SEES NO GASOLINE SHORTAGE
Opinion of Expert viii Be Good News
to the Devotees OF the
Automobile.

No satisfactory substitute for
gasoline seems probable in the near
future, said DIR. John Bowman, pres
ident of the University of Pitts
burgh and director of its affiliated
institution, the Mellon Institute of
Research. Doctor Bowman is of the
opinion, however, that researches
now under way viii result in such
improvements in distribution that
the price of gasoline viii actually
decline. The quality of gasoline viii
also be SO improved that carbonizing
will be unknown.
There can be no shortage Of gaso-
line for centuries, Doctor Bowman
points out, because oil exists in suf-
ficient quantity to supply gasoline
for nine centuries to come. Further
more, the institute has, as a result of
its researches, found that present
processes of extracting oil from oil
sand result in only IL per cent ex-
traction. The institute, as result
OF this discovery, has successfully
evolved a method of materially in
creasing this percentage.

But Mr.. Woodpecker was wrong,
for Mr.. Squirrel had his mind set

Mr.. Squirrel knew that she would

out of sight Of the tree.
Then that wicked Mr. Squirrel ate
the four eggs for his breakfast and

PROBLEM UP TO ENGINEERS
Increased Utilization OF Rainfall
Would Add Materially to the
Wealth OF the Nation.

A vivid picture of the amount Of
rain that falls upon the United
States is given by Washington
scientist. 1t is equivalent, he states,
to ten Mississippi rivers flowing con-
stantly. Otherwise measured, it
equals 80 inches of water for the en-
tire area, making a total volume of
49,, 700, 0OO,000,00O cubic feet. But
this is only. half the amount that
would be necessary to maintain the
full productivity of the soil of the
whole country. One-third of this
amount runs down to the sea in
rivers. The problem for engineers
to solve is the utilization to the ut
most of the supply that nature fur
nishes. Exchange.

A German police dog, while run
ming along the edge of thin ice
covering part of the Connecticut
river near Hartford, fell into the
water. Although several persons
saw the dogs plight, they were I'M
able to help, and it seemed as
though the animal would be
drowned, but another large dog, a
playmate of the police dog, went to
the rescue. 1t ran down the river
to the nearest clear water, and when
the police dog came to the surface
the rescuer rushed to the edge OF
the ice and pulled it out The
comrades celebrated by running up
and down the river bank, barking
joyously.

FIND ANCIENT TOMB

A tomb, believed to be about 5000
years old, has been discovered at
Catherine, four miles from Stone
haven, according to the Stonehaven
correspondent of the London Daily
News.
While James Scott was digging in
field his spade struck large stone
slab. He continued digging and ex-
posed to view three layers of stones.
He sent for Rev. Mr., Fraser Of
Kinneff, an antiquarian. With as
sistance the large stones were re-
moved, and a grave was revealed
containing the skeleton of fully
grown man, lying on his left side,
with an earthenware food urn beside
him.
Mr.. Fraser expressed the belief
that the remains belonged to the
Bronze age, and might possibly be
5000 years old. The greater part of
the urn is in good state Of prsser-
Vation.

EXPLAINING ORIGIN OF COAL
Trees and Vegetable Matter, Carbon
lied by Hot Lava, the Foundation,
According to Professor.

The origin of coal has been dis
covered, says Prof. Barton Scam
nell, president of the Radium insti-
tute at Dover, England. He has
been engaged in research work with
lava from Mount Vesuvius, which
Is being used as fertilizer, and says
this led to the discovery that the
layers of binds the mysterious
substances found on the top and
bottom of all coal seams-are iden-
teal in analysis with lava. The
bind contains lime, iron, magnesi-
nm, potash and other elements
required by plant life and, when
made radioactive with solutions Of
radio phosphate Of potash, it alb
serbs nitrogen in the air and forms
q perfect fertilizer. The origin Of
coal is thus explained by Professor
Scammell. 1t is cellulose Of trees
and vegetable matter, carbonized by
hot lava, thus forming coal, and
sunk into the depth of earth by dis
turbances Of the earth's crust at a
remote period. He claims that con-
version Of the bind, now a waste
product, into fertilizer will enrich
the mining and agricultural indus
tries.

ODD SOURCES OF MEDICINE
CssI and Many Other Minerals Furnish
Physicians With Drugs Which
Are OF High Importance.

Many medicines in common use
come from quite unexpected
sources.
Who, for instance, would con-
meet antipyrine, the remedy for
headaches, with coal? Yet it is one
of the by-products of "black dia-
monds."
Epson salt and magnesia, mild
sperient, occur frequently in beds
Of limestone.
On some parts of the coast, on
high cliffs overlooking the sea,
grows a pretty little blue flower
called the squill. The bulb of this
is the foundation of various rem
edies.
Plants of the aconite family are
full of most powerful poison,
which is useful in the treatment Of
govt, neuralgia, rheumatism, and
heart affection.
Camphor is obtained in curious
way. Chips of camphor-wood are
placed in earthenware vessels closed
at the top. A strong current Of
steam is then driven into the vessels,
which forces the eyaporated camphor
to the top of the pots, where it con-
denses into white crystals, which are
afterward collected.
Glycerine and soap have a COM
mon foundation, the former being a
by-product of the latter At one
time the glycerine was allowed to
flow away as useless during the
manufacture; now, Of course, it is
collected carefully.

