specifications for gasoline and other petroleum prod
ucts. tes ~
This committee consisted of the United States
Fuel Administration and Representatives, of the War
and Navy Departments, the United States Shipping
Board the Director General of Railroads. the Bureau
of Mines and the Bureau of Standards
The committee was assisted and advised by TECH
nical experts from each of these departments and
bodies. ste
After extended discussions, exhaustive tests and
experimentation, this Government committee adop-
ted standard specifications for gasoline, not only for
aviation purposes, but also for general motor
land and sea. ssgys r.
These United States Government specifications
were drawn up with view to providing grade of
gasoline that would meet every practical require
ment and yet allow maximum production. They deal
with the problem the basis of the best utilization
of petroleum resources, and the maintenance of
reasonable prices to the consumer.
Drafted as they were by impartial Government ex-
perts, these United States Government gasoline
specifications today being generally considered
as the most practical standard for gasoline They
insure an efficient and satisfactory gasoline and at
the same time have due regard for the necessity of
petroleum conservation
The gasoline being furnished today is more pow
erful and gives greater mileage than the gasoline of
ten years ago. It's use is made possible by the i'm
provements in automobile engines and methods of
carburizaton. To go back to the gasoline of ten
years ago would be to accept highly volatile
but less powerful gasoline giving less mileage. It
would also result in decreasing the production and
increasing the cost of gasoline
All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied in the
Pacific Coast states is refined to conform with the
United States Government standard specifications.
It has the FULL uniform chain of boiling points
essary for full-powered, dependable gasoline: Low
points for quick, smooth acceleration and high boil
ing points for power and mileage.

TO meet this situation both the petroleum and
toobile industries have for several years been max
ing every effort. The problem has been approached
from every angle:
la) The oil producers constantly prospecting
for new fields. They have sunk many wells
and are doing everything possible to increase
petroleum production.
Ib) The oil re5ners, with the help of their chemi-
cal engineers, are ever devising and inn
proved processes of refining by which thay
squeeze every possible drop of gasoline out of
each barrel of petroleum.
Nc) The antomotive engineers have aided much
in gasoline conservation by their constant
Improvement of aut omobi1e engines and
methods of carburzation. Their efforts are
to secure the operation of automobiles
grades of gasoline that permit the maximum
production of this motor fuel from each bar
rel of crude oil and which, at the same time.
will give the greatest power and mileage
from each unit of gasoline consumed
All these methods are succeeding to marked de-
gree, and yet gasoline consumption is increasing
much faster, than production
Facing these bald facts last summer It became
evident to President Wilson and the United States
Fuel Administration that there virtually as great
need for gasoline conservation for food conserya-
ton.
In consequence the United States Fuel Admins
tration requested Eastern states to discontinue en-
tirely all non-essenal use of passenger automobiles
and for time this request was SO extended that
only automobiles in Government emergency or war
service were in Sunday. These limitations
were not extended to the Western states because at
the time there was enough gasoline being produced
in California for Pacific Coast needs and its distri-
button did not require the of transcontinental
transportation facilities needed for war.
1t was part of this same campaign to conserve
gasoline that led President Wilson to appoint Gov

A correspondent asks this question:
What particular quality above all
others should a mar look for in the
woma he marries?'
Good nature. Better a homely woman
with a funny bone than a Venus with
a razor edged temper. Better a dull
woman who laughs easily than an As
temperament, Better a woman who is
a cheerful sinner than a sour saint.
Better a woman who Is n poor house

with an intense view Of life, II quiv-
ering nerves that we've easily tangled.
On the contrary. the first thing that
7 would note would be whether a girl
had humorous creases at the corners
of her eyes, and a laugh that was hung
on a hair trigger. and whether she saw
tragedy or comedy in the little ,ordi-
nary m~isadventures Of life.
Most women are good women, that
is the kind OF women a man thinks of
marrying. A man can shut his eyes,
and blind folded pick out a girl for a
wife who can be relied upon to do her
duty as a helpmeet, so he need not
get out his lantern and go about search
ing for the additionally good woman.
She is everywhere, and he can't miss
her. But the thing that really counts
in matrimony, and that determines
whether he Is going to be happy and
comfortable and bless the day that he
entered the holy estate, or spend the
balance OF his life wondering why he
did it. and signing for his bachelor
freedom, is his wife's disposition, and
her attitude toward the world,

This is where the good natured wom-

iollies instead Of scolds, Her optimism
is a magic shield that turns away the
poisoned darts Of misfortune, and

So, with his strong, front gnawing
teeth, which were like the nippers OF
Noodle, the beaver boy. Grandpa
Whsckum bit and nibbled the end Of
the long stick until he had mad a lot
OF soft, fuzzy splinters on il. The more
he gnawed the more splinters there
were. The beaver gentleman did not
bite the splinters completely off, but
left them fastened to the handle by one
end, so that, when he had finished, he
had made a wooden broom such as
the early colonial settlers used to make
OF a hickory stick.
There, Uncle Wiggily." said the
beaver gentleman when he had finished
gnawing. there is a broom for Nurse
Jane. Take it to her with my best
wishes"
II will" answered the rabbit gentle
mar and, when he had visited a little
longer with Grandpa Whackum, Mr.,
LOngears started for his stump
bungalow with the broom over his
shoulder,
Uncle Wiggily had not gone very far
before, all Of a sudden. he heard the
pitter-ratter of feet running along be-
hind him.
"I wonder if I forgot anything and
left 1t at Grandpa Whackum's house"
thought the bunny. This may be
Toodle or Noodle running after me with
IT."
But when he turned he saw the bad
old Pipsisewah chasing along as fast
as he could come.
I've got you I've got you howled
the Pip.
For q moment Uncle Wiggily did not
know what TO do. Then, all of a sud
den he saw the loose, light fluffy flakes
Of snow on the ground, and he remem-
bered Grandma WhaCkum's broom. Then
all at once Uncle Wiggily swept a big
cloud Of white snow in the face and
eyes Of the Pip.
"Oh. my! ] can't see. I can't see.'
howled the bad chap. You've made
such a snow dust with that broom that
| can't see you

IWiggily, And while the Pip was try
ing to get the snow dust out of his
eyes, Uncle Wiggily ran safely home to
his bungalow and gave the new willow
brush broom to Nurse Jane. She liked
it very much.
