Deficient Gasoline Pumps
Mulch Motorists of Millions

Washington, D. c., Oct 20. - Short
measuring gasoline pumps. according to
an investigation by the Federal Bureau
of Standards, are mulcting motorists of
millions of dollars year. In Illinois
alone the loss is not less than $500, 900
year., Tests in many cities have con-
frmed previous conclusions and actual
tests of the types of pumps used by
retailers at the bureau here have
shown 80 per cent. of them to give
short measure for various reasons Some
Of them are susceptible to manipula-
tion by the dealer.
This tendency toward deficient
measurement says an announcement
by the bureau SIS worthy of careful
consideration. as it results in the ag-
gregate in enormous monetary losses to
the public.
"It is safe to say that in all localities
not under an efficient and competent
weights and measures administration
and in large majority of those which
do have a relatively. competent admins
tration. the condition of measuring
pumps is such that the motoring public
Is being subjected to regular and con-
