Yellow Gasoline as Good as White.

Yellow Gasoline as Good as White.
If motorists realized that their preiu-
dice against yellowish gasoline was I'M
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
slightly yellowish tinge.
Another handicap in the industry, &C
cording to petroleum experts, is the
necessity for redners treating gasoline
with sulphuric acid and caustic soda
to remove unsaturated hydrocarbons,
which have high fuel value in an ex-
plos1on engine. It is estimated that
there is loss of $1O,OOO,OOO year in
the United States through these preju-
dfces, represented by 100000 gallons
of gasoline, $4,000 tons Of sulphuric
acid and $500 tons Of caustic soda.

Greenbush Red Cross.

The >Greenbush Red Cross wishes to
thank James Kenely and wife for the
hospitality and loyalty they show by
lending their home and help to our
ladies each Tuesday for their sewing
room. A goodly number attend but
more could be accommodated with
work, and an urgent invitation is ex-
tended, the northeastern quarter es-
pecially is not very we'll represented.
Do come and sew and enjoy your
selves.
At the present high prices the ma
terial which we buy for sewing
amounts to about $25 per week. To
be able to meet this expenditure and
still keep above board we are greatly
indebted to the Estes Brook people,
who gave play and social. We re-
ceived $40, the total proceeds.
Glendorado, and Santiago were pa
triotic as usual. They divided with us
on a $3.50 basis. Princeton came to
the front as it always does and our
end of the program was $65.
Now, Greenbush, we are doing a
great work. We should be proud of
our branch. Let us get our heads to-
gether and do something greater. How
about big rousing auction? Think
it over.

Greeks in Turkish Territory.

Professor Andreade of the Univer-
sity of Athens, who is specialist on
the extent Of Greek citizenship beyond
the Greek frontiers-in Macedonia
and the other Balkans, in Turkey,
Syria and Asia Minor pointed out the
great predominance Of the Greeks in
the regions to be evacuated by the
Turks if they are to leave Europe.
The whole vilayet, or province, Of
Adrianople, extending from the Bal
kans down to Constantinople, he de-
clared, is as much Greek as it is Turk
and with the Turks out it is practical
" ali Greek. Even Constantinople, !.
he said, "is a Greek city the largest
Of Greek cities with a population Of
$50, 900 Greeks. That gives an idea Of
the extent Of Greek citizenship in all
this section down to the straits, which
will have to be considered on the basis
Of nationality and race, when the Turk
leaves Europe. 81

ministration show that the grand total
Of all food exported to the four allies

THE GREAT WAR HAS MADE
CIGARETTES A NECESSITY

etOur boys must have their smokes.
Send them cigarettes!" This is a
familiar appeal now to all of us.
Among those most in demand is
the now famous toasted" cigarette
LUCKY STRIKE. Thousandsof this
favorite brand have been shipped to
France. There is something home
like and friendly to the boys in the
sight of the familiar green packages
with the red circle.
This homelike, appetizing quality
Of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is
largely due to the fact that the Burley
tobacco used in making it has been
toasted. ''It's toasted" was the ttslo.
gan" that made great success of
LUCKY STRIKE in less than year.
Now the American Tobacco Co. is
making Is million LUCKY STRIKE
Cigarettes day.
A good part of this immense pro-
duction is making its way across the
water to cheer our boys The Red
Cross has distributed thousands Of
LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes.

FILLING / |. 1. II HER CLUB NIGHTS.
How One Girl Succeeded in Danish.
58ss ING Loneliness Caused by Civ 33|5#8
S$.f5 ing Up Old Custom.

Barbara Carson felt bored as she
sat toying with her book under the
light Of the table lamp after dinner.
It was club night for the girls of her
set, and she pictured them enjoying
the excitement of the lights and the
music as she had done every week
through the winter. 81 .ss NJ
She had had to admit, however. that
the tone Of the club-night dances had
gradually grown lower as the winter
wore on, and she had made up her,
mind to break away from this group of
young people. She wanted to attach
herself to persons who were more
worth while.
In remaining away tonight she had
taken the first step, but she had not
realized how hard it was going to be.
Just then her mother entered the
room and noticed the troubled look in
her eyes. .#s
''What is the matter, dear?' she
asked. "Has something made you I'M
happy?" '
No. said Barbara, mot exactly
that, but didn't realize how deadly
dull it was going to be to spend club
night at home"
"Aren't you trying to take something
out of your life without putting any
thing else. in it's placer" asked her
mother. '"The Bible speaks about our
overcoming evil with COOS. You are
trying to overcome it with nothing.

his soul-house and then left it empty.
The result was that the old evil spirit
came back and brought seven other
worse devils with him. And, as Christ
tells us, the last state of that man
merely had a soul to let. Where he
made his mistake was in not getting in
some good tenants to take the places
Of the ones he had turned out. The
Italians have proverb that says that
the busy man is vexed with only one
devil, the idle one with seven. It IL
Illustrates the old saying that, if you
want to keep chaff out of the gran
airy, fill it with grain.
''The point of all this is that, if you
are trying to break bad habit, you
had better start good habit to take
it's place rather than to sit thinking
how wretched you are. would sug-
gest that you start now to make an
engagement for every club night dur
ing the rest Of the season. Give your
self something interesting to do that
night; something positive to, take
your mind in another direction in
stead Of leaving it to revolve on
nothing"
II hadn't thought of it in that way,
mother" said Barbara. II believe
you're right. Only the other day Mar
jorie Sears said she wished some Of
us girls could get together one evening
week to do some Red Cross work. I
believe I'll call up now and ask her
to come over and help me make some
plans."

looking for lodgings with me on club
nights hereafter will find that / have
