which have been bored through these
mountains to make railway routes be-

TRACTORS ARE USED BY CITY
Buffalo Declared to Have Best Gar bage Collection System by Boston
 Investigating Committee.

Buffalo has the best new garbage col lection plan according to three engi- neers that Mayor Curiey of Boston sent to other cities to find out which had the best one in operation. The en- gineer's report describes the Buffalo system briefly as follows:
 .sThe city Is divided into districts of such size that four horse drawn we hicles will handle thesgarbage, ashes or refuse, picking 1t up from the houses. These four vehicles after filling are pulled to central point from which a tractor takes them on the long haul 10 the reduction plant, or dump. as the case may be. In tbis way the short haul with frequent stops Is taken care of by horses, while for the long haul the tractor is used taking several traii- CTS. Care in routing vehicles would be necessary to get full advantage Of the tractors and keep them constantly working. These tractors cost about $5, 900 apiece and the trailers about $1 ,50O. For city of the size of Bos- ton the first expense for this scheme might be S250,OOc, and considerably study would be required to assure its economy"

It was impossible to hide long on shipboard in the face of an intelligent search Of one thing I was decided-if the fellow had, indeed, succeeded in slipping for ward unobserved, he was never to be permitted to return aft again unseen.

NO GASOLINE SHORTAGE

NEW YORK, January 4.--There ts no

fuel oil there will be an adequate sup

gasoline is obtained in the process Of
refining fuel oil from crude oil.
"As a matter of fact" the statement
tic demand incident to the winter
weather. the stocks of gasoline are in
creasiug and will further increase be-
fore the heavy summer demand is en-
countered.
Experience and inquiry make it
clear that the petroleum industry in
America. can and will supply all the in
creased demand for oil products of the
war, providing sufficient tank steamers
can be provided
The need of immediate Importance
Is that there be no relaxation in the
production of fuel oil. This material
liquid fuel, as it is often called, is
used by the oil-burning vessels of the
navies. by practically every Industrial
plant engaged in the manufacture OF
munitions, shipyards, gas plants, and
consumption of fuel oil is much greater
than the consumption Of any other of
the various products obtained from
crude petroleum"

SAYS AMERICAN ARMIES
WILL EQUALIZE BALANCE
Great Strain on British Resources in
Meantime, Says Sir Auck-
land Geddes.


By the Associated Press.
LONDON. January g Representa-
tives OF the government and the trades
unions met at Westminster, in what is
considered a most important confer
ence, to discuss the question Of man
power. George Ncoll Barnes, member
Of the war cabinet. presided.
Sir Auckland Geddes. minister of ma
tional service, speaking In behalf of
the government, said that the position
in the last six months had been com
pletely altered by the Russian situation,
Ultimately the balance would be more
than equalized by the American armies.
During the intervening period. how
ever. great strain would be thrown on
the country's resources.
After the closest scrutiny OF the
whole question said the minister. the
government was convinced that it
would be impossible to maintain the
armies in the field unless a large mum :
ber of men were recruited from the mu-
nttions service, not merely for the tech
nical units. but also for the fighting
units.
