Phones Give W arning
of Fire Damp in Mine
Hundreds of Inventors have applied
their brains to the mutter of finding a
certain means of detecting fire damp,
the cnuse of such a large proportion
of mine disasters. So fur no com
pletely reliable method has been
found; hut It is believed that a devel
opment of the latest Idea will solve
the problem.
Tills Idea consists In the use of a
pair of telephones of a delicate kind
one of which is placed In the upper
galleries, where the air Is known to
be pure, while the other Is fixed In the
lower workings. Wires from each lead
to a central Instrument.
Reside each of the telephones Is a
pitch-pipe Into which a current of air
Is blown b.v a fan. The two pipes nre
tnned to give exactly the same musi
cal note.
So long as all Is well only one note
Is received and given out by the cen
trnl telephone; but directly fire damp
occurs the air supplied by the fan to
the pipe In the lower workings be
comes changed In quality and this al
ters the note very slightly.
That Is. the upper pipe, of course,
remains unchanged, and the result Is
thnt Instead of a single clear note the
central Instrument emits a discordant
noise which Immediately attracts the
attention of the man In charge, warn
Ing him that there Is fire damp In the
lower gnllerles.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

PLANNING SAVES MONEY
NO, COMPANY'S NOT COMING
I
F you drop a dish cloth, company won’ t come, save
as a matter of coincidence. Popular superstitions like
this are losing ground; so is the superstition that
there is something mysteriously better about "eastern”
motor lubricants, merely because they cost more and
are made in the east.
The Right Way to Judge Motor Oils
More than ever, motorists are discovering that the
test of an oil is not where but how it is made, and how
it lubricates. That’s why Zerolene—refined from se
lected western naphthenic base crudes—is today suc
cessfully lubricating more cars in the Pacific Coast
states than any other oil made.
An Exclusive Process—What it Does
Lubricating qualities have never been more carefully
or successfully preserved than by the processes used
at Standard Oil Company refineries for the refining of
Zerolene:—the Zerolene high-vacuum process, the Zero
lene process of filtration through 40 tons of Florida F u l
ler’s Earth, the refineries’ 15 positive checks for quality!
What Zerolene Will Do For Y our Car
Zerolene will give your car better lubrication: it
increases the gasoline mileage, reduces carbon-removal
and maintenance costs and lengthens the life of any
engine in which it is used. W hy pay tribute to a super
stition? Insist on Zerolene. Always ask for Zerolene
by name.
A series of independent and impartial reports show
ing the experience of large users with Zerolene motor
oil has been collected in our booklet. "W h y Pay Tribute
to a Superstition?" Ask any Standard Oil Company rep
resentative or Zerolene dealer for a copy.
Insist on Zerolene — even
if it does cost less

The late John S. Sargent, the fa

above all things the best-seller type
of novel and the best-seller type of

A best-seller novelist, visiting Mr.

Most fartn women try to stretch
their housekeeping dollars as far as
possible, but their skill in this art
varies widely. This is shown by cost
of living studies made by the De
partment of Agriculture. Many farm
families fail to get the quantity of
vegetables and fruits that could be
had from the farm at low cost in
comparison with the market prices
of these products.
Less than one-half of the total
amount of food products consumed
by 100 farm families in New Lon
don, Conn., in 1923 was furnished by
the farms. The remainder was pro
vided by direct purchase. Similar
high percentages of purchased as
compared with farm-grown table sup
plies have been recorded in other lo
calities. Farm families, it is de
clared, could live more cheaply were
their meals better planned, and pro
vided to a greater extent from the
farm and the garden.
Savings are often possible, says
the department, through more effi
cient use of fuel and household sup
plies. Sometimes waste in the use
of the automobile and excessive auto
operation costs can be lessened. Ex
penditures for education and “ad
vancement" are desirable, but money
for these purposes should not be
spent lavishly without due consid
eration merely because the purpose
is regarded as educational or spir
itual.
One way of stretching the dollar
is by setting up a definite goal for
family improvement. Failure to plan
often means that vital needs, such
as those for insurance, health and
recreation, can not be met. When
all members of the farm family un
derstand where the family income
goes and co-operate in attaining a
definite goal in family living, a given
amount of money will go much
further.
In the Connecticut study the av
erage annual expenditure of 110
families was found to be $1.492,com
pared with $1,520 for 183 families in
Ohio, $1.669 for 472 families in
Iowa, and $1,558 for 187 families
in Alabama. Only 4.6 per cent of
he Connecticut farm homes studied
were completely modern. Expendi
ture for advancement averaged $81
per family, or 5.4 per cent of the to
tal value of goods consumed. This
proportion was lower than that of
the families in Alabama and Iowa,
but slightly higher than that of the
families in Ohio.
