INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW
TO HANDLE GASOLINE
Cincinnati Man Tells How to
Avoid Explosions-Does Stunts
Average Man Can't Perform.

There is one man in Cincinnati
Ohio, who has no more fear of gaso-
line than water. He blows into the
spout Of a can of burning gasoline
which causes the flame to flare up
from the mouth of the can like a
torch; he pours burning gasoline
from n can into another with no
more fear than if he were pouring SO
much water. He extinguishes a
lighted wax taper by thrusting the
burning end into a can of gasoline
and it goes out with a sputter. he
upsets theories held for years, theories
others had better observe.
Ihis man who handles gasoline SO
~recklessly and escapes being blown
to pieces is Joseph Stubbers. Stub
bers has made gasoline a life study
n ne knows just what to do ana
does it at the right time, thereby
avoiding terrible explosions. He in
sists that gasoline in the liquid state
never explodes, and to prove that he
knows what he is talking about, he
fills a al nearly full of gasoline and
lights the fumes issuing from the
mouth of the can with a match. He
then blows into the spout of the can
and causes the flames to flare up like
a burning torch. When he stops
blowing the flames returns to the
mouth of the can and burns placidly
like so much oil.
Further to prove that liquid gaso-
line will not explode, he lights a can
of the liquid and pours the burning
fluid from one can into another-it
does not explode.
Gasoline only explodes when you
allow it to vaporize and mix with
air." says Stubbers. To prove this
he drops an empty can and allows a
few drops of gasoline to trickle into
it. He shakes the can vigorously to
vaporize the liquid and mix it with
the air in the can. He next takes q
long wax taper and holds the lighted
end to the mouth of the can. Instant
" there is a deafening explosion.
"This proves that only gasoline vapor
explodes and not the liquid, which Is
the same principle used in running
motor cars" declares Stubbers.
For the benefit of motor car own
ers who handle gasoline frequently,
and users of gasoline stoves, Mr..
Stubbers gives these "dont's," and If
needed, guarantees that there will be
no gasoline explosions.
Don't spill gasoline.
Don't fill the tank to the overflow
ing point.
Don't use a leaky funnel in filling
a tank.
Don't handle gasoline in a room
without ventilation.
Don't allow the liquid TO vaporize
in the presence of q flame.
Don't smoke while handling gaso-
line.
Don't forget it is the gasoline va
por that you can smell which does
the damage and not the liquid you
see.
Stubbers says if the average per-
son follows this advice there will be
no more gasoline explosions; that SO
per cent Of gasoline explosions orig
mate from someone spilling the liquid
gasoline and allowing the wasted IL
quid to vaporize and mix with the
surrounding air. It takes only a
small quantity of spilled gasoline tc
mix with a large amount of air tc
blow up a whole building.

THE DEVILS RESIGNATION.
The devil sat by a lake of fire on q

His head was bowed upon his breast,
his tail between his legs.
A look Of shame was on his face, and
the teardrops filled his eyes,
He had sent his resignation to the
throne up in the skies.
"Hell's no longer in it with the land
along the Rhine,
I'm a 'has-been' and a 'piker' and
therefore l resign.
I'm down and OUT the devil said: he
said it with a sob,
There's others that have shamed me,
and l want to quit my job.
Krupp, the ammunition maker, with
his bloody shot and shell,
Knows more about damnation than
all the mips in hell.
Give my job to Kaiser William, the
author Of this war;
He understands it better, a million
times or more.
l hate to leave the old home, the spot
love so well,
But l feel that I'm not up-to-date ii
the way of running hell"
