ure to condense still vapors will ln- crease in the future, because crudes are being handled in the field with more and more care to avoid evapo- ration and will therefore contain much lighter and more volatile frac- tons than at present.
 "Condensation of the vapors form CT by heating crude oil is effected in the refinery by leading vapors through coils of pipe submerged in water. On cooling. most of the vapor become $ liquitied, but a certain amount of vapcr, due to insufficient time for proper cooling or the fact that its condensing point is lower than the temperature of the water, will remain uncondensed Also. certain other fractions will not be condensed, for the reason that their liquefaction points are affected by the presence of ether Hydrocarbons. A small part of this uncondensed vapord is dissolved in the liquid that has condensed.
 Condensation of the vapors coming plished either by passing them through pipes or shells having large surfaces exposed to the air or through coils submerged in water.
 Temperature Of Air Important
 Atmospheric temperature is an important factor in the production of gasoline from uncondensed refinery vapors. It is found that during win ter months. due to more complete condensation of the vapors, the pro duction Of the gas plant will fall off to some extent. An unusual example of this is a certain skimming plant which produces about 5000 gallons of compression gasoline daily through the summer months, but drops to as low as 800 gallons per day in the winter. Ordinarily, the difference is far less, but there is always a ten dency for production to drop in cooler weather.
 The cost of installing recovery plants will necessarily vary, depend

GASOLINE SUPPLY
 MAY SEE INCREASE
Output May Gain 170,9OO,OoO Gallons Through New Process

Washington. June P. - Possibility of increasing the output of gasoline bv 12o,ooo,ooo gallons through more complete condensation of still Vapors at the petroleum refineries, IS sug- sested by the bureau of mines after an investigation by D. B, Dow. the bureaus petroleum engineer.
 MT. Dow estimated that 5o,o0o,0Oo gallons were recovered from uncon- densed still vapors at rehneries in 1921.
 Application of the system to all refneres, would give a possible gaso- line recovery by this method Of lio,- GOO, OnO gallons yearly" the bureau said in statement,
 Careful Calculations
 The calculations of the bureau of mines are based on results obtained in refneries whose general methods are more efficient than those employ ed in the hundreds of smaller skim ming plants that have no recovery systems It is assumed that in the less efficient skimming plants, locat- ed in sections where. the supply or cold water, so essential for condenser use, is scarce, greater recoVerles could be made than in the large re fineries studied This should be es- pecially true of Oklahoma, north Texas and Louisiana skimming plants, where temperatures are high and where cold water is scarce A survey of these plants. it is believed, would show that their losses in uncondensed still vapors would be much higher than in the plants where the studies of the bureau of mines were conduct ed.
 Realized by Some Refiners
 The magnitude of the loss from non- n-condensation of these vapors has been realized only by few retiners, judging from the number of plants that have recovery systems, The thirteen refneries studied by the bureau of mines are obtaining 128.- e51 gallone of gasoline daily from un- condensed still vapors. These plants are situated in the various refining centers, other than the Pacific coast and are running crude representative of all the producing fields east of the Rocky mountains. In addition, sev- era are running Mexican crude. h. formation from California refineries indicates that on account of the smaller gasoline content of the Cali fornia crude, there are no recovery plants of importance in that state. The average recovery of gasoline at the refineries investigated by the bureau of mines amounted to four teenth gallon per barrel of crude oil charged.
 Losses May Increase

TO MEET
WILLARD AND WILLS
BY DAVIS ]. swALsH

NEW YORK, June 23.--(fsN. Sd
Dempsey to pole-axe Willard again,
this time at Michigan City, Ind, on
Labor day; Dempsey and Wills to put
on their black and white debate at
Montreal some time within the year.
This is the good word that goes out
as Jack Kearns, Frank Flournoy and
the worthy Mr.. Riekard went intesex-
ecutive session yesterday on the moot
question of Dempsey's immediate OPP
ponents. 1t comes from man SO
close to Richard that he can reach
INTO the promoters vest pocket with
his elbow
The Montreal site is certain, pro-
vided Kearns and Paddy Mullins,
manager for wills, can reach a <fi-
nancial agreement. This seems en-
tirely possible in view of Kearn's
statement upon arrival here yester-
day.
Il have never had an offer of a
purse for a Dempsey match"
he declared. "If the New York state
athletic commission wants Dempsey to
fight Wills let it produce a promoter
who win make a definite, bona fide
offer, Then see how quickly Demp-
sey will do business"
If the match is made, the choice Of
Montreal is well nigh inevitable. Po-
litical entanglements, it is said, will
keep it far from Jersey City. There
is no stadium in New York, unless
Mr.. Rickard gets out and builds one,
large enough to make the thing =
paying venture. And Michigan City
is not deemed to possess the allure of
the Canadian town.
Now for Willard. That individual
vearns for action against Dempsey
and the champion has no wish to dis
appoint him. Since the bout will
draw more cash customers than the
scheduled push over with Bill Bren-
nan, the latter is said to be out.

II wish l could give you a real OPP
tlmistic story reearding business con.

chairman of the board of directors OF
the Union uacific System, with head
quarters In New York City, on his ar
rival In Salt Lake yesterday morning,
says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Business generally throughout tho

as reflected by railroad traffic. the
rate OF Improvement Is very SLOW /
believe. however. that It will be prac.
tically continuous, though certainly
without any boom, at least until crops

'rhe greatest damper upon business
revival and the greatest menace to the
return OF prosperity in this country is
taxation. l nAn sure people generally
do not realize the seriousness OF this
aspect of the situation. Business is
carried on for profit: men undertake
new enterprises. employ labor and
take the risks, for profit; it is largely
the surplus wealth, of the rich invest
ed in enterprises carried ON by others.
that affords most employment for la
Dor outside OF agriculture.
Income surtaxes which take balf
OF the profit man makes. while ieav-
ing him TO suffer the loss alone. has
taken the heart out OF many OF the
men who have hitherto created the
country's business. A man generally. |
risks hts whole fortune when he en-
cages in business and therefore he has
had notion that he is entitled TO most /
uf the profit. Younger men who h.
hoped BY great energy new enterprise
and initiative TO accumulate a fortune, /
see that possibility dwindling as OK
ccssive surtaxes become a fixed pollcv
of the government.
Then. TOO. the process OF common
sense seem to be reversed In our base
ot taxation. Instead OF a premium on
enterprise and industry by a lower Ia
on earned than invested income inst i
ihe opposite Is the law. A salary or
4 profit made by personal effort is \
axed the maximum rate under tho
provision for surtaxes. while capital
escapes the tax altogether by being in

Railroads are feeling 1t even more

that 1t must ultimately be borne by

the taxes paid for 1921, were S12,5S6,-

was paid to the federal government,
whereas only $2T4, 15S federal taxes
were paid ten years ago; and. of
