FRIDAY EVENING,
the Bides and that electrical devices
were not practical and the Commis
sioner rejoined that he could not
see why the manufacturers could
not develop a light that would suit
large trucks. He also warned that
trucks monopolizing the middle of
the road would get their driver and
owners into trouble and urged that
such large vehicles be equipped with
mirrors to show what is following.
"There will be no deviat:.n from
the Act of 1919 in regard to width,
height or other details of trucks;
that is final," said the Commissioner.
"There will be half a million motor
vehicles in Pennsylvania next year,
propably a tenth of them trucks.
Now we are going to safeguard the
other 400,000. Lighting arrange
ments that apply to other cars must
apply to trucks as well. If you can
noi. get the lights required because
of the manufacturers we will license
you on condition that you state in
the application that you have placed
an order. The inspectors will en
force the law regarding weight and
width."
British Works of Art
Leaving For America
London, Dec. 26.—The House of

large numbers of works of art have

"there was much to be said in favor
of imposing such a duty."
LOWER MINE TO
EXTINGUISH FIRE
New Plan to Eliminate Blaze
That Has Burned For
Twenty Years
Jerome, Ariz., Dec. 26. —The fire,
which more than twenty years
has burned in the upper levels of
the United Verde Copper mine here,
is about to be eliminated by a dras
tic process of lowering the entire
surface of the property to a 400-
foot level. All attempts to extin
guish it have failed.
It is the general opinion that the
fire was started by a slip in the rock
producing sufficient friction heat to
ignite the ores rich in sulphur. It
has burned its way through veins of
copper, gold and sulphur.
The process of suppressing the fire
involves the removal of 14,000,000
cubic yards of material. The area
to be evacuated is roughly estimated
at 400 by 800 feet. Monster steam
shovels are to be employed in the
work.
It is expected that the task of re
moving the entire top of the mine,
and to extinguish the fire, will oc
cupy several years..

ASHLEY WARNS
OF GAS LOSSES
Stale Geologist Does Not Sec

trict; Thanks For Pardons
~Dr. George 11.
the new gas wells j
in the McKeesport
stock in undrilled j
wells in the McKeesport pool" are I
facing financial losses. Dr. Ashley,
has made several surveys of Penn- I
sylvanla fields where gas and oil j
strikes have been reported and has
made formal statements against
I placing too much confidence in
them and also warns people against
investments without careful study.
In a formal statement Issued to
day Dr. Ashley says that further
drilling in the McKeesport pool is
likely to be "utter waste" and to
bring certain losses. He says that
the conditions in the McKeesport
district where big strikes of gas have
caused excitement are different
from other fields which have been
supplying the Pittsburgh district
and says that the land ownership in
stead of being in farms with a large
acreage allowing a normal area to
each well, the land has been "in part
at least, been subdivided into town
lots, opening the door to a bargain
counter rush." After reviewing the
big well which was so productive
and remunerative, he says that it is
drawing from a very large acreage
and that with other wells being
sunk in the same district, the exhaus
tion "must be visibly hastened."

other kind since Monday. They are
coming from relatives of men who
were pardoned by the State Board

ise is made of intention to assist in

Plans of tlie State Constitutional
Revision Commission for the reas
sembling early in January eall for
joint conferences of committees in
regard to sections affecting munici
palities. The proposed classifica
tion of cities, counties and boroughs,
which was referred back to the com
mittee in charge of legislative pow
ers, is to be taken up with the com
mittee on cities. Alreaiiy men inter
ested in municipal affairs have been
heard of and there appears to be
strong sentiment manifested in let
ters coming to the Capitol for at
least five classes of cities. The pro
posed amendment would permit a
larger number. Hearings will be
asked on the section when It Is fin
ally acted upon in committee of the
whole. In regard to the Secretary
of Internal Affairs, the proposition
to make it an appointive office will
likely bo opposed by prominent Re
publican leaders. From all accounts
Secretary James F. Woodward does
not like the idea.
Further changes in the Depart
ment of Public Instruction are
likely. Some resignations of men in
charge of various activities have al
ready occurred and one more bureau
chief may go. Some of the school
men are said to have decided to go
into more lucrative fields, while oth
ers will go to other places. Appoint
ment of the assistants in the rural
education bureau will be majle very
shortly and the bureau organized
early in January.
General George C. lttckards, who
will be a State Water Supply Com

Free Hog Cholera Serum
Plan to Be Abandoned
The State of Pennsylvania will
abandon its free distribution of se
rum for hog cholera owing to the j
big increase In the number of swine. |
but retain control of the sale of thej
product, according to a general or
der issued by the Bureau of Animal j
Industry of the State Department j
of Agriculture. Several years ago j
the State began the manufacture!
of the serum as a means to check |
hog cholera but at the outbreak of
the war steps were taken to increase
the number of hogs along with other
live stock and the distribution has j
become too expensive,
i According to Secretary of Agri- i
culture Fred Kasmussen, there are |
now considerably over a million
hogs in the State and to provide the
serum would not only cost the State
| over $25,000 a year but provide a
means of combatting a disease for
animals when farmers are required
to pay for materials and treatment
for control of scale and other fruit
tree diseases. The order issued says
that the distribution of serum will
be discontinued after January 1,
but in order to protect the swine
j industry, the Department has made
arrangements to maintain a supply
j of serum and virus made by a reput-
I able firm at convenient locations in
the State. Secretary Kasmussen
says that the specifications for the
serum are the most ' rigid possible
and that the serum will be supplied
to veterinarians only.
Sale, distribution and use of the
serum is to be controlled by the
Bureau of Animal Industry.

Who's Who In the
Presidential Race
So many good Americans have never before aspired to the Presidency at this early stage of
the campaign, we are assured by competent authorities on things political. As the Baltimore
Sun (Ind.) remarks: "Democrats and Republicans have been popping up all over the country,
stretching themselves to their greatest height and craning their necks with the hope that the
Presidential lightning may hit them." The newspapers, generally cautious about committing
themselves in favor of any candidate while politics is in such an uncertain stage, are, however,
commenting more freely and dispassionately upon the various Presidential aspirants than they
are likely to do later, when the lines are drawn more tightly.
This very fact enables THE LITERARY DIGEST to present to its readers, in this week's
number, and well in advance of the primaries, the chief merits and demerits of the principal
contestants for the Presidential nominations as seen by the men themselves, by their friends, or
by the newspapers most familiar with their records.

Japs to Prohibit
Exports of Cotton
Toklo, Dec. 26. The Japanese
government has decided to prohibit
the exportation of cotton yarns and
cotton tissues in order to check the
advance of prices. Owing to the
shortage of supply against the ever
increasing demand, the price of raw
cotton has gone up 197 per cent.
It is alleged that this is in part
due also to speculative dealings of
cotton yarn brokers, who have taken
advantage of the buoyant market
and the fast falling supply to deal
In futures.
The government has decided also
to exempt from customs duty cottoi:
yarn and cotton tissue Imported from
abroad. Several large spinners in
Osaka and elsewhere have ordered
cotton yarns from tlie United States
and China, and many Japanese eot-
I ton mills will augment their manu
facturing capacity with spindles and
other machines imported from the
