Yellow Gasoline a. Good a. White,

If motorists realized that their preju.
dice against yellowish gasoline was un.
warranted the gasoline supply might be
increased considerably. In the early
days Of the oil industry poor refining
methods were responsible for the pro-
duction Of yellowish kerosenes and
gasOlines. which were sometimes dan.
gerous. This led the public to demand
that gasoline be ''water white" and the
prejudice has hindered the develop
ment Of cracking processes which pro-
duce perfectly safe gasoline with a
slightly yellowish tinge.
Another handicap in the industry, &C.
cording to petroleum experts, is the
necessity for refiners treating gasoline
with sulphuric acid and caustic soda
to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons,
which have high fuel value in an ex-
plosion engine. 1t is estimated that
there is a loss of $1OOOO.OOO n year in
the United States through these preju-
dices, represented by 3O,O00.OOO gallons
of gasoline. $4,000 tons of sulphuric
acid and $500 tons Of caustic soda.

STAND BY THE FAITHFUL

We notice that few of the papers
of the state are doing their best to
Influence the public against the re-
election of those who have stood
steadfast with the president and a
majority congress in the successful
prosecution of the war.
The editors of these papers claim
to be loyal citizens, but their loyalty
to party, or personal favoritism, is
superior to their loyalty to nation
and forms the stepping stone to re-
bellion or internal dissension. 1t is
the spreading of propaganda that is
harmful to the nation in many res
poets and tends to promote discord,
especially among the foreign element
We are now in the midst of one of
the greatest wars ever recorded In
history and every American editor
should so frame his editorials as to
be of lasting benefit to this country.
La Toilette has been censured by his
states senate for spreading propo-
ganda that has aided the enemy and
the very few editors of the country
who persist in belittling those who
are giving time and energy to sus-
tain the government, and who have
the almost unanimous approval of the
people, will not only gain the con-
tempt but the hatred of this class
of American loyalty.
The class of men who are loyal to
the president, be they Democrat or
Republican, should be retained and
the others thrown into the discard

CALENDAR IN HEAD
Good Method Now That So Few

Little Mental Arithmetic Required by

mitted to Memory.

Calendars for 1918 are going to be
scarce, partly on account Of the paper
shortage and partly because advertis-
ers are cutting down expenses, the
large insurance companies, for in
stance, having made 1t rule that their
agents will have to print their own
calendars. 1t used to be that one was
flooded with calendars Of all sorts and
shapes about the first of the year; now
one has to buy them.
Why buy a calendar If one can carry
the whole thing in ones head? There
are several ways in which one can fig
ure out the day of the week upon
which any day Of the month will fall,
but the majority Of them require an
amount Of mental arithmetic that is
beyond the powers of the man in q
hurry, or the woman arranging for q
party.
Here is simple calendar arranged
by memory expert. 1t consists of
twelve words arranged as a rhyme.
These twelve words are indexes for
the twelve months, and they are three
in line, so as to make it easier to get
ut the months by taking them three at
time:
Gilpin observer. (Central City, Colo.) 1897-1921, 1918-03-07
Time Flies Fast,
Men Wisely Say;
Men Think, Alas!
Times Fooled Away.

The initials Of these words give us
the day of the week upon which the
first of the months will fall in 1918,
taking them in order. T stands for
Tuesday, TIL for Thursday. s is for
Saturday and A for Sunday. NJ and
w are for Monday and Wednesday re-
spectively.
1t is obvious that If one knows upon
what day Of the week the first day of
any month will fall, one has only to
add sevens to 1t to discover the dates
of all similar days Of the week in that
month. If the LIST Of August falls on
Thursday, the 9th, 18th, 22d and Doth
must all be Thursdays.
Now suppose you have committed
this little rhyme to memory and wish
to know upon what day of the week
the Fourth Of July will fall in 1918.
July is the seventh month and the sew
enth word in our couplet, beginning
the third line, is Men. AS NJ stands
for Monday. the LIST Of July must be a
Monday, SO the 4th will be Thurs.
day.
Let us suppose your birthday ls
March %. AS March is the third
month the word is at the end of the
first line, and the initial F shows that
the LIST of March will be a Friday. II
the following Fridays are the 9Th, 18th
and 22d your birthday will be on Sat
urday in 1918.
Suppose 1t is Christmas day you are
looking forward to. December is the
last Of the twelve months and the
Initial Of the last word in our little
rhyme is A, which stands for Sunday.
Then the Sundays in December will be
the LIST, 9Th, 18th and 22d. and Christ
mas day will be three days after Sun
day, or Wednesday.

