parts of hydrogen. If that lump of coal could somehow have 10 more parts of hydrogen forced into 1t, 1t would then have IS parts of hydrogen and would instantly lique- fy into petrol.
 And that, in essence, is what the plant does.
 The process is called ''hydroge- nation" simply because the addi- tional 10 parts of hydrogen required are taken from water. The water is converted into steam and raised to Q high temperature and sub- jected to pressure, with the result that 1t "decomposes" and, from the resultant gas, 10 parts of hydrogen are extracted and blown into the original sS parts of carbon and 5 parts of hydrogen, and the answer is petrol, gurgling through the lat- ter portion of the huge apparatus and flowing into pipes, which carry 1t down to the banks of the River Tees, where 1t Is stored until pumped aboard tankers.
 Coal First Is Cleaned
 First stage of the process is to clean the coal until 1t appears to contain not more than 2a per cent of ash. Then 1t is ground into pow der and mixed with oil, forming Q paste which is half oil and half coal. This paste is shot into an enormously strong coYltainer ai- ready containing hydrogen.
 In this container the mixture is subjected to enormous pressure 3,700 pounds per square inch. But it is still Q mixture, and not until the temperature is raised to $50 de- grees Fahrenheit does the chemical reaction" occur and the mass turn into oil. It is not, however, uni- form oil. Some is heavy, some me- diurn, some light. The heavy and medium oils are withdrawn and again treated in much the same way.
 About 5 per cent of the coal-and- oil paste refuses to react" chem ically. It Is withdrawn, stripped of It's oil, and the residue burned as fuel. Having proved refractory, it Is not worth bothering with for the purpose of oil conversion, but 1t is not wasted.
 There are other ways of making petrol. For example, benzol is now produced from British gas works and coke ovens.
 The output from the Billingham plant of I60,000 tons of petrol per annum Is nearly equal to that of all the other domestic producers of petrol combined.

Proclamation On "Armistice Day"

Whereas the eleventh day Of November 1918 marked the ces- sation of the World War: and
 Whereas by Senate concur. rent resolution 1S, Sixty-ninth congress (44 stat 1Ss2), the President was requested to issue . proclamation for the observ- ance of the recurring aniver. sary of this date, known as Armistice Day; and
 Whereas the senate concur. rent on this anniversary os the Armlstice that we should ex- press our determination to re. main at peace with all nations and our conviction that per. manent peace can and must be attained throughout the world:
 Now, therefore, I, Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the Uni. ted States of America, do here. by direct that the flag of the United States bc displayed on all government buildings on No. velnber ii, 1885, and do invite the people of the United States to observe the day with appro- priate ceremonies in schools, churches or other suitable places"

 The men: all masked, entered the bank At e:i6 Q. m. One stood guard at the door, . cloth-encased shotgun in one hand and revolver in the other, The other two went behind the counter and scooped up the money.
 Y. A. Eeyl, cashier, and Mrs. Eve. lyn Kern, Clark, were the only two persons in the bank ct the time. The bandits ordered them to lie down on the floor.

However, Sir Harry explained that it has to be Q certain kind of bituYninous coal and before other kinds may be commercially used, "much expensive research remains to be done" Notwithstanding that, the Billinghann plant alone will re- quire the constant services of 2,000 miners throughout the year, fur- nishing the 600,000 tons of coal which are converted into petrol and the 760000 tons required for general spurposes. Plant and laboratory getRffs are around 2.000. Produces 410 Tons Daily
 Daily output will be 40 tons, or sa23, 900 gallons.
 Macdonald stressed the fact that tho undertaking was purely Q de- fensive measure.
 "I see there is Q hullabaloo about .Nrmaments and warlike designs" he said. T need not tell you that so far as I am concerned, I am en- listed for peace and that have no trust in arms for the prevention of war.
 "But the requirements of defence are quite different matter. In the present state of the world, the patton that can defend itself is Q nation that can use every particle of its influence for peace.
 "Now Q command of oil is essen- tial for our defence. Of course, we could import 1t and store it. but that would be rather awkward for what is called our balance of trade. The prospects of finding oil in our own strata are not very bright, and 1t is comforting to know that ct . push we can manufacture 1t within pur own borders, and no one can say that in doing SO we are men. acing other countries"

