How The Shale is Handled
Continued from last week. }

ed that it was possible to reduce
nearly every substance to gases.
This is particularly true of some
of the elements left in the shale
deposit during the Devonan Age
and the action or application of
Heat is necessary to vaporiZe the
Carbon and to release the Hydro.
gen and Nitrogen. The Potash
elements is not easily vOlatilized,
so 1t is obtained by a Leaching
process as will be explained later.
The retorts used for this heat
application, consists if immense
Fire Clay tubes through which
the Shale is passed while the
heat is applied to the outside of
the tubes.
The concrete foundation which
you are familiar with on the
property of The Devon Oil Shale
Products Company forms the
support for Eight Of these retorts
and the retOrts themselves are
built up of ten sections each Of
the immense tiles piled near the
foundation. The Eight square
holes made by the embedding of
the steel | beams in the concrete,
contain eight heavy funnel shap-
ed castings and upon these cast.
ings the retorts are built up.
These eight retOrts are .hen en-.
closed in a solid rectangular
brick wall which rests on the
cOncI ete and the white Silica Tile
which is stacked near the retOrt
sections extends from the bell of
each section to the brick wall
forming Silica floor at each
section top, through which all
eight of the retOrts extend to
the top. Above this retorting
section are the magazines and
bunkers from which the Shale is
fed continuously into the retorts
proper, and the spent or treated
b a e is continually removed
from the bottom of the retorts,
by a set Of spiral screws which
ale mounted IN the funnel shap.
ed castings already mentioned.
The lower ends to these tunnels
dip into water seal, which re.
tainS the gases in the retorts and
forces them out of the upper end
to the cOndensers.
The shale is first blasted loose
from the cliff that is now opened
up on the hill side near the river
and being picked up In a steam
shovel is dumped into caA and
hauled TO the crushers where it
is broken up into small pieces
about the size Of black walnuts.
Then tits carried in a conveyor
to the top of the retorts where
the bunkers. magazines and re-
torts are completely filled. Gas
is then admitted through five
openings ip the rear end of the
rectangular brick building which
contains the retOrts, and by
reason for the Silica floors or
battle plates is forced clear across
the whole unit and comes in
contact with each retort equally.
This gas is at first manufactured
in a Gas Producer, but as soon
as the ret0rts get hot enough
they furnish more than enough
gas from the shale being treated,
to give sufficient power for plant
operation as we'll as for the re.
torting.

term.
"At the present time the list of approved
places contains about 300 names and ad-
dresses, with a total facility for accommo-
dating in the neighborhood Of 5000 students
The Cost to Students
1.-THE price charges differ, as is to be
expected. with the neighborhood of the resi-
dence and the accommodations offered. They
range from $3.50 n week for a single room
and $3.50 for meals up the scale as far as
desired, some of them being considerably
beyond the means Of the average student.
But. as the matriCulation list Of the Uni
versity is made up of young persons Of all
classes and of all conditions, we must suit
every taste and every purse.
but we are glad to note one circumstance
we'll worth noting-the prices are unqucs-
is an average reduction of about 20 per cent,
and while rates are by no means down to the
pre-war level, they are sufficiently lower to
cause rejoicing among the students.
I'VE have also separate list for the
instructors. many of whom are single or who
prefer to board during the term instead ot
maintaining a separate home for themselves.
Indeed, with the scarcity Of houses and
apartments which has prevailed since the
beginning of the war, this latter contingency
would be difficult one to bring about, even
If all the instructors so desired
The reason of having a separate ilat for
the instructors of places where they may
live during the term is obvious. Maturcd in
structors naturally desire different environ
ment from that wished for by the students
and 1t has been our object as far as possible
to meet this requirement.
Restaurants Not Exempt
'"The restaurants in which the students
take their meals are subjected to tic same
scrutiny as the rooming houses. the idea cf
this being not only to recommend p.accs
where wholesome food is served. but also
to see that the surroundings are sa"h as
parents may approve. There are many res
taurants near the University which derive
most Of their patronage from Tie students
and it Is our desire to encourage the best
of these with our approval.
"Practcally every detail Of the restaurant
is examined before our approval is given, as
this, like the matter of the rooms, Is thing
to which we feel that too much and too
careful attention cannot be given.
''As a whole, our plan has worked out ex-
ceedingly we'll 1t has required n Let Of
hard work. but the objects in view have been

seen in the general excellence of the health
and the mental and spiritual condition of

