NO-NOx, THE new
GULF MOTOR FUEL,
PROVES THE
GULF CLAIMS

The Gull Refining Company report an
unexpected sale Of N0-NOX and custo-
mers are lavish in their praise OF this
new fuel. The Gulf Refining Company
have been very conservative in their adj
vertising of NO-NOX as they say they
do not wish to "bull'' their customers
on this gas-they would rather its merits
be discovered by their patrons-they are
ready to stand back Of the guarantee
that N0-NOX viii stop carbon knocks
and that it contains nothing-harmful to
man or motor. An anti-knock or stop
knock fuel that really accomplishes its
migsion is worth the price to any motor
ist, says an officer of the Gulf Refining
Company, as the average consumption
of gasoline during the year is about
FIVE hundred gallons per car which
figures, at three cents additional per
gallon, the small sum Of $500 per
annum. The added power efficiency is
worth that, not to mention the saving
In wear and tear on motor and chassis
Of insufficient combustion, etc. There
seems to be no doubt as to the Gulf Re-
fning Company having at last found the
real remedy for carbon knocks.

Early Ship Lanterns
Valued by Collectors

One of the phases of the present
vogue for collecting anything connect
ed with the oldtime ships is that OF
earnestly seeking their lanterns or
lamps and very interesting and deeora-
tive, with the right surroundings, many
of them are.
Numerous lamps are traded as ships
lanterns which never went to sea. says
Capt. E. A. Mccain in the Antiquarian.
New York. If, however, it is a good
looking lamp and the owner is pleased
with it, its history is perhaps not so
very important, but If one wishes 10
be sure of the right nautical flavor.
some recaution is necessary.
An intimate knowledge of ships and
their ways is the best method of dis
eliminating; but as general index
ii may be stated that, to circumvent
the uneasy motion of vessel at sea,
every ship lamp is built, either to
swing from handle or ring, or to Sc
eurely fasten by the back. or OCCASION
ally, by the base; within these limits
there are many types.
The very earliest ship lanterns We're
metal cages erected In some prominent
part of the ship. as rule over the
stern. into which some combustible,
such as tow and resin, could be ignited
to give warning to another ship and
avert collision. This, in fact, is the
only purpose, for exterior lights to this
day, and they are carefully screened
SO as not to shine aboard, because any
light on the deck is only nuisance,
so far as navigation is concerned, and
even on the brilliantly lit modern
steamship it may be noticed that all
lights are screened from the bridge.
The frigates and ships-of-the-line
which followed in the Seventeenth and
Eighteenth centuries had very similar
ly designed lanterns, only more elab-
crate in their ornamentation and care
full in construction.
Any of these are, however, almost
impossible to obtain, and are more
suited to museums than to domestic
use. Those vessels would also use
cabin, gun-deck and other hand-lan-
terms, which again are extremely rare.

SUMMARY OF ADDRESS BY
ALBERT SNEDEKER

Clarksburg, w. Va, Sept. 28.-In
his address delivered here today be-
fore the convention of the Kiwanis
Clubs of West Virginia, Albert Sned-
eker, of Wheeling, Chairman of the
State Good Roads Committee, told
his hearers many interesting and i'm
portant facts about the State road
system and the work of the State
Road Commission.
Mr.. Snedeker first outlined the ac-
tivities of his committee. chief among
which have been the bringing about
of better understanding between
the State Road Commission and the
general public, and legislation which
would hasten the construction of the
State road system and provide for its
proper maintenance. Both of these
objects, he pointed out, have been ac-
complished.
Referring to a recent anonymous
attack on the State Road Commits
sion. in the form of unsigned pamph-
lets. Mr.. Snedeker said that he had
promptly investigated the charges.
The main one was. that the final cost
of certain projects had been much
greater than the original contract.
Mr.. Snedeker said that this was quite
true in the case of the few projects
named in the pamphlets. and was due
chiefly to earth slips which could not
be foreseen and which caused large
amount of extra work.
He said that in most cases, the
original estimates of the Commits
sion's engineers were approximately
the same as the final cost, and that
on 303 completed projects. which in
Guided the ones on which the earth
slides were encountered, the final
cost was only slightly in advance of
the original total estimates of S22.-
600, 100000. As to the individual
who scattered the anonymous pamph-
lets, Mr.. Snedeker said that he had
discovered his identity, and that he
was entirely unknown to the State at
large. His despicable act. Mr.. Sned-
eker said. was promptly by a desire
to get revenge for an imaginary
grievance against the Road Commits
sion.
Mr.. Snedeker further explained, in
this connection, that the State Road
jobs are not let by lump sum con-
tracts, but by units That is the
contractor bids on excavation at so
much per cubic yard, and on other
classes of work in the same manner.
and when the final measurements are
made he is paid only for the work
that he has actually done, regardless
OF whether it be more or less than
the original estimate.
Jp 70 the present time, Mr.. Sned-
eker said, the State Road Commission

ARCHBISHOP RAPS
CHILD LABOR BAN
Disagrees With Rev. John A.
Ryan of Catholic u. on
Amendment Need.

Archbishop Curley of Baltimore ex-
pressed his disapproval of the pro-
posed child labor amendment to the
Constitution In an address yesterday
afternoon at the fourth annual con-
ference of the District Chapter of the
International Federation of Catholic
Alumnae. held at the New Willard
Hotel
This attitude was in opposition to
the stand taken by Very Rev. John
A. Ryan Of the Catholic University.
one Of the drafters of the amendment,
who spoke on the measure earlier in
the day.
Archbishop Curley explained that he
did not favor the bill because it gave
Congress a. general power on a ques-
tion that affected the various States
in different ways. The speaker high
ly praised DR.. Ryans ability, but said
that he felt that the support of the
amendment on DR.. Ryan's part was a
mistake.
Asks School Support.
The archbishop warned the confer
ence against improper contribution
schemes fostered under the guise of
charity and religion. and asked the
women to support the parochial
schools and back the establishment
for Washington.
The conference adopted a resolution
pledging purchase of free text books
for the Catholic schools. Plans were
also laid for series OF conferences
in an effort to standardize text books
used in Catholic schools in the city.
1t was decided that members of the
conference should attend the meet
ing to be held at the District Build
