Paws to Remove Gasoline.

From It's investigation of the effects
of removing gasoline from natural gas,
the United States bureau Of mines has
concluded that the gas Is not only not
made poorer, but that its consumer is
actually profited by the process. A
gallon OF gasoline burned In the gas Is
worth about ~ cents, hut the con
densation Of the light oil In pipe lines
causes large leakages and lowering OF
pressure-troubles that are mostly
eliminated when the gasoline Is re-
moved. As automobile fuel the eI-
tracted gasoline is worth about 30
cents gallon. the several hundred
million gallons obtained yearly from
this source being priced over ordi'
nary gasoline on account OF the lower
boiling points.
