NOW FUEL FROM THE AIR
Western Writer Waxe* Sarcastic Ov¬
er Certain Enthusiastic Projects
in Contemplation.
Two or three tim-s n year, father,
who has trouble getting fuel for his
flivver, becomes greatly excited over
the discovery of some new kind of
economic fuel that may be made out
of spring water, or sawdust, but his
hopes are always dispelled. Nothing
further is heard about the swell fuel,
and lie continues to tight for Ills gas
ns usual, says the Seattle 1’ost-lnte!
ligeneer.
Just now he Is greatly excited over
another cheap fuel story, and this
time right here at home where he can
untch it. A Seattle man has been run¬
ning nit engine on air, lias Installed it
,n a newly devised dirigible airship
anil soon he expects to ascend from
iiis Youngstown ait-dome and remain
aloft for six days and six nights
without coming back to earth for fuel,
food or water. He starts his engine
with an electric battery, and begins
at once to generate power from the
air. After that he claims to be able
to generate power from air until his
engine wears out.
The Seattle airship Is fourteen feet
long and ten feet high, the upper half
being a gas chamber, and the lower
occupied by engine room and bunks.
There are two propellers. Five pas¬
sengers may be carried, and the thing
makes about 25 miles an hour when
pressed. Breakfast in Seattle, dinner
in New York. Some story, eh? And
father is greatly excited about It.
Now that we are making fuel out
of air we shall require to -be more
careful with it. With general adop¬
tion c" the air engine the great waste
heretofore apparent must be stopped.
Look, for instance, at the prodigal
vaTe that goes forward at political
•otK.'ipions. Look at the windy hosts
sapping up the oxygen, and giving
hack nothing but nitrogen! An air
hip propelled by an air engine would
meet a vacuum and have to come to
north because of the lack of raw fuel
n the atmosphere.
The Youngstown Inventor has our
most optimistic friendship. We hope
he makes his engine go. If he can
win out with it fuel for winter may be
procured from the air: we may run
tiie Seattle municipal street cars on
nir; and we may make our electricity
for light and power from it. We may
practically live on air. That Is what
a select few have accomplished in
the past, and the habit should be
made common.
Fontaine
Chateau-Thierry, that place which
played such a prominent part In the
world war, was the birthplace of Jean
De La Fontaine, who entered this
world on July.8, 1621.
He was of a good family and, like
many other youths of his station, was
educated for the priesthood. But the
profession of a cleric was not to the
liking of the dreamy, irresponsible
hot. which characteristics he carried
throughout his life. So, forsaking
ids career laid out by his parents, he
became a happy-go-lucky Idler until
liis poetic talent was awakened and
he began to write. In his last years
he hecame sincerely religious. Fon¬
taine has been termed a spoiled child
of nature; simple, guileless, and exas¬
perating to his friends, who tolerated
his shortcomings because of their love
for hini.
The permanent value of his work in
the development tk French literature,
especially through the fables. was
onrlv recognized. In mind he Is akin
to Moll ere, and with him these two
men are the most widely liked French
writers of the seventeenth century.
The Mean Bridegroom.
Bishop Benjamin Brewster said at
n wedding breakfast In Portland:
“The meanest man T ever heard of
In my life was a Kansas farm hand.
He rane a Kansas preacher up at 12
o’clock one night to marry him. and
after the ceremony he said:
“‘Well, parson, are wp spliced now?'
“ ‘Absolutely,’ sjiia the parson.
‘“Spliced hard and fast?'
“ ‘Nothing but death,’ the parson
said, ‘can break the snered tie which
now binds you to this lady.’
“ ‘Yon couldn’t unsplice us again,
parson, oven if you wanted to?'
“N’n; the ceremony I have perform
ed is irvefragible and Irrevocable.’
“Then, parson, I’m goin’ to stand
you off for it.’ said the farm hand,
with a relieved look, and, taking h’s
wife by the arm, he departed, never
to return."
To Destroy Grasshopp*r Nest*.
The breeding ground of ihe grass¬
hoppers that annually spread ovei
Sutter and Yuba counties is believed
centered around the Sutter Buttes,
nnd farmers in Sutter county are
planning an aggressive campaign
against the pests next year, with the
idea of killing off the hoppers, before
they become strong enough to mi¬
grate. The grounds around the Butte*
are chiefly arid grazing lands. Ac¬
cording to insect specialists the
Buttes grasshoppers are similar to
the Utah pests, in -whose breeding
places 25,200 eggs to the square f< ot
are deposited.—San Francisco Chront

Rolling Hotels.
Few people who ride in parlor cars
realize how stupendous Is the system
of which the cars are a part. It is
the equivalent of a hotel with 260.000
beds and 2,960 office desks at which
26 million guests register every year.
It has eight thousand negro porters,
owns linen worth two million dollars,
and uses *60,000 worth of soap a year.

