OF New Dictionary

Distributing new dictionary has
brought this paper many compli-
mentary remarks. One subscriber
who presented coupons yesterday for
half dozen dictionaries for different
employees and members Of his family
said he deemed it necessary that a
dictionary should progress with the
language just as a newspaper does
Inc world moves rapidly these days,
and only the New Universities is apace
with today's growth of the language.
The departments handling this
great educational offer are being kept
busy handing out the books. More
reserves had to be rushed last night
to fill up the rapidly depleted stock.
AT this rate the first and limited edi.
ton will soon be exhausted.
While readers are eager for the
book on account Of it's being authori-
tative and complete, its absolute new
ness appeals to thousands. The New
Universities Dictionary is new in all
the word implies-new in contents,
new in type, new In arrangements of
helps to word study. Particularly is
it new in making the study Of today's
English easy for young people who
are SO situated that they cannot at
tend schools and obtain individual
instruction. Unaided, young man
or woman employed may learn the
correct use of the English of modern
business and society If they but fol-
low the directions of the great uni
versity teachers whose articles on
Standard English" practical SYM

"Etymology" appear, plainly written

Even the word "Etymology," which

giner, is made simple If one reads the

instructor in English in Cornell uni
versity. Professor Northup's article
tells how to learn where our words.

GASLESS SUNDAYS
DECLARED NEAR END

New York, Oct. 2.--zM L. Requa,
director of the oil division of the fuel
administration, discussing the gaso-
line and kerosene situation here. said:
1.-THE shortage in both these oils was
not so much due to excess Of con-
sumption over production as to the
lack of ships to bring oil from Mexi
co. In other words, II Allied tonnage
were not carrying other freight, or II
enough OF tonnage could be divert
ed to oil carrying, the shortage would
disappear quickly. Il
I'VE are getting only about 100, 900
barrels Of oil day from Mexico" :"
said Mr.. Requa. HAD we the ships
we could bring easily 100000 barrels
a day. What we need most Is gasoline
and next kerosene for tractors.
''The gasolineless Sundays will not
last much longer. .4 The response to
our request has enabled us alreadysto to
send to France 10 cargoboats carry
ing about so, 900 ], barre each, and
that helped q lot. Il I think the gaso-
line situation will be 80 we'll m hand
that the sasolineless3 Sundays will send

ALLEGED AUTO
THIEF CAUGHT
B. L. Mathison is Arrested at
Breckenridge, Mimi,
Charged with Theft.

B. L. Mathison, the alleged auto
thief who made away with the tour
ing car belonging to Moses Lundy. 724
Second avenue, was finally traced
down and arrested at Breckenridge,
Minn., this morning. At Breckenridge
he was registered at the hotel under
the name Of Kettleson.
The car was stolen a week ago last
Monday. but the loss was not reported
until five days later, fact which
made the search all the more difficult
for the police; as it gave the thief a
five days start.
Deputy Sheriff c. c. Stewart ,receiv-
ed the clue that the thief was headed
for Breckenridge and Immediately the
wires were hot with notifications to
the authorities in that vicinity. The
Grand Forks sheriff has kept in close
touch with developments and this
morning the report came in that
Mathison had been arrested at Breck-
enridge.
Sheriff A. F. Turner left this morn
ing for Breckenridge to take the pris-
oner into custody and bring him back
to Grand Forks.
Sheriff Stewart, and much credit is
due him for the thoroughness of the
search which resulted in the speedy
arrest of the supposed transgresSor,
The fact that Mathison had start on
the authorities made the task most
difficult one.
Adopted Clever Plan.
The story relating to the theft of
Mr.. Lundy's care is, in short, as fol-
lows:
Some time ago B. L. Mathison was
seen to spend considerable time in a
local garage and appeared to be es-
pecially attracted by Mr.. Lundy's
automobile. When the surroundings
had been sufficiently studied, Mathi-
son, it is alleged, went to the garage
on Monday of last week-having as
certained that Mr.. Lundy generally
did not use his car until Saturday or
sunday-Aand represented that he had
been sent by the owner of the auto
mobile to take it out for a spin.
Previously he had telephoned orders
to have the tank filled with plenty of
gasoline.
AS Mr.. Lundy did not come to the
garage until last Saturday, no report
was MADE on the theft until the man
who stole it had found ample time to
make his escape.
