GASOLINE OUTPUT
SHOWS. INCREASE
Gain of 13 P. C. Over 1919 Is
Offset, However, by Larger
Domestic Consumption.

The production Of gasoline during
the first six months this year was 13
per cent larger than the FIRST six
months of 1919. according to a
Bureau OF Mines statement today.
However. the domestic consumption
for the first half Of 1920 was 2s per
cent greater than for the correspond
ing period Of 1919. while the total
consumption, including exports, was
approximately 80 per cent more. The
available stock, therefore. according
to the report, is being drawn upon
to make up the difference between
production and consumption.
although stocks reached a higher
total in 1920" declared the report, "the
seasonal decline began in May. or two
months earlier than in 1919"
1t was pointed out that as COM
sumption is lowest in winter. stocks
usually build up from October until
the end Of June and decline from
June to October. "A continuation of
this rate of consumption" the report
added. would bring the stocks to less
than a months production at the end
of July (the report is based on sta
tistics up to the end Of June), a con-
dition similar to that existing in the
year 1918"
The report showed an increase in
kerosene production, with a decrease
in consumption. with stocks remain
ing about the same. Bunker oil load
ed on vessels engaged in foreign
trade was more than 100 per cent
greater this year than over the first
balf of 1919.
During June, this year, 307 refin
cries, with daily capacity Of 1,601,-
295 barrels of crude petroleum, were
operating, as against 292. renneries
with a capacity of 1,163,536 barrels
in 1919.

ment may reach $2J0,000,000. In other
words. 1t will be necessary to plan
for construction at the rate Of at least
Sl0O,000,00O and probably more per
year. Some appreciation of what that
means may be CLEANED from the fact
that in 1915 the expenditure for all
roads In the United States, construct
ed under state supervision, was only
SS0,OOO.OOO.
"Since 1915, however, state highway
departments have been greatly expand
ed, and efficient machinery has been
developed which will undoubtedly be
able I o handle the greater volume Of
work.
THE states have had four years In
which to prepare for the expenditure
of the large funds which now become
available. They expect to be able to
handle them. What Is OF greater con
ccrn to them at this time Is the con-
dition which may result II federal ap-
preparations are permitted to lapse.
The highway departments should know
at least a year In advance what funds
are to be available In order that plans
may be made for future construction.
Unless, therefore, further federal ac-
ton is taken In the coming year, the
states will be left in doubt as TO the
future policy OF the government, and
the amount Of money they must be
prepared to expend. Such a contingent
cy would involve a serious setback to
the progress of road construction, and
should be avoided by early congress
slonal action"

Truth 10 That the Hours Of SIumber

Sleep, at the right time, Is n Of

Ledger.
1t Is a solemn thing to think about,
that if we average eight hours of every
twenty-four in slumber we are In the
Land Of Nod for a third of our whole
term on earth. At this rate the man
who lives to the age of 90 has spent
twenty years in bed.
1t has made SON active spirits irate
against nature and the established
order that they should have to spend
SO much time unconscious and unpro-
ductiye; the idleness has irked them /;
and burning the candle at both ends
they have generally paid for 1t. The
rule Is that we rest not that We may
form habits of sloth and self-indul-
gence, but that we may find recreation
and r~ecuperation for the day that fol-
lows night-the day that tests our met
tie, and urges to e%ndeavor. Sleep Is
supposed to send us back into the fray

Mark Twain and Robert Louis Stew

Making Rust Joint Is Another Excel
lent Way to Close Up Fissure-

As n result of nm unexpected cold
snap, a water jacket may crack, due 70
n very slight freeze. If the crack Is of
some length It may he repaired 10y the
following method, according to the
technical editor of American Motor
list:
ON the line of the fracture, drill ana
tap for a three-eighth-inch threaded
copper rod. This rod is screwed IN
firmly to a depth about equal 10 the
thickness Of the metal of the water
iacket. Cut off the copper rod with n
hacksaw, allowing II TO project about
l-32 inch then drill succeeding holes,
each hole being drilled partly into the
previously inserted copper plug, 50
that when all of the plugs are placed
ia the cylinder casting they form a
continuous band of copper along the
line Of fracture. The copper plugs
should now be peened down and
trimmed off flush. The only possible
chance for leakage, after having re-
paired the crack In this manner, Is for
the water to follow the joint between
the metal of the jacket and the cop
ner plugs; but AS the copper o Il are
threaded into the castings, II Is not
likely to occur. Should leakage take
place, n little extra peening Will sur
