AGED FOUNDER | OF ). A. R. DIES
 AT HER HOME.

.. f. r
 PLYMOUTH, Mass, Nov. 11.--Mrs. Mary Lockwood, founder of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, died yesterday at her home here, aged ninety-one.
 Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, Little Mother to the Daughter of the Amer ican Revolution" was the last sur vivor of the little group of IS women patriots who organized that body more than 30 years ago; and despite her nearly full century of years, she was one of the most active members Of the organization almost up to the time of her last illness. Not only was Mrs. Lockwood identified with the founding and the progress of the D. A. R., but she was an active fig ure in the Women's Republican Or ganization, and also noted author. Her chronicles of Washington history, especially diplomatic and political, have placed her well up on the rolls of writers. Born at Chautauqua, N. Y., in 1881, Mrs. Lockwood was daugh. ter of the famous Smith family, founders of Smith College. Her great grandfather was Revolutionary sol dier; her grandfather lost his life in the battle of Black Rock, in which her father also fought, and her husband, Henry Lockwood, was soldier in the Civil War. It was to accompany him on part of his way to. the front that she went to Washington, where she lived for the remainder of her life,
 While the life of Mrs. Lockwood has been replete with many interest ing accomplishments, the outstanding work of her career was the founding of the D. A. R.
 The organization is frequently re- ferred to as something Hannah Arnett started,' for the reason that sentiment looking toward the erea- tion of patriotic body to commemo- rate the part played by women in the Revolutionary war was crystallized by the publication of Mrs. Loc1.wood's story of Hannah Arnett."
 The society was made national in scope instead of being organized by states, and its success was instan- taneous. Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, mistress of the White House at the time, was elected first President Gen. eral. The first conference of regents was called by Mrs. Harrison in 1881. and the first congress of the organiza. tion was held in Washington in 1892.
 In addition to her work with the D. A. R., Mrs. Lockwood took prominent part in the fight for equal suffrage, but when the Federal constitution was to permit women throughout the land to vote, she never enjoyed the privilege, for she had been a resi- dent of Washington so long she had forfeited the right of franchise.
 Aside from her memoirs and politi- cal writings, she has produced several volumes which give clear and exact history of Washington and of the many notable persons who have lived and worked there. Her book on the his- toric homes of the. city is regarded as an authority.
 Mrs. Lockwood Is survived by no close relatives. Her daughter. Miss Lillian M Lockwood, formerly busi- ness manager of the D. A. R. maga- zine, died several years ago, and her husband has been dead almost half a

"A w orking Force as

MAXWELL Chalmers Men

There was a simple little sign hung
up in an office at the main Maxwell
plant in Detroit the other day. This
sign was important because in a SEN
tence 1t expressed the attitude of the
new organization now building the good
Maxwell toward the thousands of en-
ployes of the great factories in the
MaxweQ-Chalmer group.
The sign said: "A Working Force
As Good As the Car" and it was hung
in the office of ]. N. Duncan, in charge
of personnel in the Maxwell plants.
"A good product is the result of good
labor" a Mr.. Duncan, discussing his
lob and its relation to making motor
cars. "And good labor means, Of

keep always in mind building our great
labor force, which has been increased
by nearly 5000 workers since the first

The use of high-powered automobiles
by bandits, daily thefts of payroils, the
apparent daring use of firearms by
hold-up men. and the inability of the
police to prevent crime committed by
h~ighwaymcn. has forced corporation
executives to seek a solution to a very
menacing problem, and an answer has
been found in a special type of armored
car. according TO Mr.. George Prentice
of the Prentice Auto company.
While the master-minds of the IN
derworld were scheming new robberies,
with ensuing loss of life. the heads of
big corporations in the East were fac
ing a critical situation, augmented by
tective Insurance." says Mr.. Prentice.
But insurance lovers only the
actual cash loss. lives beeing unpro-
tected and no retur of the vast amount
of energy needed in restoring lost
records.
A logical solution of the problem has
been found in the armored speed wagon,
engineers turning their attention to this
wartime device as the only hope to
cope with present day conditions. Speed
is essential, stability of construction
without excess weight. and yet the car
must offer the maximum efficiency.
The result of these conferences is
n practical type of aromred body
mounted on a chassis of dependable
construction and proven merit. One
of these armored cash carriers is seen
daily in the service of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad and
the body was built in accordance with
the ideas of Major Francis II. Schoef-
fel, head of their secret service and

railroad executives and engineers de-

three essential features of this type of
chassis, combined with rugged strength
and endurance under all conditions.

