him as a manufacturer, public official and friend mourn his loss.

Pettis A. Reid The death of Pettis Reid removes a man prominent in the manufacturing interests of Richmond, conspicuous for his interest in the Democrat party, and honored both at home and tn the state by elevation to membership on educational boards. He was a member of the Richmond city school board and served a term on the- state board of education. He possessed traits of character that endeared Mm to a large circle of friends and acquantainces. Knowledge of the practical and

theoretical requirements of the educational sys:tenv acquired as a school teacher in his younger !dayst enabled him to bring to the school board

qualifications that assisted materially in the development of the system here and in the application-of scpind theories in the broader scheme of theBtates educational program. Mr Reid was a man of high ideals, generous

impulses and broad sympathies. Although of

retiring disposition, his counsel was often sought in municipal affairs and civic problems. He did not seek office nor hanker after political prestige. The honors that were bestowed upon him were accepted as public trusts, and he per

formed them vdti that principle as his guiding motive. Those who had the privilege of knowing

Protecting the Child More than a quarter million of babies died of preventable, diseases in the United States in 1919, and many more survived attacks of disease only tp be crippled or weakened for life. Infant mortality is one of the serious problems engaging the attention of health authorities in the United States. Eminent physicians assert that many parents are to blame for the high death rate. They say that helpful information is available at small cost to the parents. Excellent books can be had for a few cents. The Indiana State Board of Health and the children's bureau at Washington

put out books that can be had for the price of a postage stamp. Child conservation depends upon the co-operation of the parents. The death rate will be reduced in no other ya. The appalling death list of children is attributable to the negligence of parents. H. Addington Bruce adduces the following list of causes that annually take away thousands of children : VFailure to provide digestible and nourishing food food really suited to children. "Neglect to take necessary precautions to prevent food from spoiling or becoming contaminated. Many mothers even lack knowledge of how to take proper care of milk in the home. "Failure to dress children properly, especially during periods of extreme cold and extreme heat. "Disregard of infants' requirements in the indispensable point of sunlight and fresh air. "Lack of cleanliness in the home." "Neglect to summon medical aid at the first sign of illness in children.

Dinner Stories

Jenkins and his best girl were motoring a considerable distance and the margin of time was very short. 'With about 12 miles to go, ho bade defiance to all police traps, and turning to the girl of his heart, exclaimed: "We are going at BO miles an hour. Are you brave, dear?" The girl, as she swallowed a quantity of dust, replied with emotion: "Yes, dear; I'm full of grit!" The excuses offered by schoolboys are often laughable, perhaps none more so than those of two pupils of a country school, for being late. Asked why he didn't come when he heard the bell, one boy said, "Please, sir, I was dreaming I was going to California and thought the school bell was tho steamboat I was going on." "You did, eh?" said the teacher. "And now sir, turning to the second boy, what have you to say for yourself?" "Please, sir, I I was Just waiting to see Tom off,' stammered tho other.

ARTIFICIAL GAS IS

TO BE USED IN CITY; MAKING DESCRIBED Work la now under way at the City Light, Heat" and" Poyer plant to begin tig imediate pjahufacture ' of water gai, upon the imminent exhaustion of the natural gas supply now obtained from the Logan companyl " In the manufacture of water gas, the gas passes through the following apparatus: " generator, carburetor, superheater, washbox, condenser, relief -holder, exhauster, tat extractor, purifier, : station meter, commercial holder and governor. ' -- From the governor the gas enters street mains from which it is distributed through th customers jneters and consumed. "

'Water, gas making Is. an inter; mi ttent process and "consists Of alternate periods of gas making and Of

"blasting preparatory to tne next gas' making period: The blasting period is' kinoinj as ' the "blow," and usually lasts from two to four minutes. ' Air is forced intno the generator beneath the grate by a blower and passed upward "through the fire, generating heat, a portion of which is absorbed and stored in the fuel. " '

Hot Gasses Pass to Carburetor The hot and partially consumed gases from the top of "the fire ,paes froin the top generator Into the top "of the carburetor, where additional air is admitted-' This air' furnishes the oxygen tocomplete the combustion of unconsumed gases. These gases burn and generate heat while passing from top to bottom of carburetor through the various channels. During this passage a portion of heat from the gases is absorbed by and stored in the brick. " The gases then pass IrOm the bottom of the "carburetor Into the bottom of the superheaterHere they are generally completely burned and are at a high temperature. " ' '

- While 8tiU at a high temperature the gases escape from the stack valve at the top oi the superheater into the atmosphere. When the checker work and fire brick reach gas making temperatures, the blast is shut off and the set is ready to make gas. The fire temperatures are at all time under almost perfect control. Period Known as Run The gas making period Is known as

Ihe run: It "lasts from three to six minutes. To make an up run, the blast being shut of f," the stack at the top ot the superheater is closed and then the steam is turned into the generator,' under the grate. When passing Upward, through fire, the steam decomposed the hydrogen is freed, and the 'Oxygen is united with the carbon in the fuel to form carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

MR.FrankD. Gardner in Successful Farming says that, with man power, from plowing to feed trough it takes four hours and thirty-four minutes. work to raise one bushel of corn. The use of power machinery has reduced this to forty-one minutes, thus enabling one man to do the work of six. The importance of this saving of time may be realized when we learn that for 1920 Iowa is short 50,000 farm hands. Similar conditions are reported from the Middle West generally. This presents a serious problem. The answer is gasoline power used in tractor, truck, and automobile. The food supply of the future depends upon gasoline. Last year the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) provided the Middle West with power for 16,438,000 motor miles a day. Much of this went to the farms to help multiply the crops. Much of it was usea in motor trucks to help the farmer get his crops to market. The demand for gasoline was great, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was ready with the supply. That silent, watchful readiness was based upon the 'foresight and resourcefulness of an organization trained to its task through years of experience. The manufacture of gasoline is not the sole function of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). Equally important is its service of placing the gasoline where the consumer can get it easily and quickly. , More than 1,300 Service Stations and over 7,000 tank wagons and trucks are operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make gasoline ana lubricating oils constantly available for increasing the 1920 crops.
