CHEMISTS MUCH
 CONCERNED FOR FUTURE OF GAS

WASHINGTON, D. c, May 20'- (SpeciaD D-Something, great deal' indeed, has got to be done about the future fuel supply, the petroleum sec ton of the American Chemical so- ciety has decided.
 If automobiles are to continue in common use and their number multi piled; if the aeroplane and other forms of aircraft are to be developed, and if small compact engines are to be widely used in the many ways that they are now being used, earnest eff fort to find a fuel supply must be made.
 The petroleum section of the Amer ican Chemical society, at its meeting in Birmingham, Ala, the first week in April, faced this problem squarely and admitted that the men to tackle this problem are the American chemists.
 Dr. Van H. Manning, former chief of the bureau of mines, now director of research of the American Petro- leum institute, outlined the things that will have to be done. The sec tion agreed that a special research committee to deal with these prob lems should be appointed.
 Dr. w. A. Gruse, secretary of the petroleum section, has just announced the appointment of that committee The men on it are planning to tacke the problems presented, after the pat tern set by the U. S. food administra, tion and other such government agencies during the war, and concen' trate the efforts of experts in this field upon their solution.
 These problems, as seen by the best technical minds of the industry, in clude:
 1. Preparation of rational specifi' cations for petroleum products; these specifications to be based upon ths results of actual research work. More rational volatibility specifications fol gasoline and test for the "oilness' property of lubricants are especial! desirable.
 2. Standardization of analytica methods and apparatus for petroleum products testing and analysis.
 8. Utilization of wider range o1 motor fuels in mobile types of engine! (autos, trucks, tractors, etc.,
 4. More efficient utilization of th'

Eamous Old Trees.

The New York State College of For estry takes exception to the statement attributed to H. G. Wells to the effect that the famous BO tree of Ceylon Is the oldest of living trees. MT. Wells is reported to have said that "in Cey- lon there is tree which is probably the oldest living thing in the world It was planted from a cutting of the Bo tree, the tree under which Buddha had his remarkable spiritual expert ence, and it has been tended with extraordinary care through the cen. turies. Its limbs are supported by pillars. How many more generations of men it may look down upon we can not foretell, but we know how many 1t has already seen come and go. It was planted in 245 B. O."
 While 1t is impossible to tell the age of trees until they have been felled and their rings counted, 1t is quite possible, says the College, that trees as old as any that have been examined still stand in the great Sequoia for ests of California, and that many of them are as old as and older than the famous Bo tree of Ceylon. The Sequoia requires no props and no cod ding by human hands. It reaches a height of $50 feet and circumference of 78 feet, and has remarkable vi taIity.

Good To See Bakeries and candy
 Shops fin Place of Saloon.
 '.The outstanding change in our be- loved country which appealed to me most after our two years sojourn in Syria said Mrs Elizabeth V. Perrine, twas the absence of the ever-present corner. saloon of the old days"
 Since our return we have seen few intoxicated men and no women. It is a great satisfaction to have the odor of beer eliminated as we walk our streets. The buildings formerly oc- cupied by saloons on our most proml- nent thoroughfares have been rented for other purposes bakeries; candy shops, florists, etc.
 But the greatest change for the better, believe, is the moral influence which the abolishing of the liquor traffic will have on our rising genera tion. We trust and hope and pray and vote that there may be no modi- fcation of our present prohibition law"

t1tems from the Womens Christian
 Temperance Union Editor) W. c. T. U. Representatives from
 overseas give impressions of
 Prohibition America.
 One of the first questions asked the visitors and delegates to the Worlds W. 0. T. U. Convention who come from overseas is, What is your impression of the United States under prohibi- ton ?" The answers, as given in in terviews, are unanimous in one res pect-that in marked contrast with non-prohibition countries, virtually no intoxicated persons are to be seen in our cities.
 Looked Like A City That Has Had
 It's Face Washed
 Mary Campbell, Worlds w. c. T. U. organizer and. worker in India under five years commission, in this coun- try for a short furlough, declared she had searched diligently for corrobor- ation of the statements made by the pro-liquor press as to the disastrous effects of prohibition, but failed to | find anything to warrant the untaVor- able assertations. What 1 have said over and over again when asked my | impression of prohibition in the Unit l ed States" said Miss Campbell, '1s that when I first landed in New York | and looked around, comparing it with the last time I had seen 1t, 1t looked to me like a city that had had it's face washed, for I no longer saw all | the old dirty saloons and the liquor advertisements. That was the i'm pression made upon me when I reach ed Chicago, with it's more than 1000 saloons no longer in evidence, and so with all America"
 Ninety-Nine Drunken Men Seen i'll
 Sweden to One in U. s. A.
 You have just come from Sweden where some of the residents claim they have an ideal system of restric- tion or regulation. What do you think of it compared with our national prohibition method?" Mrs, Johnson was asked upon her return to this country,
 There is no comparison" replied Mrs. Johnson. "In Sweden, drinking is taken as a matter of course in so cial intercourse among certain class es of people They claim one canno have a gOod tune without It. NY years visit in Sweden Convinces m that no half way measures will re duce the consumption of liquor"
 ''How about drunkenness as com pared with this country?' was asked There is no comparison" was tn reply. 'T should say that we say ninety-nine drunken men over ther to one in this country. As matter o fact we have seen only one intoxicat ed man since we returned and W have travelled quite a little-that mal was in New York"
 How about drinking on the boa on which you came over?" We sail , ed on the 'Steckholm' of the Swedish = American line,' said Mrs. Johnson "and there was very little drinking ', none at our table. One of the me l told us that the use of liquor on thi line had greatly lessened since Amer /. ica had prohibition.
