"Wrcnu Number"

There Is no place where the DISPOSE
ton OF a person Is better shown than
at the telephone when one accidentally
or otherwise rings up the wrong num-
ber. Then the answer TO the signal
tells the sort Of person the respondent
is, Sometimes he gels very mad and
spitefully answers aud then with q
bang hangs up the receiver, as IL the
man who rings him up has done so
with malice prepense. But sometimes
the respondent answers with fellow
feeling In his heart and, knowing II is
no fault OF the person at the other end
OF the line. speaks gently and kindly
and really makes OF the accident n
pleasant incident. How much we all
prefer TO deal with the latter indlvid-
ual.- Exchange.

NATURAL GAS DECREASES
GASOLINE SUPPLY.

Motorists who have been panic stricken
over the possibility of gasoline famine,
will find comfort in the recent bulletin of
the United States geological survey on the
increased production Of gasoline from nat
ural gas during 1916.
1t is estimated that more than two hun
dred million gallons OF commercial gaso-
line were derived from his source last year,
the increase in raw gasoline amounting to
% per cent
This does not mean that the gasoline
shortage has been overcome, as 'Consump
tion has exceeded production and reserve
stocks are reported to be very low. But
with $50 new plants in operation for the eN-
traction of natural GAS gasoline, and the
probability OF experiments Tor producing
vegetable gasoline proving commercially
| successful, the outlook S becoming more
favorable,
