UNIQUE DWELLING ON HISTORIC SITE (By I. N. S.) llKI.I.AIUK. Ohio. Aug. 22. Plans for a unimie dwelling to be erected on the cliff ubove the national road at what is known as McCulloch's leap, in Wheeling. W. Va., are be ing drawn by J. B. Anderson, local architect. At the summit of the national road's route over Wheeling 'Hill, to ward Washington, Pa., is a steep de clivity extending several hundred feet to Wheeling Creek shore. On the opposite side of the road is u cliff mounting still higher. On the solid rock, on the hillside, the house is to be built. It will luive two towers, resembling an Eng lish castle. There will be two apart ments on the top floor and one on the lower. The House will be visi ble cloVn the Ohio Kiver Valley, for perhaps, a dozen miles. , The site of .the proposed dwelling, MMtfry 'lMbks',,relatc,-nUs'hce1t tnmle famous ihecause a Major MeCulloch. a pioneer soldier, rode his horse over the steep hillside while escaping The rotogravure section lias an other good point.

YK FILL T11R MAN, RUT NEVER EMPTY HIS POCKETROOK There Is, Also, A Non-Detonatinj Qasoline s Note this important difference in the way gasolines ex plode. One kind explodes instantaneously detonates. It depends upon a single crash to pound the piston down. Compression is limited by the tendency of such gaso line to explode prematurely. This means loss of power and efficiency. 1 It means increased vibration also, thus more wear and tear. Some explosives would work this way on guns, to the ruination of the guns. The Prolonged Thrust Union Gasoline explodes in a different way like smoke less jJowder in big guns with a progressive and sustained explosion non-detonating. ( It thrusts the piston down with a powerful but con tinuous impulse. I This permits higher compression, for, as authorities know, com pression is limited by the tendency of a gasoline to detonate. So more power and higher efficiency result from Union Non Detonatinj Gasoline. Smokeless powder is used in big guns be ' because it doesn't detonate and its better power carries the projec tiles farther. Snap In The Pickup . This increased smoother power in motors means more speed and stronger rush in the pickup. You find more power on the hills a new "lift" with no "knock ing" due to gasoline. . The sustained impulse reduces vibration, which means less wear and tear. And the higher, all-'round efficiency means increased fuel economy. o Union Non-Detonmtinf Gasoline affects your car in several desirable and important ways. Union is always uniform. It-doesn't disintegrate, thus doesn't deteriorate in storage. All the power that is put into it at the Union plants is delivered when you want it in your car. Ask tor touring road maps at any Union Service Station. 1 UnionGasol ine oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof oooooooooooooooS
