There are those who are crying for im- mediate work on the construction of the Ruby dam, a $10,000,000 affair. Let's iron out some of the wrinkles in the Gorge project first.

It’s too complicated to explain or read about in warm weather. But it’s a forerunner of future devices that will generate » millions of horsepower to free man from the slavery of - toil. Going to waste in falling water is an enormous tt of power, and in sunlight an enormous amount of Tuel. Our greatest natural resources are falling water, winds, Sunlight and electricity. Later we'll master them. A Small start has been made, very small. Candy Drunkards F YOU could get all the candy-store and other confec- tionery clerks in the country together in a convention, the attendance would be 350,000. Another 150,000 make the stuff. There’s roughly one person serving sweet- meats for every 200 of us. Per capita consumption of sugar increases steadily, Swiftly. It is taking the place of its twin, alcohol. Chemic- ally, they are much alike. Plenty of “candy drunkards.” Where We Lag ERMANY regaining her Argentine trade, says a head- line.. She had second place in ocean-carrying trade of this big South American country, before the war. Eng- Tand, former leader, still is. Germany and Italy are rac- ‘ing for second place. The American flag is lagging in the contest. As sailors, Americans again are on the wane. Interest is in the interior, westward. Proof of this is the popularity of Western stories in fiction and movies. Blocking Progress 'AR is the greatest obstaele to progress. France and England again are negotiating to bye the much-needed tunnel under the English channel, connect the two countries by rail. This project Sud e been completed years ago if it hadn’t been for mili- lary reasons. _ War occasionally seems to hasten progress.

Her fifth baby was born when she was barely 20 years old. She has four boys and one girl and wishes she had an- other daughter. The family is extremely happy. While the mother’s tender years are exceptional, it’s apparent that the situ- ition is far more successful than in the average when children come later in life. It is better to marry too young than too old, within reasonable bounds. Our Own Gibraltar T'S WHISPERED about in the army that American troops in the Philippines will be concentrated at Fort McKinley, Manila, and on Corregidor island—our own Gibraltar in Manila bay. Corregidor constantly is provisioned and munitioned a two years’ siege. Over 200 pieces of heavy artil- are mounted there. Gamble they could hold out until e built a big enough navy. That our general staff is 4 dumbell organization, is all right for foreigners to be- lieve. But wink one eye when you tell it to another American. Quiet Your Hysteria ‘OOK quite a long time for a few American planes to 4 “cross the Pacific,” even by skirting the edges of the ocean. Not belittling their wonderful achievement, by any means. But the time and distances elements that are involved certainly are comforting to any hysterically imaginative Yank who fears the arrival of Asiatics on artificial wings. But don’t go to sleep.

The motors in them have been brought to a high point of efficiency. They require only a fuel worthy of them to “make good” the smoothness of opera- tion, the speed, power and hill-climbing ability that have been so carefully built into them. Don’t waste these fine qualities in the pur- chase of an inferior gasoline. Union Gasoline is produced to bring out the best in the finest motors. It gets the utmost out of aff motors. Getting a good fuel is‘merely a matter of careful selection on your part. Union Gasoline has the quality of non- detonation which means less tendency toward \ “knocking” on hills, and in slow, heavy pulls, quicker acceleration and a smoother, more.vi- brationless speed.
