GAS TANK RISES FROM GRAVE.
Strange Occurrence Is Reported at
Spur Filling Station.

D. H. Spur, owner of a filling sta
ton at 7O9 Jackson street, wants to
know how an SO0-gallon gasoline tank
can lift itself out of the ground dur
ing a rain storm and lie on the top of
the ground, without exploding.
When employees of the Spur station
arrived at work Tuesday morning,
they found the big tank on top of the
ground, with apparently no reason for
its resurrection from the earthly rest
ing place. The tank remained intact,
even the feed pipes were not broken,
and more than 100 gallons of gasoline
was drawn off and saved. The tank
and its contents weighed more than
1000 pounds, not including the
weight of several feet of earth piled
upon the tank while in the ground.
The tank is now back at it's "old
stand -

WHOLE WHEAT

ADELAIDE, Australia, Nov., 27- Dr. Hargraves, a distinguishes Aus tralian chemist, declared at a confer ence of master bakers here that the nations which eat white bread were getting close to the border line of neu- ritis. He advocated brown bread, say ing that modern science demanded that wheat should be milled whole.
 He said that, undoubtedly, campa- igns in favor of whole meal bread will be shortly launched in the United States and England, and it behooved Australia to take prompt action.
 The members. of the conference agreed with the doctors observations, but said that Australians, with the ex- ception of cranks and dyspeptics, re- fused to eat brown bread.

SEVERE STORM

SEATTLE, Wash. Nov, N- The Radio station as Northhead, Washing ton sent message today for aid for the barge Pierfe which was believed to have been ashore on James Island south of Gale Flattery. When the rev. enue cutter Snohomish reached the scene after an eleven hour dash she re- ported that no trace of the barge could be found. There were twenty persons including the wife and baby of Master Jensen aboard the Pierre which cut loose from the towing schooner Santrita yesterday. An ef. fort is beingmade to save both ships. There is 8 slim possibility that both may be safe but the general belief is that the Pierre may be out to sea.
 Weather Bureau buildings at Ia toosh were damaged by the gale.
 The Umatilla Reef ligftship, thirty miles south of Cape Fhstery broke adrift and made Puget Sound under its own steam after a. battle with the waves and wigd. The wind at Tatoosh reached velocity ofx95 miles per hour the heaviest ever recorded by the weather bureau. The wind at Seattle blew 60 miles at Tacoma 42. North
 cad. it reached 6l.: The storm left the coast this morning passing inland.
 SEATTLE, Wash. Nov, e7- The crippled telephone and telegraph eom- munications in Western Washington are being restored with the subsi- dence of the gale.

 Much of the early work of the ses- sion will be devoted to organization. the appointment of committees being one of the most trouble, some items. The likelihood is that some 12 or It committees will be formed,' and tha, he various items on the agenda will be divided into related groups and dis. sributed among those committees.
 Among the duties of the Assemb' " will be the final and formal estab' ishment of number of permanent subordinate organizations like the Court of International Justice, the Health Organization, the Commission on Communications and Transit, and he special tribunal that is to deal with all disputes connected with inter- .,ational communications.
 Incidentally certain questions will ce considered concerning the relation s;,;p between. the Council and th As sembly as we'll as between tho,: E.d es and the various |. hai:a rrganiza- lions created by them.
 Other important subjects to come before the Assembly will be acton cn ;he recommendations of the recen: in- ;ernational Financial Conference at brussels; formulation of policy and methods for the employment of the Leagues weapon, the economic boy colt; and preparations for concerted action looking toward the suppression ,f all traffic in women and children. Other questions of equal importance nay be preached, as the Assembly is ,hsolute master of its own procedure and can vote leave to advance an en- sirely new proposition at 48 hours no- tice. ..
 Subjects to come before the Assem-. ply at the instance of individual mem. ber-nations are several proposed amendments to the covenant, some O. which aim at improving the position of the smaller nations within the Lea. que, while one submitted by Holland deals with the covenant provision flo. suppression of the opium traffic in tn. Far East.
 It is of course, impossible to fore tell how long the session will last, bu information received from reliable sources indicates three or four weeks.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT

LONDON, Nov, 27- By reason of the tempest stirred up as the result oi overtures by Oxford professors to German and Austrian educators to join them in burying the hatchet and return to previous ar,icable relations, the text of the appeal is attracting widespread interest.
 The Times denounced the letter urging resumption of friendly rela- tions between German, Austrian and British educators as "ill-advised anG inopportune," and called the Oxford men to account for failing to disting;; uish between animositieS created in England> by the sinking of hospital ships and bombing of open cities, or the one hand, and the black passions of the wretches who perpetuated those crimes"
 The text of the Oxford letter fol- lows:
 gro the Professors of the Arts and Sciences and to members of the Uni versailles and learned societies in Ger many and Austria.
 "Since there will be many of you who fully share our heartfelt sorrow and regret for the breach that the wal has occasioned in our friendly inter- course, and since you cannot doubt the sincerity of the feeling which engend- cred and cherished that old friendli- ness you must, we believe, be sharing our hope for it's speedy reestablish- ment.
 "We therefore, the undersigned doctors, heads of houses, professors and other officers and teachers in the University of Oxford, now personally approach you with the desire to dispel the embitterment of animosities that under the impulse of loyal patriotism may have passed between us.
 "In the field where our aims are one, our enthusiasms the same, our rivalry and ambition generous, we can surely look to be reconciled and the fellowship of learning offers a road which may and if our spiritual ide- als be alive must lead to a wider sympathy and better understanding between our kindred nations.
 "While political dissensions are threatening to extinguish the honor, able comity of the great European states, we pray that we may help to hasten that amicable reunion whicL civilization demands. Impetret ratio quod dies impetratura est"
 Ffty-seven signatures are append ed to the letter, including those of w. G. s. Adams, professor of Political Theory and Institutions; Sir Hugh AL len, director of the Royal college of Music; Rev. G. A. Cooke, Regius pro- lessor of Hebrew; Sir Arthur Evans, professor, of Prehistoric Archaeology; Rev. A. C. Headlsm, kegius professor of Divinity; J. A.
