GRAVITY NOT A TEST

THE popular opinion that speci-
fic gravity Tor degrees Beaume)
will suffice as a test for gasoline
is unfortunately erroneous, " says
the U. S. Bureau of Standards.
In commenting on this state
ment, recently, G. H. Rolfe,
head of the local agency Of the
Standard Oil Company, said:
The reason gravity is mislead-
ing as test for gasoline is plain
enough when you understand
that boiling points alone deter
mine real motor fuel efficiency.
Gravity tells nothing at all about
boiling points and their proper
range and continuity.
TO be 100 per cent efficient,
gasoline must have it's boiling
points in a continuous. unbroken,
gradually rising series.
in this connection it is also i'm
portant to note that only straight
distilled, refinery gasoline can
have it's polling points in a con-
tinuous chain. No mixture on
earth could be concocted to con-
tain all the hundreds of necessary
fractions. Yet the gravity of
this mixture might be satisfac-
tory, thus deceiving anyone de.
pending on gravity for motor
fuel efficiency and economy"

German Measles
at Camp Funston

The GUARDIAN has received
the following interesting letter
from Corp. Aubrey O. Bray,
Battery Z. 34Oth F. A., Camp
Funston, Kansas:
EDITOR GUARDIAN The Ger
man measles are abroad in our
camp and four batteries of our
regiment are in quarantine.
However, Battery E is not yet
under quarantine, and the Gra-
ham county boys in the batteries
that are in quarantine, asked
me to write you. so that their
folks at home would understand
why they did not write. They
are not allowed to write while
in quarantine. The epidemic is
general here and more than half
the camp is quarantined.
Don't think that because they
are under quarantine that they
don't work. Each organization
has its own drill grounds and
those who are not sick go on with
the work just the same.
The regiment is making good
progress in the course of instruc-
ton and will be in condition to
get into the Spring drive.
The quarantined batteries are:
A, C, D and F. We understand
that there is a case of measles in
headquarters company. If this
is true, it will be quarantined
some time today.

wishes for The GUARDIAN, | re-

SHERIFF WHEELER SCORED

Sheriff Wheeler and his deputies
have been severely criticized in a
report made to President Wilson
by the special labor commission,
headed by Secretary of Labor
Wilson, which recently visited
Bisbee and investigated the con-
ditions that resulted in the de-
portation of /, 1S6 striking miners.
The report said that the de-
portation was wholly illegal and
without authority in law, either
State or Federal.
1t would have been great
deal better if Sheriff Wheeler had
done his duty as an officer and
arrested the |. w. w. leaders
and placed them in Jail on charges
to be tried in court. That was

Just because they were strikers

CAUSE OF REVOLUTION

The food situation in every
nation today is loaded with dyna-
mite. Russia's revolution, with
its industrial dislocation, began
with food difficulties. Germany's
chief hope for defeating England
was to produce a similar turmoil
through disturbance to her food
supply. The food situation in
Germany itself is probably the
most definite factor making for
peace.
