PROTANE GAS
MODERN FUEL
Distributor Says New Liquid
Offers Features of
Natural Supply
y* -
' All the conveniences of s city gas
supply are enjoyed by country
housewives through bottled gas.
says J. D. Taylor, assistant manager
of the Johnson Protane company,
distributors of the protane gas and
appliances in the Valley, with
headquarters in McAllen.
The protane gas. instead of being
piped Into the house, requires only
a hole through the floor into the
basement where the drum of liquid
gas is kept. Two drums are placed,
so that when one bums out the ser
vice man is called, and the stove
connected with the other, while .1
new drum is installed In place of
the empty one. The drums are 13
by 22 Inches, and contain enough in
last the average family several
weeks, the dealers say, while the
cost is practically the same as that
of the usual city gas. Stoves used
are well-built gas ranges of the
type sold by first class manufac
turers, and may be furnished in
Ey and white vitreous enamel, or
rk enamel in regular range style.
The fuel may also be used for hot
water heaters.
The fuel is made from the vapors
from oil wells refined and con
densed to a low pressure liquid,
which resumes its gaseous stale
when released through the jet on
the cooking appliance. It bums
with a clear blue flame, which l?
odorless. The attachment is quite
safe, the dealers declare, as the gas
has scarcely any explosive quality.
It Is especially recommended for
use In country clubs, where the
usual piped gas Is not available,
and on boats.

of the Young plan and that the last
zone of occupation, the bridgehead

troops before the end of June, 1930.
This decision fell a little short of

BUENOS AIRES BICYCLISTS
VISIT HERE ON WAY TO N. Y.
Add stunts.
A trip on a bicycle from Buenos
Aires to New York.
Adolfo Rodriguez and Victor Se
ghette developed a yen to see the
world, way back in 1927. and Wed
nesday they pedalled into Browns
ville on their trusty bikes on their
northward trek.
The two started from Buenos
Aires, Rodriguez April 5, 1927, and
Seghette April 1. 1928, having been
delayed because of illness. They did
not make the trip together, having
decided it would be a greater test
of ingenuity and endurance trav
elling alone. On their way north
ward they met at Pasto, Colom
bia. and at Mexico City. Leaving
Mexico City one went to Bachucu
and the other along the National
lines, to Queretaro. and they again
met at Monterrey, going from there
to Tampico and Victoria, their
paths crossing once more at Mata
inoros.
A mileage of 10,313 was registered
on one of the bicycles, and Seghetie
said he had used seven pairs of
tires. They carried only light packs
contain lg actual essentials, and
said that much of the time in the
wilder sections of the countiy
crossed they had been forced to re
ly on hunting and fishing for their
lood.
They left Brownsville Wednesday
afternoon fcr San Antonio, anJ
will go on from there to Dallas. St.
Louis. Chicago, and New York. They
said they expected to make about
125 mies a day cn the paved roau~>
