TULSA MAY GET ROAD
FROM CANADA TO GULF
Cyrus S. Avery Will Make an
Effort to Place City on
King of Trails"

An international highway from Win
nipeg to the gulf of Mexico, with an
anticipated terminus in the City Of
Mexico, is the dream of the promoters
OF the King of Trails association which
will hold its annual convention in
Kansas City, Kan, July IL and 12.
Two thousand one hundred miles OF
the road has already been chartered
and logged and over one thousand
miles officially marked, and 1t is the
intention of the promoters to definitely
locate and mark the remaining mile
age during the coming summer.
The route as now proposed enters
the state of Oklahoma few miles
south of Chetopa, Kan, and runs prac-
tically due south to Ninita. From
Ninita it is yet uncertain whether
the route will be by way of Muskogee,
McAlester and Atoka to Durant or
whether it will come by way of Chel-
sea. Claremore, Tulsa, Okmulgee. Hem
ryetta, Okemah and south to Durant.
Best In Country.
Wcll-posted road men thruout the
country freely proclaim this the most
important north and south highwsy
project now under consideration and
the highway department of the Tulsa
Chamber of Commerce is making ar
rangements to have Tulsa well repre-
sented at the Kansas City meeting.
Mr. Guthrey is in communication
with each of the towns interested in
the link directly affecting Tulsa and it
is his hope to have in Kansas City
n representative from each of the i'm
portant towrv between Chelsea and
DurHnt.
cyrus $. Avery, president OF the AL
bert Pike Highway association. and
chairman of the local highway COM
mittee, is enthusiastic over the pros

BOILING TEST
BESTFORFUEL
Gravity Test Does Not
Show the Real Value
of Gasoline.

The careful motorist is Just as
anxious to buy the best gasoline for
his car as he is to see that he has
the proper pressure in his tires. But
most motorists probably have used
some so called high test or 70
gravity or some other gasoline with
a fancy name without obtaining any
improvement either in easy starting,
economy, or freedom from carbon.
The result is many have concluded
all gasolines are about equally good
or bad" says L J. frost, Marmon
dealer
There is no question that some
grades of gasoline are superior to
others, but none of the common
properties of appearance, odor or
even weight are conclusive tests OF
merit When gasoline was Of uni
form grade the weights of equal units
OF volume represented a fairly ac-
curate check on relative qualities.
Thus 70 degree gravity or test
weight or density, while so degree
is somewhat heavier.
The fact is that buying gasoline
by the gravity test alone is hardly
any better as an Indication OF gaso-
line quality than buying coal by its

which might be either a pure. equal
distillation. excellent for motor car
fuel, or IL might be a combination Of
so degree gasoline with 80 degree
kerosene in equal parts by weight.
THE real test is to determine the
lowest temperature at which the
fluid will boil, the percentage that
boils away at different temperatures
as the heat increases, and finally the
temperature at which the fluid is all
boiled away. A gasoline that boils
at from 100 degrees (Fahrenheit) to
$50 degrees, and boiis away entirely
at from $50 to 375 degrees. makes an
excellent motor car fuel
Eight or ten years ago gasoline
was hardly more than a distiiler's by
product, and the gasoline distilled
averaged about 20 percent Of the
crude petroleum. The increased use
Of automobiles forced the distiIlers to
obtain the largest possible percent
age OF gasoline from the petroleum,
nearly 100000 900 gallons Of gaso-
line being consumed annually in the
United States for pleasure cars alone.

percent Of the petroleum. 1850. 900, 600
gallons OF crude oil would be needed
to produce the gasoline for these

that crude oil is a mixture Of q large

ROAD WORK HELD UP
BY LABOR SHORTAGE

The total designated mileage Of state
and county highway systems IN New York
state at the present time Is 119sS. OF
which 5926 miles had been completed and
accepted on January I. while contracts in
force at that time covered 11s5 miles
This with the contracts awarded during
the year 1916 leaves a balance OF desig-
mated mileage not yet cared for Of 1910
Highway construction during the past
two years has been gravely hindered be-
cause OF the fact that surplus labor has
been largely absorbed IN munition making
and other abnormal Industrial activities.
In New York state during 1915 II was
impossible to secure. even at largely IN
crossed cost. more than a quarter OF the
labor actually required for highway work.
