The , process of the bureau of

employs methods just tlio reverse
of ordinary distillation.
Nearly one-tenth of the gasoline
produced yearly in t lie country is
"natural" gasoline. This is not sold

waterfall is terrific. Niagara loss's

water down a single chute, destroy

it.

which she regards as indispensable
to her Safety. It was revealed In
an Interview here with Paul Pain
leve. minister of war,
l.evsons of the world war have
been drawn upon in the new fnrti- '
fhations, with the result that deep
caves, capable of protecting large
bodies of troops from the heaviest
shells, form an important feature
of the new system.
Verdun remains the key point of :
frontier defense, the minister of
war saiti. with a long line of smal
ler fortresses supplementing that
defense, each related in a strategic
plan to the others, and with van
tage points ready for the artillery
in the rear.
Palnleve does not support the
theory that a hue of timber bind
is a valuable defense In modern
war, insisting that the concealment
11 would afford Ihe enemy wtHibl
enial the advantages it weuhl give
the defenders.
He concluded his Interview with
an appeal for Ihe defense of
I'Yonch children as the best defense
of the country.
"Preaching about more children
will not raise the birth rate," he
said. "We must concentrato all our
efforts to reduce infant mortality
lo minimum."

The movie-going Hi jtisli popu

true of the Kngllsh language which
both Americans and Jtritish claim

The Influx of American-mad-

with it the "American accent''
which, when slightly distorted
through the mechanism of the

unintelligible to the Hritisher who
says "chaw nee" for "chance" and
"extrurdtiry" for "exiraordiuary. '
Hut the lure of the "cinemas"

The Model TEN "Caterpillar" Tractor
mm
How can I justify
, paying the price of
the Model Ten?
By being able to do work better,
quicker, cheaper. By having tho
power to chisel out hard pan
the nimbleness to get closer to or
chard trees the traction to ride
over a wet cover crop or through
the swales in early spring the
traction to ge into tho fields in an
exceptionally wet season the
nimbleness to cut out the weeds
close to the fence, to turn in nar
row corners the sure-footedness
to travel a seed bed after the first
plowing, to cultivate it again and
again if you like.
"Caterpillar" owners are frankly
boastful about tho low upkeep of
their machines. "Caterpillar"
owners appreciate the service of
a dealers' organization, which
keeps replacement parts close at
hand.
What's the Model
Ten?
It is the smallest model
"Caterpillar" now built. It
is designed for the man who
may not have a very big
acreage but-who needs the
insurance against the
weather of those wide
"Caterpillar" tracks. It is
offered at an amazingly
I low price it is the small
I est brother of the family of
five.
How Long does the
"Caterpillar" last
at farm work?
About ten years ngo the first ten Thiitys
and the first ten Sixty were put to work.
Seventeen of these twenty tractors were
still at work early in 1939r.. THEKE'S
PROOF OF L0N0 LIFE I But remember
that the answer depends on the kind of
soil, on fair loading, on faithful care. To
day, with heat-treated steel track parts
capable of yiolding twice the life of thoro
made a decade ago, tho lifo of tho "Cater
pillar" is a long and vigorous one.
Is this the whole story
of the Model Ten
"Caterpillar"?
No Thcro is a catolog thai will toll ynu a
lot moro about tho machino itself. Thnro
ro books on farming that will show how
"Caterpillar" power and '"Caterpillar"
traction have won for thousands of farm
ers a greater iiicomo and a grout or profit
with loss inconvenience and fewer hours
of worrying about the weather
Don't fail to see this wonderful liltle."Caterpillar" on display
in our show rooms. Let us tell you about it and demonstrate
in your field.
