SHORT MEASURING
 OF GASOLINE PUMPS.
Motorists Are Being Cheated Out of
 Millions of Dollars a Year.

Washington, Oct. 19.-Short measur- ing gasoline pumps, according to an investigation by the federal bureau of standards, are mulcting motorists of millions of dollars year. In Illinois alone the loss is not less than S500,000 year. Tests in many cities have confirmed previous conclusions and actual tests of the types of pumps used by retailers at the bureau here have shown 80 per cent. of them give short measure for various reasons. Some of them are faults of construc- tion and others are susceptible to manipulation by the dealer.
 This tendency toward deficient measure" says an announcement by the bureau, "is worthy of careful con- sideration, as it results in the aggre- gate enormous monetary losses to the public.
 Tt is safe to sa ythat in all locali- ties not under an efficient and com potent weights and measures admins tration, an din a large majority of those which have a relatively compe- tent administration, the condition of measuring pumps Is such that the mo- | toring public is being subjected to | regular and continuous shortages in its l purchases of gasoline.''

EPisCOPALIANS CLASH
 OVER BOOK OF PRAYER
One Faction Held That Any War is
 Unchristian.

St. Louis, Mo-. Oct 19-Militarist ciashed with p8cif1st in debate on prayer in the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal general conven- tion here today, over the proposal of the commission on the enrichment of the Book of Common Prayer to add prayers for the army and the navy, which divided the body into two fac tionS.
 The prayer which was finally adopt ed asked the Lord, God of Hosts, to strengthen and protect the soldiers of our country; support them in the day of battle and in time or peace keep them safe from evil"
 It also pleaded that 'in all things they may serve without reproach." A similar prayer suggested by the com mlttee for the navy also was adopted.
 One faction, led by the Rev. John Howard Melish of Brooklyn, held any war is un-C Christian and that no sol- dier can serve without reproach. The other, of which the Rev. Leighton Parks of Boston was the spokesman, while not championing war argued that it is the duty of the church to pray for those men who forsake civil pursuits, in which the remuneration might be greater, for the service of their country.

 Dr. Scheppegrell's association em- ploys inspectors to assist the local authorities in the discovery and prose- cution of the violators Of the grass and weed ordinances
 Tt is important, however, in pre- pairing such ordinances that the re- quirenente should not be too drastic, '' said Dr. Scheppegrell "In prominent city, for instance. there is at present an ordinance requiring the grass to be kept below four inches, the result of which is continual legal opposition to it's enforcement. We have made the limit twelve inches, which is sufficient to prevent the pollination of most hay fever weeds, and Is easily enforced"
