CHINESE LAUNCH OFFENSIVE

CHUNGkING, China, May 15. -(AP)-The Chinese High Com nand announced that large Chin ese forces had launched an offen- sive in western Yunan Province on the night of May 10th, cross ing the Salween river at many points on a front of over 100 miles in an effort to link up with Gen eral StillWelfs troops in north ern Burma.
 Casualties on both sides have been heavy.
 Chennault's Sky Dragons heav- lily supported the new drive. The American communique reported the Mitchell bombers had blown bridges and warehouses in the area of Wanpahsa on the Burma Thafland border, causing enor- nous explosions and large fires among fuel dumps, causing smoke E to rise to height of 5000 feet
 The drive is, in a sense the first big offensive in the entire Chinese-Japanese war, and broke a long Hull along China's south western frontier and is obviously aimed at opening the connecting link with India by way of the Ledo and Burma Roads, and breaking the blockade to China.
 Success in Yunnan Province will do much to mitigate the bit terness felt as a result of the de- feats in Honan Province, south of the Yellow river, where the Jap anese have broken into Loyang in three sectors but the Chinese are striking back to the southeast and have broken the Jap hold on g section of the Peiping- -Hankow railway by retaking Suiping. 1OC miles south of Chenghsin.

NON-COMS STAGE DANCE

Many Nomites accepted the cor dial invitations of the non-con- missioned officers to attend their gala dance of the current social season. The dance was held in the building formerly occupied by the QM Corps office, and was a very nice affair.
 The boys went to lot of trouble and expense decorating the bare, unsightly interior, and trans forming it into a truly pleasing and friendly atmosphere, for dancing and sociability. Refresh ments were also a major tactical part of the evening.
 Music was furnished by It. La gel and his boys.

BANQUET IS
 HELDSATURDAY FOR SENIORS

Rain, mud, storm and other dis tracting elements did not hold back Junior Senior banquet guests from attending most en- joyable feast which was prepared by the Jul Hior class with Mrs. Cameron supervising and Jake Overbaugh adding his delicate touch to the main content of the food.
 Glests consisted of parents of the classes represented, school board members, faculty members, our public health nurse, Frank Parton, and the guests of honor who were the seniors.
 Guests were received in the teachers room and as the dinner hour approached all were lead to the Home Economics room.
 The first event of the evening was a welcome speech given by Bernadette Amarok; immediately following the class history was read by Frances Waldhelm; fruit cocktails were then served and preceding that. our most efficient toastmaster, Paul Mccarthy. in troduced Lillian Silverman, who gave a most appropriate prophecy involving the future of the four graduating seniors.
 School board members gave small speeches as the toastmaster called upon them and MT. Strand, as president. of the board. deliv- cred message of interest to all the seniors.
 Other speakers of the evening were MT Smola, Erik Hay, Teddy Amarok and Elizabeth McLain. Pfc. Frank Parton, an accom- plished pianist, who we were most fortunate to have, rendered sev- eral musical selections at inter vals and received much applause from the group.
 All those attending feel the banquet was a most successful event and will not soon be for gotten by the guests of honor.

IN ITS INFLUENCE and power for
good, Christmas stands supreme above
all the events known to mankind.

1t is the day when mems souls are lifted
and refined. When the common bond of
friendliness is most nearly universal.
Christmas is forgiving :. and giving.
A time for reviewing our moral and
spiritual values. and striving to adjust
our shortcomings. 1t is the days when
softly pealing bells :. inspiring words
and music bring cheer, courage and
renewed faith to everyone.
Most important this Christmas, we re-
member the sons and daughters of Amer
lea who battle to preserve the Christian
ideals of our country. For them we offer
our deepest gratitude and prayers. 1t is
they who come first in our membranes
this Christmas day.
The Star of Bethlehem, shining down
upon a war-torn world, finds us moving
slowly but steadily forward :. justif-
ably hopeful that out of the human
SufferingS and sacrifices will come
righteous, lasting peace.
Though we sometimes doubt the essential
rightness of things, we know there is no
need of despair, as long as millions of
free people retain and respect the teach
ings of Him whose birth we honor on
Christmas.
The message of Christmas is mankind's
common bond of hope. Only through
honoring Christ's birth and following
His teachings :. will enduring peace
become reality upon the earth.