Secretary Morgenthau, Governor
Eccles of the federal reserve board,
and the president himself. It is
another and vigorous attempt to
place all banking and credit control
in the hands of single federal
agency the federal reserve system,
with the secretary Of the treasury
directly in command. The purpose
is to enable the central bank thus
formed to issue orders to all banks
as to what they may lend and ON
what security, thus making credit
initiation possible on an almost UNI
limited scale. Instead of the liquid
ity, which has been the aim Of all
bankers since the crash Of 1929,
when their frozen loans" got them
into trouble, this bill would permit
and encourage commercial banks to
lend on long-term mortgages, to in
dustries and businesses for long
term working capital precisely the
opposite practice that has been
urged on them the past three years.
Down The Stretch
Senator Glass, who as the princi-
pal author of the federal reserve
act and as former secretary Of the
treasury, is held by many democrats
to be the best banking authority in
America, has already come out OUT
spokenly against the new banking
bill. He is prepared to wage the
fight Of his career against the adj
ministration's plan, and the betting
is at least even, If not slightly bet
ter, that he will win out. The fight
will be between a veteran senator Of
proved fighting qualities and a pres
ident of whose stamina in pitched
battle neither congress or the ma
ton has had any experience as yet.
There isn't any question that a
great many congressman and a
larger proportion of senators have
been stung by the criticisms direct
ed against Capitol Hill as a whole,
and are ready to sieze any substan-
tian preteXt for displaying their in
dependence.
There Is no special significance
in the removal of Jerome Frank and
his followers from the AAA. Secre-
tary Wallace has learned how to
run his own department. and he and
Chester Davis, AAA administrator,
are pulling together as never be-
fore. Mr.. Wallace, moreover, has
learned q lot about congressional
policies and how to play them.

Need Is Shown
For Coulee Power
Electric Supply Will Not Be
Adequate In Few Years,
Engineer Declares

SPOKANE, Feb. Is (SpeciaD cat
the present rate of increase in power
consumption Washington will be
consuming it's present installed
capacity Of electric energy by 1041,
when the first power will be avail
able at the Grand Coulee DAM" G.
F. Uhden, power market engineer
for the Columbia Basin commission,
made this announcement today in
connection with the power market
report he is preparing on the Grand
Coulee project. Mr.. Uhden has just
completed some interesting charts
relative to power consumption
throughout the state and nation.
There Is every indication that
President Roosevelt is correct in his
program of preparing the nation to
meet the big demand for hydro
electric power" said Mr.. Uhden,
because present conditions
throughout the state and nation
forecast a new high record in the
demand for electric power" The
Uhden charts on national power
consumption start with 1919, when
consumption was $4,000. COO, 900 XVIII
>During the following 10 years there
was steady, rapid increase until a
record consumption of 97.352.O OO. 0G0
XVIII was reached in 1923. The ma
tional power consumption started to
decline in 1880 and continued to
| fall until 1892 when 1t reached a low
consumption at $4,000, 100000 XVIII.
I'm 1884 we find a gain in con-
sumption of 81, 163, 100000 XVIII. II
this rate of increase cintinueS until
| 1941, when the first power will be
available at the Grand Coulee dam,
the present installed horsepower
capacity will not be sufficient to
meet the demands of the nation, .
said Mr.. Uhden. ''The chart for
washington shows 1884 leading the
peak year of 1929 in power con-
sumption. Consumption in this
state in 1920 was 2,552,000,0cO XVIII.
In 1884 it jumped to the new record
of 2,635 ,66O, 900 XVIII and is steadily
increasing" continued Mr.. linden,
"No one can predict the record
power consumption will make when
electric energy is made available to
the consumers at reasonable rates
No one can dispute the desire Of the
American people to use electricity
because that is shown by the in
creased use of electrical appliances
| in our domestic and commercial
llife."

