I GASOLINE MOKE DANGEROUS THAN DYNAMITE. De you know that gasoline is seven times more powerful than dynamite ask t the National dash Register News in an ■ article on the use of gaanlinr with safety in the home. Gasoline is a thin, water-white liquid which evaporates rapidly and throws off vast quantities of vapor very inflammable and explosive when mixed with air. Substitutes like cotton, linen, silk, especially when unwashed and undryed, ® become more or less electrified when rubbed or moved quickly in a bath of gasoline, the gasoline becoming nega j tively charged. Gasoline being a baa j conductor, the generated electricity accumulates and reaches such tension that sparks are possible, igniting the gasoline and causing fire ami explosion. . Weather conditions affect the results decidedly, the dry air of winter being : more dangerous than moist summer air. ' 1 Gasoline explosions in garages are of- [

ten brought about by static electricity, a fact definitely proven. In case of fire, tight cans are liable to explode, throwing the burning gaso1 line all over the promisee, thereby augt men ting the fire, - For .this reason gas1 oline should be stored outside the house. 1 preferably in safety type cans (cans , with fine wire gauze in neck and spout), s Gasoline used for cleaning should be ) used outdoors, at least fifty feet from . any fire, light or burning substance, never in an inclosed room. The heavy , vapors travel long distances and are , highly explosive. Never clean gloves on 1 the hands. The rubbing or agitating of f clothing in gasoline should be accomplished by means of a dry stick. 1 Gasoline stoves should nctier be filled . with a light or fire within fifty feet of t the stove. .

j There is a beautiful modern apartment t house in Cambridge. Mass.. a- he re the architect forgo! to provide an elevator. | Foneeiiucntly the visitor is in sorry, r rather 'ban glatjjjome^mood by tte t me < 1 'he modest home of Mrs. Eleanor H. 1 Porter. I Mrs. Porter is the wife of a prosper- " ous business man in" Boston, and her 1 private fortune . fiaa been Increased by ' royalties from the sale of the "Pol'y- I anna" stories. But wealth has not ; tempted amy departure from the modest • comforts and simplicity of her childhood ' days in Littleton. N. ft. "I am not a college product," says Mrs. Porter, "although I had rather more thnn the $32 worth of education enjoyed by The G'r! o* the Golden : West.' Such as it wa.<. 1 gained it in the public schools. Then I went to Bos- i ton and studied music and sang soprano : at concerts and In church choirs After . I married Mr. Porter 1 suddenly felt ■ the call to Write short stories. -Polly- ' anna, the Glad Book.' was my fl-st sue- : 5f ease. It just spread like p-airte fire:

there was ijppinglt. "My mother was a Woolson. The only previous write of our blood was Con- - stance Fenimore Woolson, a distant cousin. The roots of the family tree 1 reach back to Governor Bradford, who from the Mayflower My ancesfought in the King Philip war and . eleven battles of the Revolution. My ■ father ran the village drug store, and I ■ brought up a Congregationallst. It . lias been variously and erroneously stat- ; ed that I am a ^Christian Scientist, a : New Thought advocate, a Unitarian and 1 a missionary's daughter. "Pollyanna" Like Topsy, Just ' Grew. 1 " "Pollyanna' was not modeled upon 1 any one that I ever knew. She Is my 1 'brain child.' Like Topsy, she 'just • Grew.1 It Is a great Joy to me that she 1 has Inspired fresh hope in the hopeless ■ and driven away so many dull clouds 1 ef discontent. My publisher, esrly. said - to me that he doubted If the tired bust- ■ men would care for 'Polb anna.' He : was mistaken. One of the first to tsfl

in love with her was John Wanamnker, 1 ■ General of^ the United States, llo | : bought 200 copies of the book as gifts 1 > to his friends. For weeks he carried > Pollyanna sayings in a personal sug- ■ gestion column of his big Philadelphia 1 and New York department store ndver- ' tisements. In this way alone he gave I the circulation a big Impetus; Just like t the timely heave at a Mb boulder before ■ it Is sent rattling down the hillside. Mr. i Wanamaker is surely a business man, 1 and no doubt a tired one sometimes, for he carries heavy burdens, t "In my scrap books there are letters and telegrams of congratulation from scores of representative men and women ' all over the world— Judges, statesmen, , heads of great corporations, leaders In • all sorts of intellectual and social deJ velopment. They are priceless to me, ! but not more valued than the messages > from hundreds In the humbler walks of | life. My testimonials.' I call them.

. Tork point for the blind. There Is a r Follyanna petticoat and blouse, and 1 1 nemed after her are a ^-eg.^tereil calf, 1 consln and a farmhouse in Vermont. ' i Has Preserved the • Optimistic I i Spirit. e "I am so glad Pollyanna has reached 3 the stage. Jhere she will exert even a ' wider appVaT-H. is not easy to dramatize : stories like mine. I think Mrs Cushing. who '.has so many clever plays to her credit has succeeded wonderfully s well In preserving the optimistic spirit » and the most dramatic incidents of the » two books. And she has inado her play . fairly bubble over with comedy. iSSrfliiHS
