The use of high octane gasoline has made possible the development of greater horsepower in modern aircraft without proportionate in- crease in size and weight.
 Most people have misconcep- ton of high octane rating. An oc. tane number is numerically the per. centage by volume of iso-octane in . mixture Of iSo-octane and normal heptane. Tho octane number of fuel D the octane number of the mix ture of iso-octane and normal hep. tans which it matches in antiknoek value.
 90 octane does not mean the per. centage of octane in the. gasoline. Actually what 90 octane gasoline is, is a gasoline that detonates or knocks at the same compression as a mixture of 90 per cent iso-octane and 10 per cent normal heptane. It is merely standard for express ing how much gasoline may be com pressed without knocking.
 The more the fuel can be com pressed the more power an engine will develop and the less resistance the gasoline will have to detona- tion It is this that makes possible greater horsepower in present day engines.
 Zach engine has it's prescribed oc ane fuel requirement. Although a hgAer octane gasoline may be used than is necc .ary, it is waste full to do so since the higher octane gasolines are more expensive than the lower ones.
 The ability of American manu- lecturers to develop higher and higher octane fuels has contributed materially to the superiority and greater efficiency of our fighting l aircraft.

 have just seen the results of a nationwide survey among American home owners by Imperial Furni- ture Company of Grand Rapids. This survey shows that the major ity of these women feel that from 5 to 10 tables are necessary to properly and comfortably furnish a living room.
 "A table conveniently placed by every seating piece" is one of the cardinal rules practiced by deco- rators.
 The many specialized table types all seem indispensable for the mod ern home. Who would think of en- tertaining these days without the gracious hospitality of a coffee or cocktail table? How could 8 living room be considered cozy without an end table or commode for lamp, magazines, smoking accessories by your sofa-perhaps a pair, which is considered SC smart.
 Nests of tables, tier tables, con- sole card tables, magazine tables, drop-leaf, piecrust, chair-side and lamp tables are other versatile kinds of tables that are among the most popular.

Paper Salvage
Drive Laos

A recent nationwide survey dis
closes that there is letdoWn in
waste paper salvage. This survey
also shows an increase in need for
the paper.
Right now many mills with i'm
portant war contracts almos have
exhausted their supply of this vital
raw material and some have been
forced to shut down temporarily, it
is pointed out. The situation is
critical but it can be remedied by
greater public cooperation in the U
S. victory waste paper campaign. A
survey recently made public by the
Department CT Commerce indicates
81 per cent of all salvable waste
paper in the United States is avail
able from industry and 38 per cent
from homes and farms.
In FL Centre approximately 81
pounds of household waste paper
per person are available each month
in addition to SIS pounds per per-
son on surrounding farms.
A new study reveals only 63 per
cent of families are saving waste
paper regularly and only 81 per
cent are convinced of the need of
waste paper.
