PRICE OF GASOLINE

The Standard Oil Company New
Jersey has announced that on Octo-
Der 18th, in the State Of South Caro-
line only, a decrease Of ! cent per
gallon in the price Of gasoline will be
effective.
This step is made possible by the
recent adoption Of United States gov
eminent specifications for motor gaso-
line to supersede the specifications
previously enforced by the State Of
South Carolina. B. F. Harris, Com
missioner of Agriculture, adopted the
government specifications upon the
recommendations of DR.. A. c. Sum-
mers, State Chemist.
The new specifications for motor
fuel are those now used by the War
and Navy departments and approved
by the Bureau of Mines and the Bu-
reau of Standards and are recognized
as standard by all government depart
ments.
DR.. Summers was pioneer in the
framing Of motor fuel specifications
for use in the various States. His
recommendation to Commissioner
Harris followed years spent in study
ing the caroline question in this
State.
The new specifications, in addition
to making possible an immediate re-
duction in the price through simplifi-
cation of refining processes, will also
insure a high grade Of gasoline for
motor use and encourage steps to-
ward further conservation Of motor
fuel by other States.

Subject to Correction.

There's a lawyer in my town" !"
says member Of the Chicago bar,
"who is sometimes forgetful, but
never at loss to right himself.
"Once he had been engaged to
plead the cause Of an offender and he
absent-mindedly began thus:
81 know the prisoner at the bar
and he bears the character of being
a most consummate and impudent
scoundrel.'
"At this point some one whispered
to him that the prisoner was his
client, when he Immediately con-
tinued:
but what great and good man
ever lived who was not illuminated
by many of his contemporaries?'"
