GREAT WASTE
Of GASOLINE
Daily Wastage of zoe, 900
Gallons by Evaporation,
Probe Shows

NEW YORK, Oct. ga daily
wastage of 200, 1000 gallons of gaso-
line by evaporation from IT'S unin-
sulated storage tanks throughout
| the country was reported today as
one of the major findings of In ex-
! tensive survey on conservation just
completed by engineers of Johns
Manville, Inc, and the U. S. Bureau
| Of Mines.
According to J. S. Carroll, general
manager of the Oil Industry De-
| partment of Johns-Manville, Inc,
the excessive losses by evaporation
of the more volatile gasolines stored
in uninsulated tanks were demon
strated by a series of special tests
on casinghead gasoline conducted at
| Bigheart and Drumright, Oklahoma.
The tests proved, 1t was said, that
the greater part of these losses are
preventable through the use of suit
able insulation.
Further Investigations were made
as to the losses from tanks con-
tanning motor gasoline and crude
oil. which losses were found to be
comfortable by the application of
| proper insulation.
1.-THE surface temperature OF the
fluid in an ~uninsulated storage
| tank" said MI. Carroll, whether it
| be gasoline or crude oil. is governed
by the temperature of the outside
| air, and direct radiant heat of the
sun. When this surface tempera-
ture increases, the rate of evapora-
ton increases, and the air in the
space at the top of the tank De-
comes saturated with gasoline va
por and other volatile fractions of
LIQUID in tank. This saturated air,
! due to expansion, is then carried off
into the outside atmosphere through
'breathers', which are simply the
| safety valves of the tank, to allow
for changes in pressure. At night,
when the temperature of the out
side air drops, the temperature in
side the tank also drops and fresh
air enters through the '~breathers',
becomes saturated and the absorbed
gasoline is lost the following day by
the continuation of the same cycle.
A great quantity of this saturated
air escapes through Ieaky joints of
roof plates and caves
1.-THE rate at which these losses
take place has been closely %calculat-
ed. A 5000 Dbl. storage tank, hold
ing gasoline, will lose about six poi
cent or Its contents IN one a "A
SINH ar tank, holding crude oil, will
lose about three per cent of its con-
ten in one year, and the loss from
CRY lie will be almost entirely pure
go oline.
There are ITS of these gasoline
forage tanks in use at the present
4me, holding 1~5,125,000 barrels,
There are 500 tanks storing crude
l oil. holding 27.500,00 barrels. The
loss from these IT'S tanks. without
insulation, is therefore estimated at
72,765,O00 gallons a year or 6.063,-
$50 a month. At 20 cents a gallon
the economic loss to the nation is
thus S~14,553,000 per year."

EXPECT TAG SALES
TO BEAT LAST YEAR

With % booths stationer in the
business district and in the outlying
parts of the city, including the taber-
nacle, the fourth annual tag day for
the Richmond Day Nursery, being held
Saturday, bids fair to be a great sue
cess. Reports from taggers show that
despite the rather unfavorable wealth
er conditions the public is responding
generously to requests for donations.
Those in charge of headquarters pre-
dict that the total return for the day
will approximate $1,000 or possibly
$4,000.
One thousand two hundred dollars
was received last year on the tag
day. but it is hoped that the unusual
number of generous checks that have
been received from individuals will
make this years total even greater.
All persons in charge of booths are
requested to bring in their money and
extra tags by o'clock Saturday even
ing to the headquarters at the Starr
Piano display rooms, Tenth and Main
streets.

CLUB TO BE LARGE

Wayne county Poland China breed
ers met at the Centerville elevator
Friday evening, to conclude definite
~ matters in relation to the pig club.
The attendance was large, all the Of
ficials and most of the active members
being on hand.
The committee on selection and dis
tribution of the pigs agreed that as
several of the get of the best strains
of the breed are still on farms in
possession of former pig club mem
bers, there will be cases where the
boy may elect to feed one of his own
pigs, a duly pedigreed animal.
Walter Sanborn, secretary, said that
in such cases the pig would be looked
over by the committee and if found
satisfactory, would be passed. This
committee, comprised of Wood Ella
son, Lewis Kinzie and Ernest Watt,
will collect the pigs during the last
three days of May, and will make
deliveries at Centerville. Thursday,

LEGISLATURE ASKED
TO LIFT DISABILITIES
IMPOSED ON INDIANS
fBv Associated Press.)

