2. Don't leave burner which has
just been lighted without checking
for the efficient safe flame. Burners
improperly adjusted are fire hazards
as we'll as producers of odor, SCOT,
and smoke.
3. Don't put up with uneven flame.
Time and fuel are wasted. Check
with manufacturers books of direc-
tions for method of correcting un-
even wicks.
4. Don't wash chimneys while hot.
never use harsh abrasives or sharp
objects to clean surfaces. Dry thor
oughly.
5. Don't use sharp objects to clean
wicks or asbestos rings.
6. Don't put heavy things on oven
door. If the door is sprung heat
and fuel are wasted.
z. Don't allow oven to overhead.
This not only wastes fuel but causes
the oven Innings to warp and wear
out.
s. Don't keep burned matches in
open container on tray below burn
ers or allow oil to collect. Many
fires have started from such care
lessness.
9. Don't store the range where 1t

conditions or where it would likely
be harmed.
10. Don't force the feed pipe cap
| If difficult to remove, use penetrat-
ing oil around joint. Let stand for
short period of time before again
trying to remove cap.
IL. Don't force wick in wick tube
The ratchet wheel may be broken
Remove burner bowl and boil wick
tube in sal soda water e table
spoons sal soda to / gallon water)
until wick is dislodged and easy to
remove. Dry all parts before re-
placing on feed line.
II. Don't drop chimneys or other
removable parts of range. The metal
chimneys are finished with porcelain
enamel which will break easily with
such treatment. Once the enamel
has come off the metal base will be-
gin to rust.
13. Don't waste heat retained in
burner or oven.
ID. Don't tighten burner packing
nut too tightly, as this may dam
age the packing and cause oil to seer
through joint.
Is. Don't use chimney which has
holes formed in it caused by rusting
These openings permit too much ail
to enter chamber and combustion
will be incomplete. Fuel is wasted
and smoke and odor are produced.
16. Don't spill kerosene on any
painted surface.

When she left the country in 1888

dious means, was available.

large Pan-American air liners. Most
| of the planes have been altered, with
the suites dismantled, in order to
allow the most possible room for
| urgent military business, Miss
Schneck stated.
FIVE Rooms IN PLANE
The plane, in which she had pas
sage, had five large rooms, and in
| addition the kitchen galley, rest
| rooms, engine control rooms, room
for the crew, and baggage compart-
ment.
Although there were 72 passengers
and crew of IL in the plane there
was sufficient room for the children
| to run and play up and down the
aisles while the huge craft was zoom-
| ing through the atmosphere at 200
miles per hour. The 5000 mile trip
was made in DO flying hours, Miss
Schneck stated.
The clipper is designed to fly at
the relatively high altitude of 10000
feet. They have a cruising range
of 3,100 miles and the four Wright
engines develop 5000 horsepower.
Two DECKS
The big hull is divided into two
decks. The upper deck is for crew
use containing complete navigation
facilities as well as the regular
transport cockpit equipment. There
are separate stations for the flight
engineer and radio operator. Sleep
ing accommodations for the crew and
cargo compartments are also provid-
ed on the upper deck
Passengers dine in the large CEN
tral room on the first deck and the
pre-war clippers even had bridal
suite located near the tail of the
plane. The seats can be converted
into berths for the passengers at
night.
The dining room when not used
for meals is quickly converted into
lounge room and at the rear of
the passenger cabin is deluxe
stateroom. Dressing rooms are also
provided for the passengers.

