Fast Driven Car Wrecked An eight cylinder Hudson sedan owned by the Slater Investment com pany of Klamath Falls and occupied by two women, a boy and a girl, was almost completely wrecked last Fri day noon at the slaughter house turn south of Moro. Tom Douma, who saw the accident, said that undoubt edly the car was being driven at a high rate of speed and had gotten out of control when the wheels went into soft gravel at the edge of the oiled pavement. The car reared into the air, partly turned onto its left side and then rolled over onto its right side. While the car was poised in the air, the 11-year old girl was thrown out thru the top, landing on her head and shoulders in the center of the highway. Other members of the jiprty did not seem to be injured. All were picked up and taken to The Dalles by passing cars and the wreck towed to Moro by the Pickett garage wrecker.

Morgan o J IT ALL COMES BACK The Full Gospel Assembly Oil Now Gives Refriger ation to Farm Homes Kerosene, to the farmer, long has meant heat and light. Now it has a new use—refrigeration. Iceless refrigerators, manufactured for use on the farms, at summer resorts and in other localities where electricity or gas is not available, iperatc on kerosene. Natural, artifi cial and tanked gas fuel also can be used. A milk chiller, similar fueled, cools fresh milk in three minutes, saving ice, time and expense for the dairyman. The oilburning refrigerators are similar in appearance and appoint ment to those iceless devices now used in city homes, with wire shelves, por celain lining, lacquer finish ahd trays for icecubes. They consume about a quart of kerosene during the heat ing period necessary to prepare them to keep their contents at the recom mended 50 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 to 36 hours. Circulating water is not required, but when employed can be used again for domestic purposes after it has served as an aid to the icaled-in refrigerant t in cooling the refrigerator. Economy of operation is stressed by the manufacturers, who claim that the milk chiller will function for an entire year on less than the cost of two weeks’ supply of ice.
