 In addition, Mr. Denegre points 10 the great saving in tonnage on our transportation system if the full possi- bility of reducing the national gasoline consumption were taken advantage or. If all automobiles would register ~ miles to the gallon of gasoline, the total amount of fuel required for motor car purposes would, it is estimated, be re-
 duced fully 9 per cent. This saving would effect a corresponding reduction of tank car movement on the railroads and make room for other classes of freight.
 Furthermore, the necessity to main tain unimpaired the great mileage re- quired of motor cars these days for utility purposes strictly, means that cars | in such service should not have their supply of fuel endangered by unneces- sary consumption among motor cars in general.

FUEL ECONOMY IS NATIONAL DUTY |25 Per Cent of Gas" Con- sumption Would Be Saved If Car Made 20 Miles
 to the Gallon

.For the most part, the motoring pub lie is apt to think of fuel economy merely as saving of money,' says Charles Denegre, president of the south
 ern garage, "yet the question is so much broader that real conservation Of the supply of gasoline and oil becomes a national obligation of equal impor-
 tance to coal conservation. It is not
 so much question nowadays as to
 whether an automobile owner can af-
 ford to use gasoline and oil extrava- gantly and to be careless about costs
 in automobile operation generally, for
 it must be remembered that while the
 money expended for fuel can be used again and again in normal circulation, the fuel once consumed is actually an economic loss, as far as the supply is concerned. And with the nation at war, such a loss, if permitted to go on un- checked, means serious drain on the

 Los Angeles. as one of the greatest raotor trucking centers in the on'se states. has witnessed many lorcelul demonstrations of motor truck elll- ciency, and there is one that hhsels as a strong example of what can pc avrected of heavy duty machines.
 When a great number of 2S F -1oet sections of l2-inch pipe had to be n.oved from Los Angeles into the san Fernando valley to points far re- moved from railroads, the transpos tation problems proved perplexing un- til the motor truck entered the situ- ation
 A test was made with a tlve-ton Pierce-Arrow truck and a trailer or five tons capacity owned oy the A"- vance Truck company. Fifty-siX sec lions of the pipe weighing total o1 | F tons, was loaded upon the Pierce- Arrow and trailer, and it fairly raced

The | time. money and labor saved by mo- 1 tor truck transportation in this one big project alone ran into great sums. | A striking example of the utility or ! the motor truck is being given every day by the Advance Truck company fleet. A keenly felt shortage of raii-

 today and this condition is prevalent throughout the United States. It is sim gularly interesting that railroad l company that owns ranch III ven l tura county, near Los Angeles.

 For these reasons, if for no others, MT. Denegre urges that all motorists look closely to gasoline consumption per mile. It is more and more becoming the rule 10 regard the gasoline mileage of the lighter and more efficient cars as the standard of consumption. In fact, how much mileage car renders for the gasoline consumed is now being gauged greatly by what the car weighs.

By the gambling element in tires" said F. c. Millhoff, sales manager of the Miller Rubber company, Akron, o., be- fore a convention of leading dealers I, of course, mean the failure of two tires of the same brand for example, to rem der equal mileage. To make it even more lucid: You buy two tires of the same kind You put them on at the same time and subject them to equal wear and tear What, normally, is the result? There is a variance in mileage of possibly hun- dreds of miles,
 FUNDAMENTALS SAME
 Now, mind you, this difference in tires reputed to be good tires is not because of shoddy material. Good rubber and good fabric are procurable by all manu- facturers. sTrue, not all manufacturers compound alike the rubber, and, more- over, it is a fact that all do not pursue the save avenue in vulcanizing. But the fundamentals of tiremaking are generally pretty much the same.
 "Then what Is it that brings about these variations of mileage in tires built side by side? 1t Is simply this: The manufacturers may have driven out the mechanical variations, but he has not