WARNINGS FOR PHILADELPHIA

THE margin by which Philadelphia has
i escaped disasters similar in origin to
the Chester bridge catastrophe is not so deep
as we'll nor so wide as church door, but
1t has served, possibly because certain
amount of heed has been paid to outside
warnings.
The burning of the Iroquois Theatre in
Chicago led to a very necessary Tightening
Of fire regulations in the playhouses through
out the country. The responsibilities of
the situation were az last realized in Phila-
delphia, with the result that danger of
overcrowding in the aises has become a
thing of the past.
It was. of course, mere chance that the
lesson came before the fruits of reckless
ness were manifested in this favored city.
Once again this community profits by
tragedy beyond its boundaries. Mayor
Moore has ordered, through Director Caven,
q thorough and immediate special inspection
Of all the bridges within the city limits.
The crippled structure over the Schuylkill
at South street is one which deserves par
ticular attention. new bridge is promised
IN the near future. Large funds are on
hand for its construction. and 1t was ex-
pected that ere this the actual work would
be begun.
Meanwhile, however, n reckoning should
be made with perilous possibilities at South
street. At the present time one trolley car
only is permitted to occupy the draw, and
restrictions on the load and on truck traffic
are enforced.
These regulations plainly imply lack of
official confidence in the structure. 1t is
not enough to encounter its questionable
condition with forecasts of a substitute. The
new bridge is Of the future.
II the inspectors should express doubts
concerning the present state of the obviously
decrepit bridge 1t should be closed for traffic.
Rational vigilance will justify such a
ruling. lncOnvenirnccs are of minor i'm =

BLIND LEADERS OF BLIND

LIVERY man of science, every student In
~ school and even every politician who
is worth his salt will sit down. before ac-
cepting n theory, to inquire into it's ulti-
mate consequences and its possible effects
in realistic application to life.
So it is not possible justly to assess Ku
kluNism without first trying to imagine
what the country would be like if the Grand
Wizard and his Kleagles and COLLINS actually
were to achieve the power that they seek.
What would life be like in the United States
if secret council of masked men were to
substitute their prejudices for constitu-
tional guarantees and mob action for the
authority Of the President, the Congress and
the courts?
First If we accept the evidence Of printed
documents which reflect the purposes of Ku
kluxism, it would be necessary to drive
every Catholic unceremoniously out of the
army and the navy ana similarly to oust
every Jew, every Negro and every son of
foreign born parents. 1t was estimated by
War Department officials that 80 per cent
of the army organized for the fight against
Germany was Catholic. Similarly it is
estimated that half of the naval personnel
and more than half of the membership of
the Marine Corps are Catholic. More than
200. 900 Jews were in the army. and a Jew
was one of the first Of the younger soldiers
to win the Congressional Medal Of Honor
for distinguished valor in the field.
To feather the nest and expand the alb
normal egoism of an ilitcrate agitator, to
fatten paid organizers and publicity men,
we should have to cut the army and navy
in halves and surrender TO q cult of masked
fanatics every decent principle of human
relationship established since the earliest
days of white civilization.

