DANGER OF GASOLINE
FAMINE VERY REMOTE
1900, 100000 Gallons Raw Petrolc-
um Products Il The Words An
ual Production

In the world of motor cars and
motoring, as in most phases of mum
dane existence, the march of events
brings To the front timely topics of
varying interest, which are discussed
and debated for a short day and then
pass into oblivion. But there is one
subject whose interest never flags.
which is always To the fore whenever
motorists gather together, and which
occupies somewhat the position Of
bogeyman to motordom-this subject
is the pregnant one of fuel supply.
We have considered from time to
time the possibility of a shortage in
the supply of gasoline and have dis
cussed the probability that manufact-
urers of motor cars might have to
look To a totally different agent for
their power. The claims of Kerosene.
benZol, alcohol, natural gas. and other
mediums have been advanced. I'm
doubtedly some. or at any rate, one Of
them, may be called into the breach
if our supply of gasoline fails us. but
il there much probability that this
catastrophe will ever really occur?
We are inclined TO believe that it is
not, at any rate, Immediately impend-
ing
The worlds annual production of
petroleum, the raw product from
which we get gasoline and motor lu-
bricants, is now approximately H.
600. 100000 gallons. The present
rather elementary methods of refining
get about 20 per cent of motor fuel
from a given quantity of Pennsylvania
crude petroleum. But this product is
richer in gasoline producing elements
than most crudes, so we will say that
the average amount of motor fuel to
be obtained from the crude petroleum
is only ten per cent. This would give
us LOO, 100000 gallons as the worlds
annual production Of gasoline.
At the present time there are 2,OO0,-
900 motor cars in the world. Allow
ing for the comparatively small
motors and small gasoline consump-
tion of Europe. it is certain that l.
000, 100000 gallons is a liberal esti
mate of the amount Of motor fuel
that il takes to keep these cars rum
ming for a year so that we still have a
rather large factor of safety even un
der the present crude methods of re-
fining in use by the petroleum indus
try.

FORD CAR Is VERY
POPULAR IN AUSTRIA

That the Ford rapidly is gaining in
popularity i'm Austria is the report Of
Machren q Schlesian of Vienna, Ford
agents for that part of Austria known
as the province of Nieder- Oesterreich,
Ober-O Oesterreich.
1t is interesting To note that in Aus
tria-as in most foreign countries
the Ford is first given a thorough test
as a taXicab. When it has proven its
efficiency and has demonstrated as
il invariably does-that it is able TO
stand up under this severest of motor
car tests. it gains the confidence Of the
motoring public. From then on
Fords are bought in ever increasing
numbers by private owners.
In Austria. as elsewhere, the Ford
has proven itself the most economical
of motor cars and this fact is begin
ming TO be recognized and appreciated
by the Austrians.
I'VE are now working our territory
i'm very systematic way" write
Machren & Schlesian. "and we believe
Belding banner., 1914-07-01

But this is only one angle OF the
believe that our supply of motor fuel
can be enormously increased, even IL
the supply OF crude petroleum were
not certain To increase, which IL un-
doubtedly will. There are scores OF
chemists connected with the various
large oil companies in this country
and abroad, who are spending their
entire time endeavoring TO improve
present refining methods and process
IS. Already some successes have
been noted, and there is no reason to
doubt that they will eventually find a
process whereby the amount OF motor
fuel obtainable from crude petroleum
will be double what il is today. For
instance, the petroleum obtained from
the California fields was long con-
sidered practically useless in the pro-
duction Of motor fuel, but now a pro-
duct of the west coast is being used
by commercial vehicles out there with
entire success. The crude oil obtain
ed i'm Russia has been generally used
rather for the manufacture OF lubri-
cants than of motor fuel, but we note
that recently a considerable yield of
heavy motor spirit has been
found satisfactory for fuel under GER
going to get much more motor fuel
from a given amount of crude in the
future than we have in the past.

