BU!LT-IN TANKS
BIC GARAGE AID
Among Other Advantages,
Provide Means of Less
ening Fire Risk.

Nearly every owner of car has
looked with envious eyes at various
kinds Of gasoline storage tanks and
wished he had the advantages they
provide in the way of lessening fire
risk, making possible the purchase of
gasoline in quantity at lower cost, and
furnishing convenient method of
filling the car while in the garage.
Very little new can be told about
these tanks or the method of Installing
them. but 1t is possible to provide one
for less expense than would be imag-
ined. Any car owner can put in a
tank at cost Of only few dollars fer
material If he will give his own time in
making the installation.
inexpensive Materials.
The materials required are 55-gal-
lon oil tank. obtainable at a cost of
about 80; about five feet of pinch
wrought iron pipe; approximately eight
feet of three-quarters-inch iron pipe /;
one three-quarters-inch pipe nipple;
one Pinch pipe cap; one three-quar-
ters-inch globe valve; two three-quar-
ters-inch pipe elbows; four feet of flex-
ible metal tubing, or fabric tubing. 1
inch inside diameter; and one air valve,
such as is used with an inner tube.

2OO-Meter Work Makes
Interesting Listening

There is some interesting stuff in the
air down below the wave length used
by the lowest of the broadcasters. It's
no use to listen down there until 10 80
p. IN. or later, because the amateurs,
80 per cent of them, keep off the air
during broadcasting hours. From eleven
O'Clock on, however. even If you do not
read code. there is some interesting
amateur phone traffic on 200 >.peters
and lower. You'll find 1t extremely
sharp and requiring care in tuning.
Perhaps, too, you'll begin to realize
what you are missing by not knowing
the code. If so, you can get chart of
the code and you'll find plenty of op-
portunity for practice in reading any
night after eleven o'clock II you tune
down to the 200 meter band.

Gaskets Very Necessary
to Prevent Gas Leakage

In order to secure liquid or gas
tight Joint, even between fat, accu-
rately machined or ground surfaces
that are fastened together, a packing
of compressible material must be used
between them which, when the surfaces
are drawn together by the bolts or
other means of fastening, will distort
to conform to the slight Irregularities
that may exist, and thus secure leak
less contact. says the Automobile Di-
gest. If the gasket material does not
yield to the Irregularities of the sur
faces In contact with 1t, 1t cannot seal
the joint. Owing to the necessity Of
using compressible material. 1t usually
becomes necessary to replace them
when removed. Their replacement Is
thus frequently required and evasive
trouble is often caused by new gaskets
which blow out due to defective install
lation.

Thre,u Old Gems Awax

Here's the best yarn that has come
out Of British drawing room for
some time. A great aristocrat and
political leader gave a big dinner par

The wife Of new-rich was sitting
opposite the wife Of labor leader.
Somebody talked about jewelry.
Mrs. New-Rich spoke up:
II clean my diamonds with am.
monla. my rubies with Bordeaux
wine. my emeralds In Danzig brandy,
my sapphires In fresh milk. And you,
dear friends?'
So saying she turned condescend.
ingly to the labor leaders wife.

latter silkily. "When they are dirty

Bakelite Regarded as
One of Best Insulators

The insulating material, bakelite,
that is used so extensively for radio
panels and parts, is really very COM
plicated substance. and when the
scientific man wants to talk about 1t
he has to call 1t by the tongue-twlsting
and brain-exhausting name, oxybezyl-
methylenglycolanhydride. 1t is con-
densation product Of phenol and for
maldehyde, is very fine insulator and
has great heat, moisture and acid-re-

the overshadowing matter of the
 national election. Labor confronts this great struggle with the determi-
 nation to carry forward the banner of progress, justice and democracy and to record in broader terms q vic tory such as was won last year. Labor will participate not only in the final election, but in the selection of candidates in the primary elections everywhere.
 "On the industrial field there will be great issues. We look back upon 1923 with qualification. We have achieved much for which all wage earners may be thankful: much that means for greater freedom and a bet ter life in the future. But the future is not the past and the future brings its fresh struggles.
 50 long as there are men who think and act only in terms of profit, labor must be yigilant. And whiie there is a wage earner unorganized labor must organize. Rights that have been won must be held. Ameri- can labor has abundantly justified its organized existence. The wage earners of America enjoy higher standards Of living than those Of any other country. They have q fuller, better life in every respect. They labor with the mighty machinery Of our land and produce more per man and in the aggregate than the toilers of any other land; they come nearer to being masters of the machines with which they work than do the workers in any other land. And. in addition, they do not have their hands at the throat of their govern ment, as is the unhappy case in so Inany other countries.
 During 1924 we shall seek to per feet our organizations, to increase our solidarity, to improve our standards. to come one step nearer to our ideal. We shall seek to carry forward our great concept Of industrial demo- cracy, which means freedom of man kind in industry through the exer- else of an effective voice in the coun- cis of industry--the building of an and glorious industrial life that shall make America great | beyond dreams.