UNDERWOOD POINTS TRUE

OSCAR w. UNDERWOOD'S announce
~ ment that he will accept the invitation
to serve as one of the four American dele
gates in the Disarmament Conference is
accompanied by the wholesome observation
that there should not be and cannot be any
party politics at the parley.
AS the Senator from Alabama is a con-
spicuous figure in a minority party which.
no matter what the label, is invariably under
the severest temptation to play the ques-
tonable card of factionalism, his remark is
particularly reassuring.
The policy of obstructing Administration
programs. regardless of their merits, is as
common in the American political scene as
it Is short sighted. The history of the
League of Nations controversy Is typical.
A repetition Of the tactics characterizing
consideration of that subject would be al
most enough to shatter the faith of the
American public in the operation of
democracy.
Mr.. Underwood's Interpretation Of the
responsibilities of his new role has special
virtue of timeliness. The behavior Of Mr..
Linthicum, publicity man for the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and of certain
indefatigably partisan newspapers has be-
tokened an attempt to disCredt the dis
armament meeting before It attains reality.
1t is not too late, however, to prove that
these reprehensible efforts were abortive and
not fairly representative of the Democratic
Party, one of whose unquestioned spokes-
men is Mr.. Underwood. This leader of the
Senate minority, if he persists in his pres
ent commendable course, can set his party
right.
The Nation is not interested In the COM
ing parley from the partisan aspect. The
peace problem to be discussed transcends
the Importance of senatorial squabbles, even
of presidential elections.
To a remarkable degree it is the fate of
the world not the fate Of the Democratic
or Republican Party, which hinges on the
conference which happens to be called under
Republican Administration.

LAST CHANCE TO ENROLL

TNHE patience which the election laws of
i Pennsylvania accord to procrastinating
citizens will be withdrawn after tomorrow.
1t cannot be reasonably argued that this
final limit on leniency is inconsiderate.
Opportunity for the electorate to enroll as
voters was formally provided on the three
regular registration days. In addition to
these. however, eleventh hour privileges are
granted delinquents who may be able to
enter the defense of unavoidable circum
stances-illness or enforced absence from
town.
To take care Of the special cases in which
such citizens may be involved the Regis
tration Commissioners sit in the City Hall
today and tomorrow from 80 in the
morning until noon.
Unregistered electors who are sincerely
anxious to preserve their franchise rights
this year are given the chance to present
their excuses. II their defense is consid-
cred adequate they will be permitted to
register, and thus qualify for voting in the
primaries and in the November election
Ordinarily there is no uncomfortable
crowding in Room $50 in the Public Build
ings upon these ultimate days of grace.
Thousands of citizens apparently prefer to
spare themselves both the bother of the
visit and the trouble of voting.
But the most unrpgenerate Stacker can
not fairly claim that the law is harsh. In
this instance toleration of chronic indiffer-
ence can 60 no further without becoming
absurd.
1t is apathy and not severity of regula-
tions which annually causes the enrolment
figures to fall far below the census reports

l ticularly concerning the balances Of
money in connection with the transac-
ton of public business.
WillB. Hadley is chargeable with this
dereliction, to call it by no other name.
On July 81 of last year Council adopted
a resolution calling upon the Commits
sioners of the Sinking Fund to furnish its
members with statement Of its transac-
tions, with full information concerning
sinking fund affairs. A time limit was
fixed at September Z.
After four months a report was sub
mitted.
Published statements had been to the
effect that such a report had been pre-
pared and signed by two of the three
Sinking Fund Commissioners. But Coun-
Gil in the report received gained no clear
information as to balances and unneces-
sary surpluses in the sinking fund.
The reports Of the Commission, as pre-
pared by Controller Hadley at intervals
Of months, are indefinite and unsatisfac-
tory Enough can be CLEANED from them,
however, and it is the unconcealed boast
of the Commissioners, too, that there
have been at times 20 per cent more
money in the sinking fund than was re-
quired to meet the city's accruing debts.
Do the taxpayers of Philadelphia un-
derstand just what this means?
The money thus segregated-and for
what purpose has never been disclosed
means that the taxpayer is being taxed
annually for more money than the city
requires.
1t is estimated that If of the s4S,000,-
600, approximately now in the hands Of
the Sinking Fund Commission the ex-
cess beyond the amount needed to retire
the city's bonds were turned into the
general fund, thus reducing appropria-
tions by that amount, the tax rate would
be materially reduced
The question at issue in the election Of
a City Controller is not one of factional
politics, but Of finance.
1t affects the pocketbook Of every tax
payer, whether he be the owner Of sky
scraper or the owner Of modest home
on side street.
1t is not a problem of factional politi-
cal sentiment, but of dollars and cents.
