Broadcasts Appeal
For Support of Navy
Through N. Y. Station

New york. oct. 26.-(AP)-An APP
peal l9r continued public support of
,he navy was made tonight by Ad-
lhirai u. W.. Eberle, chief of naval
operatlons, IN Navy day radio ad-
dress on THE Ideals of the Navy,
broadcast from station VIZ
Reviewing the development OF the
navy and mentioning the lack of in
terest In 1t after some of the earlier
wars, an attitude which many Presi-
dehts strived to overcome, Admiral
Eperie said the Navy hopes that the
country will never lose interest in It
again. 1t is your Navy and we are
responsible to the President and
through him to you for the results we
accomplish" he said. 1T will help us
In our endeavors if we feel that the
people are back of u.s."
Discussing recent accidents, Ad-
miral Eberle declared with SO many
SHIPS In constant operation under a
great variety of exercises and rills in
all sorts of conditions, the navy can
not avoid some accidents.
The only way to stop them" he
asserted, would be to cease operating
Our accidents are due in some cases
TO the cault of our own personnel, in
others to the fault of persons out
side the naval service, and in still
others to unusual circumstances over
which no one has any control. other
navies have their accidents also.
The loss of the Shenandoah does
not compare with the German disas-
ter OF January 1918 when five air.
ships and all their hangers were
burned. 1t was an inspiration to us to
read the statement of the Shenan-
doah witness who said that during ali
r fn he fta
crash no word was said in the control
car In other than the usual tone of
VOICE and that this applied particular
" TO Captain Lansdowne. Those men
knew their peril but remained quietly
at their posts and literally obeyed
Lawrence's command Don't give up
the ship"
Turning to the mission of the Navy
in peace and in war, Admiral Eberle
recalled that 'the foundation of our
War College instruction is the princi-
pie that the Army and Navy are no
more than instruments to carry out
the wishes of the government"
I'VE make no recommendation or
suggestions as to the national poll
cies," he continued. TT is feared by
some that naval o;cers will stir up
trouble with other countries. Such
has never been the case. While 1t is
our custom to avoid trouble in peace
time or anything which might incite
war, once war is declared by civil au-
thority, the attitude of the Navy
chances. We believe in the offensive
in war. In every war we have fought
the Navy has. carried the fight into
enemy waters. Our country will de-
mand that we go for the enemy and
we wish to be prepared to carry out
that order. while our naval history
has not been without it's mistakes, it
requires no proof to show that our
record has been successful one"

Discovery of "Cold"
Gas InSures Lower
Cost of Well Operation

snyder, Tex, Oct. 27.-(AP)-A
vast reservoir of cold" :. non-infiam-
mable gas has been discovered in the
oil fields of this section and is being
used to operate machinery and pumps.
The gas is said to insure the most
economical operation in the history of
oil production. Small wells, which
otherwise would require more oil for
their boilers than they could produce
are now operating at a profit.
For a time the gas mystified oil men
and chemists, but 1t finally has been
analysed as an air containing about SO
per cent nitrogen.
One of the strange sights here Is to
see boilers producing pressure without
fire. The gas is run into the boilers
and In two minutes pressure OF 120
pounds is attained. From the boiler
the ''air" is carried under pressure
through the usual steam lines to
pumps and machinery.
The air has been used to drill three
different. wells within a radius OF
three miles. Additional producers
have all struck this gas in sufficient
quantities to finish their wells.
Men in the field use the air for any
thing steam would accomplish. All
they need to do is to turn the air into
the boiler, which merely acts as a
reservoir to equalize pressure. 1t also
is used to initiate automobile tires and
for refrigeration.
Watermelons, milk, water, or any
thing the men wish to cool is placed
under the exhaust of an engine, which
is covered with ice instead of being
hot with steam. A watermelon lett
under. the exhaust for two hours Will
freeze solid.
The air itself Is not actually cold
hut the release of pressure produces
the effect of cold, similar to the pro-
cess of manufacturing ice with am
monia under pressure.
The gas makes between three and
five million cubic feet day, from the
first WELL with a rock pressure OF
more than 500 pounds.

had this to say about his home
apartment:
"As the old homes that have
been landmarks. disappear from
Fifth Avenue, one wonders why
the change is taking place. The
great increase in value of the land
and the heavy carrying charges
make 1t too expensive even for the
very wealthy to continue their es-
adjustments for few months &C.
cupancy each year. For instance.
the taxes on the Vanderbilt Chat
eau last year were about $4,000.
1t Is interesting to note that II the
thirty blocks between 62nd Street
and END Street were solidly built
to apartments they would accom-
modate not more than 400 famil-
les. This however must be dis
counted 500 because OF restricted
property and that which is &C.
cupied by homes too modern and
palatial to now destroy.
For many years I have made
my home on Park Avenue, long
recognized as one of the most de-
sirable apartment house streets In
New York. Recent changes in
traffic regulations together with the
closely built-up character OF the
buildings. caused me to look about
for q more open space where more
sunlight, air and q view of Central
Park would be available.
ut was at this point that the
idea OF building a home on Fifth
Avenue came to me. I bought this
six hundred thousand dollar cor
ner shortly after the restrictions
were lifted. In this History build

lilies. Each floor represents the
most careful and painstaking re-
search in order to incorporate
every feature Of convenience. Those

selves Of suitable background

mendous carrying charges OF q

WINSLOW
Ida Nj. MURRAY

The many friends in WINSTON and
Waterville of Ida M. Murray were
greatly shocked and saddened to
learn Monday of her death which
occurred Sunday night at the home
OF her sister, Mrs. Perham Potter of
beacon street, Winslow, after a.
weeks illness from influenza. Miss
Murray was taken i'll while in the
school room last week and although
II was known that she was in a SER
lous condition, her death comes as a
great shock to her relatives and
friends.
The deceased was born in Water
vile on July IL, 1871, and has al
ways lived in Waterville and Win
slow, being a teacher in the Water
vile public schools for % years.
She was member of the Advent
Christian church in Waterville, and

Mrs. Perham Potter of Winslow. at

and an aunt, Mrs. Ida ireland of
Norridgewock.

from the Advent church in Water
vile at Z o'clock Wednesday, Rev.
I. J. Coolbroth officiating.
Miss Murray was very popular
among her teaching associates, and
n great favorite with her scholars
and with children in general. Her
death will be keen loss to all who
kne wher, and her place cannot be
readily filled, in fact, never. She
was conscientious in her work, a
splendid woman of high character,
and a pleasing personality, which
won for her the host of friends who
will extend the deepest sympathy to
those nearest her.
The Fort Halifax Boys and Girls
Club will hold their local contest at
the Winslow Congregational church
parlors on Thursday evening, Oct.
18th. The evenings activities will
begin at seven-thirty promptly.

work of the club, food table, also
a sale table of miscellaneous articles,
and as before stated, 1t would be
greatly appreciated IL anyone hav-
ing salable articles that they would
care to donate to this cause, would
leave them at Miles store where
they will be called. for. A program
will follow the selling of the arti-
cles.
Chester Ellis of Augusta was a
business caller in town Monday.
The Ladies' Division of the Win
slow Farm Bureau will hold an all
day meeting Thursday at the church
parlors. The purpose or the meeting
is to finish the trays begun at the

tives in town Monday.
