Of British passport laws, but did say

extradition OF the draft evader would
be possible.
1t was said that the state depart
ment had made no request Of the Brit

ing Bergdoll to Justice. Bergdoll es-
capped into Germany by obtaining a
passport In Canada. Under the Brit
ish law, Justification of a passport Is
felony punishable by Imprisonment,
and in diplomatic circles the opinion
was advanced that the British gov
eminent could demand that the Ger

for trial. Doubt was expressed
whether he could be returned to the
United States by British authorities.

Much of our natural gas in this
country is wasted because the wells
are too far from Industrial centers or
their output too small. This is par
ticularly the case in Louisiana, Texas,
Wyoming and parts of California
The United States bureau of mines
has been studying the possibilities of
utilizing this waste gas for the pro.
iuetion of chloroform and other chem
cals of value. such as carbon tetra-
chloride and methy1 chloride. The con-
clusions drawn are highly favorable.
Use of the gas for these products
would be restricted to "dry" gases,
which are of no value for yielding
gasoline For the the latter purpose
"wet" gases from wells in isolated
places are profitabIy available.

present 1t to Antony as surprise at

in mode of feminine fckleness, and
had it in her reticule at Actium, and
through the power of that talisman
