Gas Commission's
three times.
As it Is estimated that he twelve
and one-half -cent increase to the com
panv for every thousand ubic feet of
jtas sold would add $'2,000,000 u )car
to the V (' I retenues, Mr. Wegleln
aald he believed part of that extra sum
should be used for experimenting with
coal-gas production.
While the (las Commission appmxed
"of 530 H. T V gas. Mr Wegleln con -,
tlnucd that gas of that standard wits
poor.-an .shown by his personal expert
ence and that of others.
"As for the $2,000,000 extra which
It Is estimated the compnnj would

of at least part of the additional money

At the con-luslon of the meeting Mr.

E. Lcnnon, of the Logan Improve

The Una Commission was represented
unofficially bj two of its members,
Howard It. Sheppard nnd Thomas F.
Armstrong.
The Hiireau of Municipal Research,
In Its weekly issue of Citizens' Husi
ness, objects to the provision for a
600 R. T U. standard in the Wegleln
ordinance. Tlint standard, it was
stated, "would delaj the modern de
velopment of the gas works nnd prove
disadvantageous, lather than advan
tageous." Bureau's Reasons
In supporting this objection, the bu
reau continued
"The most modern practice in gas
manufacture Involves the production of
'gas of a reasonablj low H. T I con
sent because this procedure utilizes the
jgas-maklng materials to the greatest
'advantage nnd provides the cheapest
i gas per heat unit to the consumer.
"Pcrhnps some of those who oppose
the retention of the MO It T V stand
ard do not ren'lze that the gns con
sumer has n direct Interest In the eco

Too much weight should not be given

knowledge of the true economics
olved these complaints will gradually
disappear "

Aug. 11. Governor Wllllnm C. Sproul.
commander-in-chief of the Pennsyl
vania National Guard, will reach camp
shortly before noon today, according
to General William O. Price, division
commander. He will be accompanied
by Adjutant General Frank D. Hcary
and several other men from the State
capital. General Prlco nlso stated
that he has .altered his original plan
to hnve a review only of the infantry
nnd engineer units In camp.
The program for the Governor now
calls for a revlow of tho Fifty-second
Cavalry Brigade following the review
of the other units In camp on the pa
rade grounds near tha Mt. Gretna Sta
tion. Following the first parade the
Governor will journey across Gobln
Hill to thn camp site of the cavalrv,
more than four miles below here. There
on the level fields adjoining the enmp
he will witness the first parade of a
complete cavalry brigade In the his
tory of the guard.
Thjs in the tentative plan as nr
ranged by General Price and will only
be carried out if it meets with the
Governor's approval. Governor Sproul
will be the guest of honor nt a lunch
eon nt Division Hcadqunrters nt noon
today. The Regular Army officers on
duty here nn specialized Instructors
have been Invited to attend.
High Regular Officers Arrive
Four of the highest officers In the
Regular Army reached camp early this
morning from Fort Howard. Md. They
are Brigadier General Charles .7.
Bailey, commander of the Third Corps
Area; Colonel George Stuart, also of
the Third Corps Area, officer in chargo
of tho National Guard affairs: Colonel
E. J. Williams, of the General's Staff,
and Colonel F. K. FerguBon, chief of
General Bailey's staff. They will be In
camp here for several days to make a
thorough inspection of every detail1
and working area of the block system.
This system Is being used here for the
first time nt n National Gunrd encamp
ment, and the Regular Army officers are
desirous of seeing how the program Is
actually beta: carried on nt this enmp
nnd with what advantnges over the In
struction given nt former encampments.
The block system Is nt present being
used In the Regular Army, but Gen
eral Bailey hns met with n number of
difficulties In administering his pro
gram. He will compare the features of
the system in use here with those of
the Regular Army.
Captain Maurice L. Miller. U. S.
A. , in charge of the block contructlon
here, hns perfected the working pro
gram to such an extent that every
man who comes to camp receives special
training In twenty-eight different
courses of military duty. General
Price has complimented him a number
of times on his splendid work nnd the
co-operation given to tho Natlonnl
Guard by the regular army officers on
duty here. While here the army offi
cers will be the guests of General
Price at division headquarters.
Scout Patrol Feature
A feature of tho work being done at
the camp of the Flfty-seconu Cavulry
Brigade, General John P. Wood, com
manding, is scout patrol duty on horse
back. The plan was inaugurated yes
terday when both Colonel George C,
Thayer, commander of the 103d Regi
ment and Colonel Edwnrd ,T. Stackpole,
Jr., commander of the 101th Regiment,
sent out five patrols of four men each
to scour the surrounding countryside.
The lender of each group is equipped
with a map and is instructed to locate
the bridges on his route and report the
condition of each, also the size of
towns or villages in the area j and the
advantages of the district for a military
maneuver. The work Is similar to the
patrol duty done overseas during the
World War. At a conclusion of each
tour the leader makes his report to
the commnnder of the regiment. Nota
tions are mude by both commanders.
It Is expected that this Information
will be used In preparing the big cav
alry maneuver which Is scheduled to
take place JiiBt before the end of the
training period. '
Charles F. Burke, Philadelphia,
member of Company E, 103d Engineers,
baa been nbsent from enmp since the
regiment left Philadelphia. He was
rounded up at the Tobyhanna camp by
Major Wllllnm H. Yeldt, acting divi
sion inspector. Colonel Jackson W.
Study, the regimental commander, will
have the familiar "A. V. U. L."
charge placed against him.