, his home now and that possession
proved 1t.
Mrs. Woodpecker few away TO find
her husband, but he met with no bet
ter success, for Mr.. Squirrel told him
the same thing he had told his wife
and drove them away.
But the Woodpeckers knew that Mr..
Squirrel would not stay In the house
all the time SO they patiently waited
for revenge.
1t was not until the next day that
Mr.. Squirrel ventured far from the
new home. Then he came to the door
and took look all around but he
did not see the Woodpeckers, who were
fiattened against the tree far over his
head.
Mr.. Squirrel had been busy storing
away food and while the Woodpeckers
knew they would never be comfort
able again in their home they deter
mined that bad Mr.. Squirrel should
not live in comfort there either, and
as soon as they had watched him run
ming down the path they flew over to
Reddy Squirrels and told him about
the food in the hollow of the tree
which had once been their home.
Now Reddy Squirrel liked nothing
better than to find store of food
which Mr.. Gray Squirrel had hidden.
When he heard the news he did not
even stop to thank the Woodpeckers.
for Reddy is not very polite crea-
ture. OF he scampered.
1t was late In the day when Mr..
Squirrel returned to his new home,
and when he discovered he had been
robbed he ran to the door of his home
and chartered angrlly.
Mr. and Mrs. Woodpecker knew that
they were revenged, but before they
flew away from the limb where they
sat watching, Mr. Woodpecker said,
Freddy Squirrel called while you were
out, Mr.. Squirrel, and we told him to
go right in and make himself at home.
We knew that was the way you did
when folks were not at home"
Mr.. Squirrel watched the Woodpeck-
ers fly out of sight and then he ran
down the tree and away from that
part Of the wood to look for new
home, for he knew 1t was no use iiy-
Ing there now that Reddy Squirrel had
his storehouse.
II wonder if they told him." thought
Mr. Squirrel. II guess I won't let any
bird know where 1 make my home this
time. Little birds are always telling
things you don't want known"

PAPER MONEY
PIPE DREAMS
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

Hitting the pipe seems like the
greatest way in the world to get
something for nothing whole para
disc full Of Joy for . few whihs Of
opium smoke. But
By the way, the big lure. about nat
money II that It seems to promise
abb 81 as much for nothing az a Whit
on the pipe. They are Just coming
cut Of such q dream now IN Germany
Here II the way that German soft
money dream goss. Say in 1918 q
man put . ten year mortgage for 10.
900 marks on his farm. Marks were
then worth. in gold. about four
to the dollar. The debt, therefore,
was equivalent to about $4,000.
In the ton years since that debt was
contracted, the German Government
has published, 30 to speak. trillions of
paper marks. What happened? What
would happen to the price of eggs II
they had q hen at Washington laying
q billion eggs day,-even II they put
q government stamp on them saying
eggs we're worth a quarter Q Piece!
German marks have gone down from
four to the dollar to 10000 to the

to be paid. Marks are quoted 10000
to the dollar. Twenty-thousand
marks. one-sixth of that, therefore
equal one-sixth of a dollar.-16 2-3
cents. On the theory that "a mark
is mark" the debtor could wipe on
his $4,000 mortgage for 16 % cents
less than the value Of dozen eggs.
That Is, he can unless the pipe
dream comes to a sudden end. For
ing that the theory "a mark is mark"
doesn't go,-that a debtor has to give
back a fair equivalent for what he re-
ceived and that present paper marks
worth 100000 to the dollar are not
the fair equivalent Of former gold
marks at four to the dollar.
Furthermore all pipe dreams are
too good to be true. They are not
what they seem. The smoke is wear
ing of in Germany and they are COM
Ing down to earth with a dull thud.
1t is beginning to be realized that the
net result of paper money night
mare Is that producers are robbed
and spectators enriched. Farmers
are unable to raise prices for their
products fast enough to keep up with
the falling purchasing power of un-
sound money. The value Of such
money slips away from them like
handful of dry sand. 1t brings back
to them less in purchases than they
gave Of their products to get 1t.
The farmer as a result can't make
ends meet and when he gets into diff
dculties the unsound money specu-
ator steps in and buys up mortgaged
farm lands cheap-anc thus 1t 10 !
mostly the speculatQr who profits by
laying of the mortgages with cur
'ency worth less than a dozen eyes,
,nless the courts stop him.
More than that II farm mortgage
lebt can be paid on with almost
currency, SO can corpora
ions pay OF their bonded debt,-the |
onds in which many a farmers saw.
ngs, and many q widows and or
hans Inheritance, are invested.
Before the war, with marks worth
4 cents gold, the deposits Of the
hrifty in German savings banks were
Worth over five billion dollars. Today.
Though these deposits have multi.
lied many fold in terms of marks,
heir real value is only about half a
lillion dollars gold. That is what a
loose money" plan does for common
olks.
Pipe dreams are wonderful while
ley last-but shattered health, mis-
~ and despair are the final penalty
he ones who profit are the dope
'llers. Unsound money is a pipe
the penalty is economic
lin, misery and despair for the ma.
rity. The ones who profit are the
regulators.
