COAL GAS FOR AUTOMOBILES
Fuel Costs Only Twelve Cents for
Charge Equal in Power to One
Gallon of Gasoline.

Arthur Fl. Jackson, an English me-
chanical engineer, who arrived in New
York from London on his way to Hong
Kong, Sid that the high price Of gaso-
line in England, where it sells at S1.1o
gallon, has caused motor power ex-
perts to experiment with compressed
coal gas for motor trucks and automo-
bileS. The point in its favor is that
the gas fuel costs only II cents for a
charge equal in power to gallon Of
gasoline.
"The ministry Of munitions" Mr..
Jackson said, "favors the coal gas
fuel. as it's manufacture increases the
output of by-products needed for ex-
plosives. The Glasgow corporation
has ben advised by a special commits
sion that coal gas is practicable for
commercial motor vehicles. Any en-
CINE can be fitted for it's use in few
hours without interfering with the use
of gasoline, should any change be de-
sired. In closed cars and motor trucks
the gas Is carried in containers on the
roofs, and in open cars it may be car
ried on canopies running the length
of the body. Containers now in use
hold only 25o feet Of gas, which is
about equal to a gallon Of gasoline,
and that Is one Of the objections to
it's use.''

The Serious Side.

The summer is past, the harvest at
it's end. What have you to show for
your work? The days speed quickly,
and "going to do it tomorrow" does
not get deeds done. ''Work today"
"do it now," are trite notices, but use"
full admonition.
Cloudy and chilly days come ocea-
sionally, reminding one that another
season is at it's close. What have you
gained from your summer daysf Is
your body stronger, your mind fuller
of stored knowledge, your soul grown
to wider appreciation OF the true
things of life? Are you more human,
more charitable? Have you a better
understanding of the rights and needs
of men? What memories have you
stored up for future reflection during
the long winter nights?
Recreation and entertainment have
their rightful place in life, but serious
thought must fill the mind or one Will
not grow. Not to advance means Gle
cay, death. To be ever growing is a
necessity through life. But to ad'
vance, time must be given to the high
er things in life. To what end are
you speeding? What are your aims

Fewer Horses.

Despite the growth in population and
increased areas under cultivation, the
horse population OF Los Angeles coun-
ty, California, is now less than one
half as much as in 1900. The auto
mobiles and motortrucks have in
creased from 6 to 1915. The 47,oOO
horses in the county in 1900 were val
ued at s5.OOO,OOO. In 1910 the drop in
number was to $1,000, and in the en-
suing six years to 10000. The pres
ent automobile valuation is nearly
S1OO,OOOOO0. Excellent road condi'
tions are considered largely responsible
for the above figures.

SACRIFICES OF ARMY DOCTOR
Home Practice and Other Advantages
Relinquished to Serve Country
During the War.

One-ffth of the total number OF
physicians in the United States will
have to enroll for military duty If this
war continues for another year, OBJ
serves Leslie's Weekly. All but
small percentage of them must enroll
voluntarily. All but small percent
age of them have families to support
and these and others are wholly de-
pendent on the income Of the head OF
the house for this support. The phy-
sician from 35 to 45 years Of age, the
age Of greatest usefulness for mill
tary service, is at that critical period
of his professional and financial de-
yelopment that two years of forced aD-
sence is liable to affect disastrously
his whole career.
The change means, if there is no in
dependent income, sacrificing OF In
surance, lapsing of the mortgage
Withdrawing of children from school,
a complete change Of method OF nv"
ing, and great risk Of returning after
the war with a lucrative practice d1-
vided among the stay-at-homes. A
law has recently been introduced IN
the senate by Senator Owen Whlcn
provides an increased rank for med
ical officers of the reserve corps, that
will in some way meet the financial
burden of the volunteer doctor ana
will furnish him rank equal to the
dignity Of his civil position.

syfI"EEN SHIPS nEE::a!!a rkisE3
war Brings Day OF Resurrection fcF
Many Vessels for Years Listed
as Discarded Wreck.

Certainly the day Of resurrection
has come, for ships. Rulks long since
sunk, all but forgotten, rise in their
very bones, take on renewed bodies
and with the rhythmic heartbeat Of
new engines feel the blood coursing in
their veins once more, observes the
Boston Transcript. Abandoned coal
barges, hulls Of whale ships, Of little
cargo carriers that have lain at dis
nantled wharves for half century,
struggle from their graves in the ooze,
feel again the measured clink Of caulk-
ing iron, lift proud topmasts and shout
with joy from the very diaphragms Of
their swelling sails as the forefoot
thrills to the blare Of blue water.
Wrecks Of the ancient side-wheelers
rise as we'll and with vigor Of ea-
gine life such as did not exist In their
day, go down to the sea.
The sea shore is prohed for these,
and the very lakes seud their quota.
At Ashland, Wis, for instance, on Lake
Superior, the sida-wheeler Emerald,
sunk at the slip "a years ago, is on
her way up. The ore-carrier Sevona,
which broke in two on a shoal six
years since, is to be raised and put to-
gether again. And so the reports come
from slip and shoal the world over.
Il the war, with all its menace and
its heartache, can give up once more
mighty merchant marine and revive
the proud traditions Of American sea-
manship, as it bids fair to, it viii have
done one great thing for the country.

Measuring Time.

The refnements Of modern time
keeping are illustrated in an invesu-
CATION recently carried out by F. u.
Uric. under the direction Of the Unit
ed States naval observatory, to deter
mine the 'lag'' between the Arlington
and Great Lakes time signals, both OF
which are received by wire from the
naval observatory and converted auto
matically into wireless signals. Be

WISH TO CONTROL CEMETERY
Foreicners In Rome Urge italian Cow
ernment to Take Over Burial
Ground Owned by Germany.