Activities Are Told
By T. B. League
Executive Committee Of County
Organization Holds Regular
Meeting;

The regular monthly meeting of
the executive committee OF the Ok
anogan County Tuberculosis League
was held in the courtroom at OK
anogan Monday evening, February
A, according to a report issued by
Mrs. P. T. Harris. president, ana
Mrs. j. D. Bassett, who acted as
secretary at the session.
Present were Mrs. Harris and
Mrs. Bassett, Mrs. Robert Farms
worth, Mrs. Lyle Br1nRerhoff, Mrs.
Spencer Goodrich, Mr.. and Mrs. II.
A. Davis, Homer Davis, all members
of the executive committee; Mrs.
Lucille S. Burghardt, director, w. G.
Malott and E. F. Taylor, commits
Sioners.
Discussion brought out the fact
that 100000 budgeted In the Ind1-
gent fund for the salary OF the
county nurse is the only county
money available for the support OF
the work of the nurse during 1885.
The executive committee agreed to
supplement this amount sufficiently
to carry on the work as 1t has beeN
done in the past, in full cooperation
with the county commissioners.
There was also discussion about
other matters of mutual interest in
regard to the conduct of the nurses
office.
| During the meeting Mrs. FARMS
worth reported on seal sale, showing
that returns so far are in excess of
1888. The reports of the county
nurse, Miss Katherine PruSack,
were read by Mrs. Harris.

PROPERTY TAXES PAY SMALL
PART OF EXPENDITURES

STATEIIOUSE, Olympia, Feb. 81
-G eneral overnment> expen-
ses absorbed less than one-half Of
one percent of real and personal
property taxes collected during the
1924 biennium, an analysis of
state RECEIPTS by State Auditor Cliff
Yelle disclosed today.
Real and personal property taxes
contributed 1881 per cent of state
receipts during the year April /,
1882 to March l, 1888, and 11.61 per
cent for the period April l, 1888 to
March 81, 1884.
Only .OO4 per cent of these re-
ceipts went toward general govern
ment the first period, while .0037
per cent was diverted for the same
purpose the second year.
Gasoline taxes contributed the
major portion of revenue received
by the state during the biennium,
followed by real and personal prop
erty tax receipts the first year. Sale
Of emergency relief bonds brought
in more money proporttonately in
taxes the second year, Yelle'S COM
pilation showed.
The federal government through
aids in road projects and by other
contributions to the educational in
situations and soldiers homes, fur
nished 9.24 per cent OF the states
income during the first year and
8.39 per cent during the last year.
"The wide variance OF sources of
receipts and the small proportionate
direct taxes contributed by real
and personal property owners was
noteworthy" Yelle said. Fees, IL
censes, sales Of property and inter-
ests on investments all contributed
to state government"
Out of the property tax levy con-
tributions totaling $3,833,532 re-
ceived by the state during the first
year for all purposes, only $121 ,0c5
or 3.16 per cent went to general
government, $973, 459 or $3.50 per
cent went to bond redemption, and

LOCATION OF PUBLIC LANDS
INDICATED ON NEW MAPS

PULLMAN, Feb. 27-The location
Of all public domain in the state of
Washington is shown on new map
prepared by E. F. Landerholm,
state land planning consultant. The
public land amounting to nearly
100000 acres in Washington, was
withdrawn from entry by order of
President Roosevelt early in Febru-
airy this year. A similar map, show
ing the state-oWned land is now un-
der way and these two maps will be
used in determining areas of pub
lcly owned land that might be ex-
changed with the state and blocked
up for more efficient management
and administration.
A few areas of public domain land
are found inaccessible parts Of the
west coast counties, but most OF
these lands are scattered through
out central and eastern Washing
ton. Public domain lands are those
that have never been homesteaded
and for the most part, these lands
are of no agricultural valaue.
Recently the public domain was
closed to demonstrating as it is be-
lieved that practically all land I'll
for cultivation has been taken up. A
classification of the lands is plan
ned and when it has been complet-
ed these lands will be put to theil
best uses.
Public domain and state owned
lands are scattered throughout tn
state in small parcels in a checker
board pattern. Certain Legislation
is now being considered that vii
enable the state and the fedora
government to exchange lands O
equal value so these publicly owned
lands may be blocked up into unit
large enough to be more efficientl.
administered.
