Chicken hawks are great menace
to the farmers, as they steal their
chickens, pigeons and other small crea-
lures. The great danger of them, in
France, was OF their preventing the
delivery of military messages carried
by pigeons. French children are
taught, in schools. how to catch these
hawks and are paid ten cents each for
every bird and egg of the bird that is
brought in. These hawks resemble an
American eagle and have wing
spread of three feet. The bird lays
two eggs year. This photo shows
one of the birds which has been
caught by an American trooper in

FUEL IS 0. K.
Tried in Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.
Used in Everything From Trucks and
Tractors TO Airpl7nes, Say
Inventors.

Was ngton.-"Liberty fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
Maj. Oliver B. Zimmerman and Capt.
e. c. Weisgarher of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart
ment, has proved It's practicabiiity in
extensive tests in automobiles, motor
cycles, motortrucks. tractors, station
airy engines and airplanes.
'The net results" said Major Tim
norman, Showed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline in the highest types
of gasoline engines, refined to the lin
it of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter. Ii never
theless develops a greater thermal eff
ficieney than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced in
varying grades to meet the require
ments Of the several types OF gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline, which IS
largely all of one grade, the new fue,
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks. tractors. airplaHa
enri1es or any other type of gas en-
CINE.
at VIII be possible in the future for
a person to drive UP TO filing sta
ton and secure exactly the grade of
fuel required for his particular ma
chine. This win result in more salts
factory service from every gasoline
machine in the market and give the
motor owner a maximum Of efficiency
for minimum of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding its fu-
ture possibilities.
For cbyi0us reasons Major thinner
man and Captain Weisgarber are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" Its base is kero-
sene and some of the other materials
used are said to be drug on the
market at present.
Major Zimmerman states that mo-
tors using this fuel start more easily
than with ordinary gasoline, that the
fuel explodes at temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
is greater and it is safe against prema
ture explosions.

Correct SPELLING.

One of the most polished and palms.
taking of English authors regarded
correct spelling as totally unneces-
sary accomplishment. In his introduce
ton to Il. l.. Stevenson's letters, Sid
ney Colvin writes: Il have not held
myself bound to reproduce all the au-
thor's minor eccentricities of spelling
and the like. AS all his friends are
aware, to spell in quite accurate and
grown-up manner was thing which
this master of English letters was nev-
er able to learn"

CASTOR OIL FROM ORIENT
Thousands OF Gallons Are Coming
Through the Port of
Seattle.

Seattie, Wash.-Thousands of gal
Ions of castor oil are coming through
this port from the Orient, and ii has
been largely due 10 this importation
that Americas airplane performance
in the war has been so successful.
Castor oil has proved to be the best
lubricant for airplane motors, but its
production in this country was lin
tied.
The United States government en-
couraged the planting of castor beans,
but the crop was failure. In the
Orient crops have been exceedingly
bountifui. 1t is believed the stream
of oil flowing into this country soon
will be increased owing to the use of
airplanes on mail routes.