THE RED AMERICA!!^ CROSS IN'
^PEACE Junior Red TIME Cross
About 12,000,000 boys and girls, com¬
posing nearly half the school popula¬
tion ef the United States, are members
of the Junior Red Cross, which Is help
Ing the children of Europe, while at
the same time It Is doing an important
work here at home. Kalitan Chetwolf,
who wears the engaging smile shown
In this picture, is the son of an In¬
dian guide and trapper. He is the
youngest Junior living in the neighbor¬
hood of Juneau, Alaska—and he sends
greetings to fellow Juniors of the Unit¬
ed States.
BLOUSES OF GEORGETTE
Among me new blouses are some
that have a short peplum and many
that are embroidered with small col¬
ored beads. Here is one that com¬
bines both these features in the fall
styles, and you will notice that Its
sleeves are three-quarter length and
that It has a sash of ribbon that ties
with bow and ends at the left side.
It is made of dark georgette.

Teaching First Aid
Every person mentally and physical¬

can Red Cross Instruction In First Aid
Treatment. It’s a life-saver and a
pain-saver on the farm, in the factory,
•n the street, at the office, in the
home, wherever accidents may occur.
Here's a young wife who Inexpertly
wielded a can-epener and received an
Ogly gash across her wrist from the

however, with the First Aid kit and

prevented a case of blood poisou by

American Red Cross Announces
Budget of $48,200,000
For Current Year.
NEW DISASTER RELIEF PLAN

Deemed Necessary to Protect
United States—$21,000,000
Less Than Last Year.
A program of relief and service
ward which to
appropriations of $48-
200.000 have been made has been ou:
,lined for the American Red Cross for
the fiscal year, July 1, 1920, to July l,
1921, according to official announce
:ment by national headquarters of the
organization at Washington. The fin.
ures for 1920-21 are $21,000,000 below
,lliose of 1919-20, in which $69,400,000
’was spent.

among the items of the
budget for the present year is the ap¬
propriation of $31,500,000 for relief in
foreign lands, which includes $11,000.

This will enable the American Red
Cross to continue its humanitarian ef¬
fort to aid stricken peoples to re-estab¬
lish themselves, to fight the disease epi
■demics which threaten many countries
and to efface largely the remaining
■traces of the blight left by the World
AVar. It is regarded as social as well
as physical sanitation on a large scale
That will have a direct bearing on fu¬
ture conditions In America.
Central Europe, the chief sufferer
from the conflict, today is facing an¬
other winter of famine, pestilence and
■ruin. Typhus decreased much daring
The summer months where last winter
'.It had its greatest stronghold, but phy¬
sicians who investigated the situation
at the behest of the League of Red
[Cross Societies have given their un¬
qualified opinion that this coining win¬
ter will see a recurrence on an un¬
precedented s^rie. The Red Crose
(feels it must continue preventive meas¬
ures abroad to keep this and other
ideadly maladies from the United
States.
Millions for Work at Home.
When the disease was sweeping Cen¬
tral Europe last winter the American
Red Cross, with the aid of the govern
gnents of afflicted nations, undertook the
[fight against it. Hospitals were estab¬
lished wherever possible and food and
^clothing were distributed to the un¬
dernourished populations, who by rea¬
son of their undernourishment were
easy prey to the epidemics. Where
disorganization contributed last year
,to the great inroads made by the dis¬
ease, by virtue of its knowledge of the
.•disease and the presence of well es¬
tablished hospital centers, the Amerl
•cau Red Cross this year will undertake
.the work with a new confidence.
Including the total of $11,000,000 in
■supplies left from the last fiscal year,
the $31,500,000 is $ 21 000,000 less than
,
ithe expenditures for 1919-20.
Appropriations for domestic activi¬
ties total $16,700,000.
The largest item of this “home
■budget is $7,800,000 for civilian relief
{work. This includes service and as¬
sistance for families of soldiers, sal!
Jors and marines, and work incidental
■to disaster. Of the total appropria¬
tion for civilian relief, $5,000,000 is
[held in reserve for the carrying out of
factual disaster relief.
