YOUNG GOSLINGs
NEED GOOD CARE

When the gosiings are raised in
Breeders they must be closed up At
night for the first two or three week.
After thar they may be allowed 10
come and go if their pen is safe from,
dogs and other providers. Their runs
should be so arranged that they will
have plenty of grass.
BY the time the goslings are n
month old they will have reached a
size which Is comparable TO small
hens and may then be given wide or
free range or be kept confined in
yards where grass is available. II the
grass in their yards gets eaten down
1t Is necessary to supplement it with
waste from the garden, lawn clippings
or similar green stuff. On such feed
the goslings will make good gains but
the addition of a little grain is advis-
able.
Water for drinking should always
be available for the goslings. While
they are small the vessel should be
protected so they cannot get into Il
While the weather is cool 1t Is well
to provide water only for drinking.
After the weather settles and becomes
warm there is no harm in giving them
water so they can splash around In 1t.
Stale bread or a mash comprised Of
corn meal and shorts are the feeds
most often used to supplement- the
grass ration of little goslings. Others
use a more complete mash similar TO
that fed TO chickens which contains
animal food, skim milk or some dried
milk products.
The profit In raising geese comes
from the fact that they are great for
ayers and make the bulk of their gains
on feed that Is otherwise unstable. 1t
is a mistake TO try to raise them
largely on a grain ration which in
creases the expense; besides, they do
not do so well as when given more
forage.

 Gagliardi reported to Sergeant P. A. McAvay about s o'clock last evening that q Spaniard called on him and asked 10 be directed 10 Lee street. After receiving the di- rections he protested that he, would be una ble to follow them and he asked Gagliardi to accompany him.

much. Cracked gas is the best type of gasoline. In cracking crude oil they break down the kerosene or the heavy compound.
 While in 1904 they took 212 gal Ions of skinned gasoline out of q barrel of 42 gallons of crude oil, in 1927 they were able to take 16 gal Ions out of a 42 gallon barrel and the gas is of q better quality today because it's possesses more poWt r and delivers more mileage. This IS due 10 new cracking processes.
 Natural gasoline is produced hy collecting the vapors and condensing them through charcoal. It is satur- ated with the most volatile parts of gasoline and IS often called casing head Some time natural gas pos sesscs very good anti-kno oCk char acteristics. Large companies can't pick or choose their crude like an independent can, because they own 90 much crude that they have got to use what they own and a large part controlled by the independent re- liners and sold to independent mar keters. The same gas that is good in Connecticut and New England is not necessarily the right type for Virginia or Georgia.

GASOLINE BETTER, EXPERT DECLARES
Dr. Hoover Describes New
 Methods in Oil Industry

Forty-one persons attended the banquet of the Rackliffe Oil Co. at the Burritt hotel last evening ano heard Dr. Charles R. Hoover, profes- sor of chemistry at Wesleyan Uni vcrsity. deliver an address on gaso- line. The guests included 15 em- ployes of the company and a num- Der of local factory chemists.
 According to Dr. Hoover "Gaso- line is better today than it was two years ago; is better starting and has les crankcase dilution. The gas that is all right for summer is not the proper gas for winter. The things that are necessary in gasoline are quic,, starting. avoidance of crankcase dilution, acceleration, high mileage. plenty of power and no harmful substances such as acids, sulpher, residue, etc.
 "The idea of getting a uniform gasoline is wrong because gasoline can be too uniform. Skim gasollm is the old type of gas and is not as good as cracked gasoline. Tetra- ! ethyl lead gasoline possesses mo- 1 knock characteristics but the lead is poisonous and not Combustible and
 therefore will not burn. The lead is i dangerous to mechanics as it comes
 out of the exhaust. Benzol blend
 has zoe anti-knock characteristics IL comes from coal. It, as a rule
 contains too much sulphur. Sulphur is injurious. Benzol blend is more sluggish and heats up the motor toe

