AMENDMENT

rage Ou6.D
of oil used in gas manufacture are
concerned.
Southwestern railroads which are,
for the most part, oil burning, have
viewed with dismay the action of the
ways and means committee in placing
a duty on fuel oil. These roads, ac-
cording to Interstate Commerce COM
mission reports, consumed $4,000. 900
barrels of oil as locomotive fuel in
1920. They anticipate that an eX-
penditures of approximately $4,000, 600
will be imposed upon them within one
year If the oil tariff as proposed in
the Fordney bill becomes effective.
Hard on Railroads
1t is said that there is. not sufficient
fuel oil produced from domestic crude
available to the railroads IN the south
west to supply those roads with fuel
and the restriction of imports from
Mexico. which, it is said. would un
doubtedly result from the duty pro.
posed. would compel the southwestern
railroads to return to the use of coal
as locomotive fuel. This, it is con
tended, would involve an immediate
expenditure of approximately $35,
600, 900
Inasmuch as crude oil is in general
use throughout the country for road
building and maintenance, road build
ers, state highway officials and auto
mobile organizations are maintaining
a steady drum-fire of protest against
placing that commodity on the duti
able list.
Ask Asphalt Free
An effort is also to be made to re
move asphalt from the dutiable lis
and restore it to the free list. There
is also a general demand for such &C
ton, and the amendment is expected
, to prevail.
Asphalt probably is the most popu
! lar of all materials used for stree
paving and practically all the asphal
used is imported 1t is also general,
used for roofing purposes. 1t is stated
| that during 1920 the total shipment!
of asphalt for roofing purposes wer'
equivalent to 2,S37,500 square feet
With an average of 1000 square fee
per dwelling these shipments wer
equivalent to roofing material TO
more than 100000 homes.
Building interests point to the fac
that building costs have been exceS
sivo for several years and assert tina
tho American people are in no hume
to have these costs increased, whicl
would result, it is stated.in the even
the asphalt duty prevails.
More than 60 per cent of all hig
grade city pavements in the Unite
States are of asphalt, and more tina
80 per cent of the asphalt used cas-
of the Rocky mountains is derive
from Mexican petroleum.

CARPENTER TO SEEK
BOUT WITH DEMPSEY
tBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, July 16.-Notwltn
standing his defeat by Jack Dempsey
in Jersey City on July 2, Georges Car
pentier, it is reported in boxing cir
cles here, will ask a return match for
the championship, believing that by
adopting an open style of battle, he
may be able to win.
In a statement made at his train
ing camp after the Jersey City match
Carpenter said he would fight any
man in the world, except Dempsey,
but his closest friends now say that he
has changed his mind. Georges dis
obeyed the orders of his advisers and
forced the fight with the champion,
and therein it is claimed he made his
biggest mistake.
Should Georges again be matched
with Dempsey and the bout held in
New York where the boxing rules per-
nit ten rounds 10 a decision, he might
win the championship by outpointin3
Dempsey Carpenters friends be-
-slieve that he is clever enough TO box
dempsey and stay away from him
for Is rounds.

VINEGAR LABELLING
WILL Be DISCUSSED
fRy Associated Pres.l

WASHINGTON, d. c., July ia
hearing to discuss the labelling OF
vinegar will be held at the Office of
the secretary Of agriculture, Wednes-
day, Aug. II. at 10 O'clock.
The purpose of the hearing is to
determine whether vinegar which is
made from pure apple cider, should be
differentiated from vinegar made from
dried apple cores, skins, and other
dried apple products. and. IL such
difference must be shown in the label.
and to determine how the labels must
be worded.
Vinegar made from dried apple pro-
ducts is usually treated with barium
salts, poison, to remove the sulphur
used in treating the apple products.
Such barium salt treatment makes it
difficult to distinguish dried apple pro-
duct vinegar, from pure apple cider
vinegar.

DAVE TOO GOOD.

Dave Davenport, formerly ST. Louis
pitcher, was released by the Ogden
team of the Northern Utah league
Friday because other league teams
contended that he was too good for
the league. Davenport pitched seven
full games and won all for Ogden. He
pitched one no-hit game, one one-hit
game and one three-hit game. His
strikeout record averaged 16 men to
a game.

Keller 1t is claimed that Tobin,
like Keller, can place the ball where
he hits it. While recently discussing
the leading batters in the American
league and their weaknesses at bat.
Jim Bagby, the Cleveland pitcher,
said:
pithers all guessing all the time. He
seldom fails to cross US. If we play
him for bunt, he hits out. If we
figure he is going to swing, he lays it
down. If the players shift right field
for him, he hits the ball to the left.
think he is the hardest man in the
American league to outguess."
Tobin's forty-six extra base hits last
season demonstrated he can hit the
ball with vigor. The fact that he
made 202 hits in 1920, being excelled
by only seven other gatsmen in the
American league, is convincing proof
that he hits consistently. His batting
average was $40.
