BIC WASTE IN MOTOR FUEL

Motorists Should Be Careful to Avoid Gasoline Famine;
Standard Oil Man Says Supply Of indispensable
Fluid Is Near Limit: Crude Oil Pro
duction Not Necessary.

-HICAGo, III, May Is.-'1t seems
to be the experience OF every
~ dealer IN gasoline nowadays that
a certain percentage OF complaints
may be expected from the users OF
motor vehicles" said Or. W. ". Bur
ton. vice president Of the Standard

states. defective ignition apparatus

actually lies

ably satisfactory, that its quality n

n 1907 to an estimated producIlon o.
over 2,ooe, GOO. 900 gallons in 1916.
The question might Wen De asked
why tbs increase in gasoline prooue-
ton has been zoo per cent during the
last ten years, whereas the increase
in the number OF cars has been over
1900 percent. Ten years ago large
quantity Of gasoline was consumed
IN this country IN the SO ealI go So esG ,
line stoves widely used for oomestlc
purposes. Today the gasoline stove
has become almost extinct. ana thus
a considerable quantity OF gasoline
has been released for use IN lntelIlal
combustion engines. There is no DOUBT
but for this extenuating feature the
situation would be much more critical

Of motor fuel from crude oil has been
secured during the last three or four
years by improved refining processes,
but, due TO the inability Of the refin-
ers TO secure necessary steel and other
supplies for building stills, IL is not
at all probable that the increased pro-
duction Of motor fuel will meet the
tremendous increase indicated in the
manufacture and sale OF motor We
hicles and other internal combustion
engines, and II is also not probable
that the production Of crude petrol

PAINT RIMS To

Regardless OF the tires you use"
says S. Z. Silversparre. of the Boss
Rubber company. Saving OF time and
money can be effected II the owner
viii follow carefully all OF the rules
laid down by the tire manufacturers
for the care Of tires. Careful re-
search work and years OF experience
have brought to light many things
in regard to the care Of tires; and
the tire industry is TO be compliment
ed on the manner in which it has
ungrudsingly given this information
10 the car owners
1T is safe TO say that the man
who is consistently following the ad-
vice Of the tire makers is getting
better mileage from his tires. and
also having fewer kicks to register
against the automobile manufactur-
ers in regard to their tire equipment.

lished in England. that a very prom
inent tire manufacturer abroad is ad-
vertising a special paint to be used
on the rims to prevent rust. They
are cautioning their buyers to peri
odfcally inspect the rims of their car
wheels, remove what rust has col
lected with a piece Of emery cloth
and then apply this rust-preventinS
paint
aThis suggestion is a very good
one. for every car owner 10 heed. Any
one who has removed a tire after II
has been on the rim any length OF
time has undoubtedly noticed the rust
on the rim This rust will in time
tear down the fabric OF the tire and
weaken the bead. The wheel rims
are painted on cars before they leave
a factory, but il is easily seen that
this part Of the car. subject to all
manner Of road conditions, will rust
in time. It would be well for all
drivers TO heed this advice from our
English cousins and occasionally ap-
ply a suitable paint TO the rims, first
removing as much rust as possible
