BETTER GASOLINE
aim OF MOTORISTS
Miller Brothers Auto Company Gives
Advice Concerning Fuel.

Don't kick about the poor quality of

advises the Miller Bros. Auto Company.

results Of the recent conference Of the
Bureau of Standards and the Bureau of

These two bodies met about three
weeks ago to fix upon a reliable stand

of gasoline quality are based on specific

its vaporizing points, are more nearly a
measure Of its availability in an engine,
than specific gravity. and a standard of
this kind would be Of real value to mo-
torists," say Miller Bros. Tho frm goes
on to say that II the individual motorist
would show moro interest in this gaso-
limo situation. the remedy would come

TAKES HILL So STEEP
gas" RUNS OUT TANK
Remarkable Record Made by bort Car
at Atchison, Kan.

Some motor cars climb hills and others
simply "eat 'em up" In the words of
Miller Bros. Auto Co. local distributor
OF the bort line Of motor cars. the bort
Is distinctly in this latter class
The firm tells of some recent tests of
this hill climbing ability of the bort that
were made on the hills just outside Atch-
ison, Kan. In filling the gasoline tank
just previous to these tests. the filler cap
was mislaid and the cap from another
car Of larger size was laid over the open
ing One of the grades taken was SO
steep that Just before the top Of the hill
was reached the angle of tine car was
such that a quantity OF gasoline ran out
OF the tank onto the floor of the car,
yet the sturdy little car did not falter
or miss a single explosion, but kept on
the top of the hill without the driver
being obliged to shit from high to sec
ond speed.
This is particularly remarkable because
the bort tank, which Is located In the
dash. has a projecting spout Of several
inches, and under ordinary conditions II
would be necessary to place the car al
most perpendicularly to spill even a drop
OF gas from the tank.
Miller Bros. vouch for the truth of this
story. which was related to Mr.. Mansfield,
general sales manager OF the bort Motor
Car Co., at the recent Chicago Automo-
bile Show, and was attested to by several
observers who were In the car At the
time.
