Draper.)\nLONDON, Oct. 24.\u2014Verdun, whero\ntho German -crown prince sacrificed\n600,000 men In vain, Is now the sceno\nof a powerful'French offensive.\nSmashing through a front of four\nmiles, petaln's troops havo captured\npositions on tho right bank of tho\nMeuse for a depth of two miles. The\nvillage and fort of Dou au Mont, which\nhave changed hands many times since\nthe German drive began in February,\nthe Thlaumont work and farm, strongholds of the Teuton advanced line, and\nthe Haudremont quarries north of\n^Thlaumont have fallen before tho\nFrench onslaught.\nMore than 3500 prisoners havo already been passed back by the French\ntroops and the action is still in progress. Large quantities of supplies\n.were captured In the charge, for the\nj, suddenness with which it was carried\nrout .gav^thn ..Germans. .lHtle time io\n\u2022'withdraw their guns and material to\nthe rear.\nTho victory won on tho Terrain that\nf has soon somo of the bloodieBt fighting\n];iot the war and won despite tho maze\nof fortifications that covers the Verdun front, ls a welcome antidote to\ntho Teuton victories agninst the Rumanians. It is evident that Macken-\nssen and Falkonhayn cannot draw\ntroops from other fronts to battle for\nBucharest. It* Is an omen of renewed\nallied pressure against the kaiser's\nlines in the west.\nGunt Start Aotion.\nWith daybreak the Frcne'h guns be-\nfran to bathe the German trenches with\nshells. Recent visitors to Petaln's\nheadquarters have reported that the\nil French artillery on this front was flr-\n'-j ing 50 shots to one for the Germans.\nJ The execution the bombardment did\nWin the enemy's lino tends to^'provo the\n: statement.\nSoon before noon the Pollus sprang\nto the attack. Then began a series of\nassaults that swept through the first\nGerman line and beyond into the fori\nof Dou au Mont and thc village. Meanwhile the right wing was moving toward Vaux, a position as much disputed as Dou au Mont. Here thoy rench-\npd tho outskirts of the village.\nr On the left wing, nearer thc river,\ntho rush was irresistible. It swept\nthrough the Thlaumont work and farm,\nlying ln low land dominated by ridges\nto the north, into and beyond Haudremont quarries, which have been converted Into a veritable fortress, and\nastride tho road from Dou au Mont to\nBras,\nMet Weak Resistance.\nThus in a few hours the French havo\nregained positions that it took the\nGermans months to wrest from them.\nThe resistance they met was comparatively weak. This may have been due\nto tho fact that thc kaiser's general\nhave withdrawn troops to the Somme\nfront or It may have been due to tho\ni efficiency of the artillery preparation.\nAt any rate, the last fragment of the\ncrown prince's dream hns crumbled.\nThe purposo the Verdun offensive\nserves is twofold. It puts Increased\n> pressure on the German forces and it\nmakes tho task on other fronts easier.\nAnother end it may ultimately serve,\nIs in preparing the way for a new\ndrive for Metz.\nThe German line in this sector, it\nmust be remembered is a sharp salient\nwith its tip at St. Mihlel. Until this\nwedge is wiped out a French push\neastward is almost impossible. By\nbreaking through the Gorman line\nnorth of Verdun tho French can flank\nthe enemy's position at St. Mihlel and\nso force Its evacuation.\nAffect Somme Operation!.\nThe immediate effect of the attack on the Meuso will he on tho\nSomme operations. With thc Balkan\nmovement ln full swing it seems hnrd-\nlyllkely that the -kaiser's generals can\nmuster enouhg men to withstand two\ngreat offensives on the western front.\nWhen the thrusts for Peronne and\nBapaume aro resumed this pressure\nwill he ut a maximum.