The governor, speaking of the ac-

the legislature, stated frankly that
while he had been able to work in
harmony with the senate, he always
had been and still was unable to un-

referring more particularly to certain
new members.

specifications for gasoline and other petroleum prod
ucts.
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
meal experts from each of these departments and
bodies.
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 use on
land and sea.
These United States Government specifications
were drawn Up with a view to providing a grade of
gasoline that wculI meet every practical REQUIRE
rnent and yet allow maximum production. Thew deal
with the problem on the basis of The best utilization
OF our 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 are today being generally considered
as the most practical standard for gasoline, Thew
insure an efficient and satisfactory gasoline and ar
the same time have due regard for the necessity of
petroleum conservation.
The gasoline being furnished today is more DOW
ertul and gives greater mileage than the gasoline of
ten years ago. Its use is made possible by the i'm
provements in automobile engines and methods of
carburization. To go back to the gasoline of ten
years ago would be to accept a more 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 d in the
PACING Coast states is refined to conform with the
United States Government standard specifications.
1t has the full, uniform chain of boiling points nee
essary for iull-powered, dependable gasoline: Low
boiling points for easy starting. medium boiling
points for quick, smooth acceleration, and high boil
ing points for power and mileage.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1919-05-02

To meet this situation both the petroleum and ~
tomobile industries have for several years been max
ing every effort. The problem has been approached
from every angle:
() The oil producers are constantly prospecting
tor new fields. They have sunk many wells
and are doing everything possible to increase
petroleum production.
6) The oil reiners, with the help of their chemi-
cal engineers, are ever devising new and i'm
proved processes of refining by which thew
squeeze every possible drop of gasoline out of
each barrel of petroleum.
() The automotive engineers have aided much
In gasoline conservation by their constant
improvement of automobile engines and
methods of carburization. Their efforts are
to secure the ~opefation of automobiles on
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 a 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 was virtually as great
need for gasoline conservation as for food conserva-
ton.
In consequence the United States Fuel Admins
tration requested Eastern states to discontinue en-
tirely all non-essential use of passenger automobiles,
and for a time this request was so extended that
only automobiles in Government, emergency or war
service were in use on 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 it's distri-
button did not require the use of transcontinental
transportation facilities needed for war.
1t was part of this same campaign to conserve
gasoline that led President Wilson to appoint a Gov
eminent committee to determine and adopt standard