War has drawn attention to the fact
that the great Protestant cemetery in
Rome, where are buried many distin-
guished foreigners including the poets,
Keats and Shelley, is the property of
the German government, and the rent
ais for plots therein are still paid to
German agents.
More than century ago Prussia
was the only non-Roman Catholic pow
er represented at the Vatican. There
fore, it was Prussia which obtained
the concession for cemetery to be
used for the bodies Of those not OF the
Roman faith, and the property still
remains in the hands of the German
government.
Prominent foreigners now are urging
that the Italian government should
take over the cemetery and place 1t
under British protection.

LAFAYETTE Flying Corps.

Considerable confusion exists in the
minds of many persons about the dit-
ference between the Lafayette Esca-
drille and the Lafayette Flying corps.
This famous aeronautic body was
the Section d'Aviation Of the Legion
Etrangere in the early days OF the
war. To mark the number of Ameri-
cans who were sharing the dangers and
victories the name was changed to the
Franco-American Flying corps. But as
the United States was not then at war
with Germany complaint was made
that this was a breach of neutrality.
TO avoid giving offense the name
was changed to the Lafayette Flying
corps, which is the present Official
DESIGNATION.

HOW MATCH FIGURES IN lgna
Scarcity Of Brimstone-Headed Stress
Results In Special Controller Be-
ing Named in England.

Ne commodity has had more adven-
lures than the match. The announce
ment of the appointment OF special
controller all to itself is fitting eli
max to a checkered history, says the
Manchester Guardian. In the memory
of our grandparents the cumbrqus
+'Prometheans' that sought to displace
flint and steel were a high-priced luz
ury impossible to the poor.
In the memory of our fathers Henry
George, for one, condemned the matcl.
as one of the articles that we're "too
cheap" He had in mind, of course,
the sweating and the poisoning Of
workers that for too long went to the
making Of cheap matches.
Yet the popular insistence on cheap
matches turned out OF office British
chancellor Of the exchequer and coined
an immortal epigran; and the superb
ority Of the matches that can normal
IL be bought in this country over the
flinasy, lifeless, expensive sorts sold
across the channel under government
control has given the free-trader one
of his most homely and incontestable
arguments. The British match must
now suffer control.
Such matches as there are will be
fairly apportioned at fixed prices. we
do not doubt that there will be enough
to 20 round, for, faced with a famine
in some districts and with loose
matches at 80 for a penny in Others
people have already begun to make
that economy in consumption which,
with no greater sacrifice than Little
care, might easily save half OF the
matches burned.

HOW GREAT WARS ARE WON
1t Is Very Rarely That Conflicts Are
Victorious Because Of Superior
valor, Says Writer.

The vulgar idea of war is that the
victory is won by superior valor or
other moral virtue, writes H. Side
botham in the Atlantic This, however,
has very rarely been the case; al
most all Western nations, at any rate,
are equally brave, though the valor OF
some excels in obstinacy and endur-
ance and of others in daring and elan.
By far the commoner causes OF VIC
tory and defeat are political or tech
nical.
Sometimes Ito take the domain
of tactics) it is a new weapon that
wins victory on the battlefield, or at
any rate contributes to the ease with
which it is won; sometimes, as IN
the Roman and in Frederick's armies,
it is superior discipline, greater physi-
cal fitness, and practice in aaneuver
that win the victory. More eften it
is some new formation Of liHe. Those
tactics commonly succeed best Of all
which are both new and adapted to
the genius of the people using them.
Thus the Beers in the South African
war developed a highly original sys-
tenn of mounted infantry tactics By
simply using their horses in war time
as they did going about their ordinary
business on their wide sheep farms,
and similarly in the American wars
the woodsmen made ideal skirmishers.

German Salmon Bred in Thames.

Some good things come from Ger
many, and one Of them is the German
salmon, which is now being bred on a
large scale in the Thames and has the
advantage being non-migratory. At
least it is non-migratory in it's native
waters, but it may change its habits
here, says a London correspondent, as
happened with the English and Amer
lean brook trout which were planted IN
New Zealand. III English waters the
brook trout is never migratory, but In
New Zealand they rapidly developed
into confirmed sea rovers, and have
now become a fine and healthy race OF
sea trout, affording excellent sport
and attaining unusual size.

FAR REACHING VICTORY
scoRED BY "BONE Dry
PROHIBITION FORCES
H. HI Rikard,
Master.

Washington, Dec. 1o.-With a de-
eision upholding the opinion on prohi-
bition law the supreme court today gave
an opinion which may be one Of the most
far-reaching victories for "bone-dry"
prohibition yet recorded.
It was held that citizen has no con-
stitutional right to possess liquors for
his personal use if states wishes to
forbid it.
Justice McReynolds, who gave the
court s opinion that state "has power
absolutely to prohibit manufacture; gift,
nurchaso. sale or transportation of in
toxicating liquors within its borders
without violating the constitution
"We further tb::n!z-,' he added, . it
clearly follows from or numerous de-
cisions upholding prohibition legislation
that the right 'old intoxicating
liouors for pc 50 Sc is not one of
those fundame. Iileges of eiti-
zen Of the Uniteu ltes which no state
may abridge. A contrary view would
be incompatible with the undoubted
power to prevent manufacture, gift.
sale, purchase or transportation Of such
articles-the only feasible ways of get
ting them. An assured right OF posses,
sion would necessarily imply some ade-
quate method to obtain not subject to
destruction at the will of the state. y