Plant Oddities

Did you know that there are
wooden roses? And a variety of
beans that resemble screws? The
so-called wooden roses, which ap-
pear like beautiful flowers, are ac-

grow in southwestern Texas.
Another curiosity in the plant

OF a gallop he knew they were tir-

the rear that was like a dark wave
rolling on in front of him.
He had forgotten the storm. II
there had been another thunderclap
it was drowned by the rafting jar
in his ears. A crooked flash close
in front Of the longhorns was his
first warning.
Against its white light all of the
widespread herd stood out briefly,
caught in tossing waves, gone too
soon for him to locate any rider.
Someone was close before he
heard the pounding thud of hoofs.
Then the rider was alongside, Jim

Their growing complaint had risen
now above the clack of horns and
hoofs. 1t was like sounds jolted out
of them at every numbering step.
They we're tired and yet the mass
fright drove them on.
Gradually he worked forward and
thought he must be near the front,
when up ahead the galloping rhythm
broke. There was nothing for him
to see on the black earth. But his
horse dug in suddenly, trying to stop,
let himself go and leaped. The fall
was long and they struck hard. The
saddle horn rammed his stomach. 1t
bent him over as the horse lunged
on up a steep bank
1t was a little time, running on
again with the breath knocked out of
him, before he could look for the
cattle. He turned his head and saw
them beneath the lightning's repeat
ed flashes, pouring into a narrow
gulley and wiggling out like worms.
He looked for Jim Hope and couldn't
find him. He started to wheel back.
A split bunch of longhorns cut him
off. The gulley had broken up the
herd.
He felt mans bleak helpless
ness in that moment, swept on by
the wild rush of the cattle's over
Whelming numbers. There was no
chance now for the thing he had
hoped. Eight or ten men might
have turned them and got them mill
ing. One alone could do nothing at
all.
The lightning's quickened flashes
blinded him; its thunder made
bursting pressure in his ears. And
then he thought they had collided
head on with solid pillar of white
fire. His horse recoiled and squat
ted as if hit. Its heart pounded be-
meath his leg. His own body had
gone numb and slack. Instinct made
him lock his hands on the saddle
horn, his eyes wholly blind from
that vivid whiteness, while he was
aware of a strange dead hush and
smell of burned powder and hot
ash.
How long that daze lasted he
couldn't tell afterward. He was
moving. The cattle were around
him. A waterfall had opened over
his head.
With the rain there was no more
lightning; only the steady downpour
that turned the gumbo earth sticky
and slick. 1t slowed the longhorns.
Working out of them, he could hear
their hoofs slap the mud as they
numbered on, at walk now, but in
their stubborn, relentless way.
He reached the edge and rode
hunched over, letting time pass. The
warm rain soaked through to his
skin. Steam rose from his laboring
horse. Sound was his only guide.
Off in the dark he could hear the
longhorns come almost to a stop,
and then, scary from their first
stampeding fright, they would bolt
heavily into short run. He didn't

What 1t Costs.
The cost of the gasogcne at
tachment varies: For this expert
mental unit was about S7OO; on
trucks with a simpler installation
job the cost would be perhaps $500
lower. In South America they are
somewhat less. Mass production ma
turally would bring economies. At
present gasogenes are not made in
this country for unrestricted civilian
use, though no priorities for the pur-
chaser would be required if manu-
facturer were able to get clearance
on materials from the War Produc-
ton board and on manpower from
the War Manpower commission.

miles,. Curiosity appeal was high.
Motorists seeing the device as they
approached from the rear would
pull up and sometimes tail them
for miles. In towns small crowds
gathered to look and ask questions.
Though the fuel hopper holds ITO
pounds, it was found best to refuel
every so to rs miles. Fresh fuel is
put in through the hatch on top of

Twenty Cents for Is Miles.
They averaged close to 80 miles
an hour for the 800 miles and burned
600 pounds of charcoal. Put into its
gasoline equivalent Us miles to the
gallon) this stacked up to about ia
pounds which, at the rate of $35 a
ton for charcoal, meant nearly 20
cents for Is miles, or within a
penny or two of gasoline cost.
The whole system is entirely ra-
tional; there is nothing mysterious
about it. The regular carburetor is
used when the motor operates on
gasoline. A carbo-charger feeds gas
into the cylinders in the gasogene
operation.
The main difference is that the
gasogene gas principally carbon
monoxide) must be manufactured in
the generator before it can be
burned: gasoline in the tank is ready
for use. With gasogene it is neces-
sary to keep the engine turning
over little faster than usual in or
der to manufacture gas. If the en-
CINE is run too slowly on a hill,
where power is needed, the fire may
die down, reducing speed.
The fire requires relighting only
after long intervals of parking.

disuse the motor will start on gaso-
gene direct. After three or four

The gasogene outfit requires some
attention that machines operating
on gasoline do not, since the gaso-
gene burns charcoal or other solid
fuel. 1t is necessary to shake out
the ashes perhaps once a week.
