The latest step in lowering the cost of motoring is the development of carburetor which makes it possible to use oil tops, or oil toppings. in gaso- line engines. oil toppings is one of the very lowest grade of licRIid fuels and is 8 by-product of the Califor- mia petroleums. It is usually drained from the refining tanks and either thrown away or burned in furnaces and its market price in California is 3 cents a gallon "Toppings" is that portion of the refnings which float on the top of the tanks and is only Al degrees Baugne gravity at 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It is slow in evaporating and under ordinary circumstances is sluggish in combustion.
 The first attempt was recently made. A 1,500-pound truck with a 1000 pound load made a record run of twenty -four hours forty minutes from Los Angeles to San Francisco, a distance of 472 miles. The average speed maintained was eighteen miles an hour. The time made is saiG to excel the best previous record of the same course by more than six hours.
 The car was a stock truck with no special equipment save a carburetor designed to burn low grade fuel. It is designed to handle the lowest grades of fuel as well as gasoline kerosene and distillate.
 Forty six and one-half gallons of oil tops was consumed on the run at a fuel cost of S1 40. This figures out at 9.S5 miles per gallon for the 472 miles. At cents 2 gallon the fuel cost per mile was $.0003 and the fuel cost per ton mile with the 2000 pound load was 03 cents This is less than one-fifth of the cost if gasoline were used instead of the oil toppings

A grand prix race in France next year is now an assured feature. This years well filled season of road races hill climbs, competitions and demon strations have proven to the trade in general that decided advantages are obtained from these forms of activ-; ities. There are a certain number of big self-sat.sfied manufacturers whof would stif1e all forms of demonstration but these have been out-ruled by the more vigorous and far seeing element. In all probability the gasoline allow ance will be limited, and it is quite likely that the number of tires to be taken on each car will also be re- Artricted. This is done in order to

PANKHURST IS

PRISON CELL

LONDON, April 12.-(By Unit
ed Press. )-Exhausted as a re-
suit of her refusal to eat food
during her confinement in Hollo-
way prison, and unable to stand
without assistance, Mrs. Emmelin
Pankhurst, leader of the militant
suffragettes, who was recently
sentenced to three years in prison
at hard labor, was today re-
leased.
A committee of suffragettes re-
ceived their leader at the en-
trance to the Jail and immediate;
ly removed her to a private hos1
pital.
Mrs. Pankhurst refused to
make any statements regarding
her own condition, but twas as
serted at suffragette headquar-
ters that her condition is not
"precarious." For nine days
Mrs. Pankhurst subsisted entire
ly on cold water. She is still
technically a prisoner, and must
serve her three actual years in
prison unless she is pardoned or
sentence is commuted.

trip for 25 cents, and now they
are going to stop the Communication
tickets"
The American lake people have
been getting commutation tickets
at the rate of 10 cents for a trip.
The company now intends to stop
them and force a straight 15-cent
fare.
A. H. Barnhisel said the action
of the company was probably pre-
cipitated by the demand Of the
Spanaway people for straight
10-cent fare. One of the argu-
ments used at the hearing before
the public service commission
was that American lake was get
ting a 10-cent fare through the
Communication tickets and Spana-
way is closer to Tacoma than
American lake.
The company evidently decided
to take this argument away from
Spanaway.
If the company insists on stop
ping the Communication tickets the
matter will probably be taken to
the public service commission.
