believe in the theory that the auto

ESSEX SIMPLICITY
|SFEATURE OF CAR
Elimination of Complicated
Non-ESSentiaIS Makes Task
of Owner Easy.

''The Essex. which is the only new
car to be displayed at the automo-
bile show this year. is remarkable
notable OF them being its simplic-
ity." said d. A. Boswell OF the Su-
perior Motor Sales CO.
Ease Of operation, simplicity of
maintenance and comfort have been
kept constantly in view by the de-
signers. and the car itself is built In
the factory at Detroit.
an the past automobile develop
ment has been toward a cheap, light
car with economy and low first cost
as its chief advantages, or toward a
car possessing luxury, comfort and
endurance at the expense of high
first cost and heavy maintenance
expense. The Essex combines the
advantages both these types.
ESSEX a STURDY CAR.
The Essex is so sturdily con-
structed that long life is assured.
whilecomfort is obtained, even on
, the toughest roads, by the long
springs and the careful distribution
of weight. The seats are real seats
and their backs reach to the shout
ders. All useless weight has been
eliminated which contributes to the
exceptional performance Of the car
and assures long tire life.
lone of the most marvellous
things about the car is the motor
which although only twenty-nine
Inches long develops more than fifty
horsepower. The power of the car
on hills, its acceleration, and smooth
able.
I'm its construction nothing has
been sacrificed TO mere appearance,
it's beauty coming from inherent
qualities OF fitness of line and con-
tour and from work correctly done"

PLAN To INCREASE
THE FUEL SUPPLY
Expert Engineers are Now at
Work on Problem of
Closer RefiEins

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-The bu-
reau OF mines has long taken an &C
tive interest in the question of gaso-
line supply. The fuel problem looms
up larger and larger before the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers. At
their convention held here recently.
they devoted an active session to the
discussion of ways and means for
increasing the fuel output
One of the notable speakers at
this fuel session was DR.. Z. W. Dean,
of the bureau of mines DIR. Dean
discusses the possibilities OF in
increasing the supply of gasoline by
rssOrting TO improvements in oil re-
flnery practice. These possibilities
include:
1. A higher volatility limit for
gasoline.
.. More efficient distillation meth
DDS.
9. Recovery of gasoline now lost
in refining.
4. Wider use of cracking pro-
cesseS
Originally the "endpoint" of gaso-
line was 500 deg r. The high
test" fuel is now $50 deg. F.. while
the usual grades are already so
heavy that they have an endpoint of
400 TO 45O deg. f. DR.. Dean says. if
all the gasoline with this high end
point were accepted. 10 to 20 per
cent more gasoline would be avail
a BILE Unfortunately there would be
correspondence less kerosene avail
able
What IL VIII Mean.
The bureau OF mines estimates
that by means of improved distilla-
ton methods the nations supply of
gasoline might be increased by
about 10 per cent. The refinery
losses could probably be lowered
from four per cent down TO two per
cent of the crude oil refined, so that
another 10 per cent Of the gasoline
produced could be gained.
The future Of the cracking
processes which have been advo-
Gated represent to date only a proba-
bility. Moreover il must be kept in
mind that the cracking OF gasoline
necessitates the consumption Of fuel
oil. and il the demand for this eX-
ceeds the supply its price is bound
20 rise. thus wiping out the margin
of profit OF cracking processes. The
bureau thinks il is doubtful that the
consumption OF fuel oil can ever be
reduced sufficiently TO permit dOub-
I ling the production of gasoline by
cracking
The conclusions reached were
that, excluding cracking the rehne-
may be able TO improve his gasoline
+ extraction by % 10 50 per cent.
while the cracking processes. il
adopted. holds out a maximum yield
+ OF 100 per cent over the existing
supply.

AGAINST
 THE AFGHAN TRlBESMEN

London, May 9, via Montreal.-Gen- eral Sir 4. A. Barrett, in command i'll northern India, has begun operations against the Afghan tIjbesmen who crossed the Afghan border and occu :. pied positions on the Indian side. Reu- ters Limited learns that the advance Of British mobile columns in the neighborhood of the northwest from tier IS having d reassuring effect.
 The latest news rom SabGl. .the capital of Afghanistarl. is dated April 90 and says that members Of the es-
 cort party of the British agent, who is an Indian. had left kabul. At that time kabul was the scene Of great eX-
 citement and there was considerable troop movements in the surrounding
 country. It was said. however. that
 there was to be nothing in the nature Of ;t genera! advance, owing to the ab- sence Of direct orders from the Amir. It is understood here that a band ot four hundred Afghans with several guns has occupied one Indian frontier position and that 8 somewhat larger force is at another point.
 The Indian office ill London Thurs day received Information that Afghan i tribesmen, aided by Afghan regular troops, had occupied positions east oi ! the Afghan-Indian border. It was 6al1
 that the British government had sent vigorous note to the new Amir, who i 1t was added, had adopted an un- i friendly attitude toward the British.

and transport them until the last man is discharged. We must pay, too, for the great accumulations of stores pro- vided for the use of the army. and sat- isfy the debts of honor which our country undertook as its share of the great undertaking whereby the war was won.
 During the war we demonstrated the military. industrial, financial and moral power of America. The eyes of the world are watching the success of the Victory loan as the last conclusive step in that demonstration. We can not fail! The great sacrifice was made by our soldiers who carried the flag of America to triumph in battle. We at home can do nothing which will equal the completeness and the glory of that sacrifice, but we can sustain and sup port the fighting men and help to gather the fruits of their victory by showing the same sort of determina- ton in the Victory loan that the coun- try showed in the Liberty loans and the soldiers showed when they went over the top.
 This is the last great test. This loan is the last chapter in the story of America's supreme achievement It must be worthy of the other chapters in that story. written by the soldiers at the front and the civilians at home and together telling of heroism, sacri- flee and determination in patriotic and righteous cause"
