WARRANT OFFICERS

Johnson Offers House Bill
Restoring Former Status
in Navy.

To benefit one-ffth of the entire
Office personnel of the Navy, the prac-
teal seamen and practical specialist
type. by restoring commissioned war
rant officers to the pay status they
had for some 20 years before the pas
sage of the joint service pay act of
June 10, 1922. deprived them of such
status, a bill was introduced in the
House Yesterday by Representative
Royal G. Johnson of South Dakota,
chairman Of the veterans committee.
The officers to be affected by this
legislation are commonly known as
hoatSwainS, chief Sunners, chief cleo
tricianS, etc: but they are commits
stoned officers. as much so as any
other officer of the Navy, Representa-
tive Johnson points out.
They work up from the ranks after
long service TO these special com
missions. which furnish the only sub
Stantial opportunity for promotion
from the ranks" he said.
Basis of Ensign.
For great number of years. and
up to 1872" Mr.. Johnson explains, "it
was the settled policy OF Congress and
the Navy Department and the law
provided that these officers. upon he
ing commissioned, should have the pay
and allowances of an ensign, and after
and ; years commissioned service
the pay and allowances of lieutenant,
Junior grade, and lieutenant. respec-
lively The law also provided that
whenever the pay of ensign and lieu
tenant was increased the pay of these
officers would also increase automati-
cally.
II know Of no good reason" he
said, and have heard none advanced
why that policy should have been
changed. Indeed, there is greater rea
son than ever before for maintaining
II now
Efficiency is Impaired.
Evidently when the joint service
pay act was formulated the pay
status of these officers was over
looked. and a single sentence in that
act destroyed their long existing pay
parity with the other officers men
TONED. As a result Of this these off
GERS did not participate in the gener-
Gus increase made by that act in the
pay of the other officers. These Off
GERS and their families are seriously
handicapped, and, in my Judgment,
the efficiency Of the Navy is bound TO
be seriously impaired.
The purpose OF the bill is TO re-
store TO these officers the equality of
pay status which had been theirs for
so many years, and of which the in
crease of pay act deprived them.
Other bills were introduced for The
same purpose in the last Congress.
and doubtless others will be intro
duced in this. | will cooperate with

to 1922, and surely they are entitled

WAY OF PURIFYING
GID OIL IS FOUND
Alabama Scientist Finds
Method That May Have
Great Economic Results.

BE- the Associated Press
AUBURN. Ala. December 10
Demonstrations here indicate that old
crankcase oil of automobiles which
has been regarded fit for nothing, may
be reclaimed and used again.
Dr. c. ID. Miller. who is engaged
in research work in the department
Of agricultural engineering of the
Agricultural College OF the Alabama
Polytechnic Institute. has succeeded
in working out a method for reclaim
ing or laundering old oil at 81 cost
estimated by him at less than five
cents a gallon.
Does Not Wear Out.
In studying the problem. DR.. Miller
found that oil does not wear out
by use in a CrankcaSe, and neither
does it change its composition. Some
losses occur mechanically and by OIL
dalton, but the oil itself remains sub
Stantially the same as il was before
used. 1t is rendered unfit for service
by contamination with other sub
stances, such as carbon and other
solids. and certain constituents Of
gasoline.
The removal Of these substances is
all that is required for its successful
reclamation. This can be done by
pouring the oil into a tank. adding a
through it for three hours. allowing
it to settle, and then drawing off the
! oil from the top, leaving the foreign
! substances, both solid and liquid in
| the bottom.

portion of the steam carries the gaso-
| line away with il as vapor.