\nTJ^jcesumptlon of tho Somme of-\nt'ensivts cannot be Torig'delayed it Is\nbelieved here. To offset this the Germans are shelling the enemy's lino\nsteadily between thc Ancre and the\nSomme. A formidable eountcr-offen-\nsivo was planned military observers\nhere assert but tho new Verdun attack mny interfere seriously wilh this\nplan.\nLittle action has taken place along\nthe Somme. Berlin telling of the repulse of heavy allied attacks on both\nsides of the river describes the great\nlosses of tho entente troops. But outside of artillery actions neither London\nnor Paris reports any operations.\nThe lull here cannot continue observers say. Only by pressure against the\nTeutons at all possible points can the\nRumanian situation be relieved. Tho\nVerdun offensive is thc first move In\nthat direction.\nOffensive Is Opened,\nLONDON, Oct. 24.\u2014Switching their\noffensive from tho Somme region In\nFrance\u2014possibly 'us a counter to the\nadvance of the Teutonic allies in the\nDobruja region of Rumaniu\u2014the\nFrench havo smashed at thc German\nlino north and northeast of Verdun\nover a front of 4 1-3 miles, penetrating it along Its entire length. In the\ncentre gaining a distance of nearly\ntwo miles.\nPreceded by a violent bombardment,\nsuch as marked the great attacks and\ncounter-attacks during'the days when\ntho Verdun operations were of world\ninterest, the offensive was delivered\napproximately from the eastern bank\nof tho Mouse, near Bras, eastward to\ntho Damloup battery.\nHold All Positions.\nWhen night fell thc village and fort\nof Don an Mont, in the centre, were\nIn the hands of the French, while, un\ntheir left wing, tho Kroijeh had pushed beyond Thlaumont and captured the\nHaudremont quarry and taken up positions along the Brns-Dou au Mont\nroad. On their right wing considerable\nprogress also bad Uootl made from\nDou au Mont to Damloup. Mora than\n3500 prisoners and quantities of war\nmaterial were captured by the French.\nMilitary experts here point out that\nthe French success at Verdun has rc-\n(Contlnued on Page Two.)\nGERMANS PLANNING\nOFFENSIVE ON\nGrowing Intensity of Bombardment\nIndicates Effort to Regain Lost\nGround Is To Be Made\n(By Dully News Leased Wire.)\nPARIS, Oct. 24.\u2014La Liberte's\ncorrespondent on the front in\nnorthern France says that the\ngrowing intensity of the bombardment between the Ancre and the\nSomme indicates that the Germans\nare preparing for another attempt\nto remedy a situation which is becoming more critical for them\neach day.\nEmperor William, adds the cor*\nrespondent, haa even been reported to be at Bapaume personally\noverseeing the preliminary for the\nformidable counter-offensive in\nview, for which the German army\non the Somme front is said to have\nreceived strong reinforcements in\ninfantry and more especially in\nartillery.\nMORE VESSELS ARE\nSIR RY GERMANS\nLoss of Three Norwegian Steamers\nand Norwegian Bark Added to\nList of Recent Attacks.\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nLONDON, Oet. 2!).\u2014The Norwegian\nsteamers Secondo and Gronhaug have\nbeen sunk, says u Router's despatch\nfrom Christiana.\nThe Gronhaug's crew was rescued.\nTho Norwogian steamer Kdum, 2195\ntons, tho despatch adds, has been\nseized and taken to Kmtlen, Germany.\nLloyd's shipping agency reports that\ntho Norwegian bark Gunn, 4S3 tons has\nbeen burned toy the Germans nnd thc\ncrow landed.\nAvallnblo shipping records do not\nmention thc Norwegian steamers Secondo and Gronhnug.\nDanish Boats Attacked\nLONDON, Oct. 25.\u2014Lloyd's announces that thc Danish steamer\nGulborg has been torpedoed and that\nthe Danish schooner Libra hns been\nset on fire by a Germnn submarine.\nThe crews of both stonmers were\nlanded.\nThere are two Danish steamers\nnamed Guldborg, one of 1509 tons and\nthe other of 13S tons.

The Dou au Mont\nposition consisted of the\" villages of\nDou au Mont, a redoubt and the fort\nof Dou au Mont, running from west to\neast along tho plateau of the same\nname nbout \\\\<> miles north of the fort\nof Verdun.

Feb. 2fi the Germans, after the\nfirst three days' righting of the Verdun battle managed to gnln a foothold\nin Four Dou au Mont. Four days later it was finally captured so far as\nthis first stage of the battle was concerned.\nScene of Fighting,\n^The fort remained a hotly contested\nspot until May 22, when the French\ncarried out an Infantry attack which\nwill rank among the historic episodes\nof the war, and resulted ln the recapture of the fort. Two days later they\nwere driven from It by an overwhelming number of men, the weight of the\nattack then mnde by the enemy carrying them right Into the village of Cu-\nmleres.\nThe present drive has apparently\ntaken place over a front of about five\nmiles. Already It has penetrated to a\ndepth of nearly two miles and nt some\npoints probably to a greater distance.\nTho total forward movement of the\nGermans between Feb. 21 and 26 totaled about five miles, so that the recovery of tho ground when lost hns only\ncommenced.

Tho\nquestion of substitutes for copper is\nbeing seriously weighed in many quarters. A Swiss engineer estimates that\naluminum may compete with cbpper\nin the manufacture of overhead wires\nso long as the price of aluminum is\nnot more than l.so times that of copper. There arc mechanical difficulties, nf course, but they havo been\novercome, As regards zinc, wire was\nhardly used until a few yenrs ago and\nzino v.li(, is not so rcllablr n\u00ab iron\nwire There may bo hollows and brittle\nportions in an apparently uniform zinc\nwlro, and tbo wiro should in its making not bo boated up to 100 degrees C.\nfor lung periods, icst Its strength und\npliability suffer. Really hot steam\nis directly dangerous to zinc, and zinc\nwires .should not be suspended In\ndamp, hot atmospheres. On the whole,\ntho metal can hardly be recommended\nfor overhead lines, It may be used\nwhen properly protected, however, and\nbus bars of zinc arc feasible; they\nshould be guarded against damp contact with other metals, and bo covered with varnish In such eases. To a\ncertain extent zinc wire Is used in distribution cables by German electricians\nat present. The objection to iron wiro\nls not so much the low conductivity itself as the fact that resistance to alternating current -is, owing to the\nskin effect, influenced by tho current\nintensity and frequency.\nLILLOOET DISTRICT IS\nATTRACTING INVESTOR8\nConsiderable activity in mining circles is noticeable lately at Bridge River, In the Llllooot district, and F.

The significance of his decision to come out into\nthe open and repudiate the pro-German element which has been lambasting Wilson on purely anti-entente\ngrounds lies in the evidence It adduces us to the opinion the Republican\nParty managers have formed of tbe\n\u25a0sentiment of the great majority of the\nAmerican people.\nIt is now on record thnt neither\npresidential candidate in tbc United\nStates feels that he can afford to\nallow the American public to suspect\nhim of entering to the pro-German\nelement.\ntheir public Indebtedness.

To\ncauses arising out of the war this condition is attributed.

