percent more gasoline was used in
America in 1915 than in 1914 and that
20 percent more will be consumed in

by available facts. In 1904 the con-

a price of 35 cents before the movement
is ended The situation makes demands
upon both the skill of Americans in
continuing substitutes and our ability
to conserve supplies of petroleum and
gas which we have hitherto exploited
prodigally.
As for substitutes, secretary Lane
urges foremost the perfection of motor
machinery which will consume kero-t
sene and other heavier distilIates OF
petroleum. Experts on internal COM
bustion engines are said to agree II
such machinery is feasible New
processes may be found for increasing
the percentage of gasoline derived in

oils Of unusual composition and for
better production Of gasoline from

But it viii nevertheless some day be

All the critics travelling with the
White Sox are predicting changes in
the team and yelled hints poTtend a
shift that may upset tradition. Stress
is laid on the way Ed Collins and Joe
Jackson are failing to hit in the
pinches. Ed is not having luck at
any time, and Joe has been failing
regularly with men on bases.
Jack Fournier has improved some-
what in the east, but his fielding has
been coTespOndingly weak, and the
loss of two games is attributed to his
poor work around first base.
No better pitching could be asked
than the Sox have received. A wreck

tions of the South Siders should not
have lost a game behind the brand of
hurting that has been turned in by

Reds. Herzog wants to get rid of his
relief first baseman, but so far has

MoIIwitz is fine fielder, but his
hitting ability before American
league pitchers is a doubtful guam
tity. He started at a fast clip this
year in the National, but in previous
seasons has not been much of a
cIouter on a years work.

ened drastic action. Publication of
this sentiment tended to quiet the,
rOwdies, but they have broken out
again.
The ball game would never have
been completed if there had not been
a large crowd present. Rain came
down during New York's portion of
the fifth inning and halt was called
for 20 minutes. At the conclusion
of that period the grounds were in
terrible condition, but the Umpires
ordered the athletes to continue.
Good fielding was impossible, but
one team was affected no worse than
the other.
OF course, there will be a complaint
of cOmmercialism because the game
was pushed and the rain checks were
voided. But if the game had not
been pushed through, there would
have been just as big kick from the
disappointed fans. 1t was a fifty
fifty proposition.
Manager Tinker made his 1916 de-
but at snort, and after the game de-
clared his intention of remaining on
the job. Joe made one wild throw,
but considering the condition of the
ball and the grounds it was excus-
able, and he cOmpetently cared for
every other chance. At bat he faced
Tesreau four times, failing to hit
safely He met the ball squarely,
however.
New York batters, as predicted,
found the right field wall to their lik-
ing, and Doyle and Robertson each
boosted one over. The blow of the
Iast-named person came with two

would have been a home run on any

.Honeybee's Internal Machine

From the Popular Science Monthly.
In proportion to it's size. the Sung oh
the honeybee is probably the most
effective Internal machine in existence.
The singing apparatus is smaller tnan
that of rattlesnake. yet single sting
has been known to kill man. When
we realize that 1t is almost invisible,
and consider what it can do, we can
not fail to be astounded. 1t seems the
very quintessence Of devilishness.
The honeybee's sting is complicated
so complicated that many words and
much ink have been used in discussing
it's construction and use. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the sting consists
of shaft of three parts, the princi-
pal one being a sheath within which
move two barbed 1ancets. Like the
barbs of fishhook, the lancets are
not easily extracted from the flesh
into which they have been driven. The
sheath and the 1ancets combined form
a hollow tube through which the poi
son flows from the poison sac. Two
hairy soft projections, evidently very
sensitive. inform the bee when she is
in contact with stingable object.
