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."
I This year's Nobel prize has been
conferred on Dr. P. G. Banting ol

-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.
