say it suggests the days Of

also something about it that is
reminiscent, however slightly,
of one hardly knows whether
to say Heppelwhite or Thomas

teen pieces plus two hand mir
rors. The color is an elusive
shade of yellow with heliotrope
border stripes and a small
floral decoration. The pieces
are a bureau, chifforobe with
toilet glass, twin beds, a desk,
two chairs, a rocker, somnoe,
dressing table and the two
hand mirrors.
The price is $795.

many fights as desired, were all that
were allowed in this state.
Two days later Stewart had intro
duced his 25-round ''boxing exhibi-

to it, he began a strong fight.
"There was absolutely no trading

KANSAS CITY, April Hog and
sheep prices took sharp swing up
ward last week. Hogs sold last Fri
day up to $2O.15, a new high price
for the year. Lambs sold up to
$20.25 last Thursday, but no fresh
offerings were here the following day
and choice Western lambs would
have brought $2o5O had any been of
fered. Wethers sold up. to S16.75 and
ewes $3.50, both new records for the
season. Fat cattle ruled steady most
of the week.
The. Weeks Receipts
Receipts last week were 8,472 cat
tie, 4,182 calves, 58,569 hogs and 26,-
STA sheep. This was an increase Of
about 5000 cattle, the same nun nbel
of hogs, and decrease Of 1000 sheep
compared with the preceding week
Receipts a year ago were 1896 cat
tie, 1882 calves, 59,771 hogs and 49,
364 sheep.
Beef Cattle
Though trade in beef steers was
dull at times there was no important
price change in the market. Choice
steers ruled stronger and medium
grades weaker. A new high record
for the year was reached at $19.50
for prime Nebraska steers. Four
oads weighing 1,436 pounds brought'

BOILING POINTS
ONLY As TESTS
OF GASOLINE

AS the Standard Oil company points
out in an announcement elsewhere in
this issue the government has adopt
ed boiling points as standard test
of gasoline value. The gravity test
was discarded because it told nothing
fof the real quality of gasoline
It was the needs of the war which
caused the government to seek a
standard test for aviation and gen
Ieral motor gasoline as part of its
fuel conservation program. The de-
Imand for gasoline and other petro-
leum products had become so great
tlat some action was necessary. Con-
equently, last summer President VIII
On appointed a committee under the
direction of the fuel administration
to adopt standard specifications for
gasoline.
This committee stated in its report
that there would be no gravity lini-
tations in the specifications for either
aviation or motor gasoline because it
had been found that gravity was of
tie or no value in determining the
quality. Of gasoline. Fhe standards
adopted were based on boiling points.
Gasoline is known to- the refner
as one member of the petroleum fam
lily. He distinguishes each member
Of the family, not by gravity, but by.
boiling points. Gravity is fieeting
standard of test, but boiling points
are unchanging in their value and al.
ways determine the quality of the
product. Knowing them the refner
can keep his product uniform and re-
liable.
A boiling poi~t i ',e temperature
at which liquid will hogin TO boil
or va or'izo.
Ir dis i lg a given quantity of
gasoline the refner ascertains at
what point each 10 per cent will boil,
until the entire quantity is evapor-
afed or distilled. In this way he de-
Itermines what is known as the initial
boiling point, as well as all interven-
inng boiling points in the chain, up
to the maximum, high boiling point.
The ideal gasoline has continuous
and uniform chain Of boiling points,
and should have enough low points
to vaporize freely and to give easy
starting. There should also be the
right proportion of medium and high
boiling points for quick acceleration,
full power and long mileage.
AS combustion starts with lowest
boiling points and flashes on through
the gas, the continuous, uniform
chair is necessary for instantaneous
full powered combustion. Only
straight-distilled, all-refnery gasoline
can have this full and unbroken
chain.
The United States Governmene's
standard specifications, based on boil
ing points, are generally considered
i'm the light of conditions today as the
most practical standard for gasoline.
They insure an efficient and satisfac-
tory fuel, porduced with due regard
for conservation, and sold at reas-
enable price.
All Red Crown gasoline now being
supplied on the Pacific Coast is re-
fined to conform to these specifca-
tions. It has a full, uniform chain
of boiling points necessary for easy
starting, quick, smooth sacceleration,
dependable power and long mileage.

