Chemist describe it as a "border "bor-der zone" gas, coming between crude oil and natural gas. U. 8. consumption of the fuel in trucks, automobiles and tractors has skyrocketed from 29,330,000 gallons in 1939 to 53,632,000 gallons gal-lons last year an increase of 83 per cent, according to statistics.

One Iowa truck line official whose company has a fleet of 10 butane-fueled transports running between Minneapolis, Minn., and Kansas City, Mo., said the gas gives nearly 30 per cent more mileage at a lower cost than gasoline. gaso-line. He added that its better combus-stion combus-stion also triples the life of lubricating lub-ricating oil. In gasoline-burning trucks, he said .the oil must be changed every 600 to 1,000 miles, whereas in butane engines it will run about 3,000 miles. Lea Carbon Monoxide The more complete combustion also works to reduce highway accidents, ac-cidents, it Is said. With proper air mixture it will produce only a fraction of the poisonous carbon monoxide gas that blows out of a gasoline exhaust Since butane is a vapor instead of a liquid, it will mix more thoroughly thor-oughly with air, and thus burn up almost entirely in the cylinders, chemists say. A recent survey by the California Cali-fornia state department of health found that one out of every 33 cars on the highway have a dangerous dan-gerous amount of carbon monoxide mon-oxide in the driver's compartment. "Carbon monoxide asphyxiation is responsible for many otherwise inexplicable highway accidents," the report concluded. The small amount of carbon monoxide in butane exhaust. Is said, would eliminate the common com-mon hose-to-exhaust method of suicide. If true, it also would remove re-move the danger of accidental asphyxiation as-phyxiation in closed garages during dur-ing winter. Little Ufted In East Since 1939, more than 295 filling stations handling butane for motor vehicles have opened over the country. Of these, 165 are in California, 46 in Texas, 16 in New Mexico, 14 in Arizona. The remainder remain-der are scattered through the Middle West and Pennsylvania and Maine each have one. A Los Angeles milk company is operating 135 butane trucks, it Is reported. Currently, the fuel sells at 12 to 15 cents a gallon. One major barrier to its spread as a motor uel is the fact that it boils at the freezing .point of water, wa-ter, 32 degrees above zero. At this point ,it forms - a hoar-frost in the feeder line. But with a mixture mix-ture of propane which boils at almost al-most the same point below zero the boiling point can be lowered SMI fftsMon frl V frt motra n itAOD.rAiind i fuel, engineers believe.