Washington, June 3lWith the prob
lem Of gasoline supplies and prices
agitating the nations millions of motor
lists, the bureau Of mines advances the
suggestion that by the more complete
condensation of still vapors at the pc
troleum refineries 12O,OOO.OW gallons
Of the precious liquid fuel may be
added yearly to the national output.
As the result of a detailed lnyestlga.
ton, D. B. Bow. petroleum engineer OF
the bureau, estimates that 5O,WN.OoV
gallons Of gasoline were recovered from
urcondensed still vapors at refineries
in 1921. Application of the system to
all r~efineries would give a possible re-
covery by this method of 1IO,OO0,OW
gallons yearly. !.
The calculations of the bureau Of
mines are based on results obtained
in refineries whose general methods
are more efficient than those employed
in the hundreds Of smaller skimming
plants that have no recovery systems.
II is assumed that in the less efficient
skimming plans, located in sections
where the supply of cold water, so es-
sential for condenser use, is scarce
greater recoveries could be made than
in the large refineries studied. This
should be especially true of Oklahoma.
North Texas and Louisiana skimmlng
plants. where summer temperatures are
high and where cold water is scarce. A
survey of these plants. it is believed,
would show that their losses in uncon-
densed still vapors would be much high
err than in the plants where the studies
of the bureau of mines were conducted.
Few Reflners Realize Loss
q The magnitude Of the loss from ION
condensation Of these vapors has been
realized only by few refiners. judging
from the number of plants that have
recovery systems. The ID refineries
studied by the bureau Of mines are OBJ
tanning 12S,651 gallons of gasoline
daily from uncondensed still vapors.
These plants are situated in the va
rious refining centers. other than the
Pacific coast, and are running crude
representative Of all the producing
oil fields east of the Rocky mountains.
In addition, several are running Mex
lean crude. Information from CalifOr-
MIA ~refineries indicates that on account
of the smaller gasoline content of the
California crudes. there are no recov-
cry plants of Importance in that state.
The average recovery of gasoline at
the refineries investigated by the bu-
reau Of mines amounted to "a gallon
per barrel Of crude oil charged.
Unless preventive measures are
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-06-04

.Wi1l Add to Gas Supply

/ adopted, losses Of gasoline from failure
to cOndense still vapOrs will increase
in the future. because crudes are being
handled in the field with more and
more care to avoid evaporation and will
therefore contain much lighter and
more volatile fractions than at present.
Condensation Of the vapors formed
by heating crude oil is effected in the
refinery by leading vapors through
coils of pipe submerged in water. On
cooling, most of the vapor becomes
IIiauified,. but a certain amount Of vapor,
due. to insufficient time for proper
cooling or the fact that its condensing
point is lower than the temperature
O the ewater, will remain un~condensed.
Also. CERTAIN other fractions will not
be condensed, for the reason that their
liQuefaction points are affected by the
presence of other hydrocarbons. A
small part of this ~uncondensed vapor
is dissolved in the liquid that has con-
densed.
Condensation of the vapors coming
from the still into liquid is accomplish
ed either by passing them through
pipes or shells having large surfaces
exposed to the air or through coils
submerged in water.
Air Temperatures a Factor
Atmospheric temperature is IN i'm
portant factor in the production of
gasoline from uncondensed refinery va
pors. 1t is found that during winter
months. due more to complete con-
d~ensation of the vapors, the production
of the 'gas" plant will fall off to some
extent. An unusual example of this
is a certain %skimming plant which pro-
|duces about 5000 gallons of compress
sion gasoline daily through the summer
months, but drops to as low as 900
gallons per day in the winter. Ordi-
narily. the difference is far less, but
there is always a tendency for produc-
ton to drop in cooler weather.
The cost of installing recovery plants
will necessarily vary with different
plants. depending on local conditions
such AS the distances between different
stills which are sources OF gas. the ma
ture of gas, especially in regard to sui
phur content, and the plant efficiency.
However. a cost of approximately $40
per gallon of gasoline daily capacity
should be sufficient. The operating
cost of the gas plant is relatively low.

vestigations is given in Serial 2344

ed still vapors." which may be OBJ
