GERMS DECIDE CASE
$4,000 Life Insurance Hinges on
Whether Doctor Became Inoculated.

Kansas City, Aug. pa suit has
been instituted in the circuit court by
Mrs. Blanche Arthur Castle against
the Aetna Life Insurance company to
recover $4,000 on a life insurance
policy which was made in her favor
by her husband, DR.. Otto L. Castle,
who was a prominent physician and
pathoIogist. The policy provided that
in case he should die as a result of
septic infection caused by external
contact or incubation, the beneficiary
should recover on the policy.
On Feb uary 25 Doctor Castle was
making experiments with typhoid
bacilli in his laboratory by the Vidal
process and the widow asserts that he
became inoculated with typhoid germs,
which caused his death on April 25.
The technical questions for the court
to determine are whether typhoid
fever is a septic disease or not, and
whether the illness was occasioned by
contact with the germs or some for
eign agent.

Situation Acute, and Electric
Vehicles Increase to
Save Fuel

In England the gasoline situation
is so acute that coal gas-that sort
that is burned for illumination-ls
now being used for propelling auto
mobiles.
Imagine a Ford car equipped with
four uprights supporting a platform
on top, carrying a flexible gas holder
- feet long; the diameter, when
fully inflated five feet, and filled
with 200 feet Of gas, costing II
cents, sufficient to run the car with
five passengers II miles over give
.and-take roads!
The buses, so characteristic OF
English transportation (since 1913
they carried 750,000,000 persons, 80
per cent as much as the electric
tramways and so per cent more than
the railroads), are rejecting the in
fuence of and more particularly the
shortage of gasoline. =.
Mr.. White of the Great Grimsby
Street Railway Co., according to the
London Commercial Motor, states
that The Daimler engine runs very
smoothly on gas, accelerating with
the same ease as when IulhlA5 On
petrol (gasoline), and its pulling pow
ers with a full load, both on the
level and on hills, are the same as
when on petrol"
Experience with this vehicle has
shown a reduction in fuel cost per
mile run from nine to three cents,
with petrol at 50 cents per gallon and
gas at 60 cents per 1000 cubic feet.
1t is reported that the Grimsby
Co. is so we'll satisfied with the re-
suits on coal gas that it is quite pos
sible this fuel will be retained in
preference to petrol when the supply
returns to normal. Mr. White reck-
ons that petrol will have to fall to
IA cents gallon, or a reduction of
271 per cent from the prevailing cost,
before he will be inclined to go back
to it. The only disadvantage to his
mind, is the sacrifice of the top
deck in order to allow the holder to
be carried. He considers that with
large single deck bodies this difficult
ty will right itself.
Among the advantages in favor of
gas which strongly appeal to the
Grimsby officials, are the following:
% The engine keeps cleaner than
with petrol and the valves do not re-
