Iiqaret Butts Prove
That Times Are Good
Salesman Judges Nations
Economy by Stubs

LEXINGTON, ILL. - You don't
have to look any farther than the
nearest gutter to see that times are
as good as they were In the late
l920's, a tobacco salesman declared.
Morris Casey Jones, a, said
he had made a study Of the public's
smoking habits over the last rs
years.
You can pretty much judge the
times by the length Of cigaret butts
people throw away" he said.
He said the average length Of the
butt today was about one and one
hall inches long.
That's every bit rs long as the
boom days Of the eos" Jones said,
During the depression years. the
streets were pretty well clear Of
cisaret butts, he said.
"A lot Of smokers saved their
cigaret butts and rolled them into
new cigarets," he said, Some even
smoked them in their pipes.
"A great many people who were
rolling their own during the lean
years now have cigars in their vest
pockets"
Although he makes his living sell
ing tobac Geo. Jones said he disap-
proved Of women smokers.
Cigaret h. rs with npstick on them
are much longer that the others, he
said. probably because someone
else paid for them"

Tabor City is facing critical
water shortage unless some
thing is done to correct the sit
uation.
The something-the only
thing-that can be done is the
drilling of another well and in
stallation of additional water
lines.
The only way that can be
financed is through the issuance
of bonds as the regular expenses
and payrolls of the town are
eating up the funds coming in
from usual items like taxes and
water rents.
Town officials plan calling an
election soon on whether or
not the people of the town
want to issue bonds for improve
ment of the water system. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 will be
needed.

Conservative estimates are
that the additional well and
water system would pay for
itself from additional water
rents.
Present water rents run
around Sl.l00 a month and it
is believed these will easily
reach Sl.500 a month if the
town has enough water to
furnish everyone wanting it.
The capacity of the towns
present wells is slightly under
100 gallons per minute.
Well drillers who have been
contacted offer guarantee OF

Navy Fireproofs
AirpIanes With
New HydroIubes
kon.iniIammabIs Fluids in
Hydraulic Systems Check
Causes Of Fires

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
the first successful fireproof n.y.
draulic fluid for aircraft use was
announced by scientists Of the naval
research laboratory after four
years study and grueling service
testing.
They expect 1t not only to elm
nate one Of the most fruitful
sources Of crash and in-flight fires
but possibly to serve also as val
liable sxtinguishing agent for blazes
starting from other causes.
Paradoxically. the new agent
specifically designed to replace
petroleum.base fluids now en-
ployed in airplans hydraulic sys-
tems-already has bsen ADOPTED en-
Enthusiastically by other Gadustries
on a scale vastly exceeding even
its maximum potential use In avfa-
ton.
Foundries, machine shops and
other plants utilizing automatically
operated equipment near molten
metal, open fires or other ignition
sources, navy sources said, have
been quick to see the advantage
Of the new fluid, at least three
grades of which are now being
marketed commercially for various
uses.
Have Water Base
These fluids are called hydro
lubes" by the naval researchers
who compounded them, because OF
their water base. Their noninflan.
inability, the experts say, simply
stems from "the common knoWl-
edge that water will not burn
In addition to this basic ingre-
dient, the new hydraulic fluid con-
tains ethylene glycol to keep It from
freezing; a brand-new "polymer"
or thickening compound-viscosity
stabilizer; lubricating agents, cor
rosion inhibitors and IAN organic
chemical to make soluble all the In
gradients" The antifreeze agent
is the same as that used in many
automobile radiators and the new
aircraft hydraulic fluid Is proof
against freezing to 80 degrees be-
low zero Fahrenheit
Approved for Use
The navy announcement said that
the hydrolube fluids had been ap.
proved for future use in its aircraft
and "are currently being tested by
the civil aeronautics administration
for commercial airline use" whila
additional tests to improve them
still further are being conducted on
an accelerated-service basis at the
Naval Research laboratory in ar
airplane mock-up provided with q
complete hydraulic system.
It pointed out that use Of the fire
proof fluid IN landing gear retrac

For the 115th time since he