D., In the\nBoston Transcript, of a Russian playwright, whose works ure just being\nintroduced to American playgoers. The\npersonages of this philosophical harte;\nquinade are the conventional types ot\nthe comedla dell 'nrte. Harlequin,\nColumbine, Pierrot; tliere are, too, a\nDoctor and Death. To be sure, there\nIs nothing new in the philosophy, any\nmore than in the figures, yet to both\nthe writer imparts a certain new flavor, a contemporary application,\nThe curtain discovers Harlequin\nasleep, Pierrot, chasing the flies from\nthe sleeper's face, turns to tbe audience and commences a prologue that\nls a personal address to every Individual In tbe uudience;\n\"Shbh! Quiet! Tako your seats\nquietly and try to talk .and turn in\nyour seats less. Even If \"an ingenuous\nfriend has dragged you In and yourself are too serious to be interested\nin a harlequinade, it's quite superfluous to hint of it to tho public, which\nIn the main has no affair with your\npersonal tastes. Besides, Harlequin's\nasleep\u2014you see him! Shhl I'll explain\nit all to you afterwards. But don't\nwake him up, please! And when Columbine comes on, don't applaud her\nlike mad, just in order to show that\nyou know her, and can appreciate certain talents.\"\nPierrot then explains thnt he doesn't\nfear any Intrigue between his wife\nColumbine and Harlequin; yet his\nmanner denotes the opposite. Harlequin, moreover is to die at midnight,\nand here it Is already 8 o'clock. Suddenly Pierrot thinks of u great plan;\nhe will push back tbe hands of the\nclock two hours! I always liked taking\npeople In; but when it's a matter of\ntaking in death and Harlequin nt tbe\nsame time, and as well, for the harm of\nthe first and tlie good of the second,\nI don't think you can call this plan\nanything 'but a (geniuses. Well, to\nwork! The performance begins!\"\nIt quickly appears that Harlequin,\nwith the footsteps of Death echoing\nIn every bent of tbo clock. Is determined to meet that lady in most merry\nmood. \"I am Harlequin,\" he cries,\n\"und shall die Harlequin!\" True to\nbis word he proceeds to make morry\nwith Pierrot's Columbine, even to argue with her about the hereafter, and\nwhen Death enters, pointing with men-\nace to the clock, he pokes fun at the\ngrim figures. \"Look round,\" he challenges Death, \"you are in the house\nof Harlequlln, where one can laugh\nat all that's tragic, not evpn excluding your gestures.\" He invites her\nto perform tho traditional Dance of\nDeath, which she does. A lust kiss to\nColumbine, a parting jibe at Pierrot's\ncowardice,'and Harlequin is dead.\nPierrot's epilogue Is even more impudent than bis prologue,\n\"I really don't know whnt 1 ought to\nbewail first: The loss of Harlequin,\nthe loss of Columbine, my own bitter\nlot, or yours, dear audience, who have\nwitnessed tho performance of such an\nunserlous author., And. what did he.\n'w*nt to say in his piece?\u2014I don't understand. By the way, I'm silly, cowardly pierrot. but it's not for me to\ncriticize the piece In which I played\nan unenviable role. But your astonishment will Increase still moro when\nyou know that I've been told to say\nin conclusion hy the culprit of this\u2014\nwell, between ourselves\u2014this strange\nmockery of the public.

I for got to\ntell you that neither your appla use\nnor your hissing of thc piece is likely\nto be taken seriously by the author,\nwho preaches thut nothing in life Is\nIn be taken seriously. And I suggest\nthat If tho truth Is on his side, then\nyou should hardly take his piny seriously, all the moro as Harlequin has\nprobably risen from his deathbed already, and perhaps Is already tidying\nhimself In anticipation of a call, because, suy what you like, but tho actors can't be responsible for the free-\nthinking of the author.\" (Exit.)\nThis Shavian mockery nnd stage-\negoism Is characteristic of 4he dramatist.

The city manager has a free hand and a job of his\nown. He therefore can buy things\ncheaper, hire and keep more capable\nmen, and help them turn out results.\nThe citizens (or shareholders) can\nsee whSt he is accomplishing In the\nvisible condition of the public property\nsuch as streets, sewers, parks, etc.;\ncan check the accomplishment ngainst\ntho costs, as kept m accurate accounts\nand revealed In clear nnd brief reports.\nThen they can back him up and get\nhim fired as need is. Tbe politicians\ncannot undermine the active civic\npower by dividing responsibility,\ncreating Independent offices and confused jurisdictions, but must, either\nkeep their hands off or else buck the\ntask of firing the head of the town.\nAmerican common sense has asserted\nItself, and the new method will stick.\n(Wide-awake citizens mny apply for\ndetailed Information to Mr. O. E. Cnw\\\ncity manager, Niagara Fulls, N. Y., or\nto the Bureau of Municipal Research,\nNow York City.) As the years go by\nwe will have plenty of cases of trained men starting as managers of tank\nvillages and rising to run big cities\nwith pay and recognition proportionate to their work. A lot of the dynamic energy now being trained In\nour engineering schools will be turned directly into making our towns\nbettor plnces in which to live.

