STOCKHOLM SEES END
OF SHORTAGE IN HOUSES

Stockholm, July L. P)-More
room Tor cradles and fewer military
barracks is the order Of the day in
Sweden. BY its recent vote the ma
tional legislature has sustained the
proposal Of the Social Democratic
government to cut down the number
Of army corps from six to four and
to reduce all army and navy expendi-
lures accordingly.
All the parties Of the Left, Liberals
Social Democrats and Communists,
supported this move in the teeth OF
determined opposition from the right
wing conservatives. At the same time
the officers rooms in one Of the for
mer regimental barracks of Stock
holm have already been reconstructed
into emergency tenements for famil-
les unable to procure other housing,
and the city itself runs a real estate
bureau, where information may be
had free Of charge as to where vacant
flats or houses may be found.
With an unprecedented building
activity going on, the end Of housing
shortage is in sight. Within the lin
its of Stockholm itself close to 1900
!! new apartments are under construc-
ton and in the suburbs entire Iom-
! munities are growing up.

FUND HELPS WORKERS
DURING SLACK SEA!


New York, July l.-(P) - New
York now has modified form of un-
employment dole in the highly sea-
sonal cloak and suit industry.
Hundreds Of workers, idle a requis-
tie nine weeks this season. recently
began receiving weekly benefits of
$40. The payments came from an
unemployment insurance fund of
more than $l,20O,OOO originally con-
ceived by special commission ap-
pointed by Governor Smith, and now
jointly borne by employers and EN-
ployes them selves.
Workers pay in to the fund one
per cent of their wages each week
they are employed. Manufacturers
contribute two-thirds Of the weekly
payroll. If the manufacturers tack
on the amount of their preponderant
assessment to the selling price of
cloaks and suits, it has been said, the
workers will be receiving part pay
vacations during otherwise "off" sea
sons, two thirds of which will be paid
by the we'll dressed woman.
The gubernatorial commission,
however, saw substantial benefits ac-
cruing from this unemployment in
surance. II it alleviates labor dis
tress and unrest it may conceivably
curtail costly Interruptions and stop
pages in the industry, a saving which
would more than pay the freight" it

POULTRYMEN WAR ON RATS
WITH AID OF POISON GA

Tacoma, July l.-CA)-PIans are
now being laid for gas attack on the
rats that are causing poultrymen of
western Washington q loss of thou
sands of dollars year. The United
States biological survey, the expert
ment station of the State College of
Agriculture and the poultrymen,
through their association, are coop
Grating in the warfare.
The method of attack will be to
force calcium cyanide into the rat
burrows under building floors and
foundations. The calcium cyanide,
coming into contact with the mois-
ture of the air, forms hydrocyanic
acid gas, in q concentration Of which
no animal can live.
Recently q demonstration Of this
gas was held on q poultry farm near
here under the supervision of DR.. Lee
K. Couch of the biological survey
On this farm were four buildings
housing $500 hens and made as near
ly rat proof as possible. Rats, how
ever, had burrowed under the cement
floors and foundations and through
the concrete itself, causing q loss il
grain and poultry estimated at $1,000
. year.
The calcium cyanide was pumped
into the burrows, and 1913 dead rat.
were taken out. These are believed
to be only part Of those killed.

BENZ0L USED
AS FUEL FOR
AUTOMOBILES
Cars Using Substitute Can
Start Easier in Cold
Weather.
Rn NEA Serrice

BIZ NEA Serrice
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Benzol is
being introduced as a motor fuel.
The best results from this fuel are
obtained when mixed with gasoline,
although straight benzol has been
successfully used.
When straight benzol is used in
an automobile motor it is necessary
to provide more air than ordinarily
required with gasoline fuel.
Get More Mileage
Comparative tests between gaso-
line and benzol show that 10 per
cent to 80 per cent in miles per gal
lon of fuel were obtained by use Of
benzol.
After 500 miles of running the
dilution of crankcase oil was found
to be Z per cent with gasoline and
only per cent with benzol.
The absolute viscosity of oil after
use with gasoline decreased 81 per
cent at rs degrees F. and with benzol
it increased II per cent at rs de-
grees f.
The volatility of benzol produces
greater ease Of starting, particularly
in cold water.
Powerful Solvent
Benzol is a powerful solvent, and
it has been found that when using
benzol mixtures in a car that has
been running on gasoline. the &C
cumlation of dirt in the tank and
fuel pipe is sometimes loosened and
carried forward into the carbuetor.
Some experiments have been car
ried out, using a mixture Of benzol
and alcohol, but the results were not
as satisfactory as those OF the ben
zol-gasoline mixture.
