ft TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT, DECEMBER 25, 1919. WHERE GREAT MONARCH LIES VICTORY TO SUPERIOR RACE , Mosque of Bajazet II la One of the Sights of City of Con­ stantinople. Teuton Hosts at the Marne Over­ whelmed by Men Possessed of Love of Liberty. Constantinople bus no mosque more attractive to natives and strangers alike than that of Bajazet II. Bajazet, one time sultan of an empire, known as the dreamer, raised this graceful monument and sleeps peacefully in its Shelter. It is not, however, In reverence to the memory of Bajazet that so many Turks sit languidly in the corners of the mosque court. They are here to profit by the visits of strangers in the city, to tempt them with real Turkish tobacco, oriental perfumes, amber and jewelry. In short, they have set up shop In the very shadow of the mosque, and that shadow being insuf­ ficient, strips of awnings have been rigged up as further protection from the glaring sun. Whether Bajazet would approve of this seeming disre­ spect can only be surmised. Pigeons, too. In distracting numbers, whirling, cooing, always fluttering from one spot to another, save the mosque courtyard from the solemn silence of the thousand and one other temples of Constantinople. Bajazet’s approval of the pigeons’ presence is recorded from the time when only two frequented his court By his order they and their successors have been always fed and regarded as sacred. The feathered Inhabitants have be­ come so numerous and so much at home that the mosque has come to be popularly called the "Mosque of Pigeons.” Their cooing softens the sound of bargaining from the corners of the court and blends with the splash of the fountain. Could the dreamy Bajazet behold them now, poised on his minarets, walking sedately about his court, and circling like whirling clouds about the columns, he would realize that they are the final totfeh to the perfection of his temple. The following passage Is from an article entitled “The New Men and the Old World,” In Inter-American. The writer, Jesus Semprum, Is a noted Venezuelan man of letters, the author of many biographical, historical and literary works. He employs the alle­ gorical style of writing. “Therefore, men died by the thou­ sand, from Nieuport to the black Vosges,” writes Mr. Semprum. "An advance here, another there, thousands of prisoners, hundreds of cannon; but the channel ports continued to be de­ nied them; Amiens and Chalons and Paris unattainable In the distance. The tired chargers went so far as to drink the fateful waters of the Marne. "Suddenly the wind of wrath blows against the monarch’s hosts.. In the front rank tight with skillful daring the new men, like veterans seasoned In long campaigns. Without knowing the whips of the sergeants, the de­ stroyers of free will, without having lived cowered by the yoke of minute and Iron discipline, without calling themselves the favorites of the Most High, Pershing’s meD pursue the vet­ eran conquerors of the world and throw them back upon the Moselle, astound them with their numbers, their strength, their simple and serene valor. They went forward at a quick I and measured pace, and under their feet the soil of France quivered in the Joy of liberation. "The new men had arrived In time!" I TRUE TO IDEALS OF HOME Woman Conductor Would Have No Mud Tracked Into Elevator That She Was Running. She was a fnt, comfortable looking Irish woman, You could see her pnt- ting out a good washing or rocking a baby, but It was hard to believe your eyes when you saw her running an elevator at night In an office building. There she was, Just the same. And the little Italian who was scrubbing the main hall had left water, quite a puddle of It, In front of the elevator. All proceedings were stopped. The elevator did not run. With arms akim­ bo she dressed down the hapless little man and ordered him back with his mop. “Come here and clean this up!” she ordered. “I'll not have folks track­ ing water Into my elevator." He came. Memories of muddy feet on home- acrubbed porches and Immaculate halls. It was her elevator, not her em­ ployer’s, when she was running It, and tracked It should not be.

The price of Red Crown Gasoline was advanced li cents a gallon on Wednesday, December 17, 1919. This advance is due to the fact that the Oregon state law specifies that gasoline shall be of 56 degrees ‘gravity, Baume 'jest to be saleable in the state, which law necessitates our re­ fining a special gasoline for sale in Oregon. In refining this special gasoinel a lower yield is secured from the crude oil than in refining our regular gasoline,with consequent increase in the cost of the special gasoline. The advance of lj cents a gallon in the price does not fully represent the additional cost to us of manufacturing the of the special gasoline. At the same time, the higher price of special gasoline does not secure for the user any greater value than is given in our regular gasoline. The 56-degree gravity gasoline that we must specially refine and furnish in Oregon is a less efficient gasoline than that regularly produced by this Company and sold in Wash­ ington, California and elsewhere. Our regular gasoline comes within the United States Government Standard Specifications. It is refined to a set specification of a chain of boiling points determined by our exports as being that which will give the maximum of power and mileage consistent with due regard to gasolne conservation and the maintenance of reasonable prices to,the consumer, YOUNG WIFE’S FIRST LESSON Mrs. Newlywed Evidently Beginning to Learn Her Household Dutiea From the Ground Up. The newly married man came home i from his office happy. He was greeted as newly married men are greeted, with a kiss, and this, In fashion of his kind, he returned with interest “Of course we shall go out to din­ ner, darling,” he remarked. “Yes, dearest" replied the happy young woman. “But one of tlfcse days we shall have a dinner here, darling, shall we not, of your own cooking?" "Of course, dearest,” she replied, “I am getting along famously with my cooking lessons.” “And it will be Such a change,” he continued, “from the monotonous fare of the restaurants.” There were more kisses. “Did you take cooking lessons to­ day, darling,” he asked. "Yes, dearest.” "And what did JWi learn?" There was pride in her tone as she replied. “Today, dearest, I learned how to boll water."—Ohio Observer. GRAVETY A FALSE TEST OF GASOLINE VALUE Gasoline is regularly refined by us with regaid to its range of boiling points—the only true meas­ ure of gasoline value. The Oregon State law es­ tablishes a gravity standard for gasoline, which is not indicative of gasoline quality. That “the grav­ ity test is of little or no value in determining the quality of gasoline” was stated by the United States Government’s Committee on Standardiza­ tion of Petroleum Specifications in its report to the Government. Later the United States Government adopted standards for gasoline based on boiling points. BOILING POINTS ARE THE ONLY TRUE Something to It—After All.

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF GASOLINE MEASURE OF GASOLINE VALUE Boiling points determine the vaporizing and combustive, or power, qualities of gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. The gravety test simply compares the destiny of the liquid gasoline with the density of water at sea level. It can tell nothing about the vaporizing and oombuztive. or power, values of gasoline. Only the range of Veiling points can do that. « THE U. S. GOVERNMENT STANDARD SPECI­ FICATIONS FOR GASOLINE. The United States Government standard speci­ fications for gasoline are based on boiling points— not gravity. Drafted as they were by impartial Government experts, they are generally considered, in the light of conditions today, as the most practi­ cal standard for gasoline. They insure an efficient and satisfactory gasoline and at the same time have due regard for the best utilization of our pe­ troleum resources, and the maintenance of reason­ able prices to the consumer. THE GASOLINE' PROBLEM. The demand for gasoline is increasing faster than the supply. To hold down the increasing dis­ proportion between the demand and the supply, it is important that every possible drop of gasoline be extracted from the crude oil refined. At the same time the producers must continue their con­ stant search for new sources of crude-oil supply, and the automotive engineers must continue their efforts to get more power and mileage out of the gasoline consumed. THE OREGON STATE LAW DEFEATS CONSERVATION. The Oregon State law, by specifying a gravity standard for gasoline, limits the possible extrac­ tion of gaaohne from the crude oil and thus oper­ ates directly against gasoline conservation, making less plentiful and more oostly the supply.
