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

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.

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.
