No Slump in Gasoline

No longer is it true that when
automobile production declines gaso-
line consumption follows. The new
car is a temptation for more and
longer trips but the old bus or used
car was hardly a d~iscouraging fac
tor this year.
Although fewer motor vehicles are
registered this year than last more
gasoline is being consumed this year.
Since early in the year gas consump-
ton has been ahead Of the 1880
volume.
Several differences are possible.
Late models may be getting fewer
miles to the gallon. Consumption in
creases with age. More bus and truck
miles are being run up. While all
these probably were contributing fac
tors, the bulk of the additional gal
Ions must be chalked up to a wider
use of the automobile.
Automobile touring IN the trans
continental and interstate scale un-
doubtedly fell off sharply this year
due to the depression, but there
seems to have been more motoring
than ever. Certainly, there was 40
diminution in traffic congestion.
From this 1t is to be deduced that,
in spite of the depression and UNI
employment, most persons still have
gas money and that many have taken
advantage of their enforced leisure
to enjoy their cars to the fullest.
While the automobile is no longer
a rich mans luxury, but is rather
a necessary part of the country's
transportation system, it is encourag-
ing to know that there is still money
and activity enough in the land 10

New York, Dec. pa fever Of
gambling, marked by unfamiliar and

Sharpers have r%eappeared, as if
out of a magician's trunk; "tin-
horns" who seemed to have vanished
into the past, are back again.
Some of them have long been

years of training in the airless, half

And backgammon Is a game in which
dice play a prominent part. Trick" dice
and slick" throwing are factors in the
seemingly polite backgammon games.
Just a few weeks ago it became
known that a certain slicker had been

private clubs. One victim was re-
ported to have dropped $685. 900 in a

His information, it was said, came
from several others who had taken
it on the chin-and for big sums

Backgammon and contract are IA

twist that allows gambling. The

It's all a hangover from those

tell you. From margin checks to big

still in the blood-so you'll hear.
And you'll hear some folks say that
the depression has something to do
with it. Thousands of those who
lived in the battle-ground Of wealth
and whose incomes have been sliced,
are trusting to chance to increase
their income. They tilted their scale
of living when things were good and
now take desperate measures to keep
up their bluff.

Year.end

Most people will feel like saying
goodbye to 1881 without regret. 1t is
a parting guest gladly speeded.
Everybody is saying that the end Of
the year is a time for forgetting the
things that are behind" But even
while turning a hopeful face to the
future, as we all should do today ami
tomorrow, we cannot be unmindful
of what the recent past has taught
us.
Certainly the country has not been
so dull q scholar as not to have
learned many things in the dear
school" Of experience. Fundamental
truths in economies andssome elemen-
tary principles in politics have been
taught with such force, with such
vivid illustration from hard facts,
that they cannot be ignored in the
future unless W Americans are guilty
Of the folly Of breaking a leg twice
over the same stone. No appraisal OF
the year closing now can be adequate
without taking these things into the
account. In reality they contribute
to a strengthening Of confidence as
we face 1882. In the twelvemonth

about falling again into what we nov
see to have been the insensate and

On Dec. %, 1917, British forces
drove the Turk back two miles on a
13-mile front north of Jerusalem and
captured five towns.
Towns captured by the British were:
RaS Arkus, Els Suffa, A~nataerram,
Kulundia, and Beitunia.
General Allenby advanced his Brit
ish-Egyptian army, supported by
French, Italian and Arab auxiliaries,
against the increasing resistance of
the Turk.
Between the time of the loss of
Jerusalem and the Turks retreat
along the Jericho and Naballa Roads,
a dozen miles beyond the Holy City,
the Turk suffered heavy losses in
killed and wounded.
BY Dec. 20, 1917, all Belgium and
northern France were under deep

.. Not long ago people throughout the
country we're aroused by an epidemic
| of parrot fever, scientifically called
"psittacosis." This disease is trans
mitted by birds, particularly parrots,
but also by parrakeets. love birds, and
canaries. A bird that is apparently
well may transmit the infection, but
in most instances the parrot will seem
to be ill, and it is the attempted care
of q very fond owner that usually re-
suits in the owner acquiring the in
lection from the bird.
It takes from six to is days after
contact with the source of the infec-
ton for the disease to develop in a
human being. The disease begins
with a chilly sensation, fever, head
ache. and early involvement of the
lungs. The tongue has a white coat,
there is loss of appetite, and the pulse
is usually low in relationship to the
height of the fever. Sometimes the
onset of the disease is SO rapid and
the toxemia so great that the person
develops a deliriun1.
\ X X
People of any age may develop this
disease, but most Of the cases seem to
have occurred in older people, prob
ably because children pay little atten-
ton to a sick parrot, whereas their
parents and older people show the
type of solicitude that has been men
toned. For the same reason women
have the disease much more frequent
ly than do men, except in laboratories
where investigation of the disease is
being carried or and where the labor
atory workers come down with it.
As has been said, an apparently
healthy bird can transmit the disease
to a human being, but there is no EVIL
