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.

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.
