Liquefied Gas BOOms.

THE use of liquefied petroleum gas
has shown steady gain over
the last seven years which has
brought this industry to a really i'm
portant industrial rank
Certain of the gases such as butane.
pentance, and propane which formerly
were lost are now being compressed
into a liquefied product which has
been widely used for domestic pur-
poses where other forms of gas are
not available and now is beginning to
take an important place in industry
At the beginning of the seven-year
peariod, 4,532,000 gallons were pro-
duced, an increase of 314 per cent
over the previous year. Since then
the percentage of increase has fallen
eff but the quantity increase has held
fairly steady. Last year, the total
had grown to 48,173.000 gallons. a
gain over 1923 of better than a thou
sand per cent.

cut it five inches long by two inches
wide. In the top center cut long
slot about quarters of an inch
wide and about three inches long.
Directly below this slot cut a single
cross slit three-quarters of an inch
wide.
Now thread a string through these
cuts and tie large button on each
end of the string. The object of the
puzzle is to remove the buttoned string
without tearing the paper. Can you
do il?
1t is easy. Simply fold the long,
narrow, upper slot in the center and
push the fold through the small
cross slit below. Turn the paper over
and the buttoned string can easily
be removed through the opening made
by the fold without tearing the card.
To rethread the buttoned string,
simply place one button through the
opening in the fold made by the long
slot. then pull the slot back through
the small slit and smooth the paper
into original shape.

They've grown pretty messy while

The Spring cleaning had to be rushed