in operation 45,546 miles of air
routes serving A countries. The

Hints For Keeping Your Kerosene
Range At Top Operating Efficiency

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
seventh an series of articles
giuing information designed to
prolong the life of oarsous
household appliances sohose man
ufactare has been practically
eliminated By the aoar.
Observation of few simple rules
in the care of the family kerosene
range will prolong its life for the
duration and likely for long time
after that, it was indicated in re-
port made public by the home man
agement specialists from Ohio State
university.
The following Dos and Don'ts
have been suggested as important
. for the conservation and maintenance
of the efficiency of the kerosene
range:
DO
/. Use a good grade of kerosene.
Neuer use a mixture of kerosene and
gasoline.
2. Check all replacement parts to
see if they are made specifically for
your particular stove.
8. Clean the wicks daily. (Asbes-
tos rings weekly. A paper napkin
is very satisfactory for this purpose,
A. Be sure range is level. Burn
ers on ranges which are not level dc
not operate properly and may be haz-
ardous as well.
5. Clean the feed line at least
twice a year. Use kerosene to flush
out pipe. Never use water.
6. Replace mica sheets in windows,
whenever necessary. Incomplete COM
bustion will result because of in
creased air supply through broken
section of mica.
7. Avoid spillovers.
s. Turn burner off Immediately II
food has spilled on chimney or in
burner.
9. Remove spilled food immediate
". If surface is hot allow to cool
before washing.
10. Be sure wicks operate correct
" before lighting. Lodged wicks
in burner tubes are fire hazards.
II. Remove and clean the burner
bowls at least every two or three
years, or more often if necessary.
Dry them thoroughly before replac-
ing.
II. Be sure to re-seat burner
bowls properly. Packing nut may
need to be replaced if packing has
been disturbed.
IS. Keep all screws, pins, and bolts
tight.
IA. Be sure the burner bowl and
chimney are seated correctly SO that
the heat is directed upward and to
the utensil Immediately over the
chimney.
15. Prepare the range for storage
Remove wicks; clean wick tubes, anG
feed line; drain kerosene; rub al
parts likely to rust with stove oil
and store in clean, dry place. Wrap
chimneys and grids in moisture re-
sistant paper.
10. Use utensils as large or larger
than chimney. This prevents loss of
heat and protects chimney and burn
er from spillovers.
IT. Adjust flame height slowly in
asbestos ring or wickless type range
burners. If the entrance of more
kerosene into the burner bowl is
sudden the flame may rise consider
ably above the utensil, causing odor
and SCOT.
Is. Raise chimneys on short drum
wick type burners after turning con-
troll device to off position. This avoids
odor and smoke when the burners
are lighted again.
-. Keep fuel tank out of sun and
away from other sources of heat.
DON'T
|. Don't place the stove where it
will be in a draft.

'"!'wtt* WASHINGTON
JGITl::::iTl

Washington, D. C.-"Expect lit
tie and you'll not be disappoint-
ed" Rep. Earl Wilson of Indiana,
wrote his constituents in regard
to the new session of congress.
Representative Wilson declared
that congress has no program and
that most members of both par
ties are primarily concerned with
getting reelected next year.
The black picture painted by
Representative Wilson may be
over-pessimistic. But there is in
creasing evidence that politics,
which congress finally did side
track on few occasions during
the past year, will from now on
play stronger and stronger part
in the consideration of all legis-
1ation.
The big demonstration of this
will come when congress begins
analysing the gigantic new tax
programs proposed by the Presi-
dent. A general principle of good
politics" always has been to vote
for all appropriations and against
all taxes. Every congressman
knows that the easiest way to lose
votes is to levy increased taxes
on those he wants to vote for him.
But since congressman know
that some new tax legislation
must be passed, there will be a
grand scramble, on the part OF
most members, to see that the
new taxes are levied on anybody
other than those they represent.
Congressman from farm areas will
oppose all levies that would take
tax money from farmers, con-
gressmen from industrial areas
will try to protect labor from fur
Their taxation, and congressman
from wealthy areas will fight
against higher taxation on high
incomes and on corporations.
The Presidents program, which
will be the starting point for
working out tax plans, calls for
increased taxes on medium and
high incomes, part of which would
be rebated after the war. It also
asks for high excise taxes on lux
uries, including a big boost in the
tax on alcoholic beverages, cigar
cites, cigars, theater admissions,
