and graduated with scientific enable you
to get from engine all the power develop.
In attacking the problem of supplying
gasoline for 80 million people. three main points
were considered
First-Qudlity: The gasoline must function
perfectly to do this nothing short of scientific pre-
cision is sufficient.
Second Quantity: To meet the ever-grow-
ing demands for motor fuel, the yield of gasoline
must be great if the cost is to be kept down.
lhird-Distribution: To make it easy for the
consumer, wherever he may live to secure gallon
or 1000 gallons of gasoline, whenever he may need it.

Low Wages Costly

New York-High wages and in
creased production, rather than low
wages, is urged by George H. Bruins,
in leading article in the Annalist,
financial paper published in this city.
"It is no argument in favor of re-
duction merely to assert that current
rates are 80, 40 or so per cent higher,
as the case may be, than at some
previous time in the history of the in
dustry," he says.
$50 long as living costs remain at
their present level drastic wage cuts
are inadvisable.
Building costs must come down.
This much is indisputable; the means
are to be determined. But low wages,
disproportionate to the cost of living,
have in the past resulted in poor
physique, lowered standards and ideals
of living, limited education and lessen
ed efficiency through diminished vital
ity, causing slack of work and re-
strained production.
Dollars are of value only as me-
dunn of exchange"

Washington-The success of the
farm bloc in the national lawmaking
body has aroused the wrath of Cen
gressman Ansorge, who "shudders to
think what will happen to our repre-
sentative form of democracy" if this
thing continues.
Mr.. Ansorge has introduced bill
which would fine any lawmaker who
affiliates with any sort of bloc. The
bill is intended to reach those who
openly profess their purposes, but it
will not affect the quiet understand
ings that men agree to in the privacy
of exclusive clubs and select social
circles.
Mr.. Ansorge is serving his first
term in congress. He is a lawyer
with offices in Wall street. In his
biography printed in the Congress
sionai Record (Which members them
selves write) it is stated that Mr.. An
serge won prize for oratory and
was active in football during his col
lcge years.
