GASOLINE SUPPLY
MUST BE CONSERVED

According to reports from the Ok
lahoma oil field, the gasoline produc-s
ton of 1911 will not be sufficient to
last through the year, unless radical
conservation measures are taken. DIR.
Burton, of the Standard Oil company,
told members of the society of auto-3
mobile engineers recently, that as
close as could be estimated 1917 pro-
duction would reach 2,500, 100000 gal.
Ions, OF which American automobiles
would use 1000, 100000, leaving 50o,-
600. 900 gallons for use by military
trucks. to be exported to. the allies.
The supply of oil cannot be in
creased" said DR.. Burton. Either
strict measures must be taken by the
government or double the amount Of
value extracted from the oil"
Motorists would, undoubtedly, rath-
er see the latter alternative followed
in conserving the supply, inasmuch
as il would not mean that motor-car
mileage would have to be curtailed.
People are needing the use of auto
mobiles nowadays more than ever
and any restriction would work dis
tinct hardship.
Among the manufacturers, the
Franklin Automobile company Is do
ing much to promote this idea of mo-
tor-car thrift Strange as II may seem,
the twenty odd years Of motor-car de-
sign have never produced universal
standard of gasoline efficiency. Tho
Franklin company however. has al
ways encouraged demonstrations OF
the low gasoline consumption Of its
cars and ALSO kept very careful rec
ord of owners results, which for 1917.
have averaged better than twenty
miles per gallon.
The Franklin company's solution
to the gasoline problem is weight re-
duction, which implies simplifying mo-
tor-car mechanism and the reduc-
tion OF internal friction. all OF which
consume fuel. In the opinion OF
Franklin engineers, any refinement
that reduces gasoline consumption al
SO works economies all along the line,
particularly on tires ard depreciation.
They believe that gasoline mileage IS
a true barometer Of motor-car thrift.
