Replacing Gasoline as Fuel
Gasoline at 00 cents or more per gal-
lon has stimulated British search for
some other fuel for automobiles Coni
gas Is being tried In ninny cities and
Consul Claiborne at Bradford Inti-
mates that ns its chief disadvantage Is
Its hulk complete success In Its use
awaits only facilities for compression
or storage As now UHcd the gas
drawn from the main Is carried In n
rubber-lined canvns bug of mnttress
shnpe which Is strapped to the top of
(he motor omnllms or to the renr of
the automobile The gns In the bng Is
connected to the Induction pipe and
the engine ts worked by the auction
process In the same manner ns the or-
dinary gasoline vapor Induction In a
trial of gns for four months a system
of motor-driven omnibuses operated by
the Grimsby municipality Is -said to
have reduced the fuel cost per mile
nearly two-thirds the price per gallon
of gasoline and that per 1000 cubic
feet of coal gns being each 01 rents
The only change In the motor has been
the fitting ofn butterfly valve In the air
Intake pipe for regulating the nlr sup-
ply nnd ns an advantage from the use
of gas It Is rlnlmed that the engine Is
cleaner nnd the valves do not require
grinding so often-

you can get a better roof I

Roofing
CERTAIN-TEED is the best
roof not only because it costs
less to manufacture but also be-
cause it is weather-tight light
weight clean sanitary fire-retardent
and costs practically
nothing to maintain
There are many roll roofings on
the market but only one CERTAIN-TEED
It pays to get
the best It costs no more to
lay a CERTAIN-TEED roof
than it does to lay a poor roof
but there is a vast difference in
the wear You can’t tell the
quality of a roofing by looks or
feel Your only safety is the
label Be sure that it is CERTAIN-TEED
— then you are
certain of quality and guaranteed
satisfaction
CERTAIN-TEED it guaran-
teed for 5 10 or IS yean ac-
cording to thickness (1 2 or
3 ply)

less are just as good
looking wear better

Hello Profanity
The rule la strict against using pro-
fane language when talking over the
telephone A telephone experiment
hns proved a failure in Lynn Mass
The manager noticed that “wrong
number” calls were frequent and he or-
dered the “hello” girls to cull each digit
sepnrntPly nnd to Insert the word
“dash” after each one The method
wns slow but the climax wns reached
when a Lynn nmn was In a hurry to
get a Boston newspaper office He
cnlled for “Bench 8000” and heard a
sweet voice at “central” say: “Beach
three dnsh oh dash oh dash oh
dash”
That netted the Lynn man and he
called out :
“Well what are you cussing about?”
The order was abolished and no
more dashes are being said by tho
telephone girls nt Lynn — Buffulo Com
