A few motorists have small can

ing plunger on this can the ether Is
introduced into the gasoline.
Chemists who were interviewed
told how ether also could be mixed
directly with the gasoline in the fuel
tank of an automobile, but this would
not be practical because of the prohib-
tive cost, as the present market price
of ether is As cents pound, which is
equivalent to $3.50 a gallon.
A mixture of gasoline and ether
was formerly used by automobile
racers in indianapolis and on other
speedways.
But the practice has been discon-
tinued, The racers mixed it in the
proportion of about a pint of ether to
five gallons of gasoline. But for the
high cost it was said, ether would be
a better automobile fuel than gaso-
line, as it would develop higher pow