DELHI. India, May 20-Members of
the Indian legislature and delegates
from South Africa have appealed to
Lord Reading, the viceroy, to induce
the government of the Union of South
Africa to remove the disabilities anu
restrictions that are imposed upon In
dams in that British dominion.
The deputation was led by Sir JAM
setiee Jeejeebhoy and included dele
gates from South Africa as well as
members of the Indian legislature. 1t
represented to Lord Reading the pres
ent situation of Indians in South At
RIGA, and urged him to make strong
representation to the Union govern
ment of South Africa in order to Sc
cure for Indians equal rights of citf-
zenship.
In reply to the address presented to
him by the delegation, the viceroy an
nounced that the government of India
was in communication with the Union
government and had firmly and vigor-
ously championed the Indian cause.
Do All Possible
He stated also that his government
was determined to do everything with
in its power to forward the reasonable
claims of Indians domiciled in self
governing dominions, but added that
they must respect the principle of non
interference in the domestic affairs OF
these dominions, and that any inter
ference with this principle would not
be conducive to the good of the Indian
community.
The deputation, in its address, stat
ed that it had no complaint to make
regarding the treatment of Indians in
the Cape Province, where they have
the political franchise, and the right
to own immovable property, as well as
to acquire land and to reside where
they choose in the province
But in Natal, the address pointed
out. there is no political franchise fol
Indians. 1t is claimed that here Euro
peans have continually attempted to
impose racial restrictions on them
which the Indians have been helpless
to prevent. This discrimination has
been especially resented in the matter
of trading licenses and municipal by
laws.

CHILE, PERU HOPE
TO DEVELOP DIRECT
ISSUE IN FEW DAYS
(Ry Associated Press

WASHINGTON, May 20.-With the
conference sessions again in recess the
Chilean and Peruvian delegates to the
Washington conference on the disput-
ed territory of Taona-Arica resumed
their private and informal consulta-
tons today in the apparent expecta-
ton of defining direct issue within
few days.
Communications with their home
governments over the weekend was
expected to put both groups in a posi-
ton to state more definitely their pol
icies when they come together again
on Monday. So far it has been indi-
Gated the exchanges have not brought
the major issues to a decisive stage
because of the divergent angles from
which the conference problems have
been approached by the two groups.
Although the delegates themselves
would not discuss it the prospects of
decisive developments led to an in
crease in speculation in diplomatic
circles generally over the possible
form of arbitration to be considered
in case of deadlock. It was consid-
cred certain that should the issues
fail of direct settlement arbitration
would be urged strongly upon the con-
ference as means of solution.
Arbitration Agency.
Many ways have been suggested of
selecting an arbitration agency. BY
some 1t has been proposed that the
controversy might be left to The
Hague, and by others that the Inter
national court of justice created by
the League of Nations might be invit-
ed TO act
The method most frequently men,
toned in these speculations would con-
template an award either by the Unit
ed States acting as sole arbitrator, or
by tribunal composed of the United
States, Brazil and Argentina.
There also was a feeling in some
quarters today that should Chile and
Peru reach deadlock, the United
States might as host tender its good
offices" in such a manner as to make
arbitration unnecessary.
Although in their present stage the
Washington government is taking no
part in the negotiations, it is known
that the state department officials de-
sire to do everything possible to make
the conference a success and that
their study Of the situation has pro-
vided them with ideas which might be
found of value in promoting a direct
settlement.
1t was said today, however. that the
department was not yet prepared to
volunteer its aid and would not do
SO unless it received information that
its mediation would be acceptable to
both sides
