Twcnty-fic miners are known to
have been killed in the explosion at
the Gates mine Of the II. G.. Frick
Coal and Coke Company, at Gates,
Ia, ON the End inst, and there is a
possibility that the number of dead
may reach 26. Thirty men were
working in the section where the
explosion occurred, four of whom
escaped. The cause of the explosion
which occurred a mile and. half
back IN the workings Of the plant,
mas not been determined, Us all
work has been bent toward rescue
work and recovering bodies of the
miners. From the appearance Of
the bodies when found, it was indi-
Gated that death had been caused
by asphyxiation. In many cases the
bodies were covered by slate and
coal falls.

GASOLINE CONSUMPTION.

Consumption of gasoline in the
United States during the year 1921
amounted TO 5.079, ,438, 900 gallons. a
record total. In The previous year,
consumption amounted to 1886, 900,
600 gallons, which was 81 per cent
greater than any preceding year.
Statisticians of The Pure Oil
Company have found that the trc-
mendous growth in consumption of
gasoline parallels the increase in
motor car licenses by States and the
figures indicate that more than 80
per cent of the gasoline produced
is used for automotivc transporta
ton. Withoyer nine million motor
cars and trucks in service through,
out the country, the supply of this
commodity represents an evolution
in the development of marketing
that is rivalcd only by the milkman.

GATHERS DATA
TO IMPROVE FRUIT BEVERAGES

The quality of fruit beverages has
been improved and the standards
raised as a result of data gathered by
the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture, in
its research work on fruit juices and
carbOnated beverages. The industry,
it is said, may be extended through
the more general use Of these data
Nearly every ingredient used by bot
tiers has been studied by the bu-
reau-sugar, acid, water, flavors, and
fruit juices. Methods have been de-
vised for detecting genuine and imita-
tion flavors. Satisfactory formulas
for preparing a number of them have
been developed 1t has been found
that by replacing One-half the sugar
with honey, sirup manufacturers can
improve the quality of such soft drinks
as root beer, sarsaparilla, and choco-
late at an increased cost of approx
mately 0.3 cent a half-pint bottle,
with no decrease in food value. since
the cleaness and palatibility of the
beverage depends largely on the
water used, the chemical composition
of 70 city water supplies in the Unit
ed States has been ascertained.

NO RAILWAY POSTAL CLERK
EXAMINATION

Civil Service Commission warns
against misleading advertising.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. Is, 1922
The United States Civil Service
Commission stated today that there
have been brought to its attention
numerous misleading advertising cir
culars and newspaper advertisements
of certain so-called civil service
schools.
In these circulars and advertise
ments, information is given that a
railway postal clerk examination is
soon to be held The Commission
states that no such examination has
been announced and that it is not
known at this time when is will be
necessary to hold an examination of
the kind. When one is to be held
it will be duly announced.
Many of these so-called civil service
schools, said the Commission, recruit
considerable part of their clientle
among young people of limited educa-
tion in rural communities, who fall
easy victims to alluring statements
regarding railway postal clerk and
other positions in the Government SER
vice and eXtravagant claims as to the
advantages of training with the So
called schools.
The Commission points out that de-
finite and authentic information re-
garding pending examinations may
local representatives or by writing
always be obtained from any. of its
local representatives or by writing
direct tO tbe office of the Commission
at Washington, D. c. The Commis-
sion has a representative at the post
office or customhouse in each of ap-
proximately $500 cities throughoutthe
country.

AMERICANS EATING LESS MEAT:
NUMBER OF ANIMALS DECLINES

Figures and charts on the meat in
dustry of the United States showing
that the consumption of meat is de-
creasing are given in an exhibit, en-
titled Livestock Statistics" by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture at the International Livestock
Exposition at Chicago, December 2
to 9.
These statistics show that the Unit
ed States, while still among the prin-
cipal meat-eating nations of the world,
is undergoing a general decline both
in per capita consumption of meat and
in the number of food animals in pro-
portion to the population. This situa-
ton is illustrated Strikingly by chart
of the trend of human livestock po-
pulation in the United States from
1850 to 1922. Among live stock the
number of swine is the most variable,
and sheep show the greatest general
decline. The relative positions of the
curves in this chart at the present
time indicate that the nation will pro-
badly experience increasing difficulty
in supplying it's ever-increasing popu-
lation with sufficient products, and
at the same time providing a surplus
of these products for export.
The principal meat-eating nations
of the world, in order of per capita
consumption, are Argentina Austria
lia and New Zealand, with the United
States fourth.
