IN MEMORIAM.

In loving memory of our dear
mother, Mrs. Priscilla Mason, who
departed this life one year ago June
Is, 1923.
One year has passed, oh how we miss
thee
God in heaven alone can tell
Dearest Mother We have laid thee
In the peaceful grave embrace.
Oh how sudden was the summons
When the word came she was dead
Time was too short to say farwell,
To the one we loved so we'll.
More and more each day we miss her
Some may think the wound is healed,
But little they know of the sorrow
That's within our hearts concealed.
We do not know the pain she bore
We did not see her die,
We only knew her dear life fled
Before she could say good bye.
WIENER we speak her loving name,
My eyes with tears are wet,
Our loss is great, We'll not complain,
But trust in God to meet again.
HER CHILDREN.

Improved Gas Generators

Gas generators are now beginning
TO be used by French automobile in
dustries to replace gasoline as a
source of power in agricultural mo-
tors such as tractors and plOws. The
new gas generator has recently
been tried in an automobile. It burns
any fuel, coal, coke, anthracite or
wood charcoal. The gas produced
contains 33 per cent Of cOmbustible
gas, Of which about 80 per cent is
carbon monoxide. The absence OF
hydrogen is said to make it superior
to generators developing water gas
since hydrogen is a gas hard to use In
motors. The gas produced in the
new generators is purified and air
cooled before using.

Frenchmen Make
Synthetic Gas

Paris. Two Frenchmen report
they have succeeded in devising q
process by which synthetic oil and
gasoline could be produced cheaper
than the modern variety.
They are Andry Bourgeois and G.
Oliver. They have been working on
this process for several years in their
laboratory at Asnieres.
The fuel and oil are said to be de-
rived from water and carbon The
gasoline obtained could be sold at one
third the price asked for it today, say
the inventors, and the oil could also
be obtained at cheaper cost.
Plans are being made for construc-
tion of factories in various parts of
France, where this oil and gasoline
could be made.
