FUEL OIL soon TO BE LEADER.

That the British and American gov

ments. have begun to substitute oil for
coal in ships, is but a foreshadoWng
of the same process throughout the in
dustrial world. The British admiralty
has under construction the largest fuel
oil container i'm the world in England.
1t is to he all concrete. Great Britain
is remote from the sources of fuel oil
supply. and, with her accustomed fore
handedness, is building a base of fuel
supply for her oil driven ships. The
dispatches from overseas indicate that
there will be many such. The abandon
ment of coal as a dependable source
of supply of energy by the British navy
is now an accomplished policy. This is
also true of the American navy, and of
the American merchant marine. The
per cent of contemplated oil-driven ships
as against other motive power, is ap
proximately around -. This estimate
does not include internal combustion
engines Fuel oil is in such high favor
as a team making factor that the navy

Aside from governmental adoption Of
fuel oil as practical driving agent
the Atlantic Coast lines are adapting
their steam making apparatus, as rap

The Original Wise Guy.

We are going to lay a belated but
we'll deserved wreath on the lonely,
weed-decked mound on the tramp
printer, before all memory of him
departs from the sons of men.
The tramp printer, for a genera
tion or two. on the average saved the
lives of nineteen editors and dozen
publishers every day in the week but
Saturday night. Unless they paid
Monday.
He was an itinerant, rambling,
cynical. competent son-of-a-gun.
He wouldn't work longer than
necessary to raise the price OF one
Gsouse, and he was the bartender's
delight in forty-some states and
territories, but we never saw one yet
that wasn't whiz at his job.

He didn't require a million dollars

more about editorial ethics and news

He didn't have much to say-hf

TIGHTER THAN A SKIRT
That's Way American League Race
Looks with July 4 Near.

Chicago, June 19-The approach Of
July 4. the date supposed to deter
mine final standings in the big leagues,
finds the American league race tighter
than a modern skirt.
The White Sox. Yanks, and In
dams are battling for first place with
old time ferocity. The White Sox,
out in front. are not foolish enough to
call it cinch. They may get away
with the swag. but it's uncomfortable
to have a pair of well armed dicks"
like the Yanks and Indians so hot on
the trail
The Chicagoans completed long
stay on the home grounds with fine
lead. This was lost with great speed
and emphasis in the east, the Yanks
stepping into. first place. The Sox got
back by remaining idle while st.
Louis walloped New York. Their hold
on the perch is precarious now.
The three leading teams in this cir
cult appear well balanced in hitting
and pitching strength. Cleveland
flinging corps making the poorest
showing. Speed and fight hack of the
three good hurlers Nave kept the -
going, overcoming for the time the
heavier hitting power of New York
and Cleveland. If the Sox should cop
the flag-and Chicago fans fail to see
the fit will be because of the
fighting spirit and solidarity of the
squad
