Make Gas From Straw

From the Thrirt MagaZine.
 A Canadian inventor has worked out a new application of thrift in the form of gas which can be made from straw The invention will be of special value in farm communities as it will enable the former to utilize straw that now goes to waste. The gas is made in a three cylinder retort Each cylinder holds 8 bale of straw seven feet long. two feet wide. and six inches thick. With the chambers closed the straw Is ignited and allowed to burn from % to 70 minutes. It is said that 12,eoo cubic feet of gas can be generated from ton of straw. in addition to which there will be by-prod- ucts of six to eight gallons of tar and $40 pounds of carbon from which lamp black can be obtained

Thrift Suggestions

From the Thrift Magazine
 Make a pudding of staiebrown bread and apples.
 If your shoes are stiff from being wet, wash them with warm water and then rub well with castor oil.
 Put an orange and small onion Tn the duck before roasting.
 Put tablespoon of turpentine in a boiler of water when washing. This will beach and disinfect the clothes.
 In making pie crust use oil instead Of fat and barley flour instead of wheat flour. Have the oil very cold. If you don't wish to use all barley flour use

equal parts of it with wheat flour.
 Successive applications of salt will re- move fresh ink stains from rugs and car pets This applies only to fresh stains,
 Boil a small piece of ham with your string beans.
 Warm the tea in the oven before using it This will greatly lessen the quantity needed. Tea is very expensive and a slight saving on each meal means much money in year.

Thrift of Human Material

From the Thrift Magazine.
 America, with infinite justice and tenderness, is planning to do more for her injured soldiers than any other of the allied nations.
 Not only will those injured in the service receive life-long compensation commensurate with their injuries, but they will be given vocational training which will enable them to earn sub stantial salaries, in many instances greater than their earnings before the war.
 Men who have been mangled or blinded, instead of becoming objects of worthy charity, will graduate into the class of skillful producers.
 In the allied nations blind men are operating typewriters with raised let ters on the keyboard or practicing in the various professions; on the fields men without arms are swinging spades and scythes with wonderful mechani- cal arms whose muscles are wires of steel or cords of rawhide, connecting artificial fingers, wrists, elbows and fingers with the living muscles of the back of the shoulder. Men without legs are walking briskly about their tasks in machine shops and stores.

LIBERTY BONDS ARE THE
KAISER'S GRAVE DIGGERS

You are asked to buy Liberty Bonds
of the Fourth Loan. You naturally
hesitate and think what else you could
do with the money. Every man can
not fight for his country, and few wo-
men can avail themselves of serving
the nation by active participation. But
there is way in which young and
old, men and women, rich and poor,
can help in furnishing the sinews of
war, and that is by subscribing to the
Fourth Liberty Loan. 1t is not like
depositing funds where there is a
possibility Of loss or shrinkage, as ev-
cry dollar loaned to the government
will be paid for in full, and its obliga-
tions are the best investment in the

RESOLUTIONS.

In the death of Miss Vera Thomas,
which occurred September 8, 1918,
this community loses one of its sweet
est young girls.
She was born and reared in our
midst, and by her genial sweet dispo-
sition and true nobility of character,
she made host of friends among both
young and old, who will ever hold her
memory dear. M
Vera had been ill with typhoid fe-
yer for about ten days, when she quiz
city passed away. While it is with sad
hearts that her family and friends
give her up, we hope to meet her in
the beautiful beyond, where there will
be no more parting. The many
friends who followed her remains to
the cemetery and the beautiful flowers
placed on her grave showed the high
esteem in which she was held by the
people of this community.
She leaves a father, mother and two
brothers to mourn her loss. We would
point them all to our Savior and say
LET Him bear your burdens, and lead
you through the valley of the shad-
ow of DEATH" Since it is Gods to
give and to take away, be it,
Resolved, First, That we, the mem
bers of Chestnut Grove Sunday school,
commend to the bereaved parents and
brothers, the all-wise Father, who do
eth all things for the good Of them
that love Him.
Second, That We exhort them to be
submissive to His will, since he has
promised never to leave US or forsake
US.
Third, That a copy of these resolu.
tons be spread on the record of oul
Sunday school, and one be sent to the
Graphic for publication, also
one be furnished to the family.

MY BOY

Tell me, boy, was it years ago
We quarrelled and kissed, and you
leased me so?
You dreamed of a day that would
bring you fame,
And now you wake to a soldiers name,
Only a boy, and they want you there
Facing the terror and death and glare
OF the blazing guns and the poisoned
air;
And you go with never shadow Of
care,
Flinging the strength of pure young
soul
Into the hope of a treasured goal,
A single unit in one huge plan
Oh, tell me, boy, are you child or man
In the seething mass of million souls
AS the swift, sure tide Of the battle
rolls
O God, protect, make strong the good
For man stands where a boy has
stood!
Bless him with strength of mind ant
will
A heart of steel and a soul to thrill
With love for all that the winning
means
To mold mems lives and gid theil
dreams.
Caught in the scourge of blood and firc
That yields to the world its sacred
pyre.
Under the stress of its lurid ban,
Say, boy, my boy, will you be a man

