SERVED 40 YEARS AS SALVATIONIST AUirugrKUQiM;, New A1') Forty yearu in ' tho s Mexico. rieu of ESCAPED CONVICT CLEARS HIS GUARD NEW ORLEANS, La. (I.N.S.) "I understand an investigation is under way to determine how 1 was aide to saw tho bars in tho parish prison. 1 do not want blame for this put on any guiltless deputy. Hence my letter to yon." This was tho beginning of a letter received by local police from W. S. Lewis, who about ten days ago es caped from the dock of the parish prison hero Just after he had been sentenced to servo from three to live years In the ataate penitentiary for burglary. "Tho saws used in cutting tho bars In tho court dock," the letter con tinued, "were never Inside t lie parish prison. I did not have them on my person when 1 went to court. Usually, the deputies search men going to and from courts, so 1 made arrangemenls to offset tho risk of carrying them over to court. "I took a long piece or twine with me. I let one end of this down into the alley and a friend tied the saws on the siring. The rest was easy. ".Mr. Itcnnyson, please do not judge me loo harshly for my rash act. I played square with everyone. 1 let it be known that I would slip away from jail if the opportunity present ed Itself. I made known also t hat my escape would be -made, without violence if at all. 1 lived up to all of this. "Perhaps I will get away und be gone always; again, 1 may lie return ed to pay my debts some day. If It is the latter, I want the good will of everyone when I return. Your depu ties treated me square and with con sideration. They do this for all who will let them do so, and the purpose of this letter is to explain any sus picion that may rest on lhos In' a position to come in for any blame for my escape." After the signature came a post script also signed with the "L." reading: "This is to be three days after my departure from your city hoping never to n-iurn."

American )iunter;i who crossed tho border to the Slrra Viejos have de pleted the range o the big horns and antelopes to :t point that It Is feared these rare animaltt will be come extinct, officials here say. Mr. Tinker wa-i chosen by President (ib- regon for the task o( urveyiiu: the region and protecting thu game be cause ni his experience in tluunorlh ern region and his knowledge of deal ing with the git mu problem. Sierra Vlejos is about 250 miles south of Tuscon, and 'probably is tho center of thu big horn country. 1'Yoin the Sierra vlejos, Mr. Tinker, who is accompanied by an Indian guide, will go by pMck horse to Colonla Uir eda at the mouth of the Colorado river. From this base he will rido the range and estimate tho number of heep in that country. Colonia laired a official:! nay, h:-.:i been a "paradise" to American hunters In tho past.

Thu work lm changed a grent deal since that time Mrs. Forhcji says, the greatest change com ing, from the abolition of the open sal oon and the coming of prohibition. "In the old days," Mrs. Forbes said, "they used to arrest us for hold in j, street meetings mid put us In jail. That was when the open saloon wai: in vogue ami when whiskey iuterc.stri ran the towns.

Lynch Co. !' i 1 it- Lirt on Hills -A Feature of Non- Detonating Gasoline There arc two kinds of explosions from gasolines. One is instantaneous, crashing, detonating. . It smashes against the piston, hammering it down with the single blow. ' v Having a tendency to explode prematurely, detonating gasoline reduces compression. Thus power and efficiency are lowered. "Knocking" frequently is the result of detonating gaso line, especially on hills. And the increased vibration means increased wear and tear. The Sustained Thrust You get the other kind of explosion from Union iVon Detonating Gasoline a progressive and prolonged ex plosion. The impulse is sustained, thrusting your piston throughout the entire stroke. This permits increased comp-: r .ion, for compression is limited by the tendency of r 2,;oline to detonate. And efficiency and power increase with added compres sion. Try It on Hills With Union Non-Detonating Gasoline your car will improve on hills. It provides a new "lift" steady, sus tained power. You'll also note new speed on the level, new rush in the pickup and less vibration at all times less wear and tear. Also there is a saving in fuel due to higher efficiency. So there are many advantages in this better gasoline. Union is always uniform. It doesn't disintegrate, thus doesn't deteriorate in storage. All the power that goes into it at tiie Union plants is there to use when you want it. Union OH Company of California r 0 i 8 " 0 T til I7i ft t7. ft". I J C7 - 1 E-'i-tii.vw LW1 I !'. .
