The legislature will convene in
January and one item they should
remedy is our election laws. In lieu
of the poll tax requirement for vot-
ing a registration system with a
nominal fee should be substituted.
When a person moves from one
couoty to another It is not right
that he is disfranchised for six
months. He should be allowed to
transfer his place of residence for
• small fee. Thousands of people
•re disqualified each election by
our antiquated election laws.
Tell us your new items.
esilng Facts
It’s important to keep in mind that
pressing is not ironing. It is, in-
stead, the combination of heat,
steam and pressure. A steam press
doth of cotton and wool, easily
made at home, is used to hold in
and distribute the steam, prevent
scorching and marking by the iron
and prevent shine and flattening and
mashing of the. nap.
To make a press cloth, use a piece
.of old wool material, such as men’s

suiting, flannel or a blanket, and at-
,tach by basting or machine rfttrh-
ing to a larger piece of cotton mate-
rial, such as muslin or feed sack.
The cotton side is used next to the
Iron.
Pressing should be done on the
wrong side of the material or gar-
ment whenever possible. Under no
’ circumstance should a soiled gar-

fact that changes in grade as well
as changes in direction must be con-

i rounds the ups and downs is a verti-

How Much Is a Billion Gallons
of 100-Octane Gasoline?
It's enough to fill 120,000
tank car*—a train 1,000 miles
long.
It's enough to fill an 8-inch pipe _
line that would circle the earth three
times at the equator.
It's enough to fuel 400,000 Fl/ing
Fortresses for a round trip flight
from Britain to Germany.
dn
B
:
That's a billion gallons of 1.00*octane gasoline! But it's more than that. It's the effort of the 14,000 men
and women of Humble Oil & Refining Company, who are today celebrating the production of the one-
billionth gallon of 100-octane aviation gasoline at Baytown refinery—a remarkable feat in the history of
the petroleum industry.
It is one of the wartime contributions of the 14,000 men and women of Humble—scientists, drillers,
roustabouts, stenographers, pipeliners, technologists, truck drivers, geologists, glassblowers, stillmen and
those working in hundreds of other occupations.
(
Here is a partial list of their accomplishments to date:
FIRST
to produce at one refinery o billion gallons of finished 100-octane aviation gasoline.
The Baytown refinery has produced more >100-octane aviation gasoline than any other
plant in the world.
FIRST
to produce synthetic toluene.
The 'Baytown Ordnance Woiks, first to synthesize toluene from petroleum, has SL^i'cd
the toluenq for ot least one out of every two bombs used by tjie United Nations sipce Pearl
Harbor.
FIRST
in rhe production of ciude oil.
Humble Oil & Refining Company is the nation's producer of crude oil, and is
currently supplying about one-fourth of the i' creased pcduchon required for wor as
measured by the gain since 1941.
FIRST
t
in the transportation of petroleum.
The Humble pipe lines transport moie oil than any other system, handle- one barrel
in every seven of the domestic supply.
These accomplishments climax a quarter century cf development, planning end team work
of a great organization. The men and women who mode them possible are behind the billion gallons
of 100-octane aviation gasoline. They ore behind whatever America needs of them for victory.
