UNIVERLlTY OF ARIZONA

A graph has recently been pre-
pared by the University of Ari-
IONA, illustrating the progress Of
it's registration. When the Uni
versity first opened in 1892 it had
about 30 pupils, many of which
were preparatory students. In
1895 there were but SO students,
it taking five years to double the
number. In 1900, 100 students
were present, and from then I'M
til 1911 the enrolment at the
University was comparatively
uniform, for in 1911 there were
but 100 students enrolled for COL
lege work. In 1911 the prepara-
tory department was abolished,
but in spite of this, in 1912, there
were 280 students; 1918, $50
students: 1914, $50 students; 1915,
450 students, and in 1916. there
were $50 students. The progress
of the institution in the last five
years has been almost phenom-
inal.
If a graph were to be prepared
showing the cost of running the
University, even including the
new buildings that have been
provided, the increase in cost
would not be anything like the
same proportion as the increase
in students. 1t is not to be
wondered at that the University
asks for larger appropriations
each year, although the increased
appropriations asked for are much
smaller than the increase in the
student body would show.

A PRAYER 27s YEARS OLD

Oh! that mine eyes might closed be
TO what concerns me not to see;
That deafness might possess mine ear
TO what concerns me not to hear;
That truth my tongue might always tie
From ever speaking foolishly;
That no vain thing might ever rest,
Or be conceived in my breast;
That by each deed and word and thought
Glory may to my God be brought!
But what are wishes? Lord, mine eye
On thee is fixed, to thee cry;
Wash, Lord, and purify my heart.
And make it clean in every part,
And when it's clean, Lord, keep it. too,
For that is more than can do.
By Thomas Elwood 1850.

BUREAUS REPORT
Corrects Erroneous Opinions
of Public Relative to
Gasoline

IN a statement recently given
out by the United States Bureau
of Standards, effort is made to
correct two erroneous opinions
generally held by the public re-
garding motor fuel. According
to the report, specific gravity is
practically worthless as a check
on gasoline when it is desired to
gauge it's value for use in motor
cars. Just what is the proper
test is still a matter of some
doubt, and in this regard the re-
port states:
1t seems most probable that
the definition of gasoline will
have to be based on the percent
age that distils over between
specified temperatures, when the
distillation is carried out under
specified conditions. This distil-
lation test, sptakingHin nom
technical terms, lis a measure Of
the freedom with which the gaso-
line will vaporize. The gasoline
must not vaporize too freely for
two reasons that it would
not be safe, and secondly it's loss
in storage by evaporation would
be too great. Hence, the speci-
fication may have to contain
limitations of the percentage dis
tilling over below certain tenn
perature, coupled, perhaps, with
a proviso that certain percentages
shall distil over below other fixed
temperatures, in order that re-
quisite amounts of low-boiling
constituents shall be present to
insure easy starting of an engine.
Likewise the specification must
contain a provision that all must
distil over below a certain maxi
mum temperature in order to ex-
clude from the gasoline the
heavier petroleum distillates,
such as kerosene.
The report also informs the
public that that it must not ex-
pect the Bureau of Standards to
take hasty action in formulating
a gasoline test. II says:
1T is extremely important that
we proceed with the greatest
caution and in the light of the
fullest technical information. /
There is only one way, or at most .
a very few ways, of doing the
right thing, while there is an in
finite number of ways of doing
the wrong thing. A mistake of
any kind, such as a specification
that is unnecessarily restricted
and which might unduly limit
competition, will disturb economic
and manufacturing conditions,
and might only result in impos-
ing greater burdens on the con-
suming public. =
There are two aspects to the
question under consideration, one
local, the other national. There
IS no doubt that the advantages
that would result from a salts
factory standardization of gaso-
inc by the National Government
are many. Not the least of these
would be its influence on state
and municipal legislation relating
10 this question, and it's effect in
such legislation more
nearly uniform throughout the
Legislative bodies are
beginning to take up this ques-
ion, and much of this legislation ,
$ certain to be ill-advised, al
;hough enacted with the best in
,entions, because it can not in
he nature of things receive the
careful consideration of technical
experts that is required for the
satisfactory solution Of questions :
If this kind. 1t will readily be
seen that the effect of indiscrim-
nate legislation might produce
conditions nothing short of
chaotic"

TALKS WITH THE.
BUSINESS Man
By NELS DARLING

copYRGHrEp]
Here are few dont'S to be observed in writ
ing newspaper advertising:
Don't give list Of goods that are always car
red in store of your kind without giving prices.
you are in the dry goods business people know
that you carry calicoes-the price is what interests
them.
Don't run the same advertisement week after
week, but change your copy at least every other
issue, or better still, EVERY issue of the paper
Don't use twenty inches Of space and try to
put forty inches of advertising into it, One thing
well advertised is worth more to your business
than dozen articles poorly exploited.
Don't write your advertisements hurriedy
Anything that is worth doing at all, is worth doing
well.
Don't get the copy for your advertisement to
the newspapers at the last minute Have II ready
and in the hands Of the editor several days before
the date OF publication.
Don't advertise just now and then, but keep
at it all the time A small space used constantly
is worth more in final results than large space
used occasionally. .-.
This short talk is one of negations. My next
will tell of things to do.

tor of the accredited county high
wagly into Pahranagat valley.

mis- fsioners were asked to designate
the 4 lew Gardner, or Chrystal Springs
roa@d, as the official route to the val
leyH Mr.. Love, in support of his pc
t1ticpn,, set forth the claim that the
ChTfystal Springs road would not on
ly sserve practically all residents of
the #valley to advantage, but also set
up the claim that it Is the only
road entering the valley where heavy
grades would practically be elminat-
ed. Furthermore, that it would serve
as theA most direct route to the min
lni district at Groom, which is now
coming into great deal of promi-
