You have probably noticed
that a Pilot Country Home
Acetylene burner is shaped like
the letter ~
And, that the little gas OPEN
ings in the arms Of the burner
are only pin hole size.
So small they let out only
half of a cubic foot of Acetylene
In an hour.
You might leave one of these
Acetylene burners open by ae-
cident all day-and even then
there wouldn't be gas enough in
the air of the room to enable
you to set fire to it If you tried.
As a matter of fact, you
would have to leave the burner
open fully three days and nights
Danskeren. [volume] (Neenah, Wis.) 1892-1920, 1913-11-26

In a room twelve by fourteen, with
windows and doors closed tight, before
there would be any fire or explosion
danger whatever.
And the chance of your leaving a
burner open that long is not worth
considering. The pungent odor of
the escaping gas would be certain to
attract attention in a few seconds.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver. Dec. 1S.-There is some
doubt as to the outcome of the case
which involves the loaning of state
school funds to farmers. The attorney
general has been asked by Registrar
Hoggatt for decision. Belief is that
the attorney general will hold the
law which provides for loaning this
fund Is unconstitutional, but the reg
istrar is of the opinion that the sta
tute is good. There is divided opin-
ion among state officials as to the le-
gality of the proposed loaning of the
school fund. The claim is that this
fund is now bringing into the school
fund tco small interest from the bank
and that If loaned to farmers the in
terest would be at least per cent
instead of per cent. A decision is
expected during the present week.

POLLY WANT A DIAMOND?
SURE-AND WAR IS ON
New York, Jan. 3.-It's Up to
the New York courts to decide
which is the more valuable, a trick
parrot or a $500 diamond.
The parrot is owned by Bar
tholdi, the bird trainer. The dia-
mond used to be owned by Olga
Petrova, the Russian dancer. It
is now owned by the parrot.
Bartholdi and Petrova were
rival acts on vaudeville bill in
a local theater. They never did
like each other much.
The parrot also acquired Bar
tholdIs dislike for Miss Petro-
va, and on New Years eve, the
parrot flew out of Bartholdi's
hand over to Miss Petrova and |
snagged the diamond out of one
of her rings. Before Petrova |
could get any action the diamond |
was safely in polly's insides.
Then Petrova went to Barthol-
di in a state of high Indignation

A Heroic Act
A True Story
By Freeda Marshall (aged thirteen years.


You have all read stories of brave fire
men. policemen and soldiers, but now
am going to tell you about a brave lit
tie boy. He did not rescue people from
fires, nor stop runaways but l am sure
you will agree with me that he is a
hero in his own little fve-year-old way
While coming down the street recently
| saw crowd of little fellows, led by
one little boy. putting stones and other
things i'm a barrel 1t appeared strange
TO me- so when | met Charles (for that
is the little fellows name) | asked him
the cause of their strange actions, and
then he told TO me his story.
Just as he came down to play he
found his little friends engaged in the
process Of stoning a poor little helpless
kitten. II was quite hard for Charles TO
check them in their apparent sport, but
after getting injuries and a bruised leg
in the attempt to help the kitten he
finally persuaded them to stop.
Soon he was lecturing them on being
kind to all feeble and helpless creatures.
Then they forgot about wanting to stone
the kitten. and Charles suggested a new
game for them 10 play. Do you not think
this can be justly termed a heroic act?
