RUN AUTOS WITH COAL GAS
Than Gasoline at Present High
Price of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic adj
vantagS of the utilization of coal gas
as a substitute for petrol (gasoline),
says that newspaper. 1t has been es-
tablished by actual practice that $50
cubic feet of coal gas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illumina-
ton purposes-equals one gallon of pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
ing a motor vehicle. If gas costs Y
cents 1000 cubic feet it is equivalent
to petrol at IS cents a gallon, and at
90 cents 1000 cubic feet is equivalent
to it's competitor at a cents a gallon.
AS petrol cannot be bought today
for commercial purposes at under AZ
to SO cents a gallon, it will be seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine of motor vehicle
are concerned, the only additional ex-
penditure is about $3.50, and the gas
bag container for the storing of the
vapOr costs $75. Thus, for the ex-
pendtiure of $3.50, an ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle of any description
can be converted into gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enor-
mOusly.

EFFECT OF INSECTS ON WAR
Relationship Is Closer Than Most Peo-
pie Realize, According to U. S.
Bureau of Entomology.

Entomology, that branch of zoology
which treats of insects, has much
closer relation to war problems than
most people realize, and the bureau of
entomology has asked that pamphlets,
circulars, posters, leaflets, etc., pertain
ing to war phases Of the field of
science he sent to its Office in Wash
ington, so that they can be assembled
and classified for future reference, says
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Among the questions that properly
come under this head and have bear
ing on the war are those pertaining to
the attacks OF insects on crops, the
prevention of mosquitoes, insects in
food and water and so on. While
many publications will not possess ma
terlal of special scientific value, all
will at least have historic interest.

For Darkened London.

Suggestions for making ourselves
visible "when the lights are low" are
becoming rather alarming. We are adj
vised, observes the London Chronicle,
to wear eight clothes for dark streets"
One humorist goes so far as to suggest
a "coat of whitewash" for evening
wear. White hats or CATERS would
call for less expenditure than an ex-
ira light night suit which most of US
would be obliged to add to our ward
robe. But perhaps the simplest device
would be white smock, with special
musical box attachments; for one night
wanderer says he makes a practice of
singing as he walks to let other folks
know he is coming.

Golf LINGO Made Clear.

Henry's father was a golf enthuAi-
asst; therefore Henry knew all about
the game. One time he asked:
Henry, why is it that men who play
golf always yell fore instead Of look
out or some such thing?"
Henry thought for a second time be-
fore an inspiration came from looking
at his young sister, who was diligently
getting her arithmetic.
''You see," he replied, cit takes too
long to yell 'toot-toot,' and that sounds
81 much like 'two-two' that they just
add them together and yell four p

Humor From British Tar.

An incident illustrative of the quiet
honor of the British tar is thus de-
scribed:
In Modros harbor, in the eastern
Mediterranean, a coxswain of the navy
ran his picket boat into trawler, and,
knowing his error, listened with dis
culinary patience while the irate, mas
ter expressed his views on royal naval
picket boats in q wealth of invective.
The silent coxswain pushed off, but,
passing under the stern of the trawler,
looked up at one of the crew and
shouted:
what do you feed your old man on?
