thinks he can use the typhoid epf-
demic for that purpose" The city
officials declined to make any state
ment on the movement to abandon
the commission form OF govern
ment announced by the Socialists
yesterday.
The request written by Owens
stated that the meeting was TO be
held for the purpose Of discussing
with the citizens Of Moline the tys

lief commission millions in the lit

quickly, and an urgent appeal to
Moline to come forward in support

Italian scientist, il a book Just
published on the subject Of war
md population, says that there
will be in England 121 women be
tween the ages Of 20 and II to
every 100 men between the same
ages, if the war ends next year. In
1910 the proportion was 108 to 100.
In France there will be 124 wOm-
en- Of those ages, the writer states,
to every 100 men. In Germany
where the sexes were almost even
" balanced before the war, the
proportion will be 119 women to
100 men.
Eugenically in all the fighting
countries the war viii cause an i'm

USE KEROSENE As

The journey Is being made by
way q Chicago, Columbus and

vision Of 2 United States army Off
Ger The truck is pulling a trailer
and both are under heavy loads.
The Velie kerosene caTbuTetOr
has been in use some months on
several local trucks and cars 1t
is regularly used on the Velie trac-
tor and its success is pronounced.
The possibilities and economy of
such device II these days of high
fuel cost were instantly recognized
ty the government and its interest
IN the matter suggested the difficult
and trying test just started.
It is claimed any form of low
grade fuel can be burned in the
inev TeIte carburetoT. since the fuel
itself is actually gasffied before Il
enters the motor. More power is
developed than with gasoline; in
fact, the resulting performance IS
far superior 10 anything heretofore