She had not expected such an audience. The commissioner for the Fed- "eral' Court was in charge today. , Suddenly she was aware that her , gray calico dress was wrinkled. v One foot-was encased in an old house slipper, a man's house shoe, size 12, but It did not interfere with the bandages on her arch. She wore its companion on her other foot She had neither lipstick, rouge, eyebrow . shadow, or a comb to untangle her knotted hair. She looked, she admitted to herself, like a housemaid who had enjoyed en-joyed a good time somewhere. Her foot pained a little. There was blood on the bandage. She tried to sit on that foot, but an officer saw the change of position, motioned to the court matron who led her Into an inner room where the police doctors cleansed and rebound the wound. Once more she faced the courtroom. court-room. Her eyes went from face to curious face. These people had come to see what an ex-deb, a girl who had made a place for herself among Manhattan's career women, looked like. Some faces were hostile, faces of little people whose streets never had traveled far. More faces were kind and sympathetic, though their outward paths had, gone no farther. "7HEN her name was called Judy walked swiftly, trying not to limp, to the witness chair. At the edge of the second step her bandage caught in a torn piece of carpet. Judy fell across the steps. If she cried she might make an im-impression im-impression on the commissioner. Men hated tears but they usually did something about them. She couldn't cry, though. She could only laugh. Laugh until she was assisted to the witness wit-ness chair. After order had been established in the courtroom, she instinctively addressed the federal commissioner commis-sioner who acted as judge. After all she had nothing to win, nothing noth-ing to lose "Yesterday I was in my stockinged stock-inged foot I lost one slipper when I jumped for freedom. My foot got tangled with a nail, you see. And now your worn carpet upset me again. I'm sorry but I can't pay for the medical assistance until I have worked out my fine." She smiled straight into the eyes of the federal commissioner. She wasn't sure if he smiled or frowned. Life would be rather nice if people would take off their maski. No, it wouldn't It would be horrible. Life's privacy would be gone. Now she could ha& Sandy forever and no one would guess that she might just might have liked him a little. TTER case proceeded calmly. She was required to pay a fine of $1000 and costs. She couldn't She was led back to her cell after a judicial lecture. Just as she left the court by the side door she thought she saw Sandy entering at the front So he had come to see how low he had brought her! The door through which she was passing closed so quickly she could not follow him. Judy. was not returned to her cell. Long distance wanted her. It was her father. He said all of the things that she had hoped he would say before. Now they sounded like stilted, tenpenny words. Three things she understood. under-stood. Sandy had been trying to reach him without result. He had succeeded finally, would accept charges of kidnaping, and his rival was flying to Judy -to pay her fine and bring her home. So it had been Sandy whom she had seen in the courthouse. What did he want? Why had he come? She hung up. She had to get to Sandy, fast. Dear, brave, lovable lov-able Sandy, who would risk everything for her, even go to jail if need bet Why, that was security! And it was love. Dear, crazy, barnstorming, loyal, steadfast stead-fast Sandy who was all the things that Phil never could bet He wasn't afraid! OVE wasn't something that you kept in a house. It was a thing that lived in the heart 'She knew now. . "Mr. Ammerman? .. Where , U he?" she asked the attendant at the desk, near the telephone. "He just went out Turned to the right" She began to run, forgetful of the calico dress and the flopping slippers. Far down the street she saw Sandy. She ran faster. Some body set up a chase. "Prisoner escaping! Stop her!' ; "I'm not! My fine's paid!" she called back, but she heard the thud of pursuing feet Sandy turned. He stopped, startled, star-tled, and then came running toward her. The crowd waited. She noted that there were sleepless sleep-less circles under the aviator's eyes and that he needed a shave. "Quick, Sandy," she said. "We've got to get away. Phil's coming you're being arrested for kidnaping kidnap-ing me." She was pulling at his arm. He looked down at her 'and grinned. "Where are we going, nut?" "Idiot! Canada any place be-' yond the law. Wasn't wasn't that what you wanted?" The crowd gasped as the man in the khaki aviator's outfit and the girl in the prison garb kissed each other in the middle of the street Then Sandy hailed a taxi-cab taxi-cab and told the driver to step on the gas and make the air field. Inside the cab, he said, "Judy, I've been thinking things over. I was a heeL I'm a poor pilot who cant give you the ballast you need. Still . . ." She put one hand over "his mouth.'

Jones of Griffin will tell you that it's mighty good for making gourds last a long time. He has a gourd which has been handed down by the Jones family for 285 years. It was grown by his great-great-grandfather and his great-grandfather carried it during the Revolutionary war. Jones attributes the gourd's longevity to rum which hie greatgrandfather great-grandfather carried in it, and which he says caused the gourd to petrify.

(IIP) A Columbus Colum-bus man, who says he hates Hitler, admits he was one of the three men in Germany who trained train-ed 6,000 pilots for the Luftwaffe although without knowing it. Alfred Lussheim, who is now a naturalized citizen, says he helped organize the Storm Bird (Sturm-vogel) (Sturm-vogel) gliding organization, which at one time had 10,000 members, 300 gliding planes and 28 airplanes. air-planes. It trained young German workers to fly. When the Nazis came to power, Lussheim says, the Storm Bird groups were disbanded, but the young men they had trained became be-came pilots in the Luftwaffe.
