Gen. Amos A. Fries, head of the chemical warfare service of the army, in- a speech several months ago before the Dupont Circle Citi- zens sociation. Gen. Fries severely criticized school authorities for giving pupils too much home work and said the ported to have been expended by Pepper’s Pittsburgh headquarters alone. The expenditures of Repre- sentative Willtam S. Vare, who won the nomination, were referred to only in one instance, when the rec- ord showed an expenditure of $71,435.80 by the Vare committee. Most of the day was devoted to the expenses of the Pinchot cam- paign.

North Carolina Votes Against Unit Rule ‘ Raleigh, N. C., June 9 (By A. P.).——Disregarding warnings by the opposition that such discussion might lead to obtaining candidates not desired by the South, the North Carolina Democratic executive com- mittee by a vote of 48 to 10 placed itself on record as favoring the abolishment of the two-thirds rule and the unit rule in the selection of Democratic candidates for Presi- | dent. VAST MOTOR FUEL BELIEVED IN COAL Youthful Scientist Reports Wringing 31 Gallons of Oil From Ton. (By A. Pd; of Johnstown, Pa., 22-year-old graduate fellow at the Carnegie Institute of Tech- nology at Pittsburgh, today told the National Coal Association of Re- search méthods by which he has obtained 31 gallons of commer- cially valuable distillate from a ton of coal, while retaining a ton of coke for fuel. Through a process known as “low temperature’ distillation,” Chicago, June 9 ’|}Cooper has wrung from a ton of coal 100 pounds of resin conden- sate, 110 pounds of wax condensate, 8 gallons of medium oils, 2 of which are suitable for motor fuel, and 2 gallo@s of light oil, recovered from coal gas. Cooper, maintained in. Carnegie by the coal association, believes vast sources of motor fuel are to be developed through distillation of coal products. seem to offer little chance for re- . That the vote pill be something more than merely the recording of one or another association at the instance of some few members at a small meeting was inade certain by the board, which called for a state- ment of the total membership of each association, the number pres- ent at the meeting at which action is taken, and the number voting for and against each of the proposals. Distribution of the questionnaires will be begun immediately by school officers. Criticism of conditions in many schools and of the use of money from the general school repair to new schoole at the expense of older buildings was met by the board with a six-year repair pro- gram calling for the expenditure of between $450,000 and $500,000. The program was submitted by Dr. H. Barrett Learned, chairman of the board committee on build- ings and grounds, and had his ap- proval and that of Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, a second member of the committee. It was drafted by Maj. R. O. Wilmarth, business manager of schools, in a conference with his assistunts and technical experts of ernment, Dr. Learned said.