THE "UNsINkAsLE" SHIP
Edward Keating)

Now we are to have the "unsink-
able" ship. The idea comes to Am
erica from French and Italian sources
and already one unsuitable" ship
the Lucia-is on the high seas bound
for Europe. prepared to defy the
submarines.
The system is a comparatively sim
pie one. 1t consists in slowing air
tight wooden boxes, about by 2 by
feet in size all along the inner Skin
of the ship and also in the cargo.
The space occupied by the boxes is
about IA per cent of the cargo space
and the cost is about $4,000 per
ship.
sist that ship thus equipped will
keep afloat even If struck fairly by
three torpedoes.
The plan was first brought forward
last July, but, 1t is said, that a COM
bination of ship owners succeeded
in preventing it's consideration. These
gentlemen collect full insurance on
all ships lost and are able to make
more money by loading ships heav-
lily than by sparing part of the space
for protection.
Their protests have been disregard
ed in the face of the appalling loss
es from submarine attacks. 1t is es-
timated that during 1917 the allies
lost 100000 registered tons of ship
ping. At conservative estimate
this was worth $500 a ton or $4,000
900, 900.
But that is not the most serious
feature Of the loss. The ships des-
troyed by the Kaiser carried between
1,S0O, 900 and 100000 tons of food
stuffs, to say nothing of other valu-
able cargo.
II the unsuitable" ship can foil
the U-boats a long step will have
been taken toward winning the war.
Good luck to the Lucia.

1t matters not which political party
is in the majority, you will find those
discontents who are ever on the alert
to suckle at the public teat and who
have been turned down for ineffic-
iency, ready to rebel and attempt to
start slaughter. The coming cleo
tion will be conducted along different
lines and without regard to party pol
itics. The people as whole will ell
ect only those who have been loyal
to the president, the government and
country, regardless of party. This is
no time to countenance pacifist, a
pro-German or a mugwump, as the
great mass of Americans are united
on the one issue, viz, placing those
loyal to country in office regardless
of politics.

GET READY FOR THE PLANTING

We are approaching the second
year of the country's entrance into
the great world war and it behooves
us as loyal citizens to prepare to be
as self-sustaining regarding food pro-
duction as circumstances and condi-
tons will permit.
America in normal times not only
raises her products in sufficient
quantities. but also has large ex-
port trade to other lands. Condi-
tions in the several European coun-
tries are such that we are called
upon to furnish practically all of
their food stuffs as well as money to
conduct the war and now is the time
to prepare for the future.
Each and every citizen who has a
garden plot should plant it this year
to its full extent. A small plot will
suffice for summer vegetables such
as radishes. lettuce and onions, but
the main portion should be planted
with winter foods. such as potatoes,
turnps, parsnips and carrots that will
materially reduce the winters cost
of living.
Seed can be obtained free of cost
to all who will apply to Edward
Heating, member of congress, third

THE NEED OF MODERN MILLS

The great drawback to the county
at the present time is the lack of
mills for the treatment of the mill
ions OF tons of low-grade ores that
are readily available. Flotation has
proven the only successful way of
treating this class of ore and while
there are several mills on private
properties in the county that have
made success thru this method,
there is no custom mill that supplies
the public wants.
The Buell. mill. located in the very
heart of the mining belt. could with
small expense be converted into a
flotation plant that would not only
add to private wealth, but contrib
ute to the countys greatness. and
the attention of capital should be
drawn TO this enterprise.
The richness of surface deposits in
years gone by made Gilpin county
world famous and millions of dollars
in gold was taken therefrom. but the
large bodies of low-grade ores lying
alongside still remain, and flotation
has proven that this class of ore can
now be mined at profit and every
inducement should be given capital
to inaugurate this system.

nothing may be wasted. And If this
