THE CORY DETAILS.

I certainly had a awful time, says
Mabel, at last. Did 1 tell you 1 had
the largest inhibitions the doctor ever

lived at all, with them in my system,
IS a miracle. But tell me, how is
George? And I says, I'm afraid
George has a perfectly hopeless case Of
good health. How is Joe, he seemed
in a awful state when he called me up
this morning. And Mabel says to me,

over Joe. she says. / suppose he

Well anyways, when Geo. seen me,
he at once says, al sweet sympathy,
what and the devil are you laying
down for, don't you know it is nearly
dinner time7 And / says yes, dear,

MABEL Is SADLY CHANGED.

Well, didn't waste no time knock
ing. and when the nurse let me in,
there was in the bed a person which
she assured me it was Mabel Bush,
but naturally she seemed a perfect
stranger to me-perfect in the one
sense only, nobody could of called her
really perfect in the best sense, not
with that horse-and-buggy period
nightgown on, and her hair brushed
the way it was easiest for the nurse.
So she says why hello, dear! AMI
1 says, hello, Mabel, in brave, cheer
full tone calculated to make the health
lest person worry about theirself.
Hello dear. why you are looking fine !!
1 says. And Mabel says now Jennie
Jules, how can you be so unsympa-
thetic. I've had a perfectly awful
time, why do you know, the doctor
told me only this morning 1 had the
worst case of inhibitions they had ever
operated on in this hospital. Isn't
that so, Miss Take? she says to the
nurse, and the nurse says yessindeedie.
Ny, they didn't hardly think I'd live.
and the woman IN the next room didn't
live, so you see I was pretty near
dead.
And I says my, what a pity, but
what a pleasant room you've got here,
dear, you must hurry up and get well
SOS you can use the little token 1
brought you. And before she could
answer Miss Take had grabbed the box
out Of my hand. How lovely she says
without even opening it, excuse me
while 1 so and put them in water
And then she went out and so did the
conversation. for a few minutes.

ETHYL GASOLINE
USE INCREASING,
REFINERS SHOW
Licenses Being Issued to
Companies to Produce
New Fuel.
Ru Timca SnccinL

BH Times Special
NEW YORK, Dec 23.-The steady
increase in the consumption of
ethyl gasoline is being viewed with
growing interest by many oil refin-
ers. Because Of this growth, re-
quests for licenses are coming from
all sections of the country. The
present distribution of licenses to
make this product, while nation
wide in scope, Is limited, with the
exception of Standard OIL of Indiana
and it's territory, to sixteen different
refining companies with thirty mix
ing plants scattered throughout the
country. Because of the difficulties
in the way of increasing this num-
Der of mixing plants, many refiners
fear large losses of business through
inability to supply ethyl gasoline to
| their customers.
OF the sixteen different companies
owning mixing plants, Standard Oil
Of New Jersey, with five plants, To-
Gated at Baltimore, Md; Bayway,
Bayonne, N. j.; Charleston, S. c.;
Sewells Point, Va, and Parkers-
| burg. w. Va, respectively, heads the
list in number. The Continental Oil
Company, with headquarters at
Denver. with five plants located at
Florence, Colo; Artesia, N. M; Sa-
pulpa, Okla. Salt Lake City, Utah,
and Glen Rock, Wyo, ranks second.
The Continental's mixing plant at
the Sapulpa COkla) refinery is the
latest to be installed.
Two Limitations
In the installation of new mixing
plants, two fixed limitations govern
the speed with which the Ethyl
Gasoline Corporation can take on
new refiner licenses and start them
i'm business as ethyl gasoline dis
pensers, according to statements OF
officers of the corporation. The first
is the mechanical and engineering
difficulty of construction and the
second is the inadvisability of fur
Their enlargement until the assur-
ance of a large permanent market
for the product.
Handicap Increases
The effect of the situation. refin-
ers point out, is that those com
panies holding ethyl gasoline mixing
licenses are in a highly favorable
position. In some highly competi-
tive fields, Pennsylvania, for in
stance. where previously a Jobber
would deal with anywhere up to one
hundred refneries, he is now limited
to four. With the recent marked
Increase in the number of retail Job
bers' licenses granted, the serious
ness of the handicap placed up to
those refners with mixing licenses is
increased.

Low Production Week

To-day the industry as a whole is
close to IS per cent basis, with the
Steel Corporation slightly above 20
per cent.
General suspension from noon Of
Friday until Sunday hight will make
this the low production week Of the
year. Movement Of steel to the auto
mobile industry this month and next
will exceed that q October and No
Vember, but much OF it will be re-
leased on suspended shipments and
will enter into cars built in Febru-
airy and later. New orders for motor
car steel awaits more definite data
as to spring demands upon the
builders
This question Of spring demand
for motor cars Is aeltatlng more than
the steel industry right now. The
market as a whole would like a more
definite line upon the extent Of this
business before entering upon too
large commitments The motor in
dustry has grown to he one Of the
most valuable indices Of general con.
ditions in the entire country.

BY K. Walter MOckIer

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Rail stocks
were under considerable proflt-tak-
ing pressure Wednesday. but with
this exception the stock market
lacked lustre. Already the trading
has drifted into the pre-holiday dol
droms where the response of stocks
to developments either way is more
or less mechanical.
No attempt is being made to fan
interest in the market and operations
for the professional group could not
be called aggressive. Here and there
as in the case of Hudson, a stock
somewhat out of line with its market,
has been built up in general and the
principal motive OF the trading has
been a desire on the part Of traders
to readJust individual positions over
the year end.