Oats sained 1%\nto l%c and provisions 7c to $1.40.\nDeclines were largely the result of\nunsettled weather In Argentina, pointing to a possible break-up of thc\ndrought, which has brought about serious crop damage there. Assertions\nwere also current that the Argentine\ndamage had been to some degree exaggerated. A big falling off In the\nKuropean visible supply us compnred\nwith a week ago, however, gave an\nadvantage to the bulls and was lator\nemphasized by the fact, thut the world\nsupply total showed for the first time\nin mouths something of a decrease.\nNevertheless no unusual upward jump\nin prices took plucd, until word came\nthat export business of tho day would\naggregate as much as 2,500,000 bushels.. Highest quotations of the sea-\nsou followed, not only for wheat, but\nalso for the entire grain list, in connection with the Immense sales of\nwhent to Europe, the fact was pointed\nout that primary receipts in the Culled States were less thnn half as large\nas n year ago.\nOats rose In sympathy with grains\nand because of the high export sales.\nThe amount nf oats taken today by\nEurope was estimated at 1,000,000\nbushels.\nSpeculative buying led to excited\nupturns in the provision market. There\nwere intimations of large export orders being filled, but the rumors were\nnot confirmed. Offerings proved unusually scarce.\n131ST NEW WESTMINSTER\nREGIMENT TO BE REVIEWED\n(By Daily Nows Loused Wire.)\nOTTAWA. Oot, 24.\u2014The 131st New\nWestminster regiment, commanded by\nCol. J\", D.

Mlliukoff, the Russian opposition\nlender, reported ill the Journal, together with tho news of the Bulgarian advance along the right bank of the\nDanube has evoked from the Jqurnal\ndes Debates a further protest, similar\nto the protests \\vhlch appeared In\nmany French papers of late, against\ncertain Bulgophil tendencies which It\nregards as still existent In some entente circles.\nIn an article that had obviously suffered severely at the hands of.the censor, the Paris organ maintained that\nIt was worse than Ignorance for M.\nMllloukoff to Insist upon differentiating between the king of Bulgaria und\nhis people, nnd evidently would have\nhad a good deal lo day if it had\nbeen allowed to on his reference to the\nlcgltumacy of Bulgaria's demands, for\na long, blank space followed Its italicized quotation of thnt portion oif tho\nInterview. If one thing is certain in\nthe history of this war, it wrote, It\nIs the solidarity of Ihe bulk of the Bulgarian people and its king. The exceptions tire rare, fluctuating and conditional. The good.sense of a handful\nof men cannot exonerate a whole people from the responsibilities of a policy.' .... -Since 1908 ut least; bad\nfaith has beeh'thfi anlmtra'of Bulge\nfail diplomacy. It . Is extraordinary\nthat a man like Al. Mllloukoff has not\nyet perceived that to. be. the case.\n, Turning to the situation ut the mo-\nment, the .Journal des Debuts ooserv--\ned: The taking of Turtukai is nptjU^j\ngreat military evdnt, but It is a goo*a ]\ndiplomatic lesson. .... The Bulgarians, indlssolubly bound to the j\nGermans unq the,Turks, feel themselves ut bay and* in mortal peril. At all j\ncosts they want-to gain time, Although Rumania did not consider hqr-\nself obliged to declare war on them at\nthe same time as on Austria-Hungary.\nthey have pounced rapidly on the\nweakest point of the Rumanian frontier. . . . . It Is an operation IP- ]\ntettded to Intimidate the Rumanians. J\nand It is also a manifestation of 1\nstrength for our benefit. It Is a way (\nof saying to us: See, we are stronger J\nthan you thought; you would do better to come to terms with ua. Here j\nthe censor again intervened, but after a considerable interval the, Des-\nbats was allowed to resume the .thread J\nof its argument, thus: Most.essential j\ninterests of France, of Ettropo, and J\nof tho world are at stake at this moment; It would be criminal to com- I\npromise them by dllitory fantasies. \"Wo j\nmust determine to reduce the Bulgarians by force, and by force alone.\nThis is the only sanction of theirs that j\nIs ndmissable\nPROMOTER\nSLANTS\nTO MOST 15^ CIGARS\nSome Tobacconists will try\nto sell you other Cigars\u2014\nWHY?\nK\ni\nSimply because there is less profit\nto them on \"PROMOTER\" at three\nfor a quarter.\nS.

