NEW PARACHUTE LAUNCHING DEVICE MAY MAKE AVIATION
 SAFE FOR PEACE TIME NEEDS

self from parachute, and the aero
 plane and passenger with parachute
 previously attached, continuing to fall
 will presently cause the parachute to
 open out in usual manner and lift pas
 senger free from the aeroplane to de-
 scend safely.
 The aviator has only to pull trigger, Ithus firing the gun and discharglng
 the she'll with it's tow line attached,
 and wait for the parachute to launch i and open and lift him free from fall
 ing plane. The whole apparatus be- ing mounted and carried in place | ready for instant use. The tow line 1 and parachute are carried in separate
 containers having covers which auto
 matically open by movement of the
 tow line. The shell or projectile may
 be fired at use of a coil spring power
 ed gun or by compression air gun, as
 we'll as by explosive powder charged
 cartridge. It is estimated that the
 entire apparatus, including parachute,
 will not exceed 80 pounds in weights
 and being all contained within the
 skin of fuselage will not offer any wind resistance during flight of aero
 plane. T The>parachute should be fully laqn- . ched and have lifted the passenger free within less than three seconds after the discharge of shell. rr. The system is adaptable for several passengers by providing a life-saying !. unit for each erson. The particular merits of each type of launching gun 2 and style of shell or projectile carry ing tow line that launches the para r chute, and the most suitable length : and elastic resistance of shock absor- Der elastic ribbons, will be determin- s ed by experiment on the ground, and 3 with these details perfected the ap- ,, paratus is ready to try out with 150- pound sandbag dummy during flight. It is, however, more difficult for an e aeroplane in control to be manipulat- ' ed most favorably for launching this l. apparatus, since method will operate e more perfectly if aeroplane is actu. r. ally falling while out of control. and 'e this fact is an important distinction y to consider, as several other methods ' proposed toN accomplish this service n will only operate with certainty with > aeroplane in control or especially r. maneuvered favorably to launching o1 n parachute. There is psychologii. y cal consideration in the fact that ii 'e may be assumed that every aeroplane 2, passenger would have nerve enough Id to pull the trigger and await actior g of an automatic life-saving device "a whereas it would fbe a person of ex DO ceptional bravery who would JumI overheard in case of accident, espec 'f ially soon enough, even though he hat to favorable chance to do so, as woule W be required in use of any nonAauto er matic system for this\ purpose.

Red Crown Gasoline Conforms to United States Government
 Standard

All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied in the Pacific Coast States is refined to con- form to the United States Government Stand ard specifcations It is straight-distilled, adl- refinery gasoline having the full, uniform chain of boiling points necessary for full-powered, dependable gasoline: Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick, smooth acceleration, and high boiling points for power and mileage.

NURSES NOTE 4 SHOWS THE GRIT
 THAT WON WAR

Carter Glass, secretary of tho treasury, copied the following note, among others, from the note book of a Red Cross nurse when he was in France:
 "One boy I shall always remember. His right shoulder was practically all shot away and he had "a big wound in his back and one in his left eye. But he sat straight up and wouldn't let anybody help him. He didn't say word while they pulled of the tight clinging gauge from the red, raw, wet flesh that quiv- cred in spite of him. When the first wound was finished all he said was:

Boiling Points Tell the Story

Boiling points determine the vaporizing and combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide the action of the gas developed from gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. a'
 An ideal gasoline has boiling points in con- tinuous uniform chain. There must not be too many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in

What Is a Boiling Point?

/ A boiling point is the temperature at which liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.
 In distilling given quantity of gasoline the rehner ascertains at what point each 10 per cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap- orated or distilled In this way he determines what is known as the initial boiling point, as well as all intervening boiling points in the chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point.

The Gravity Test Discarded

The Governments Committee on Standardi- zation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its report: Ut will be noted that there are no grav- ity limitations in the specifications for aviation gasoline nor, in the specifications for motor gasoline which are given later, for it has been found that gravity is of little or no value in de- termining the quality of gasoline" The stand ards adopted by the United States Government are based on boiling points.

Boiling Points the Real Test

Gasoline is known to the reiner as one raem- Der of the petroleum family. He distinguishes each member of the family, not by gravity, but by boiling points. Gravity is a Aeeting stand ard of test, but boiling points are unchanging in their value and always determine the quality of the product. Knowing them the refiner can keep his product uniform and reliable.

The United States Government
 Standard Specifications for Gasoline

The United States Government standard specifications for gasoline are based on boiling points-not gravity. Drafted as they were by impartial Government experts, they are gener- ally considered, in the light of conditions today, as the, most practical standard for gasoline. They insure an efficient and satisfactory gaso- line and at the same time have due regard for the best utilization of our petroleum resources, and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the consumer.

 As combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas, the con- tinuous chain of boiling points-from the low to the high-is necessary for instantaneous fullpowered combustion Only straight-dis- titled, all-refnery gasoline can have the contin- uous, uniform chain of boiling points.

THE OLD HOUSE ON THE HILL

THE OLD HOUSE ON THE HILL.
The old house stands upon the hill,
The crickets sing beneath the sill,
The blinds are broken, worn and gray
And spiders spin their webs all day
Across the shattered window pane
All blurred and spattered with the
rain,
And brambles grow about the door
Where lilies bloomed in days of yore.
Within the ancient orchard old,
The ruddy apples red and gold
Are Just as sweet as in the years
When life was free from burning
tears;
And in the path the weeds are tall
And burdocks grow along the wall,
And there's charm | can't forget
That fingers round the old place yet.
The old house stands upon the hill,
And as ! cross the well worn sill
The crickets hush their piping song
And there's stiffness all along
The dusky hall and up the stair,
A stiffness like soul in prayer
And there's fragrance at the door
Where lilies bloomed in days of yore
Beside the tangled garden close
Where used to bloom the yellow
rose,
The burial plot is overgrown--
The moss is thick upon each stone
The graves are sunken-so | turn
And watch the crimson sunset burn
And then | wander down the hill,
Though memory fingers with me still
o, happy days! alas, alack,
would not seek to call you back
For we'll know earth's joys must end
And we must part, yes, friend with
friend.
But oh! the memory that must burn
The heart that ne'er will cease tC
yearn!
The haunting breath beside the door
Where lilies bloomed in days OF
yore!

A VISIT TO THE OLD HOME AND
GRAVEYARD.

The visit of my brother Eli and
myself to the old home and grave
yard was sad and lonely in many
ways, while at the same time it
brought many sweet remembrances
Of happy days gone by, while We met
many old friends, schOolmates and
neighbors on our way to the old
home graveyard. From there We
stayed over night with Cousin Ed
ward Tharp, then to our old home
stead upon the hill, then took dinner
with an old neighbOr on our way to
Hartyille, our old home town. There
We stayed over night with Peter
Young, an old friend of our fathers,
who gave US the news of the town
and the many changes of the people
of Hartville, as there have been
many new buildings go up since
last there, also saw much more i'll
terest taken in the way of farming on
our way back to the Wolf Creek store
as crops are looking good again since
the rain has ceased to some extent,
AS the women have helped the men
work them out in good shape. We
finished our visit over at H. NJ Nor
cross's farm, where we saw herd
of fine Poland China hogs, then re-
turned to the home of our brother,
D. D. Norcross and helped him work
out his crop then, while relating to
him our visit to our old home il
brought to mind happy by-gone days
and the deaths of many friends; then
returning home to Mansfield good,
growing town, l thought how fast
time changes everything, poetry as
follows, like many ON visit of this
kind. If | see this in print, | will
come again. HARVEY NORCROSS
