Trade After War.

The English papers are all busy
devising schemes for assassinating
German trade of all kinds after the
war, and the automobile publications,
although not in Just the same words,
are planning to apply similar meth
DDS for the benefit of British automo-
bile manufacturers against Ameican
competition, says the Scientific Am
erican.
This feeling of hostility is intensi-
fled in some quarters by the envy
aroused on reading the reports of the
war profit said to have been made
by some of the American companies,
and a writer in a prominent English
automobile publication has the poor
taste to characterize this as "blood
money" entirely oblivious Of similar
gains made by most of his own, the
British manufacturers. 1t is to be
hoped that American motor vehicle
makers are not oblivious to the situa-
tion.

Pistons Binding.

Complaints are not infrequent by
owners of cars of the pistons bind
ing. with an accompanying sluggish
action of the engine and overheating
Of cylinders. Usually this is attrib-
uted to a tight fitting piston or to
improperly fitted rings; but it is
probable that in many cases this
trouble is due to the warping Of the
cylinder when heated. The valve
pockets. jackets and lugs, that are
cast integral with the cylinder, make
an unsymmetrical distribution Of the
metal. and consequently, when ex-
pansion takes place. it is unequal in
the different parts of the cylinder,
which is swelled cat Of shape. one
advantage OF overhead valve engines
is the getting rid OF the side valve
pockets and securing symmetrical
distribution Of the metal

The Fuel Question.

1t would seem that the makers Of
automobiles, especially of CONNER
cial vehicles, are blind to their own
interest in clinging so persistently
to gasoline as a fuel, for there is ey-
cry reason to believe that the demand
for gasoline has caught up with the
supply, Notwithstanding the reserves
now tied up in Mexico and other
large resources in South America, all
Of which are in the hands of those
controlling the present supplies, says
the Scientific American. As a conse-
quence, there is little possibility of
the price of gasoline ever falling to
the figures Of a year ago, and every
expectation that the actual worlds
supply will soon show indications of
exhaustion. The only alternative, if
internal combustion motors are to sur
vive, is a cheaper and more abund-
ant fuel, which, for all that can be
foreseen, must be some description
of oil. Automobile manufacturers
persist in saying such a fuel is i'm
possible; but they said the same
thing ten years ago, when 76 gaso-
line was supposed to be the only pos
sible fuel for motor vehicles, and ev-
cry one knows the difference be-
tween that liquid and what is in reg
ular use today. The time for an
awakening has arrived.

TWILIGHT SLEEP is A FINE THING
IF YOU CAN AFFORD II
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

Arow that the far-famed Dammer-
IN schalf or twilight sleep" has been
introduced into the movies, we feel that
we are safe in venturing to speak of it.
Twilight sleep is the strange name given
to method of producing forgetfulness
and partial loss of pain sense in child
birth. The effect is produced by the In
lection into the skin of mixture OF NOR
phine or a derivative thereof and scopo-
lamine, the latter a narcotic which makes
the patient forget her experience.
Authorities differ. That is one grand
thing about competent authorities.
Haven't you noticed how cordially they
differ about everything, even the consti-
tuition and the law? Medical authorities
differ because what is one patients food
happens to be another patients poison,
and the authorities will differ Just as
hard as they can without considering Nv
different people are in that respect. tut
then 1t is fortunate for the world in gem
eral that authorities do differ about
everything. wouldn't this be a dreary,
cut-and-dried existence IL authorities al
ways agreed?
Now, twilight sleep is fine thing, II
you can afford the prolonged attendance
Ii requires on the part OF the doctor. Twi-
light sleep is a fine thing for some pa
tients, even II they can't afford it-and
great many patients who can't afford a
doctor. saying nothing of nurse. are re-
ceiving It In various hospitals. Yes. even
in some of those hospitals managed by
lay boards-but kept going by the charity
of the medical staff.
The fact is that twilight sleep, like sal
varsan, tuberculin the X-ray. radium and
nearly all new medical discoveries. is only
about 80 per cent. as valuable as the first
headlines regarding 1t would lead one to
think.
And, by the way. hyoscine and NOR
phine have been used as an anesthetic
in childbirth and surgical work in this
country for at least 15 years, and
hyoscine, some authorities declare is iden-
tical in chemical character and thera-
peutic effect with scopolamine.

GROWTH OF THE PARISH.
The first church in this parish was used
originally for Protestant service. The old
St Edwards. at the northeast corner OF
Sth and York streets, was until 1865 known
as st. Bartholomew's and was owned by
an Episcopalian congregation.
The new church, one of the most mag
nlfcent in the city, was solemnly blessed
by the late Archbishop Ryan on October
4, 1906 1t cost about S2S0,000
No sooner was the new church complet-
cd and open for worship than the rec
tor, the Rev. c. j. Vandegrift set about
planning for new school to be erected
on the site of the old church, at 7th and
York streets. The work of razing the
old building began in June. 1910 The
cornerstone of the new building vas laid
on Sunday, October 16, 1910. The school
was completed during the following sum-
mer and occupied by Sisters and pupils
at the opening of the school term in Sep
tember. Father Vandegrift died on Mon
day June r. 1912
