Bureau of Mines Plans to Further
Condense Still VaporS at
RefinerieS.
WILL Save VAST QUANTITY
Maqnitude of Loss Through Previous
Neglect Not Generally Known
Survey Of Plants Reveals
Interesting Facts.

Washington.-Poss Of increas-
ing gasoline by 120,000,000 gallons
through more complete condensation
of still vapors at the petroleum refin-
cries was suggested by the bureau of
mines after an investigation by D. b.
Dow, the bureaus petroleum engineer.
Mr.. Dow estimated that 50,000,0OO
gallons were recovered from uncon-
densed still vapors at refnerles in
1921.
application Of the system to all re-
finerles would give possible gasoline
recovery by this method Of 170,0OO,OOO
gallons yearly" the bureau said Ia a
statement.
"T'he calculations Of the bureau OF
mines are. based on results obtained In
refineries whose general methods are
more efficient than those employed In
the hundreds Of smalle: skimming
plants that have no recovery systems.
1t Is assumed that In the less eff
cient skimming plants, located In Sec
tlons where the supply Of cold water
so essential for condenser use Is
scarce, greater recoverles could be
made than In the large refneries
studied.
True Of Southwest.
This should be especially true of
Oklahoma, north Texas and Louisiana
skimming plants, where summer tenn
peratures are high and cold water Is
scarce. A survey Of these plants. II
Is believed, would show that their
losses In uncondensed still vapors
would be much higher than in the
plants where the studies Of the bu-
reau Of mines were conducted.
1.-THE magnitude Of the loss from
nOn-cendensation Of these vapors has
been realized only by few refners,
judging by the number Of plants that

However many paths are offered,
we can take but one. But when we

low the mind to wander continually
along the others, specializing concern
ing their possible advantages, and
wondering whether, after all, some
other way might not have been better.
The real road grows more difficult by

In their wild state all sheep were
furnished with pair Of horns, but the
number never exceeded two until some
curious specimens were discovered In
several Isolated sections of Asia. These
species had from four to six horns, the
upper set being graduated with the
smallest ones just above the eyes.
Curiously enough, the two lower sets

Columbia Backs State Fair Plan.

Columbia Backs State Fair Plan.
The plan to build a greater and bet

seen. is nothing like the list that

to some extent. An unusual example
Of this Is certain siimming plant
which produces about G,000 gallons Of
compression gasoline daily through
the summer months, but drops to as

less, but there Is always tendency

Guilty Only Of Great credulity.

Representative In Congress Peters
Of Maine, who was the chairman of
the congressional committee that con-
Quoted the investigation into the
escape Of Bergdoll and who signed
the minority report which cleared
certain men Of anything in the nature
of conspiracy to assist In the escape,
has taken himself out Of political life.
He Is now sitting upon the bench.
There never vas any belief any
where except among q few Of those
who wanted so to believe that the
men who were connected with the
Bergdoll case, or at least in the pot
of-gold part of it, were guilty of any
thing except credulity In. an exagger-
ated form. Therefore no one thinks
that because men have fallen Ill or
have lost their jobs or have had any
thing else happen to them, they have
met with misfortune as a matter Of
retrlbution. 1t simply Is clear that
many of these men have gone into
retirement.
The Bergdoll properties are still
tied up by the alien property custo-
dian, Col. Thomas w. Miller. Every
effort that the mother of the refugee
and her attorneys have made to re-
cover the properties has proved fruit
less and it Is pretty we'll understood
In Washington that means will be
found to keep control Of these proper
ties at least until after the Stacker
has been caught and returned to this