With few exceptions,\nhe declared, these men were of the\nopinion that there was a string attached to Canadian loyalty somewhere.\nMr. Johnstone related the following\nincident as an example: A certain\nbusiness man in a southern city, he\nsaid, in speaking of the war was\ncurious to know what Canada would\n\"get out of it\" when peace was declared. \"You Canadians,\" ho said,\n\"have done a mighty lot to help England and I suppose that when the war\nIs over you will get your Independence\nand liberty.\"\nAnother Instance of misconception\nof Canada's position, be said, incurred\nin the reply given by a southern woman to Mrs. Johnstone's explanation\nthat few men were now left in Canada\nwith the exception of those who were\neither too old for service or medically\nunfit and a few slackers, the remainder having gone to the front. The\nreply was: \"Dear me, isn't that too\nbad. Poor fellows, wasn't there some\nway in which they could get out of\nIt?\"\nPK.G\nWO!\n\\ Social and Personal |\nO.

Meline, the\nFrench minister for agriculture, hns\nissued a circular to the prefects Indicating the preliminary measures which\nare necessary if the proposed law relating to the cultivation of waste land\nIs to be rendered effective ln the autumn agricultural campaign. In reply\nto some of thc objections raised by the\nopponents to the law, such as that It\nInfringes the rights of owners, and resembles agrarian socialism, M. Meline\nsays: No one can deny today that the\nfeeding of the civil population and of\nthe army Is primarily a question of\nnational defense, an essentinl condition\nof the prolongation of our reslstence\ntill victory Is won.\nNothing will be easier, however, it\nls pointed out, than for those who so\ndesire to evade the requirements of\nthe law by saying that circumstances\nover which they had no control have\nobliged them to abandon their land.\nThe main object of the proposed measure, therefore Is to render effective\naction possible to many who are At\npresent more or less helpless In the\nmatter, the law will enable Individuals\nto entrust thc practical direction of\nthe farming to the agricultural committees of the communes, which are\ncomposed of well known local agriculturists, who wilt be able to deal more\neffectively with the situation, although\nas M. Meline points out,, they will be\nhelpless unless the municipal councils\ncan procure for them every necossary\nfor actual cultivation, such as draft\nteams, machinery and loans of money.\nThe proposed law gives these municipal authorities the right to requisition such things as are needed, and to\nbuy and even hire machines.\nThc whole, question, tho Journal observes, Is all the more Important, because after the war, recourse will have\nto be made to intense cultivation. The\nuse of agricultural machinery by the\ncommunes and agricultural commit\ntees, It adds, will make possible the\ncultivation of most of the waste land\nln the country, and these public bodies wilt be able to obtain from the military authorities much more easily\nthan could isolated agriculturists, all\ntbe facilities for manual labor which\naro now controlled entirely by the latter.\nTwenty thousand members of the\nJesuit order arc fighting in France\nugainst the Huns.\nLieut, Herbert Whitehead, formerly\nhead bartender at the Alberta hotel,\nCalgary, was killed in action..\nTho Bank of Commerce hns open\nod a branch at Ponce Coupe in the\nPence River country.\nOwing to the Scarcity of Wood\nthe laok of men to out wood and the resultant high wages\ndemanded by wood cutters, we have had to increase the price of\nwood 60 oent. par oord.

Tho chairman speaking on\nthe impression thnt. was abroad regarding tbe wages earned hy workers\nsaid that the vast majority of tho\nworkers wero earning less wages than\nthev were In 1914. He had been tho\nmeans of getting -i-00 workers Into\nmunition works, and 300 of them were\nnot enrning more than 45s. per week.\nConsidering the manner in which tbo\ngovernment had dealt with tho question of tbe railways, thop roblem of\nfood prices ought not to be difficult\nto tackle.\nA resolution wns proposed declaring\nthat the government bad failed to give\nproper attention to tho serious grievances of the masses of tho people\narising from the enormous ond unjustifiable Increase In the cost of coal,\nfood nnd all other necessaries, and\ncalling upon tho Labor party to enforce upon the government tho urgent necessity of Immediate steps be-\nInir taken to secure nn adequate revision of prices, either by fixing a\nmaximum or taking full control of tbo\nsupplies In the Interest of the people,\nln order that further exploitation may\nbe brought to nn end. I\nRtenben Walsh. M. P., who supported Ihe resolution, spoke on the coal\nnrfees limitntlon net. Thc net, he declared, wns a thin* of shreds nnd patches, because it made no attempt to\nile-il with the middleman. He was not\nthere to blame tbc middleman, hut one\ncould ouile se\u00ab that while parliament\ncould verv effectively limit the price\nat the nlthend. unless there wns some\nnttemnt to limit the powers of tho\nmiddleman the difficulty was not mot.\nTherefore the workers said: \"Limit\nthe omnloyer first, but do not stop\nthere. Tackle the middleman also.\"\nAs it was. the middleman was left en-\n\u25a0Hrpiy free, and a good deal of the trou-\nhlP hnd arisen from that fact.

