GASOLINE CLASSED
FOR USE IN MOTORS
Valuable Specifications Pre-

Government.

IN specifications prepared TO guide

chase OF gasoline the bureau OF
mines has made a report of interest TO
that great body Of gasoline buyers,
the motorists. For motor use tho
bureau classifios gasoline into three
kinds. high grade for airplanes. mid
die grade for automobiles two yenrs
and older, and third grade for up-to-

greater efficiency In handling the
heavier oils.

port. several grades of gasoline arc
sold. these generally being classified
according TO their specific gravity tho

specific gravity, and generally with
low boiling range, sells for the high

wrested the education of the child
away from the charity school; it was
hard fight. In Massachusetts this
change was made in 1917. Public
school education did not become
fairly general matter in the United
States until 1860. Many states still
lack compulsory education No doubt
some of them will have compulsory
military training before compulsory
education comes in.
1t is every bit as important to take
the life Of poor child out of the
generally unsympathetic, often bru-
tai and always stupid hand of charity,
and put back in the home where it
belongs, as it was to prevent charity
from usurping our educational sys-
tenn.

Child poverty is the worst kind of

child bad start, you cannot expect

The hope of America is in it's chill

Mothers Pension proposition is fun
damenta1. He wants to place Amer
lean children beyond the necessity of
charlty-to have them grow up in
their homes, to have the state give
the widowed mother enough money
to raise the family independent of
the bounty of rich. This is nothing
but hard common sense. It ought
to have been done half a century ago.
If you were a mother and you lost
your husband and your money, would
you prefer to have your children talk
en- from you and put in an institu-
tlon, or would you rather have the
state give you enough to raise them
at home? That is all it amounts to.

The accomplishment of the 'common people" Of
the Flour City is commendable and, The Labor
World believes, worthy Of emulation by the workers
of this city at the coming election.
Undoubtedly there will be numerous candidates
for the three offices to be filled, among them, most
likely, the present incumbents. Also there will be
candidates put forward by various organizations,
such Socialists, Public Ownership league, and
others, all Of which can properly be encompassed
by the term "Labor.'
lnasmuch Big Business concentrates on it's
candidates, and, usually, succeeds in eecting them
to office, The Labor World urgently asks for Coop
GRAFTON the part Of these various bodies, to the
end that Labor-and this includes the large major
ity of voters-may consistently and soldly support,
and elect, officials at the city hall who shall be true
representatives Of the people, and cognizant of their
responsibilities as such.
Until the various factions Of Labor can concen-
trate OIL broad minded, whole-hearted men who I'M
derstand, and sympathize WITH the struggles of the
workers. little may be expected in the attainment Of
their aspirations and progress for the betterment
and amclioration Of the tong masses
Once more, The Labor World urges cooperation
and concert.
