Hur skall Sverige kunna hålla igång sina motorer om landet i fortsättningen liksom nu blir avspärrat från amerikansk bensin? Det är en allvarlig fråga. Visserligen finns det mycket stora reservlager, men det tar ju i alla fall så småningom slut. Möjligen kan Sverige få bensin och oljor från Ryssland via Leningrad, eller från Estland. Det är emellertid ganska osäkert hur det går med den saken och man har därför i Sverige också vidtagit andra åtgärder. Ifråga om kol och koks kan man åtminstone i någon mån motor. Det hela är ju naturligtvis besvärligt på många sätt. Men som sagt, det går. Man har också en annan möjlighet att ersätta bensinen, nämligen sulfitsprit, som är en biprodukt vid framställningen av. pappersmassa. Sulfitsprit fram-' stäiles alltså, liksom träkol, den svenska skogen, och det materialet räcker ett bra tag.

Bensinförbrukningen i Sverige är per innevånare räknat ju inte så stor som i Amerika men den är i alla fall väldig och har på de senaste åren ökat ofantligt. Den är nu åtminstone åtta gånger så stor som den var år 1922.. Vad skall man då ta sig till? Jo, man får försöka driva bilar och andra motorer med någonting annat än bensin —och det går. Nu i vinter har man i Sverige börjat, framställa träkol i mycket större skala än tidigare. Men inte kan man väl driva bilar med träkol? Jo, märkvärdigt nog. Om man på sin bil inga biprodukter heller. Men vetenskapen har många möj.ighe- Dear Boys and Giris:— Special interest is evidentt his year for our Summer Camp. And we are happy to know this, and I am sure we all appreciate anything that is done in support of the Camp I have just received information that our Icelandic friends are plan-qing to send about ten children to the Diamond Camp this year. And, as I have pointed out more than once, our Camp is certainly open to all Scandinavian children. So we our quarters that will not tell us who his ancestors were.” While Akka, the leader-goose, was talking in this strain, the boy stepped briskty forward. It distressed him that the goosey-gander, who had spöken up so glibly for himself, should give such evasive answers when it concerned him. "I don t care to make a secret of who I am,” said he. "My name is Nils Holgersson. I am a farmer’s son, and, until to-day, I was a human, being; but this morning —” He got no further. As soon as he said that he was human the leader-goose staggered three steps backward, and the rest of them even further back. All craned their necks and hissed angrily at him. "I have suspected this ever since I first saw you here on these shores,” said Akka; "and now you can dear out of here at once.

Sådan sprit blir dyr, men läget kan mycket väl bli sådant,, att man måste til gripa också den metoden för att hålla Sveriges bilar och andra motorer i gång. För det gamla landet är det nu en livsfråga, att inte bara motorerna utan hela näringslivet hålles så något när i gång. Både de enskilda och alla medborgarna tillsammans, d. v.s. staten, spänner alla krafter för att göra det bästa möjliga av den svåra situationen.

He had expected that they should be more like tame geese, and that he should feel a closer kinship with them. They were very much smaller than he, and none of them was white. All were gray with a sprinkling of brown. He was almost afraid of their eyes, which were yellow and shone as if a fire rikligt tillgängligt i i ysiuauu, , - / . - England, Canada, Förenta Sta- j been kindled back of them. - - - •' fI The goosey-gander had always been terna och Belgiska Kongo, från uranium.

Thereupon the leader-goose point-ed with her bill and said: "But whom have you there? Fve never seen any one like him before.” "That’s my comrade,” said the goosey gander. "He’s been a •goose-tender all his life. He'11 be useful, all right, to take with us on the trip.” i "Yes, he may be all right for a tame goose,” retorted the wild one. ”What do you call him?” ”He has several names,” said the goosey-gander hesitatingly, not knowing what he should hit upon in a hurry, for he did not want reveal the fact soloist. 1 1 .11 Saturday, June 15, Sunday School and congregational picnic at Second Beach, Stanley Park, in conjunction with the picnic of the First Church. meet at lOth ♦ * * FOLKDANSLAGETS medlemmar uppmanas på det enträgnaste att infinna sig på Svenska Hallen nästa torsdag den 20, i förberedelse för Midsommarfesten den 23.

He grew most alarmed, however, when he looked at their feet. They were large, with torn and ragged-look-ing soles. It was apparent that the wild geese never questioned what that the boy had a human name. "Oh! his name is Thumbietot.” he said at last. "Does he belong to the elf family?” asked the leader-goose. "At what hour do you wild geese usually retire?” said the goosey-gander quickly — trying to evade the last question. "My eyes close of their own accord about this time. The wild goose came nearer. But one could see that it was hard for her to master her fear. "I have been taught to fear everything in human shape — be it big or little,” said she. "But if you will answer for this one, and swear that he will not harm’ us, he may stay with us tonight. But I don’t believe our night-quarters are suitable for either him or you, for we intend to roost on. th'1 broken ice out here.” She thought, of course, that the goosey-gander would be doubtfui when he heard this, but he never let on., "She is pretty wise who knows how to choose such a safe bed,” said he. "You will be answerable for his return to his own tomorrow.” "Then I, too, will have to leave you,” said the goosey-gander. "1 have sworn that I would not for-sake him.” "You are free to fly whither you will,” said the leader-goose. With this, she raised her wings and flew out over the ice, and, one after another, the wild geese fol-lowed her. The boy was very sad to think that his trip till Lapland would not come off, and, in the bargain, he was afraid of the chilly night quar-ter. "It will be worse and worse.” said he. "In the first place, well freeze to death on the ice.” But the gander was in good hu-"Only make haste, I beg of you, and rnour.

Possibly you are strong in a swimming I match?” "No, I can’t boast that I am,” said the goosey-gander. It seemed to him as if the leader-goose had already made up her mind to send him home, so he did not care much how he answered. "I never swam any further than across a marl-ditcb,” he retorted. "Then I presume you are a crack sprinter,” said the goose. "I have never seen a tame goose run, nör have I ever done so myself,” said the goosey-gander; and he made things ap-I pear much worse than they really were.
