AUTOISTS TOJSE KEROSENE
Standard Oil President Says Gasoline
t Supply is Shortening.
Oil. FIELDS ABE PLAYING OUT
Allrmaa Declares Kerosene Will Be
amt as Good and Mack More
Economical Than Gasoline
lor Antos.
Th high price of sanollne, due to the
Insufficient supply In the oil fields, will
nie&n that automobiles will eventually be
run with kerosene Instead of gasoline,"
said President Alleman of the Standard
Oil company of Nebraska, "There sre
more heat units In kerosene than there
afSa in gasoline and the only difficulty
la; that we cannot start automobiles with
kerosene, as It Is not volatile enough.
-Automobiles will have to have a little
auxiliary gasoline engine to start the
machine and after, that kerosene can be
used to go ahead with the work of driv
ing, the cur. There are hundreds of sta
tionary gasoline, engines In Nebraska to
day that are being operated with kero
sene oil and are giving perfect satisfac
tion. This has come about on account of
the high price of gasoline. These engines
are started and run for about three min
utes with gasoline and are then switched
over to the use of kerosene, being oper
ated at a profitable saving of quantity
and price."
... Kerosene Exported.
.The supply of kerosene, Mr. Alleman
said, was not so likely to run out, as
the Standard Oil company Is constantly
exporting millions of gallon of kero
: n and not exporting a single gallon of
fc-aollne. This shows that the demand at
hiijne Is consuming the gasoline while
there Is such an abundance of kerosene
tfiat vast quantities of It are exported.
Hesdes the mid-continent crude oil Is
j'roduclng 11 per cent of gasoline while
it Is producing 36 to 40 per cent of.kero-
fei-ne. N
"The advance In the last year In the
jt!ce of gasoline," said Mr. Alleman.
"fs due to nothing other than the advance
in' the price of crude oil In the vanishing
oil fields. No new fields are being dis
covered that amount to anything, and
tl:se old ones are not meeting the de
. mand. The automobile business, of
coree, has a great deal to do with this
increased demand for gasoline in the
last several years."
vAutomobile gasollv Is now selling at
Wi cents per gallon, while what is known
a the Pennsylvania gasoline costs U
crnts here. Mr. Alleman says there Is
ucally no difference except the difference
In freight which goes to the railroad
companies, for he ssys the mid-continent
oil serves the purpose for automobiles
as well as does -the Pennsylvania, but
that some people always demand Penn
sylvania oil and, of course, they have to
have It and have to pay the difference.
Both these varieties are about S cents
higher than they were a year ago. .

Bruton told Furay that he once had a

of Alfred Cornish & Co. having suc
ceeded the old firm of G. H. & J. S.
Collins, which was established In Omaha
in 1804, and which was a continuation of
the old Grant & Collins firm of Galena,

the firm and General Grant himself one
of their employes. In later years the
firm was known as Collins A Morrison

among the cattle men.
The firm of Alfred Cornteh & Co. con

the old firm became so well known. To
day they are sent all over the world,
some having gone to Paris, France; Glas

his Wild West show. Colonel Cody
always used the Collins saddle himself,
his last one costing $650.
This Is toe third year this saddle has

CITY PASSES A WEIGHT LAW
All Grocers and Peddlers Must Sell
Goods by Weight
IS PASSED BY A CLOSE VOTE
Plan la Pnt In Effect for the Pur
pose of Protecting; Housewives
Acalust Dealers ' Who
Would Cheat.
By a vote of five to six, Commissioner
Butler dissenting, the "weights' ordi
nance prepsred by "the city sealer of
weights and measures passed the city
council yesterday. Henceforth grocers
and peddlers must sell all articles by
weight.
Explaining his vote Commissioner But
ler said In his opinion it would be just
as easy for a peddler to cheat by weight
as by measure, and that he believed the
ordinance was a scheme to dispose of a
lot of scales. , .
Commissioner Kugel declared he was
not In favor of the ordinance, but would
vote for it anyway. He said it would be
even .less difficult to cheat housewives in
selling by weight because very few knew
how "many pounds of potatoes there were
in a peck."
This ordinance, which will go Into ef
fect in fifteen days, will compel peddlers
and grocers to use scales approved by
the city sealer of weights and measures.
The following will be the standard of
weights:

Mr. Isaacs declared that so far as this
year Is concerned, no extensions of the
Harrlman lines are contemplated. Next
year, he said, some now lines might be
built, but added that "it is too soon to
talk about that."
LICENSE IS GRANTED
TO THE TINLEY HOME
After a fight lasting several weeks the
Tlnley Rescue home has been given a
license by the State Board of Health, the
granting of the license being a vindica
tion of the home and a refutation of the
charges lodged against it by several resi
dents and owners of near-by property
who protested the license.
The protestants urged that the license
be denied because of the home's close
proximity to the County Detention home,
because It reduced real estatte values,
and because the home was conducted In
such a .manner as to be offensive to per
sons living or passing nearby.
After Dr. E. Arthur Carr, vice presi
dent of the State Board of Secretaries,
had visited Omaha and studied the situa
tion and had reported In favor of the
license, the Board of Secretaries recom
mended its granting. After a protracted
hearing before the State Board of Health,
at which all witnesses appearing for both
sides were heard, the board voted to
grant the license.

OMAHA HAS IT HOT AND
COOL DURING LAST MONTH
Omaha enjoyed a range of 46 degrees
in temperature during the month of July,
according to the monthly weather report
issued by Local Forecsster Welsh, the
highest mark being registered on Sunday,
July 14, when the mercury crept up to 102,
and the lowest record being touched Just
two days later, when 56 degrees was
checked. The mean temperature for the
month was 78, as against 79 in 19U.
Taking the month all In all. it was a
most agreeable thirty-one periods of
twenty-fours each, for on twelve day 3
rain was noticeable, varying from .02 of
an Inch to .94 of an Inch.
There were twelve clear dvs firtr.
partly cloudy days and four days on
wntcn the sun failed to. peep out from
cover at all. The full quota of 100 per
cent of sunshine was' registered on five
days. The ' total precipitation was L7S
inches. .
The only semblance of a wind storm
was in evidence on July 14, when a north
breese whisked things about to the tune
of thirty-two miles an hour.
In. the Interest of goea wagon and auto
mobile roals. the Northwestern Is this
year spending almost $25,000 along its
mall line from Clinton to Council Bluffs,
la.
Across Iowa the Northwestern is doub
ling the length of the planking at every
crossing on the main line, making these
crossings thirty-two feet. In addition,
it is grading down and leveling up all of
the approaches to the crossing, thus
making easy grades and thnn mak
ing, this grade thirty-two feet wide,
covering It back to the edge of the right-of-way
with either cinders or crushed
stone to the depth of six. Inches. The
danger signal signs are left as they have
stood for years, but back 600 feet on
either side of the track where highways
cross, additions , caution signs have been
placed.
With these improvements made, Gen
eral Manager Walters is of the opinion
that the Trans-Continental route that
follows the Northwestern, will always
continue' to be the popular route with
the auto tourists. He also believes that
with the crossings widened and the ad
ditional caution signs, there will be no
excuse for accidents when automobiles
cross the railroad tracks.
A few weeks ago section foremen on
the NoJthwestern were instructed to
count the automobiles passing over the
Trans-Continental route between Clinton
and Council Bluffs.

Price of Mutton
Half that of Beef
"The price of meat continues to soar,"
said Nat C. Houston, manager of the
Great Western commission firm at South
Omaha, "for the simple reason that the
public clamors for beef and bacon and
treats mutton with scorn.
"Beef and hog values have been speed
ing skyward, -but sheep have not partici
pated in the jump. Thousands of ewes
have sold at $3.76 to $4.25 per hundred
weight on the Omaha market lately, and
these prices mean 7V cents mutton in the
carcass.' Packers assert that American
people will not eat this, the .healthiest
and cheapest meat on the market' A
dollar will buy more mutton than will $2
of 'any othef meat, and it ought to be
the ' poor man's ' mainstay.
'.'There never. was a time when sheep
were selling so much out of line with
everything convertible' Into meat It Is
a putsle to the stock yard trade. Killers
assert that public institutions afford the
sole outlet for mutton, the public taste
running largely to lambs, which is rela
tively dear."
