NAVY STILL HOPES
SCOUT CRUISERS
Pacific Nows Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON. The navy depart
ment has not abandoned the hope
that It will be possible to award con
tracts for the construction of the three
remaining scout cruisers, despite the
fact that the bids received are in ex
cess of the limit of cost specified In
the appropriation act, where a definite
sum of not to exceed $&,000,000 each
exclusive of armor and armament was
named.
Secretary Daniels has under consid
eration a project of appealing to con
gress for an Increase in this limit,
provided it shall appear to be advisa
ble to do this as a concession to the
demands of the shipbuilders and in
lieu of having the vessels built at navy
yards that shall be specially equipped
for the purpose.
As a preliminary to whatever may
be done in that direction, the naval
authorities are obliged to ascertain
the cost of construction at shipyards
in order to determine the amount upon
which will be based the percentage of
profit that is a form of proposal au
thorized by the lawr and presented by
some of the bidders. It is appreciated
that settlement of the problem is one
fraught with considerable difficulty on
account of the complicated situation
attending “actual cost."
In order to ascertain exactly what
is regarded as a base from which to
figure profit percentage and In the
hope of establishing uniformity of
i calculation, the deparement has sent
experts to several of the big privately
owned eastern yards to make an in
vestigation of the methods of account
ing at those yards.
DANGER IN RUNNING
ENGINE IN CIO
WASHINGTON. Asphyxiation from
carbon monoxide gas one of the dead
liest gases known, Is a danger run
by every person who operates an au- I
tomobile engine in a closed garage'
where the ventilation is poor, the
chemists of the bureau of mines, who j
have been making a special study of
gases have announced.
An automobile engine should never
be permitted to run in a close place,
the bureau chemists say, because the
carbon monoxide gas which the en
gine generates and discharges through
the exhaust will overcome a man when
he least expects it. The gas Is color
less and odorless and tastless and
therefore gives no warning of its ap
proach.
This jgas upon entering the human
system combines with properties in
the blood in such a way as to exclude
oxygen. This rapidly results in as
phyxiation.
An automobile engine need run In
a closed place but fifteen mintues to
generate an amount of gas sufficient I
to be deadly. Thirty minutes running
in an unventilated garage will satur
ate almost all the enclosed atmosphere
with the fatal poison.
The chemists of the bureau declare
that even in coldest weather garage
doors and windows should be thrown
wide open before an automobile en
gine is permitted to run. In making
experiments for the bureau the ob
server, although prepared for the dan
ger was made ill by his presence in
a closed garage with an automobile
engine running. ,

BUYS CHILEAN NITRATE
FOR NAVY’S POWDER
Pacific News Service, Wash. Bureau
WASHINGTON. Contracts have
been awarded by the navy depart
ment for approxmately 51,000,000
pounds of Chilean nitrate for powder
making purpose. This quantity con
stitutes three cargoes for the naval
collier Mars, and arrangements have
been made for that vessel to make
three trips with coal to the Pacific
coast of the United States, and to
steam southward after discharging the
coal and pick up nitrate at Total,
Chile on the return trips.
The contract for two of the car
goes was awarded to a German im
porting concern at' New York, repre
senting a German concern in Chile.
Due to conditions growing out of the
war, the latter conce.rn has been un
able to export nitrate, since Gentian
ships are not available for carrying
the material. This situation has op
erated to enable the navy department
to drive a bargain. The current mar
ket price is $2.35 per hundred pounds,
but the navy secured this big quan
tity at about $2.20 per hundred pounds.

OIL LANDS AMENDMENT
Pacific New3 Service, Wash. Bure.ik
WAASH1NGTON, Senator Phelan
of California in a statement issued
from his office explains the purpose of
his amendment to the Administration's
oil land leasing bill. The Senator says
that the law under which the Cali
fornia oil lands now are being
handled has been Interpreted harshly
and to the distinct prejudice of many
persons who have spent much time,
effort and money in working claims.
Senator Phelan would amend the
law so as to provide that any person
who has asserted his claim under the
existing laws prior ti July 3, 1310, shall
on relinguishing his claim to the
United Sttes, be entitled to a prefer
ential lease by agreeing to pay one
eight royalty In oil or in the value of
oil to the Navy Department. The
Navy can utilize this oil, says the
California Senator, for present and cur
rent needs or can store it for future
use.
He explains that he desires the Navy
Department to be well supplied with oil
for present and future needs but he
believes that persons who have an
equity in California oil claims should