MORTGAGE ON THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA, and every
liberty bond that you buy is a first
mortgage on this country.
1t is a first mortgage on every rail-
road, and it comes anead Of the rail-
road bonds. It is first mortgage On
the probably unmortgaged house in
which John D.. Rockefeller lives. for
the government win sell that house at
auction before it would fail in pay
ment of bond interest or principal.
The bond that you are going to buy
is a mortgage on every foot of ground
in the country, and on every mans
labor. 1t is the first mortgage on ev-
erything in this country. Thousands
of American sons are already upon
the battle-ields of France, fighting.
dying, to save the liberties of those at
home and to secure freedom against
Prussian brutality and military des-
potism. Their blood already conse-
crates the soil of noble France.
Who can look upon the blue jacket
of sailor or the khaki jacket of q
soldier without admiration for the in.
domitable hearts that beat beneath.
hearts that may be stilled in death as
the price they gay to save civilization.
Your glorious opportunity to strike
your own blow is here-your country,
your soldiers, your freedom call on
you for the money that you must lent
now if the right is to triumph. Make
no mistake, your Liberty Bond is neeI
esssry. The money you lend will buy
food, clothing and ammunition for an
American soldier-it may buy an
American life. e
You dare not put the responsibility
on another-the money of your friend,
your neighbor, is needed, TOO. Your
Liberty Bond will strike your blow.
"Pilate took water and washed his
hands," The Christ was led away to

The man with money who washes
his hands of responsibility in this war.
who willingly permits Liberty's cru

STA, who refuses to lend his dollars to
the cause for which others are giving
their lives-that man is in the Plate
class; he's so base, so mean of soul, so
utterly despicable that his name should
be stricken from the roll of citizenhip.
There arc not many men of this stripe
in this country, but there are some,
and their names are sure to become
known before this war is over. Once
known as traitorous slackers, their lot
will be very unenviable in this country
of loyal citizens.

PROPOSED S120 RAISE
Full Machinery of Employees Set IN
Motion to Defeat House
Recommendation.

THE full machinery of the National
Federation of Federal Employees was
set in motion last night to defeat the
recommendation made to the House
yesterday that all government employees
receiving $4,000 or less be given nat
Increase of $3.50 a year.
As soon as it was decided to make the
Recommendation as an amendment to
the executive. legislative and judicial
appropriation bill. Miss Florence Eth
eridge, fourth vice president of the fed
Grafton. issued the following statement:
The $40 fiat increase to federal en-
pioyes receiving $4,000 a year or less
provided by. committee amendment 70
the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill is unsatisfactory to
the National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes for the following reasons:
1T does not in any degree correspond
to the increase in the cost of living
lit is discriminatory in that it pro-
vides as large an increase for employees
$500, while it is avowedly a measure TO
help meet living expenses
LAS regards the employees of the Pan
anna canal and the Canal Zone. who are
by the terms of the amendment exclud-
ed from its operation. it represents ar
actual reduction in salary. for the rea-
son that they were included in the
and 10 per cent increase of last year.
The National Federation of Fedora
Employees is firm in its conviction thai
the Heating bill is the only measure
which to any degree meets the condi-
lions of life today in Washington and
throughout the country.

URGES THE CREATION Of
AN AUTO LICENSE BOARD
Safety First Association Thinks
Present System of Examining
Is Not Strict Enough.

Creation of an automobile license
board to be composed of a member OF
the police department, representative
of the Washington Safety First Asso-
citation and a third representing the
public generally was urged by the
Safety First Association at it's meeting
in the Public Library last night.
DR.. L. D. Walter. who brought up the
matter, expressed the belief that the
present systems of examining appll-
cants for operators permits is mol
stringent enough.
luton was passed recommending that q
one-way traffic zone be established
around the Public Library. which was
characterized as dangerous point.
Milton D. Smith proposed that the
Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
electric line swing its cars around
the triangular park bounded by 11tr
street, 18th street and New York avenue
instead of Masonic Temple, the point
now being considered.
Mr.. Hiatt spoke in opposition to the
establishment of skip-stops on the 14th
street car line in the vicinity of Har-
ward, Irving and Clifton streets, because
the streets cross 14th street irregularly
in that neighborhood and would result
in accidents.
William F. Peabody offered a resolu-
ton of thanks to Maj. Pullman for ad
ditional restrictions which he recently
placed on hacking automobiles. A. T.
Shoemaker suggested several minol
changes in traffic regulations. whicf

Body of Different Person Is Taken
From Morgue.

who died early in the morning in the
same ward in which Hale is a patient.
Officials of the hospital explained that
when krauser died at l o'clock yes
terday morning the night nurse got
the wrong telephone number and notl-
fed Hale's family instead. The day
nurse. it was stated, knew both men
by name. but the night nurse had only
the two telephone numbers to call in
the event the family of either man was
wanted.
When Mrs. Hale received the message
that her husband had died she notified
her undertaken, sent kilograms to out
of-town relatives and made arrange
ments with the pastor of the First
Congregational Church to hold services
tomorrow.
The undertaken obtained the neces-
sary removal permit from the health
department and proceeded to the hos
pital. In the hospital morgue there
was only the one body, that of krauser,
and the undertaken removed it to his
parlors and set about preparing it for
burial.
shortly before noon Mrs. Hale. de-
sirous Of learning exactly what time
her husband had died. called the hos
pital. Her inquiry brought the aston
ishing reply that her husband was not
dead fastening from her home, 1000
9Th street to the undertaker's. she con-
WINGED herself that the body there was
not that of her husband.
Krauser, the man who died. was
seventy-seven years old and a native
of Germany. He was brought to this
country while a baby and had been a
resident of Washington for nearly
seventy-three years. His home was at
514 ed street.

and read its page, but l have quit

times all loyal skates should

When people come from foreign
shores, and knock for entrance at

tongue we speak and drop their
Latin and their Greek; they
should forget the LIMOGES learned
where freedoms beacons never
burned, and when they join the
L. S. gang, they ought to learn
our helpful slang. In times of
peace l didn't care; I saw strange
journals here and there, all packed
with bughouse tale and screed
that no sane citizen could read.
IF hyphenated gents 1 thought,

reading honest English prose, it's
their own lookout, heaven knows"
