According to the bulletin. the vapor from & gallon of gasoline when mixed with q right proportion of ‘air, proâ€" duoes?‘za hazard equal to 85 pou;nds of dynamite, : Because this vapor ‘does not always develop when gaspfine is exposg*i, it is pointed out, a lot of tricks can be done with the gas tank without any immediate results. What happens, however, is that the full hazâ€" ard invariably asserts itself when the motorist (treats gasoline ‘with the gmatfirt contempt. £ f The A:A.A. contends that contempt is the worst form of carelessness and that J motorists were as precautious as in the old days hundreds of lives would be saved annually. erol > : However, the more familiar hello is used to some extent throughout the British Isles, while on the continent it is seldom used. at: all, + The nearest approfich to it perhaps is the "Allo" of ‘£ Frenchman.. In. Germany, Switzerland and" several pther counâ€" tries, when a person answers the phone he simply says "Mr,..,.." givâ€" ing his own name, This fallows the practite being encouraged in this countiiw. * tral NSES "Are you there?" says the English, man when he answers the ring of his telephbne, and presumably if you are not, then you don‘t talk. §.: TELEPHONE CALLS â€" | ; _ / _ IN° VARIOUS LANDS "A very large percentage of autoâ€" mobile@ mechanics now ‘smoke while workittg on cars, exen when tinkering with garburetors and vacuum tanks.

He and his tub were the butt of numerous jokes. Legâ€" islation was passed against bathing. Taxes were levied against using city water for this purpose. Three years \~"But when labor and the employers of labor and the merchants of the Chamber of Commerce and the Roâ€"| tary and Kiwanis Clubs and the pubâ€" lic utilities and the city or county ofâ€" ficials and the granges learn the value of A$flna‘_ â€" down around the table. on a giveâ€"andâ€"take basis, then there. is ho power on earth strong enough to hold |back the development of that wmmunitvoa ; 8 i \*"*This is an example of the satisâ€" factory result of what I like to call Community Harmony.
