 In the Sixth district the O'Brien ticket won over the Marvin ticket. O'Brien ticket, but the Republican organization claims that this delegate ticket is favorable to them, Mich olas Tesiny's agitation for the League to the contrary notwithstanding.
 William B. Meyers won his delegate ticket which he heads in the Eleventh district over Alfred w. Burdick. for mer alderman, by a two to one vote. Burdiok poIled 150 votes aginst 273 for Meyers. The fight in the Eleventh district was purely a factional fight, both sides protesting adhere to the organization.
 MT. King appeared upon the scene shortly before the Ninth district bal lot box was brought in. Handshak1ng was in order and each report was read aloud his face beamed with smiles.
 '"The people have answered the Re- publican Voters League" Chairman Robinson declared. "This is what I anticipated and I am extremely we'll pleased.''
 The organization claims victory in the Seventh district where a Joint ticket was selected. This is done despite the fact that the League mas representation on the ticket. The Fourth district, said to be hotbed of Rorabackism, was deciseive1y de- feated for delegate representation, the anti-King or Lyon ticket being defeated by 99 votes.
 Both the Voters League and the organization were active in getting out votes. Autom obiles were fur nished in every district and they. dis played banners adding a touch of election color to the primary contest. All polling places were peaceful and "clean' tactics were used on both sides.
 The city convention will be held to- morrow night at o'clock in the High school. Chairman Robinson will open it and an appointed chairman will take place. Delegates to the senate, congressional county and probate conventions will be selected. One del- egate from each senatorial district will comprise the state senatorial con- yention.

Hartford, Aug. 3o.-Follow- ing the state wide caucuses yesterday, both sides agreed to- day after examining the results last night that whether or not they have J. Henry Roroback busted from the state conven- ton in New Haven on Septem- Der thirteenth, is still a very close question.
 Roraback claims enough del- egates to secure a new state central committee which would give him a reelection by the required majority of 18 votes or more in the committee of thirty-five.

 One of the striking features of last nights caucuses is that Rora back de- riHes his strength almost entirely from small towns and all large cities and centers of population are against him excepting in Hartford where al- though there is plenty of feeling against Roraback there was no time to organize on a sufficiently large ba- sis of the unexpected disclosures that Morgan G. Buckley. the veteran op- poneut of the Roraback wing, was fraternizing with Charles D. Goodwin, one of Roraback's Eeutenants. The 12th district in which lives Col onel Robert O.

 jects to Coal Prices Americans G e t What They Prefer.

Some doctors say Feat a hearty breakfast" Most mental work CTS know that a hearty breakfast is disastrous to good work. They c know that an overload of food taken at any period during the working day Is an impeachment. Mental workers and many others sorts of workers eat too much, more food than they need and not in correct proportions.
 
 The American eating habit Is largely an inheritance from the early days when men worked farms and heavy manual labor was the rule. Machinery. much of which needs simply to be watched. has reduced great deal of work to the status of a . mental operation.
 Perhaps overeattng and frn- proper eating are the greatest causes of Ill health.

 The earliest defects of tmprop- CT diet are exhibited in the decay of the teeth. and from this decay and from the same causes that produce 1t, may bodily evils come, bringing in their train men tai evils, including insanity.
 Henry Ford says he can buy all the coal he wants if he will pay two or three prices for 1t. More Ithan likely he describes the fact correctly. American trade con- sists of buying in the lowest mar ket and selling in the highest. While wealth so acquired Is as dignified as any other wealth. if no penalty attaches, no humilia- tton, if there Is no law to prevent. 1t will be assumed that this is what the American people prefer. that they are getting what they want
 MT. Eiord's story means that the average American, when he hears that one of his neighbors has g. small corner in coal, says to himself: "I wish I had that corner, and T would make some money" Not until the average
  American says to himself: ''It is wrong to corner coal. 1t is wrong to take advantage of the necessi- ties of the people. I wouldn't do it, and won't let anybody else do it" not until then will coal come dn an orderly way at stable price for the common use of all the people.

A tract OF tw~enty-nine and one
half acres Of land has been secured
at Buffalo, located at the corner Of
East Delevan Ave. and the Erie RAN
road, with a frontage OF 1850 feet on

WILMINGTON. Del, Sept. 20
Peril OF carbon-monoxide gas poison
ing from the exhausts of automobiles
will be eliminated with use of a ma
chine invented by Guy B. Taylor.
chemist Of the Dupont company. and
H. S. Taylor. associate professor Of
chemistry at Princeton University.
Announcement OF this invention
has been made by the American
Chemical Society. The machine is de
signed for the detection OF deadly
gasses. It is applicable especially to
automobile exhaust.
Carbon-monOxide gas has been the
cause Of death to many a motorist.
Working on the engine. with the ga
rage shut against fresh air, the mo-
torist would be quickly overcome by
the fumes. The gas Is especially
dangerous in that it cannot be de-
tected by the senses.
The new machine, it is said, not only
detects the gas, but records It con-
~tinuously while there Is the faintest
sign OF it in the air.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Substi-
tutes for gasoline are still being used
to relieve millions of the gullible of

That the number Of victims has
not been reduced, in spite of recent
disclosures, is maintained by DR.. Ray

search Of Pittsburgh.

Peat Fuel
Motor fuel from peat has been the
most popular goal of inventors. A
useful oil can undoubtedly be obtained
from peat, is DIR. Bacon's view, but 1t
would cost several dollars a gallon.
This has been the chief bait for the
gullible and many have been caught
in the net. Other kinds Of fuel also
have bean discovered" but they have
all turned out to be impracticable or
sheer frauds.
Some Of the inventors of gasoline
processes foist upon the public a mix
ture of kerosene to which is added
a little ether. The effect OF the ether
is to give a quicker ignition, but as
this fluid is very costly. motor fuel
OF this kind really costs more than
gasoline.
Chance for Change
Undoubtedly, cheaper substitutes
for gasoline VIII be made eventually.
At the present tine Their are mix
lures OF alcohol and tar oils which.
although more expensive than gaso-
line. have many good qualities.
at should be borne in mind that
all the large petroleum refining com
panies are spending many thousands
Of dollars in research work TO find a
lower priced motor fuel. Any inven-
tor could interest the large corpora
tons and reap a rich reward in royal
ties if he could convince then that
his process would make gasoline at

ANY person who is considering
the purchase Of the patent rights OF
a process for making cheap gasoline
would do well to consult a petroleum