After some time. the strangers prevailed upon Gagliardi to accom- pany them to Lee street, and before leaving. the first man offered him $20 for his trouble but Gagliardi re- fused 10 accept it. The second man took it, however and when Lee street was reached. proposition was made to have Gagliardi post a few thousand dollars with the first stranger, who showed a roll of bills amounting to s20,00O, according to his representation. He had s5,000 more in his trunk at the passenger station. he said, having obtained a verdict against a railroad company for his brothers death in an acci- dent in Colorado.
 The second stranger offered to show his good faith by posting the s20 bill given him by the first man, and s5 of his own money. The trio could make considerable money in a real estate project, the strangers said. but Gagliardi was suspicious Of the great concern relative to his financial condition manifested by the strangers and he insisted that he had no money in the bank or any other place. The strangers left him near Clark and Lee streets.
 According 10 the police. the strangers had selected Gagliardi as a probable victim and the game was to dazzle him by flashing the wad of bills. there being one or more so0 bills on the outside of the roll. Had he produced a sizeable amount as his share In the project, the strangers would have found a way of leaving him on the street corner and by the time they had put New Britain safely behind them, he

would have begun to realize that he had been film fiammed.

Highway Commission
Adopts First Budget;
Adjourns to Sept. 5

PHOENIX, Ariz.,1 Aug. "a, P)-Ari-
zona's first highway commission
adopted it's first budget today, after
three days of continuous sessions, and
adjourned until September 5, without,
however making any figures public
until after they have been accepted
by the state tax commission.
Members Of the commission said
they had no wish to withhold in
formation from the public, but were
hampered by the fact that many
sheets of revised estimates and ap-
portionments must be corrected and
totaled anew before it was possible
to know the assumed revenue or the
proposed expenditures,
The corrected sheets will be taken
by State Engineer Lefebvre to the
tax commission. That body has no
concern with the manner in which
money is apportioned to various pro-
jects and purposes, but is charged
with certifying to the highway COM
mission, the state treasurer and the
state auditor the estimated total of
revenues.

Aged Resident Shoots

Not Expected to Live

625 F avenue, lies at the county hos.
pital lowering between death and
life as the result of self inflicted
bullet wound Tegtneyer had recently
sold the property in which he lived
and upon possession being demanded
had refused to vacate.
Court action was resorted to. Con-
stable Gordon Newman visited the
man on Tuesday and told him that
he must vacate. Tegtneyer' is saiG
to have told the constable that IL
he would call on Wednesday at noon
he would find everything all right.
Newman delayed his call until about
q o'clock. on Wednesday and found
that Tegtneyer had shot himself
through the head. Officers stated
that the condition of the man IN
Dictated that he had attempted sui
eide at. the hour he expected the
cell from the constable
While the bullet had entered his
head directly above the ear and had
emerged above the other ear the
man was still alive and was rushed
to the county hospital, where it was
reported late last night he still lived,
although there was no nope for his
recovery.
Tegtneyer was a retired railroad
man. He had lived at the house
on F avenue for many years but
recently had been crippled and in
poor health. Officers state that he
apparently was greatly embittered
over the selling of the property, az
though the transaction had been car
ried on at his own behest and IS
apparently proper in every respect
They state that he seemed to be
laboring under the delusion that the
property still belonged 70 him even
after he had sold it and had re-
ceived payment.

Stlle old man in the handling of his

LONDON, Aug. "a QB-Eleven pas
sengers on a packed holiday Southern
railway train perished this evening
when the engine and all the coaches
jumped the tracks 20 miles southeast
Of London. Twenty others were seri-
ously injured, and many less severely
injured
There is no official explanation of
the disaster, but it is believed that the
heavy rains of recent weeks softened
the rail bed, causing the rails to
spread. The accident occurred between
Dunton Green and Seven Oaks, Kent,
half an hour after the train had left
London, proceeding to Deal.
While travelling at high speed, the
train began to rock, then left the rails.
The engine buried its nose in a way