Eords Are Good Delivery Cars

"No harder test Of the endurance of
a motor car can be found than its use
i'm the delivery service of a big city
department store. The work i'm such
cases consists of trips six days in the
week and in the busy season the days
are stretched far into the night--at
times even lasting the entire "a hours.
The work is much harder on the car
than pleasure driving, because there is
no choice of roads The goods must
be delivered no matter on what sort
of street or road the customer may
live In the cities there are miles and
miles of car tracks to be crossed, there
are cobblestones, rubble stone and
belgium blocks to be bumped over all
day long. There are hills to climb,
with rough, stone surfaces, miles of
sand and dusty roads in hot weather
are turned into seas Of slime and mud
in other seasons. But no matter what
the time of year nor the condition of
the weather. the car must be on the
job.
The fact that the Ford chassis was
built entirely of Nanadium steel the
strongest metal known in the world,
induced lots of people to use the
Model T Ford cars for delivery pur-
poses. They stood up so well under
all sorts of conditions that the demand
for them became general. The man
who is driving Ford Model 7 pleasure
car is driving exactly the same sort
of a car as the man who is driving for
the merchants who use Ford delivery
service"

lem is practically the same as our

covered but it is even more difficult
because OF the smaller population

that the Ford will make itself loved
as an instrument of service to the
agriculturist, the doctor on his rounds,
the architect, the building contractor,
and to all other classes
Members of the Government were
at first skeptical but SO thoroughly
has the Ford demonstrated its ability
that the Government is now negotiat-
ing for the purchase of number of
cars to be used by the police for the
surveillance of the routes.
The first Ford car was sold in Aus
tria in 1911. The total number of
Fords sold that year was three. The
next year five Fords went into service,
and in 1913 the total number sold
leaped to fiftytwo.
Prince Alexandra Lubomiersky is a
member Of the Austrian nobility who

the other prominent Austrian Ford
owners are the Directors Of the In

WINTER CARE WILL
SAVE THE AUTO

The automobile, while the most
expensive luxury we enjoy, is in most
cases treated with the greatest care
lessness and lack Of horse sense. What
lover of good horse flesh would take
out his horse and buggy costing at the
most $500 and speed il over muddy
roads or over rough going? Yet the
same horseman when he buys an auto
mobile costing three times as much
will put his car over bumps and stones
at a fast clip and think nothing of it,
This probably results from the fact
that il is made OF steel and he thinks
it will stand a good deal; but we pay
for this sort of foolishness A few
years ago in selling car, the demon
strator would show the prospective
buyer how fast the thing would go.
Nowadays he shows him how slow it
will go and how well it will pull up
grades and through sand. There is
nothing i'm the speed proposition.
Most owners of cars when the cold
weather comes, put their cars in a
cold barn and let them stand all win
ter without care or attention. The
carful owner Jacks his car up, let's the
air out of his tires or takes them off
entirely and stores them in a dry
dry place covers his car with dust
cover, greases parts likely to rust, oils
his leather and generally takes care
to see that everything is right.
The last year or two has seen
rapid advance in the idea of rebuild
ing and repainting cars during the
winter months Any car after being
run from $500 to 5000 miles is entitled
to be taken down, cleaned, worn out
parts replaced and put in irst-class
working condition. and with this sort
of care, it's life is unlimited. Many
cars with no care at all have shown
mileages up to $4,000. What then
be the life of a car which is overhaul
ed every year and new parts put in
where required. / venture TO say the
old car will be i'm first class running
condition when our pride won't let
them run it any longer simply be-
cause Jones across the way has new
car
Another item is the expense. A
first class hauled job, new parts
and paintings will approximate. say
$50 to 500. depending on the owner
how much he thinks of his car and
how badly il needs over-hauling. But
to turn the same old car in on trade
for new one means an outlay of at
least 500, and at the end Of a year
this new car is in the same condition
as the old one.
While a new car runs beautifully
we all know that it must run many
miles before it is smoothed-in and has
it's maximum power. With the old
car, well rebuilt, everything is smooth,
there is little friction, it takes less oil
and gasoline, and it gives good SER
vice and satisfaction.
In short, any car will run and
operate in proportion to the care ii
receives. A good motto to follow,
and one which at least one well-known
manufacturer of cars suggests is,
Treat your car as kindly as you do
your wife and children"
Still another advantage in rebuild
ing during the winter is that ii prev
ents breakage in the summer. An
overhauled car which has had every
