H. Towefg, United States navy, hai been asked to uphold the reputa tion of our, nation as always being IlrBt in everything and; to now fly across the" Atlantic, All of tha best flyers and every resource of the navy's flying equipment have been placed under Commander ToweriVorder, EMERY SAW GUISE SEAS Mrs. George Moore, of this city, is in receipt of the , following letter from her brother, Emery Crawford who is now on the U. S. S. Wilming ton, and in Chinese waters. He writes under date of March 1st, from Shanghai, China. Dear Sister and All: Have been putting off writing since we came up here but will try now. Was expecting a letter from you on the boat that came in yesterday got a letter from Mabel and Sadie but none from you. I hope you are all well by this time. I arm feeling fine and having a good time and like this place lots better than Manilla. The climate Jiere is better, weather conditions are more like we have in the States. It is just cold enough to be nice once in a while, the fog comes up the river for three or four hours but one can put on warmer clothes and feel fine. We are not on the sea any more and are now in the Whang poo River. We left Manilla Feb. 6 and got here the 11th, and sure had some bad trip. We ran into a storm the second day out aud this lasted two days. I was some sea sick those two days; I wanted the ship to go down, that's how sick I was. Oh you don't know how sick one can get, and it is different from any other kind of sickness. I have been making, up the time since I arrived here, there are so many things I have never seen before. The Chinamen do everything by hand, having no machinery. They carry everything instead of hauling it, and make horses of themselves. I have sejn eight or ten of them pulling a big cart load that was enough for two horses, and the rig we ride in, that takes the place of a buggy, auto or street car, is a little cart just big enough for one and it is pulled by a Cooley. They are the poorer class of Chinamen and they can travel al most like a horse, running for three or four hours without stopping, It is lots of fun to ride in these carts. Lots of these people live on the river all the time In little boats some of them they do not allow to go ashore at all. They live on fish and rice they would surely die if they did not have rice. Most of them go bare footed the year around, the same when the snow is on the ground as when the sun is shining. Of all the old buildings, and oddly built you ever saw, they are here. The native men and women all dress alike and one cannot tell them apart. The women all work like the men on the river and they can run the boats just as well. They have a peculiar super stition here. When a little kid or any one falls in the river the second time he is a goner. He may be able to swim and tries to get out, but he is caught and held under the water until he dies. They have the super stition that the devil is in the water and if one falls overbor.rd the second time, the devil wants him and if he is not given up the entire family will be taken. So they shove him under and do not think anything about it. I wish you could see the little boats they have here, I would not under take to count them, they are here by Mnmsv Lines in Kiddie Frocks "Sixteen to one" advocates can find some very nw and dis tinctive lines In spring frocks and things which are close patterns of "Mumsy's" Easter duds. The dolman on the little miss of six is or blue velour with a narrow varnished leather strip supporting the new collar The hat is velour with a rough blue straw and a wool tassel. Her larger companion is happy In a collarless frock of golden brown wool Jersey wtth guimpe of navy taffeta. The two at the right have summery frocks, the little tot In frenchy georgette at pleats with a dark blue velvet bird applied. The older girl has a spring velour de laine In brick red with a ribbon Jnbot the same tint. the thousands and in sight all the time. The river is only about a quarter of a mile wide here and we are tied up to a buoy in the middle of the stream. Can go ashore most any time we want to on Saturday after noon, Sundays and Wednesday after noon, and any other days after four o'clock, so you see we have lots of liberty more liberty than money to spend, but have a good time just the same. I have a good job now, being store room keeper in the fire room. I look after the tools and keep them clean and don't have to stand any watches. All the rest of the fire room gang have to stand watches when their turn comes three on every four .ours. They work four hours and are off eight and are obliged to get up all uines of the night. I am on the job from eight in the morning until eleven-thirty, and one until four In ho afternoon, and I do not have to get up In the night, so you see 1 am getting along fine. I ran on to a fellow that knows Uncle Walter at Red Rock, Okla homa. He seen him in 1916. He worked in Panuea a year or two. With love to all of you. EMERY. UNITED STATES TIRE NEWS. A resoureful motorist whose car has been stuck in the mud does not always have to .fall back on a pair of mules to get free. For such an emergency the United States Tire Company offers some suggestions that have proved valuable. The first calls for having stored away somewhere in