PROVING THAT "W0MAN PAYS"
Tragedy Of War None the Less Pitifu
Because Not Expressed In
Blood and Fire.

Upstairs in the big hospital young
woman was greeting her soldier fianee
back from Flanders, badly wounded.
In the waiting room the Woman Who
Saw tried to kill time by writing let
ter.
Suddenly the page grew blurred, and
the pen stopped. Willy-nilly, she was
listening to one Of wars tragedies,
albeit this was not expressed in blood
and fire. For the sergeant with the
bandaged arm was telling the girl who
sat beside him on the sofa that he no
longer cared for her. Like the stroke
of bludgeOn came his words, carrying
clearly to the listener, who could not
stop her ears.
"Tm sorry, but care for her more,
that's all. Perhaps if I'd never seen
her we'd have got along all right. But
I did, and as soon as / can send for
her I'm going to marry her. was bill
leted with her mother, and we got ac-
quainted. and 1t just happened. Sorry,
but 1t can't be helped. Her names
Marie" he concluded.
And then silence fell heavily. Not q
word spoke the rather plain-l0OkIng
girl beside him. Nor did she cry. After
little she took from her hand a ring,
with such a tiny stone, and thrust 1t at
him.
"Give it to- her." she said. And with
out q hacn ward glance she left the

Restoring Oil PAINTINGS.

To repair an oil painting which
shows blemishes, such as cracks, pro-
ceed as follows: Fill a shallow dish
with alcohol and place the picture face
downward over 1t, taking care that 1t
does not actually touch the liquid. The
fumes from the alcohol rise to the
paint, and in a few minutes the cracks
fill up and the colors appear bright
and new. 1t Is necessary to watch the
process closely, for if the painting IL
exposed to the fumes too long the
colors will run together and the pic
ture will be spoiled. With reason
able care this should never happen.
and old paintings which would other
wise have to be thrown away can be
made as good as new.

Exploration Of caves in South Berk-
shire, Conn, resulting in the discovery
Of stalactites and stalagm!tes, big white
spiders weaving their webs, bats in
crusted In the crystals and a subma-
rlne brook, made Jack Newboy of Len
oxdale recall the day that he went
rabbit hunting in the Patterson woods.
Newboy's dog chased rabbit into
cave. Jack waited outside for re-
suits. He waited two hours, called the
dog, and, getting no results, went
home. He found the dog was at home
and had the rabbit. Pat, his brother,
explained:
II was fishing on a lake not far
from the shore when heard a commo-
tion in the water near by and was sur
prised to see q rabbit in the water.
As I reached the spot the dog came to
the surface, swan after the rabbit and
captured him."-New York World.

The plant for reducing kelp, erected
at San Diego, CAL, at a cost Of $780,.

The venerable ex-senator. relating
the circumstances of Mr.. Roosevelt's
political debut in 1880, quoted "a Re-
publican. district leader" as suggesting

though highbrow according to his
lights, was not the simon-pure article.
His was not "a superior attitude
toward the generality Of mankind"
but only toward certain political rep
resentatives of it. The real highbr0w

cursions into the origins Of words are

of supply, and have sunk many new
wells. Oil refners and chemical en-
gineers have been improving process
ses of refining, which have made the
crude il yield more gasoline than was
thought possible ten years ago. Au-
tomobile engineers have constantly
improved the efficiency of engines
and the methods of carburization, so
that the gasoline used will give the
greatest power and mileage.
In spite of all that has been done
the war made it necessary to take
still further measures to keep up the
supply. The demand had become so
great that the Fuel Administration
was forced to prohibit in Eastern
States all non-essential use of pas
senger automobiles, and for a time
this request was so extended that on
ly automobiles in Government, emer-
gcncy or war service were in use on
Sunday. Fortunately the motorist Of
the Pacific Coast was not required to
undergo this hardship. Enough gas
oline was produced in California for
all Pacific Coast needs and its dis
tribution did not require the use Of
Transportation facilities needed for war
purposes.
However, so great was the need of
conserving gasoline in all parts of
the country that President Wilson
appointed government committee
llar+ c,,mroer to determine on and i'd
/ opt standard specifications for gas
oline and other petroleum products.
This committee consisted Of the U.
Is. Fuel Administration and represen-
tatives of the War Departments, the.
u. S. Shipping Board, the Director
General Of Railroads, the Bureau of
Standards. It was assisted and adj
vised by technical experts from each
of these departments and bodies. Aft
i,er extended discussions, tests, and
:exneriments this committee adopted
specifications for gasoline, not only
for aviation purposes, but also for
general motor use. They were drawn
up with view to providing a grade
of gasoline that would meet every
requirement and yet allow the great
est production. They mean that ouI
petroleum resources will be conserv-
ed to the best advantage and that g
reasonable price to the motorist will
be maintained.
/ Drafted as they were by impartial
!. experts these specifications are today
generally considered the most prac.
1 tical standard for gasoline since they
insure efficient and satisfactory fuel
alta, reasonable cost.
These specifications for gasoline
are for the benefit of the public as
a whole. They make certain salts.
factory gasoline and at the same
time assure future supply by using
the crude oil to the best advantage
by eliminating all waste.
The Standard Oil company reports
that Red Crown gasoline is now re-
fined to conform with these United
States Government standard specifi-
cations. It is gasoline saving the full
and continuous chain of boiling
/
points for easy starting, medium boil
ing points for power and mileage.

Professor Cimician noted certain
