shortage of gasoline.
Elevated trains, suburban steam
trains and surface cars we're crowd
ed this msrning as workers who
ordinarily motor to the Loop came
to work.
Motorists Stock Up
While many motor cars appeared
on the streets, the volume was con-
siderably lessened,
Last night there was a-constant
line of motorists stocking up at fill
ing stations, many of which were
sold out.
Many business concerns today
prepared to use horse-drawn We
hicles in case the gasoline famine
continues for any length of time.
Hospitals met the situation by OBJ
tanning as much gasoline as possible
to stock up the supply for ambu-
lances.
The entire Chicago area -compris-
ing parts of four counties and ex-
tending even into northern Indiana
is affected by the drastic situ-
alton. 1t is estimated that some
100000 persons will be inconveni-
enced should the order remain in
effect over Sunday and that COM
merce generally will be paralyzed.
Police Guard Stations
, All police furloughs have been
suspended by Police Chief Michael
Hughes and patrolmen have been
ordered to maintain constant guard
around the closed filling stations.
Possibility of compromise sprang
up during the conference of union
officials and the oil men last night.

AS an added threat TO the
gasoline famine is the possibility of
a general walkout of all employees
of transit lines-elevated and
surface cars. Conferences ended
yesterday without solution, and will
be resumed Monday.

thought was borrowed rather than original. and that his influence was destructive.
 But" said Durant (which of us is original except in form? Granted that Voltaire lighted his candle at every mans torch; 1t remains that he made the torch burn so brightly that it enlightened all mankind. Never did one man teach so many, or with such irresistible artistry. The all con- temporary Europe bowed to his pen. so the great leaders of the mind in later centuries have honored him as the fountainhead of intellectual en- lightenment. Noltaire himself re- tained a sincere belief in a personal deity, but his followers went beyond him, and when he died materialism pursued every rival philosophy from the field"
 The inclusion of Darwin will like ly cause stir among the followers of the evolutionist controversy who read Durant's article.
 We cannot know now what Dar- wins work may finally mean in the history of mankind" said the au- thor. If Darwin was wrong, the world will forget him. If he was right, men will have to date from 1859 the beginning of modern thought Copernicus reduced the world to speck among melting clouds; Darwin reduced man to an animal fighting for his transient mastery of the globe"