the car a stack of old newspapers. , When the car gots stuck and the wheels refuse to take hold, feed in some of the old papers between the tires and the mud. Usually only a few will have to be worked in before the wheels will begin to grip and the car start forward. This method of handling a difficult situation Is so Bimple and so uniformly successful, that every motorist should know of it and carry a pile of old newspapers, unless he is equipped with Bouie other apparatus for such a contingency. Here is another method suggested by the United States Tire Company: Put the car in low, and if you can not feed the gas with your foot evenly, so that the wheels will revolve slowly, put your emergency brake on. Do not put It on so that the wheels will not revolve at all, but tightly enough to keep them from revolving rapidly. With the wheels turning slowly, the maximum pull 1b de livered to them by having the car in low gear, and so long as they turn slowly they can get the benefit of the tremendous power. It is not always wise to fill the hole with stones or bricks, for their rough edges are hard on tires. Small branches of trees are better, as they offer much better tractive space. Should this method fail, quite often a slight push that would not much more than move a baby buggy will furnish just the added amount of power necessary to get the car going. Tlio Need of Conserving Gasoline, That there is urgent need of con serving the supply of gasoline if the ever increasing demand is to be met, is pointed out elsewhere In this issue In an announcement by the Standard Oil Company. Everybody interested in gasoline including the oil refiners, automobile engineers, and the gov ernment itself, is giving a great deal of thought to this problem. The war called the attention of the people to the drastic need of avoid ing waste. What the Food Adminis tration did to conserve food is still vividly In the memory of everybody In the country. What the Fuel Ad ministration did, while just as val uable, was not so spectacular, and there are many facts about the con servation of gasoline and other petroleum products which have not hitherto been brought out. For the past few years the petro leum and automobile industries have both been making great efforts to keep the supply of gasoline up to the demand. The oil producers have been stimulated to find new sources of supply, and have sunk many new wells. Oil refiners and chemical en gineers have been improving pro cesses of refining, which have made the crude oil yield more gasoline than was thought possible ten years ago. Automobile engineers have constantly Improved the efficiency of engines and the methods of carburization, so that the gasoline used will give the greatest power and mileage. In spite of all that has been done the war made it necessary to take still further measures to Itoep up the supply. The demand had be come so great that the Fuel Admin istration was forced to prohibit in Eastern States all non-essential use of passenger automobiles, and for a time this request was so extended that only automobiles in Govern ment, emergency or war service were in use on Sunday. Fortunately the motorist of the Pacific Coa3t was not required to undergo this hardship. Enough gasoline was produced in California for all Pacific Coast needs and its distribution did not require the use of transportation facilities needed for war purposes. However, so great was the need of conserving gasoline In all parts of the country that President Wilson ap pointed a Government committee last summer to determine on and adopt standard specifications for gasoline and other petroleum products. This committee consisted of the U. S. Fuel Administration and representatives of the War and Navy Departments, the U. S. Shipping Board, the Director General of Railroads, the Bureau of Standards. It was assisted and ad vised by technical experts from each of these Departments and bodies. After extended discussions, tests, and experiments this Committee adopted specifications for gasoline, not only for aviation purposes, but also for general motor use. They were drawn up with a view to providing a grade of gasoline that would meet every re quirement and yet allow the greatest production. They mean that our petroleum resources will be con served to the best cdvantage and that a reasonable price to tho motor ist will be maintained. Drafted as they were by impartial experts thtse specifications are today generally considered tho most prac tical standard for gasoline since they insure efficient and satisfactory fuel at a reasonable cost. These specifications for gasoline are for the benefit of tho public as a whole. They make certain a satis factory gasoline and at the same time assure a future supply by using the crude oil to the best advantage by eliminating all waste. The Standard Oil Company reports that Red Crown gasoline Is now re fined to conform with these United States Government Standard Specifi cations. It Is gasolino having the full and continuous chain of boiling points from low to high, which is absolutely essential in a full powered, dependable gasoline. It has low boil ing points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick and smooth acceleration and high boiling polnta for power and mileago.
