INMOTOR SEDANS' Tanks Under Seats Should Be “Grounded” Bridgeport, July 3.—That occupants of closed type automobiles having gasoline tanks inside of the bodies should have attached to them a chain by means of which the tank may be readily grounded when gasoline is be- ing deilvered are the principal recom- mendations for safety contained in a | finding handed down today by Coroner John J. Phelan in the case of Anna Gray of Norwalk, who was fatally burned June 15 when the gas tank of her husband's car exploded as it was being filled at a Norwalk station.

E, Stanley and Dr. Max W. . o . - | ¥ | Nickowicz who are connected with in- B. of 170th dustries here which produce accessor- ies used in the automobile trade. Both made extensive experiments and both came to the conclusion that if the nozzle of the hose on the gasoline pump is placed close to the mouth of the tank no gap is left in. which there is' room for the spark of the static discharge. But should there be dirt, paint or varnish on the lip of the nozzle, or the mouth of the tank it may be possible for the spark if dis- charged to ignite it and thus produce the explosion. It was Dr. Nickowicz's opinion that a small chain dropped from the tank to the ground would serve as a con- ductor of electricity and prevent a spark. Dr. Stanley gave it as his opinior. that ignition of a spark in the manner uesu:sueu Was ‘‘one chance in a mil- lion.” He pointed out that the owner, the driver, or the pasgenger in a car little realizes the danger which im- pends when they sit in a car while the gasoline tank is being filled. A minute substance between the nozzle and the tank mouth may be just sufficient to provide the fuel for fire from the sta- tic-electrical discharge as the fluid flows from the pump to the tank. He recommends that persons leave a car during the filling process and that those doing the work see that the nozzle lip is absolutely clean. Although Dr. Stanley referred to the spark theory as a ‘‘chance in a million” the coroner was notifled ' about the time he issued his finding that Joseph Bazatta had been severe- ly burned at Westport while filling a tank. The automobile belonging to Willlam McClune and Bazatta had taken it to a garage In State street to get the tank filled. There was an ex- plosion and Bazatta was burned about the legs and feet and the machine damaged.

Instructors Harry Bauwens and Charles Burkarth, Baking and selling cookies, holding | rummage sales, doing without their favorite candy, ice cream sodas and movies, were a few of the sacrifices resorted to by a group of girls in New Britain who successfuily concelved, organized and established in this city in the space of three months the larg- est female band or drum corps in the state of Connecticut, The idea first occurred to the Girl Scout Director, Miss Lois 8. 8haw, and jthe Girl Scout commiesiover, Mrs. | Leon A, Spraguc, sometime in Janu- ary when the Hartford corps was here on a vislt, but it was not until early in March that any definite step was| taken here. At that time a meeting was he!d at Girl Scout headquarters on Main street and the project was broached by the officials. It was greeted by the young women with the wildest enthu- siasm. No group of boys organizing a band could have been half as keen to start as were these girls. The money? A mere matter of ap- proximately $760. What was that to 46 or 50 girls? Overcoming difficul- ties was one of the reasons why they Jjoined the Scouts. It was not a ques- tion “Can it be done?" it was sini> ply the decision “Let's do it.” Saved Their Money A rummage sale was held. Some money was secured this way. “Cookie Week" was celebrated and the young women sold cookies to their friends as rapidly as they could make them. They took to going around the block | when they passed a movie show. Con- | fectionery windows lost their attrac- | tiveness. Soda fountains? Never even saw them., Trolley rides, parks, dances and jewelry trinkets were rele- ‘gated to the scrap heap for the time being. Every cent that could be earn- Lieut. Advanced to His Place.

In an attempt to trade upon the great popularity of “ZA-REX” as the purest, most delicious and convenient of Fruit Drinks, a number of cheap, inferior products— “Fruit Syrups,” so called—have been thrown upon the market and are frequently being substituted for genuine “ZA-REX” even when “7A.REX”is called for by name. GAME IS POSTPONED. New Haven, July 3.—New Haven- Hartford Scout camp at Gale's Ferry, when the Hartford Scouts will hold their annual fleld day. In September the corps will go to Springfield where the girls hope to compete for a prize at the Eastern State League exposition. Thus the corps was conceived by girls, organized by girls, established by girls and is being maintained by girls. No outside solicitation has been done for funds, except in cases where something was sold and full value given in return, yet New Britain to- day stands first in the ranks of fe- male bands and drum corps in the entire state, all credit being due to her Girl Scouts.

It contains no artificial substitutes or adulterants, Its urity has been certificated by the Priscilla Proving Plant. You get the best there is in the fresh fruits themselves when };lou buy“ZA-REX.” And you get it at the lowest possible price for which an ALL REAL FRUIT Syrup can reasonably be sold. i & War Thing” as genuine On the other hand, cheap substitute syrups oifegzt;l ::e .S/ % il_.ls{ g%tiaé 1(;;{ OTthJ %e['”éewhic fi . grder e “ZA- 2 in littl no real fruit juice 1 c Sé%I}{CEI)'EEx’n;T: BlchPtlJ{OFIT, have been ar’tificiallv concocted with flavoring extracts, “concentrates” or ethereal oils, and colored with aniline or coal-tar ayes. Beware o of Cheap Synthetic Syrups! They not only cheat you of a wonderful enjoyment that is yours with “ZA-REX,” but ACTUALLY COST YOU MORE THAN GENUINE “ZA-REX!” Because a PINT of genuine “ZA-REX” makes a GALLON of rich, full-bodied zestful Fruit Drinks. And to anywhere near dupli- cate just the strength of this wonderful “ZA-REX” Gallon would require at least a QUART of synthetic syrup.
