Replacing Gasoline as Fuel.

Gasoline at 60 cents or more per gal
Ion has stimulated British search for
some other fuel for automobiles. Coal
gas Is being tried in many cities, and
Consul Claiborne, at Bradford, init
mates that, as its chief disadvantage Is
its bulk. complete success in its use
awaits only facilities for compression
or storage. AS now used, the gas
drawn from the main is carried in
rubber-lined canvas bag of mattress
shape, which is strapped to the top of
the motor omnibus or to the rear OF
the automobile. The gas in the bag is
connected to the induction pipe, and
the engine Is worked by the suction
process in the same manner as the or
binary gasoline vapor induction. In
trial of gas for four months. a system
of motor-driven omnibuses operated by
the Grimsby municipality is said to
have reduced the fuel cost per mile
nearly two-thirds, the price per gallon
of gasoline and that per 1000 cubic
feet of coal gas being each 81 cents.
The only change in the motor has been
the fitting of butterfly valve In the uir
intake pipe for regulating the air sup
ply; and as an advantage from the use
Of gas. it is claimed that the engine ia
cleaner and the valves do not require
grinding so often.

INDIANS USE A GRABHooK
Have Unique Outfit Which They Use
In Fishing for Salmon-Poles
Are Twenty Feet Long.

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grab-hOok," large iron hook fas-
tened to pole by a loose cord three
end of the hook that slips over the
tip of the pole keeps 1t in place until
the fish is hooked. Then the hook is
pulled off the pole and the cord gives
the fisherman a chance to play his
fish If necessary before dragging 1t
ashore, says the Southern Workman.
The hooks are made by the black
smith, but the poles, about 20 feet in
length, the Indians make them
selves Of red fir. Taking rough
piece OF dry wood of the required
length, they patiently work at it with
drawshave and knife until it Is the
right size and tapering to s&t the
workman. Then it Is usually hard
ened in the Goals before putting on the
cord, which they braid themselves.
If pole breaks, as often hap
pens, the broken parts are dashed
together with string, pitch is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
q hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians gen.
orally fish from the bank or from
platforms built over the water. They
thrust the long pole out across the
river as far as they can and let the
current carry it down and into the
bank, trusting to chance and a quick
jerk to hook the fish If they feel one

SALVATION ARMY WORK.

1t will surprise many to know
that the Salvation Army is a very
important factor in the present
war, they have erected large
building at cost of $4,000, con-
sisting of reading room and rest
room. Also large chapel.
Union religious SERVICES will be
held every night. presided over by
Salvationist officers and ministers
from nearby churches. They have
in operation at the present time on
the French and German fronts
100 ambulance units, ~ base hos
pitfalls, 10 large buildings in as
many towns, that will accommo-
date 500 each of sleeping quarters
for the soldiers; they are also
equi ipped with rest, reading rooms
and shower baths at all times free
of charge to the soldiers. The
American front is represented
with units from Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania and one from Ohio is
now forming. Plans to have every
state in the union represented
with an ambulance unit. The
unique feature of this work is that
the entire membership of these
units are Salvationist graduates
of the Salvationist Training
Schools. 100000 has been ex-
pended already on this humane
work.

COURTESY

Treating a customer like IA rich
uncle, so that you may extract his
coin, is not courtesy-that S fore
sight.
Offering IA seat to the man who
enters your office is not courtesy
that S duty.
Listening to the grumblings,
growlings and groanings of bore
without demonstrating is not cour-
tesy-that s forbearance.
Offering your companion a cigar
when you light one yourself is not
courtesy-you d be ill-bred if you
didn't.
Helping pretty girl across the
Street, holding her umbrella, carry
ing her poodle-none of these is
courtesy The first two are a
pleasure, and the last is politeness.
Courtesy is doing that which
nothing under the sun makes you
do but human kindness. Courtesy
Isprings from the heart if the mind
prompts the action there is a
reason; if there be reason, it is
not courtesy, for courtesy has no
reason. Cortesy is good will and
goodA will is prompted by a heart
full of love to be kind.
Only the generous man is truly
courteous-he gives freely without
a thought of receiving anything in
return. The generous man has
developed kindness to such an ex-
tent that he considers everyone as
good as himself-and treats others
not as he should like to be treated
(for generosity asks nothing), but
as he ought to be treated.-Drew s

NO MERE DREAM.

The developments of the last few
months show that pan-Americanlsm
Is more than dream; that 1t Is
backed by spirit of amity and un-
derstanding that was. not generally
realized. Latin America, which was
supposed to be jealous of our strength
and to fear we might have Interior mo-
tives In fostering cooperation among
American nations, is rallying to our
support most valiantly. Cuba and Pan
anna hastened to break off relations
with Germany and to get into the war
as allies of the United States as soon
as we had taken stand alongside Of
Great Britain and France. Brazil, the
most powerful Of the South American
republics, broke Off relations with Ger
many, and now that its congress Is
about to be In position to take action,
is preparing to follow us with war
declaration. Bolivia indorsed the po-
sition we have taken, as have Argen-
tina and Chile. Haiti has broken with
Germany. The situation in Central
America Is most encouraging. Hon
duras and Nicaragua have followed the
lead Of others that broke with Ger
many when we did. And now Costa
Rica is in line to become an ally Of
the United States, although the peo-
pie had to resort to revolution to free
themselves from German propa-
gandists.
