WASHINGTON, Jan 3. Discus

Tended the President and his propos-
ais, Senator Lodge, Of Massachusetts,
the Republican leader, urged haste in
concluding peace, declaring the sit

The Massachusetts Senator denied
charges that he and other Republican
leaders were attempting toembarrass
the President abroad by recommend
ing that consideration OF d League
of Nations and other proposals be de-
ferred until after the Peace Confer
ence He said that since the peace
Of the world was Involved "the
ambition Of fate Of Presidents or po-
litical parties is infinitely of small
comparison to what is before the
Senate" He added:
" ! feel that our first duty Is to
act in the living present to bring
peace to the world in the year of TO-

make peaceful world in the year

THAT is the duty that seems to me

WINTER, SAYS PROPHET

WHITINsvILLE, Mass, Jan. A.
There will be fifty-seven snowstorms
this winter SO states Arthur T..
Searles, of this town, weather prop
het.
Last year he figured forty-t two
snowstorms, and they came according
to his reckoning. Mr. Searles bases
his predictions on mathematics.
He adds the age of the moon and
the day Of the month on which the
first snow falls. Saturday was the
Both of the month (November), and
a new moon came on the Bird. Add
ing the days of the moon gives Mr..
Searles's total of fifty-seven snow
storms.

Herbert G. Hoover, United States
Food Administrator, now over seas in
conference with allied food control
lers to formulate the World Relief
program, cables as follows:
"Will you convey Christmas greet
ings to all our staff, also state and

From this side no one can but appre-
ciate the great contribution to win
ming the war that the perfect team
work ad devotion of the Food Ad-
ministrator has made possible.
Europe will be another six months
in recovering from its main food diff
cultes and thus some task remains be-
fore u.s.
Deaths by war have amounted to
about five million; deaths by famine
in the same period exceed twenty
millions, according to reports re-
ceived by the West Virginia division
of the food Administration.
The hunger map of Europe just is
sued by the Food Administration
shows that many countries are starv-
ing and that unless relief comes soon
additional millions will die from star
walton before next harvest.
These hungry nations look to Amer
lea as the most reliable food reser-
voir. The Food Administration is
asking that we save from our plenty
that America may be able to feed
these starving millions overseas.

smbolus, blood clot obstructing the
artcrial circulation near the heart
was given as the immediate cause Of
deaht.
A resident of Oyster Bay said yes
terday:
"His body lies here, but his heart
is buried in France"
For in France, beloved son, Quen
TIM sleeps after paying the supreme
price of patriotism. The death of
this bearer of the Roosevelt name is
believed to have been shock that
underlay all other maladies suffered
by the late Colonel.
NEW YORK, Jan. Sth-In the
home of many happy days the bod '
Of Colonel Roosevelt, master of Sag
amore Hill, is ready for the final
rites.
To-day his physical temple will be
given to the dust. Without the SEM
blance of song, without one mark
Of pomp or eulogy, one of the nations
most active opponents of -blooded
energy will be ushered to the silent
halls Of death.

EFFECTIVE CONSERVATION OF
NATURAL GAS PLANNED
IN WEST VIRGINIA.


WASHINGTON, D. c. Jan. 9Th
The annual saving Of twenty-six bill
ion cubic feet Of natural gas the e.
quivalent of one-eighth Of the entire
domestic natural gas consumption o.
the United States, can be affected in
a single industry in West Virginia BY
state regulation, which will be pro-
posed TO the legislature of West Vir-
ginia at its coming session beginning
January 10th at Charleston, accord
ing to an announcement made TO-DAY
by the United States Fuel Admins
tration.
A movement is under way for w.
Va. to continue the activities for
natural gas conservation which have
been started by the United States
Fuel Administration. All the plants
in the vicinity of Grantsville, w Va.
which manufacture carbon black,
otherwise known as lamp black, from
natural gas have voluntary agreed to
close down Immediately. This agree
ment, which has just been affected,
will stop the wasteful consumption of
fifteen million cubic feet per day,
which viii be rnade available for im-
mediate use this winter for domestic
and public utility purposes.
The operators of these plants have
agreed to manufacture their product
hereafter in either Wyoming or Louis
lana from wells too remote from pop
ulous centers to be available for other
uses. The Fuel Administration has
also effected arrangements for the
manufacture from this gas which will
be saved, five thousand gallons of
gasoline daily which has heretofore
gone to waste.
Appeals have been made to the
Fuel Administration by representa-
tives of numerous communities which
obtain their supply of natural gas
from the West Virginia fields. to cur
tail the use of natural gas in certain
lines OF industry. The demands for
natural gas throughout the country
are greater than the available supply.
The use Of natural gas is a privilege
enjoyed by about 10 per cent of our
population. When present supplies
are exhausted the users of natural
gas must return to the more expen-
sive manufactured gas.
The Fuel Administration takes the
position that where natural gas is
available for domestic and industrial
purposes its Unrestricted use in tho
manufacture Of carbon black is q
wasteful practice.
Carbon black" is term applied to
material deposited by the actual
contract Of flame upon q metallic
surface. Carbon black is now made
by the wasteful process OF incomplete
combustion Of natural gas-that is,
the gas is simply burned in the open,
the flame infringing against metal
plate making the deposit known as
carbon black. From / Is to 1 1-2
pounds ofcarbon black are made from
each thousand cubic feet Of gas burn
ed The heat contained in the gas
is wasted, and only a small portion
OF the carbon content of the gas Is
utilized.
In the state of Ohio alone there are
about 100000 consumers of natural
gas from West Virginia; Pennsylvan-
IA gets AZ per cent Of the natural gas
it uses from West Virginia which also
supplies gas used in Maryland.

JUDGED BY SKILL AT POKER
Business Man Estimated Another's
Qualifications by His Actlons
at the Gard Table.

After ALL there is something to be
learned from cards, even IL the aver
age gambler, who plays for the pas
sion of the game and for the money he
expects, does not always learn It "A
Los Angeles business man recently
asked an acquaintance, What do you
think about Smith? Do you think he
would be a good man to take into our
firm?" His friend looked him straight
in the eye and replied, Eyes, l think
he'd be a f1rst-class man to tie to and
I'll tell you why. l played poker with
him last night and l discovered that he
plays safe. He is what religious
minded people call good what eau
tious, conservative people call WISE
and what the world in general, espe-
cially the bold ones, call a coward
but a man whom nearly every one Sc
cretly respects, envies and almost
fears. He never takes a chance. He
doesn't gamble. When he bets on
hand he's got the cards. When he
doesn't get the cards he lays his hand
down with smile and waits until
they come to him. and then he plays
'em to the limit Yes, l think he's
safe, all right. He could play with my
money at a card table or In the field

It's All Over but the Saving.

The war is over. The war Is won.
The great Victory Liberty Loan is over.
We've seen parades, we've heard
bands. We've had speeches and meet
ings and celebrations. But there are
still some more boys to be brought back
from overseas. There are still some
debts to be paid for this glorious vic
tory.
We are getting off pretty cheap! We
don't have to pay war indemnity!
We merely have to lend our money for
a war which we won! Isn't 1t rather
easy after all? Let's hurry and help,
Let's help regularly, steadily too.
Let's buy all the w. S. S. we can and
do our part as we think and rejoice
over the victory. Let's not only cheer.
Let's buy War Savings Stamps and fin
ish up Uncle Sans fine job
And while our money is being loaned
to as strong a government as the most
exacting would want to find it's add
ing compound interest for us too
Pretty nice. eh?7-Mary Graham Bon
