Clean Generators
There are a number of ways to
clean or renew the generators of
gas pressure stoves, heaters and
urn burners so that they function
like new ones insofar as service or
operation is concerned. The most
successful method of removing the
carbon is to disassemble the gen
erators and pass the parts through
a solution of saltpeter which has
been made liquid by heating to a
temperature of about 2.000 degrees.
The generator parts, when treated in
this manner, come out entirely free
of carbon, and when reassembled
the generator works like new. This
method, of course, can only be used
when the generator renewal vol
ume is great enough to justify the
expense.
Names of States
Connecticut is Indian for ‘long
river,” Maine means “the main
land,” to distinguish it from the is
lands, and Massachusetts is Indian
for “great hills place.” New Hamp
shire is named for Hampshire,
England, and Rhode Island for
Rhodes, an island in the Aegean sea.
Vermont is French for “green moun
tain.” New Jersey was named to
compliment the governor of Jersey
island off Brittany, and New York,
was named for the duKe of York.
Pennsylvania is Latin for "Penn’s
woodland.”
Gluing Wood
For best results in gluing wood,
ooth the glue and the wood should

Sermon to Hep-Cats in Jive Style , >s«*
Horn-Tooter Hawkins Halts Swing to Lecture Bobby Soxers
By JOSEPH KAHN
In the NEW YORK POST
"Listen, you hep-cats, hold up a
minute! I’ve stopped with the horn,
and I'm gonna blow off some im
portant steam.”
Like a bombshelFErskine Haw
kins. popular Negro orchestra lead
er, breaks in on his solid swing
program while playing at casinos,
dance halls and parties throughout
the country for the teen-agers.
And before you can say “Tuxedo
Junction," which he wrote, he is
well on hi3 way with a brief talk
ajjout curbing juvenile delinquency.
Kids Need Guidance
Hawkins figures “kids need guid
ance.” and explained during an
interview at the Hotel Lincoln,
where he is playing currently,
"dances are a good time to catch
them.”
"Stay off the streets, “he tells them
with paternal gusto and a dash of
( real jive language. And they listen
to him. too.
He stresses the usefulness of
spare time.
“If you don’t go in for sports, read
books, or be hep to plenty of places
to learn how to make things with
machines and tools. You can take
free art courses, music, or any
other subject you’d like to take
up."
Hawkins, who is known for his
great facility on the trumpet, re
minded the interviewer of the exist
ence of playgronuds, parks and
libraries.
“Keep Away From Gangs”
“Try them,” he says, “and you’ll
find them more fun than running
around with a gang and looking for
trouble on every corner.”
Hawkins has alw'ays been de
voted to young people. At Alabama
State Teachers College where he
taught music and dramatics, he
| brought together the nucleus of his
present orchestra in 1934.
