TIPS ON TIRES

When tires are loaded beyond their

heat Is generated at the edges OF the
tread.
Oversize tires were primarily de
signed FOR exceptional and hard ser.

eral favor because OF extra strength.
easier riding and longer mileage. The
reziilency OF larger tires reduces the
traction silppage on the rear wheels
and lessons vibration to the mech.
anissu OF the car.
Rcadjust Spcedometer
When oversize tires are placed on
front wheels which were originally
equipped with regular size tires. the
diameter over all will be increased
about one inch. and the spccdometer
should be readjusted. otherwise the
mileage recorded win be less than
that actually covered.

martyr, who at the age of ID suffered
persecution and was beheaded under
Diocletian about the year 304. At

Some time ago the Arizona Bureau
of Mines began the collection of data
relative to the losses incurred by
Arizona miners as result of the sud-
den decrease in the demand for war
minerals which occurred Immediately
following the signing of the arnnis-
tice. The director is very glad to
announce that Representative Carl
Hayden on February "a introduced a
bill in the House of Representatives
providing lalief for producers of
manganese, chrome, pyrites or tung-
stem mined TO supply the urgent needs
of the nation in the prosecution of
the war. This bill has passed both
the House and the Senate, and has
been signed by the President, so is
now in force. 1t authorizes the Sec
retary of the Interior to "pay such
net losses as have been suffered by
any person, firm or corporation by
reason of producing or preparing to
produce either manganese, chrome.

with the request or demand of the

provides that the Secretary shall CON
slider. approve. and dllDOgQ OF Only
such claims as shall be made hereun-
der and filed with the Department OF
the Interior within three months from
and after the approval OF the act;
that no claims shall be paid unless
it shall appear to the Secretary that
moneys were invested OF obligations
were incurred subsequent to April .,
1917, and prior to November IL, 1915;
that the minerals were produced from
properties containing them IN sum,
cient quantities to be OF commercial
Importance; that no profits OF any
kind shall be included in the allow
ance of such claims; and, further that
no investment for merely speculative
purposes shall be recognized in any
manner by the Secretary.
A number of Arizona producers of
war minerals have already collres-
ponded with the Bureau of Mines and
have furnished the data required to
present their claims properly, but it
is believed that many others have
failed to do this, and these should at
once send in the following inforn1a-
ton to the Director, Arizona Bureau
of Mines, Tucson, Arizona.
Name and location of property.
Name and address of owner or ope-
rators.
Date when development work was
begun.
Amount of money expended since
the Government appealed for increas-
ed production of war minerals. This
statement should show for what pur-
poses the >sum mentioned was ex-

On receipt of this data the Direc-
tor will advise the producers how to

SOME FACTS
A B OUT 7 HE
QUALIT Y OF
GASOLINE

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found an announcement by the Stan
dard Oil company explaining why the
necessary production of gasoline for
our fighting aeroplanes was respon-
sible during the latter part of the
war for the lack of easy starting
qualities in ordinary motor gasoline.
Every oil company had more or
less difficulty with gasoline during
the last few months of 1918 and some
complaint was heard among motor
lists. 1t was impossible until now,
however, to offer any explanation,
because it was military fact which
could not be made public.
Aviation gasoline must be highly
volatile, or in other words, it must
vaporize rapidly and this special fuel
was furnished OILY at the sacrifice of
the gasoline left for regular use. Cas-
ohue is made ur of constituents hav-
ing boiling points ranging from low
to high. That needed for aeroplanes
took large part Of the low boiling
point constituents from the crude oil
and left the ordinary motor gasoline
somewhat lacking in these low boil
ing points which are necessary for
easy starting of the engine.
While aviation gasoline is exactly
suited for engines operating in the
extreme cold and rarefed atmosphere
OF high attitudes it would be ansu:t-
ca 1or automobiles. It would lack
the necessary over would eyanor-
ate TOO quickly and would be expen-
sive.
Immediately after the siguing of
the armistice the need for this spe-
cial aviation gasoline became less ur-
gent and Red Grown gasoline re-
gained its old high quality, due TO
rull, uniform chain of boiling noints
from the low to the high.
Wmie it was an unfortunate fact
tnat the ordinary motorist had to nnt
up with a fuel which was not m1;te
Wnar ne had been used to, vet he
prayed an important part in winning
tne way Of getting along with such
gasoilne as could be manufactured
without interfering with the outout
oI aviation gasoline. The Pacific
- EoasG mad a much easier time than
tne Eastern states. In the, East q
general shortage of gasoline forced
Gne Fuel Administration to issue or
oers prohibiting the use of pleasure
automobiles on Sunday.
Inc output of aviation gasoline bv
an the refneries east of the Rockies
was not enough, so California was
called upon to furnish a large mart
qI the supply. At the request of the
United States Government the Pacific
coast Petroleum War Service Corn
mttee apportioned California's quota
among such Of the large refiners as
We're able to make this special gas
ohne. The Standard Oil company be-
ing the largest of these, naturally
mad the greatest quota to fill. They
more than did their part in meeting H
this war need and exceeded their
quota to considerable extent.
1t was only during a period OF
ABOUT six weeks in the late fall of
1913 that the lack Of easy starting
gasoline was evident. Soon as possible
Red Crown gasoline was put back on
lts old high quality basis and it now

Delllng points from low to high which
is necessary for easy starting, quick
and smooth acceleration, high power
and long mileage.
