There are many patrons of the Post
office who do not see why the lobby
cannot be open on holidays so that
those having lock boxes can go in at
will to get their mail. 1t is all right
for the employees to enjoy the time
off and they can do this and still allow
those who have lock boxes to get their
mail without rushing to get at the
office before it closes. Besides there
is not much consistency in keeping
the lobby closed against lock box
renters, when other patrons on the
town delivery service can receive their
mail by postmen as was the case yes
terday. The lobby should really be
accessible at all hours (unless it be late
at night to box renters. The stamp
and other windows can of course con-
form to regular business hours.

SOCIETY TO CARE FOR

Bots these days, lunching at the Pre-
Catelan, or having tea at the Chinese
Pagoda you see a fleet of big autos
driven by women and full of white,

soldiers of France, you will know that
you are on the trail of one of the daily
outings given to so hospital cases not

sessed Of as great a capacity as ever
for the enjoyment Of the open air and

AUTOMOBILEFUEL
STANDARDIZED BY
Detroit SOLONS
Is First Step in Movement
Which May Become
Nation Wide

In the passage of an ordinance by
the Detroit common council. the first
step OF a movement to be made ma
tional i'll scope has been taken BY tho
Detro!ters to standardizc motor fuel.
Coo. Grating in the worE are represen-
tative of the Wolverine Automobile
club, Society OF Automobile Engineers
and automobile manufacturers.
The object Of the Standardization is
t. first | rovide a quality that can be
used readily in any temperature or al
ttude. ard second. to prevent aduttera-
ton by INSCRIPTIONS dealers. In low
temperatures il is almost an impos-
siblity for the highly developed en-
fuel being sold. Under the standard
adopted in Detroit any motor will
burn It, Oil men say somebody adul-
terates the product after it leaves
the refineries Owners of filling sta
tions say that if there is any adultera-
ton, it is done before they receive it.
The Detroit ordinance will. if copied
throughout the country put an end
to the sale of inferior fuel.
ne lSClulCdl COulHillIee OF luc w Vi
VERNE Automobile club. which in
cludes among others a leading Amer
lean automobile engineer and an En-
glish engineer CT note, cooperated with
J. c. McCabe, Of the municipal de-
partment Of safety engineering to per-
feet the Detroit ordinance. Then re-
representatives. of the S. A. E. manu-
facturers and oil companies we're call
ed to a conference, at which all agreed
the Detroit standard was fair to those
concerned.
Fuel must show twenty per cent
boiling at 220 degrees Fahrenheit in
order to qualify. This, the experts
say, will be suitable for use in any
climate or altitude. The old idea Of
showing a flash point has been aban-
dOned. The fuel car can be made either
by the so-called cracking process or
diStillation. Cracked fuel is made by
a PRESSURE System IS in the Burton
method. Distiilate is refined product
from the crude oil.

MISUNDERSTANDING SALE OF
MOTOR CARS IN CALIFORNIA

Although it is now the second state
in the country for automobiles per cap
tia, the sale of power-driven vehicles
in California continues at a record
pace" according to Alfred Reeves,
general manager of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, who
has returned to Denver, Colorado,
from six weeks trip to the Pacific
coast, where he investigated trade
conditions, appeared before meetings
of the dealer associations and city
commercial organizations, and formal
ly opened the San Francisco show
on behalf of the motor car manufac-
turerS
In going over the figures of the
motor vehicle department Of Cali
fornia, said Mr. Reeves. Il was shown
that there were more than 200,000
automobiles registered in California,
which is one for every fifteen persons
in this state. OF course, it must be
understood that many registered cars
are owned by the visitors, but they
would not change the figures to any
marked degree. The figures are only
exceeded by the state Of Iowa, where,
because of the great number OF far
mers who mus: have motor cars, the
figures are one car for every eleven
pc! sons.

COUNTY To BUILD HOUSE
FOR CON SU NJ PT|VES
Will Erect Home on County
Farm For Charges Suffering
From tuberculosis who Will
BE Isolated From Rest
of Occupants.

Floyd Hager, a young man about
80 years of age, living OH the farm of
kitchle Peery, east of town, was al
lowed S25 by the Board of Supervis-
ors Tuesday for his support. Hager
is suffering from tuberculosis, and has
been for several years, according to
Ham Carbaugh, Overseer of the Poor
in Jeffersonville district. Within the
past few months his condition has be-
come worse, and he is now unable to
support himself. The Supervisors ex-
pect to begin the erection of build
ing OH the county farm this spring
especially to take caro- of tubercular
cases, and Hager will be removed to
this building as soon as it is COM
pleted. There are IL great number of
people in this county, right in this
community, who might be saved if the
proper steps were taken NOW. The
case of Hager is one that should re-
ceive immediate attention. 1t is said
that his family and those in the COM
munity where he lives are likely to
have the disease, because of the care
less and indiscreet manner in which he
conducts himself. He uses freely the
drinking cups at his home, drinks milk
from the jars il the spring house, and
takes no precautions whatever to pre-
yent the spread of the disease.
II is hoped that the Board of Su-
ervisors will not wait until warm
Yeather to begin the erection of the
>uilding on the county farm, but will
do so at once. Hager could have been
saved if proper attention had been
given him, but it is too late now,-hc
has that tell-tale hacking cough, that
sallOw and hollow look about his face,
but there are hundreds of others in the
county who have been exposed TO the
disease that can be saved if action is
taken at once.
A rich county like Tazewell can i'll
afford to let its young people endan-
ger their lives and usefulness because
it will cost few dollars to save them.
Thousands of people die in Virginia
from this the most dreaded
of all diseases, great many of whom
could be saved.
Put up that building at once and
isolate those who are suffering from
tuberculosis from the rest of the COM
The News mas contendcd for
years that such n step should be TAX
en-, and feels Gratified that the Su-
pervisors will erect the building on
the county farm.
