new METHOD KEEPS
GAS METERS HONEST
Nehemiah Andrews Has Invention
To Keep Tab On Cor
porations.

= ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 2o-Nehe-
miah Andrews, city clerk OF Pleas
antville, ". j.. is working on a bill
to make the job of reading a gas
meter-and an electric or water
meter, for that matter-so simple
that anyone can do it And ne and
his friends In Pleasantville hope to
fnd enough supporters to persuade
the State legislature to pass the bill
this winter.
Mr.. Andrews proposes that the
meters be made so that after each
reading by the company readers they
may be turned back to zero and
started all over again. He wants 'em
so ST nple that any person who can
count can read en-
Mr.. Andrews says:
"There is no more reason why a
gas meter should keep a continuous
registration than the corner butch
er's scales. What~would customers
think of butcher Who started with
the scales at 23.977 pounds, say, to
weigh the family roast? There
would be a riot. But the very same
principle is employed by the public
service corporations"

DRINKS POISON ON
GOLF LINKS; DIES
Yonkers Woman, elieved q Con.
sumptive, Ends Her Life
in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-A woman,
who was identified after. much diff
Guilty as Miss Mary Connell, Of
Yonkers. swallowed the contents Of q
bottle marked "carbolic acid" near
the golf links Of Van Cortlandt Park
and died before medical assistance
could reach her.
According to Thomas F. Harney, q
park employe, the woman came stag
gering toward him from a bench while
he was on duty near the Gunhit road
and the Van Cortlandt lake. Harney
called Patrolman Frank Niklo. The
patrolman summoned DR.. Drake, of
Fordham Hospital, who pronounced
the woman dead.
On the bench was found q small
bottle labeled "carbolic acid" and a
small sanitary drinking cup. The
bottle bore the label of the Charles
Wurster drug store, Yonkers
In the woman's purse was q pre-
scription for some tablets made out
on blank bearing the name of DR..
Walter Timme. New York.
The purse also contained 81 81 and
a slip OF paper on which was written
"Connell, River Side Inn. Saranac
Lake" Lieutenant Detective Duwaine,
who is working on the case, said this
was a resort for consumptives.

SPECIAL BUREAUI
URGEDF0R alaska
Claim Present Conditions Pro-
hibit Development Of Vast
Natural Resources.

Consolidation of all administrative
and governmental authority anectlns
Alaska in the Department of the IN
terror and the creation of speciai
Alaskan bureau to handle Alaskan
matters, will be pressed at the next
session of Congress by the House
Territories Committee.
At the present time the Depart
ments of the Interior. Agriculture, and
Commerce have jurisdiction, respect
lively, over the public lands, forests,
and waters of Alaska, with the result
there is confusion, conflict and uncer-
tainty-conditions which work against
instead of encouraging the healthy
and proper development Of the
country.
Members OF the House committee,
including its chairman. Congressman
Curry of California, are determined to
present legislation to cut red tape and
break, down departmental barriers
against Alaska's progress, and to re-
peal laws that have proven restrictive
to the legitimate development of the
vast resources of q practically un-
known land.
Trees in Paciac.
One source of irritation is the grip
held by the Forestry Bureau OF the
Department of Agriculture on vasts
forests of soft timber in the panhandle
of Alaska. Under sweeping Execu.
tive order, hundreds of thousands of
acres of timber lands in this section
of Alaska were closed to entry and
converted into q forest reserve.
hrrooroua foafnrA ~ thta he fv
grab after forest lands is that a mis-
take was made in Tire survey, and
about 10000 square miles Of the Pa
ciic ocean, some Of II outside the
three-mile limit, is included in the
forest reserve.
It Is claimed that on this forest re-
serve there is at least sixteen billion
feet Of elder and birch. soft-fibred
trees, admirably adapted to the manu-
facture Of news print paper.
Perpetual Paper Supply.
These trees mature in fifteen or six
teen years in the climate of southern
Alaska, where 1t Is foggy with heavy
rainfails, with few SHOWS or frosts,
and reforestation is going on con-
stantly.
With these forests opened to Amer
lean news print manufacturers, says
Mr.. Curry, there would be q bountiful
supply of print paper for all time.
and the existing condition of shortage
of paper for newspapers and maga-
zines would be removed
While the Forestry Bureau Is sell
ing some of this timber to Australian
purchasers, says Mr.. Curry, conditions
surrounding the granting of conces-
sions to American paper manufa" "tur-
ers have been made prohibitive by the
Forestry Bureau. Within a few years
a Pacific coast paper manufacturing
concern tried to get such a concession
as to justify the erection of q plant
costing several million dollars, but
failed and had to locate In British
Columbia

Meeting the Sugar Famine

1T seems incomprehensible to the average
l person that this country should be suffer
ing from an acute scarcity of sugar at q time
when the new domestic crop Is being placed
on the market, when Europe Is no longer
looking to us for its full supply OF this
product. and the exigencies of war generally
have passed. But there is Il genuine short
age, and II is being felt not merely in Rich
mond and Washington and the East, but2it
is being felt generally throughout the
country.
1t required the probing of no congressional
investigation to establish this fact, but
committee OF the Senate made one OF the
usual Investigations and came to the con-
clusion that action was imperative. That
committee sat for two hours and forthwith
directed its chairman, Senator McNary, to
draft bill giving the government rigid con-
troll of tho entire visible supply of sugar, not
only in the United States, but in Cuba as
we'll.
The Sugar Equalization Board. that func-
toned successfully during the war, not only
as stabilzer of prices but as an equitable
distributor OF the supply, has been given
authority in the McNary bill to extend it's
control over the 1919 crop Of domestic sugar
and TO go into the market for what may
yet remain unpurchased OF the Cuban CROP.
Also that board is empowered to contract
with the reiners in this country upon price
at which sugar is to be sold, wholesale, there
by giving the government full control over
the sugar market.
This bill should be passed with as little
delay as possible. In fact, there should have
been no occasion for its introduction. Under
the food control act the President has the
power to extend the authority of the Euuali-
cation Board to the new crop. He was ear
nestly urged to. do this in a communication
from the board in August, request which
was repeated in September, but for some
reason not explained he never has acted
Meantime, the famine is spreading and be-
coming more severe. 1t is officially explained
mat there is plenty OF raw sugar in Cuba to
meet all domestic demands, but that the
capacity OF the refneries is limited and
through lack OF the raw product during the
marine strikes early in the summer, the re-
liners fell far behind the domestic REQUIRE
ments But such assurances as this bring no
relief They do not increase the grocery
mans supply OF sugar. nor I'LL the house
wife's sugar bowl.
1t is explained in some quarters that the
BRUSH nave come into the American sugar
market and through heavy buying have pro-
yucca shortage here. This is officially de-
hico. The British Royal Commission con-
tracted Tor one-third OF the Cuban crop 4
year ago and that third Is being shipped ia
England, as demanded, but no sugar which
was destined for American consumption is
being exported. An embargo against all
such expectations was laid by the Eaualiza-
ton Board on July l.