 In making this stupendous film, Griffith was aided by the French and British governments. The entire play ing company was obliged to spend week after week within range of the big Ger man guns while the necessary scenes were being made.
 Hearts of the World" is unques- tionably the largest and most expen- sive screen work ever attempted. More than 130,000 feet of film were made by Griffith, from which he compiled 13,000 feet of film. In other words, he used only one out of every ten feet of film made. Cost of the production was enormous, so great in fact that the ac- tual figures have never been an- nounced.
 Starring in the offering are Lillian Gish, as the lover; Dorothy Gish, as the Little Disturber;" Robert Harron as the American artist in France, and Ben Alexander as the little brother
 The most wonderful and spectacular battle scenes ever produced are shown i in this film, while pictures of smoke and gas attacks on the battle fronts will live forever.
 Three complete performances will be given today and Saturday. The first will start at 2:15, the second at 5:15 and the third at 8 o'clock. The com i plete Hearts of the World" music i score has been secured and will be played by the Columbia orchestra.

Fs[ heater ENTIRE. PROCEEDS AT PLAZA TODAY TO GO
 TO SALVATION ARMY

Today at the Plaza theater every cent taken in goes to swell the home service fund of the Salvation Army, W. F. Cavaness, the proprietor of the theater, having donated the entire pro- ceeds to this worthy object through the local lodge of Elks.
 Mir. Cayaness is not doing things by halves and is paying all the expenses of the film that the Salvation Army may profit by the entire gross proceeds of the day and evening.
 The offering at the Plaza today is an especially Interesting one and will be worthy the patronage of a large num- Der of citizens. The master photoplay Crashing Through to Berlin" the great war review, is the bill. The en- tire cast is made up of stars such as never before were gathered together for single production. Some of the most notable personages in history are to be seen on the screen including President Wilson, King George of Eng land, King Albert of Belgium, Presi- dent Poincaire of France, Emmanuel of Italy, General Foch, the greatest strategist of all time; General Joffre, General Petain, General Haig, General Pershing and every other famous lead ing figure in the great world conflict just closed
 William Hohenzollern, the mad mon arch, is the villain of the photoplay. There is no actor made up to represent the former kaiser, it is the kaiser himself who. is seen on the screen in this great production. From the slay- ing of the Archduke Ferdinand of Aus tria, in what has been proclaimed openly as a conspiracy by Germany to involve the world in hateful struggle for dominance of land and sea, every event in the war that smacked of fic- tion was disregarded. nothing but the real truth is placed on the screen.
 Remember, every cent taken in at the Plaza theater today and tonight goes to the home service fund of the Salvation Army.

TRAMWAY FARE QUESTION RAISES
 BIG DISC0NTEN7'

London, July Il. The question of the increase in the tramway fares and also those of the motor omni- buses has caused widespread discon- tent here lately. In some instances the fares in London and the surban districts have been raised more than one hundred per cent over those charged in pre-War days.
 The result has been that public opinion has been worked up to such an extent that nearly every day Lon don Members of Parliament are ask ing questions on the subject in the House of Commons and deputations are frequently seeking interviews with the London County Council and the omnibus companies concerned.
 The first step toward the increase was the abolition of the half penny fare and latterly the reduction of the distances which could be traversed for the penny fare.
 The companies declare that the increase is necessary to meet the ex- tra expenses which have occurred by the workmen's demands for shorter hours and more pay. The public all leges that the additional cost of run ming is made up by the extra fares taken since hostilities ended.
 An interesting s3deHght on this is provided by the accounts of the 0las- gow Corporation Tramways in the next largest city to London The year that has just closed has proved a record for the city. Prior to the war the fares were the cheapest in, the country and have aince been maintained as before. sss
