Motorists are often heard to
complain about the quality of
gasoline today when considered
in the light of their experiences
with this fuel some years ago.
AS a matter of fact, the gasoline
of today is more powerful, al
though less volatile, than the
gasoline of ten years ago. To
go back to the gasoline of earlier
days would be to accept a less
powerful, but more highly vola-
tile fuel, which would not permit
of as large a production of gas
oline as is possible under pres
ent methods.

WILL THERE BE A
SHORTAGE OF GASOLINE?

During the last year or two
the total production of crude oil
has not increased notably, al
though the demand for gasoline
has continued to grow. It it
quite evident that unless new oil
fields are discovered, the price
of gasoline will probably not be
lower than it is today.
The oil producers, refiners
and automotive engineers are
fully alive to the situation and
are doing everything possible

Surgery on the Screen,

The Carroll -Dakin method Of
wound irrigation, which saved more
lives Of wounded men than all other
treatments put together, will be
shown in detail in Cecil B. De
Miles new picture, For Better. for
Worse" This is the first time this
method of treatment, for the inven-
ton Of which DR.. Garrett was given
the legion of honor, has ever been
shown on the screen or stage.
Although only few scenes Of
this will be used in the picture. Mr..
De Mile insisted on their being abb
solutely accurate, and experts in the
treatment were called in to arrange
details. A set representing French
base hospital was erected, and 20
wounded men, legless, armless and
otherwise crippled, were called in.
The treatment seemed quite,
revolutionary when it was first an,
rlounced, but in the latter part of the
war its great efficacy was discov-:
cred. It consists of an irrigation of
the wounds with q chlorine solution!
keeping them open and free from,
infection. The irrigation is made BY
suspending bottles Of the solution
over the beds.

up the main street Of small mining

not thought wise for her to take
charge Of his team of spirited horses
and so a driver was hidden in the
bed of the wagon, where he handled
the reins. The team plunged around
the corner, all right and galloped
up the street. Lois tugged va1iantly
at the reins, when really it was the
man hidden in the bed Of the wagon
who was guiding the team. As the
horses neared the camera the man,
hidden from sight, pulled on the
wrong rein. Girls, my heart was in

swerved and headed right for 4 big

got wise just in time and pulled back
on the reins. The horses reared, and
Lois life was probably saved.

HOW THE SCANDAL STARTED
Mrs. Dee, Convinced She Had "Hot
Lead" Was Not the One to
Waste Any Time.

Tweedle's literary predictions al
ways irked his practical sister, Mrs.
Dee. So it followed that amity ceased
to dwell between them when he mar
ried wife whose ineessant converse
was of literary celebrities and whose
ecstatic ambition was to meet them
face to face
Now Tweedle and his sister, Mrs.
Dee both were friends of the Diffident
Young Man, who one day received an
invitation to a little party in Green
witch Village, which read facetiously
and in part:
1.-THE Tweedles will be there, but III.
G. Wells will not. If Mrs. Tweedle
mentions him we propose an immedi-
ate and rebuking silence"
Because of that and other scintillat-
ing bits in the note, the Diffident
Young Man showed it to Mrs. Dee. She
read it and her lips compressed and
then she went to the phone.
And if you happen now to be a re-
cipient of the whispered condolences OF
the Tweedle-Dee neighborhood, you'd
hear something like this:
Have you heard-I hate to believe