In January the\nprice was 13s. iid., and in May 13s. lid.\nuetoie the act the selling price was\n\u00bb8: td.

C\u2014Legislation\nby congress prohibiting tho Interstate\ntransportation of gasollhe that does\nnot measure up to a federal standard\ntest, and establishment of a nationwide federal inspection servlco to see\nthat such laws are enforced and tho\npublic protected from inferior products\naro cautiously proposed In a statement\nissued on Wednesday by the bureau\nof standards. The public should not\nbe misled, tho statement suys, by current reports to thc effect that the bureau Is about to standardize gasoline\nso that any motorist can readily detect whether he was getting tho right\nkind of fuel. It will never be possible\nfor the non-technical layman to loll\nwhat kind of gasoline he Is getting,\nthe statement says, In an effort to\ncorrect a misapprehension and tho only protection of the public will bc in\ntechnical Inspection.\n\"In the curly days of tho petroleum\nIndustry,\" snys the bureau, \"when all\nour gasolines, kerosenes, fuel nils nnd\nlubricating oils were dorlved from one\nsource, viz., Pennsylvania crude petroleum, a simple measurement of the\nspecific gravity, or what amounts to\nthe snme thing, the Bnume number, by\nmoans of a hydrometer, served as a\nfairly rellablo Indication of the qualities of these products. Today, however, the specific gravity test ls practically worthless as a check on the\nsuitability of a gasoline, for example,\nfor a given motor equipment. The\nreason why this Is so ls that many\nnow oil fields have been opened up in\nrecent years that yield petroleums of\nvery different physical and chemical\nproperties, and new methods of manufacture havo been Introduced that\nyield products having very different\nproperties in no way related to tho\nspecific gravities.\n\"Tho problem ls an extremely complicated one, and presupposes a definition of gasoline. It Is highly probable\nthat tho specification or definition of\nstnndard gasoline and thc tests that\nwill bo necessary to determine whether\nthe gasoline complies with the specifications will be quite complicated and\nwill require tbo services of a trained\nchemist to make them. It seems more\nprobable that tbc definition of gasoline will have to be based on the percentage that distills over and between\nspecified temperatures, when tho distillation Is carried out under specified\nconditions. This distillation test,\nspeaking in non-technical terms, is a\nmeasure of the freedom with which\nthe gasoline will vaporize. The gasoline must not vaporize too freely for\ntwo rensons, one that it would not be\nsafe, and secondly Its loss in storage\nby evaporation, would be too great.\nHom-e tho specification may have to\ncontain limitations of tbe per centage\ndistilling over below a certain temperature, coupled, perhaps, with a\nproviso that certain percentages shall\ndistill over below other fixed temperatures, In order that requisite amounts\nof low-boiling constituents shall bo\npresent to Insure easy starting of an\nengine. Likewise tho specification\nmust contain a provision that all must\ndistill over below a certain maximum\ntemperature, In order to exclude from\nthc gasoline the heavier petroleum distillates, such as kerosene.\nttfEATRL\n\"Where All the Big Features I\nPlay\"\nTONIGHT and TOMORROW*\nLasky Presents Beautiful Little\nMae Murray\nin a delightful picturization of\u00a7\nDavid Belasco's famous play\n\"Sweet Kitty Bellairs'l\nIn Five Parts.\nSidney Drew Comedy,\n\"FOLLOWING THE 8CENT\"I\nTuesday, Oot. 31\u2014Charlie Chaplin in \"The Pawnshop\"\nCONDITIONS AT DYCE CAMP\nLONDON, England\u2014A committee of\ntho homo office has boon appointed to\ninquire into tbo conditions prevailing\nat Dyco camp, Scotland, where 2!>0\nconscientious objectors arc employed\nupon manual work.
