Motorists need have no fear of
possible shortage of gasoline in
America.
The question of a possible gasoline
shortage in this country has been up
permost in the minds of automobile
owners and others who contemplate
buying motor cars.
To begin with. the supply of raw
material or crude oil is almost mex
haustible. To the observer who has
travelled through the oil fields of
Oklahoma, Texas and Mexico the facts
are apparent. OF course, such prod
uct Is controlled by supply and de-
mand and prices are usually fixed ac-
cordingly, but in the event Of the re-
mote possibility that our vast supply
of crude oil should dwindle to such
an extent that there would actually
become a shortage, the American in
yentive genius will come forward and
a substitute will be created which will
take the place of gasoline.
Germany is credited with having
produced a fluid by combining benzoI
and beet alcohol in equal parts. and
IL is more economical than gasoline.
as a motor car or loaded truck will
travel more miles per gallon when
burning this fluid than when gasoline
was used.
supply Is Sufficient.
Benzol Is a coal tar product and
the supply is amply sufficient and
beets can be raised in huge guam
titles and so far as the product
goes, if Germany has produced it
and found it a success. We can.
There is nothing impossible to the
American creative mind, and when
the hour of necessity comes, il it
ever does. the substitutes will be
ready and pleasure cars will run as
usual. In the meantime, if motorists
practice gasoline economy. it will
mean a great saving and conserve
the supply. which Is far beyond the
present demand.
The American people are prepar,
to meet all emergencies, but in the
summing up ii is advisable to dis
courage joy riding, as that practice
burns up thousands of gallons OF
gasoline monthly and Is a dangerous
pastime for thoughtless individuals,
by the elimination of which We not
only conserve the supply of gasoline
but force down the price by reduc-
ing the demand.
Gasoline, however, for use by the
average motOrist, will always be

What is meant by gear reduction
on high? What relation has the
speed Of the motor to it's power
and perfOrmanCe2-A. L. F.
The term gear reduction refers
to the ratio between the number of
teeth on one gear to those on an
other gear. The gear reduction on
high is the ratio between the num-
Der of teeth on the differential ring
gear and the driving pinion. Thus
10 l means that there are three
times IS many teeth on the ring
gear as there are on the piniOn.
This means that the engine turns
over three times to one revolution
OF the rear wheels, when the gears
are in high. 2.-As the engine
speed increases the power increases
up to a certain point called the
peak. At this point the engine has
reached its maximum power, al
though the speed may be further
increased

This type of radiator is actually more
efficient because the air draft from
the fan reaches almost the entire

Yesterday a cablegram was receir-

chimpanZee movie queen was needed
in the Southern California city not
later than April l. She will leave on
the WilheImina Wednesday in order
to reach Los Angeles in time to work
in a new series of plays that have
been written for her and her consort,
Napoleon.
After completing these films at the

do, both Sally and Napoleon will be
taken to Japan and possibly to China.
Negotiations are now under way to
take the only monkey movie stars to
the Orient for an extended engage
ment. -.-s
Probably no motion pictures made
cost more to produce than the jungle
pictures now being shown at the BIZ

successfully made nearly dozen feet
are lost. This is due to the fact that
both Sally and Napoleon insist on
doing many things that are not called
for in the plays. Both the chimpan-
ices are exceedingly nervous andScon-
slant care must be exercised to keep
them interested while posing before
