Think I'll sell my car." said the man in .the seat by the window. as he laid down his paper and took another puff of his fat cigar. They have advanced gaso- line another cents, and now a fellow has to pay 32 cents at most filling sta- tions. Think of it: S2 centsl Why I can see that if they keep this up we'll be paying a dollar gallon for the stuff be- fore we know it. It's outrageous!'
 "Yes, it is a mighty stiff price," agreed the gray-haired man at his left, who looked like a manufacturer-perhaps a motor car manufacturer guessed Leslie Y.

Crude at this dizzy level is bound to encourage all sorts of wildcat ting in every section where there is the slightest chance of striking oils From this source we ought to get big increase in producing wells. Then, too, the gov- ernnent's new land leasing law is bring ing many oil prospectors into heretofore undrilled land, and that helps.

LARGELY MERE GOSSIP

1 We've been watching the situation very closely said the manufacturer, "he- ! cause it's a vital matter with us. But | although there is decided difference of l opinion among experts as to the future | gasoline supply. most of them seem tc agree that there will always be plenty of gasoline The price, however, is an other matter. You see. we make motor | cars. and all this scare about a gasoline l famine is a notion which we are very anxious to dispel since our study of the basic facts of the matter shows that it is l largely popular imagination and gossip. "All the oil men seem to be guessing | at our gasoline supply and there are op- l timists and pessimsts among them,
 Henry L. Doherty, perhaps one of the best informed oil men fn the country, was recently quoted as saying that there'll be gasoline for you, your chil- dren and your ci1ildren's children. And
 that's about as far as any of us need go.
 50 far as I can find out the main
 reason for the present situation is mainly
 that the big oil interests laid down on drilling and prospecting for new pro- duction during the war The result is that during the last couple of years there has been no sur plus and all the fuei that has been produced has been used. For this reason it has been impossible to add to the reserve stocks of crude petroleum, althOugh the reserves were depleted durin~ the war period
 CAN NOT BE STORED
 Perhaps you men don't realize it. but gasoline itself cannot be stored in large quantities It is perishable just like ice or products of the farm. It must oe sold at the market price or not at all The refners can't hold back large quan- titles until an advantageous price can be obtained, for the reason that gasoline being very volatile, evaporates rapidly. You can appreciate the loss in gallonage if you will stop and consider the point a moment. A storage tank might have 100,00 gallons in it today and a month later this might have shrunk to 99,000 gal lons Besides this, there is great fire hazard to the storage of large quanti- ties of the stuff. and for that reason city and state regulations as to storage of large amounts are very strict. Taken altogether, it is highly undesirable for the refiners to distill off any more gasoline in a stated period than will be consumed during that time.
 "So the only thing they can do is to store the crude oil itself and then refine 1t as needed. They have to estimate the amount needed for a month. say, and then produce that much gasoline. And whatever amount they produce must be sold, regardless of the market, for after the gasoline is once extracted 1t can not be held indefinitely.
 And like anyone else the oil men mistake the demand for a certain period which accounts primarily, I think. for the fluctuations in price of gasoline If they under estimate the

not make expenses with crude at its normal level of about S2.
 "One thing we are going to do that ought to have good effect is to start a campaign among motor car repair shops and service stations to get them to ad- just carburetors for a nominal fee of 50 cents or s1 If there were some stan dard charge for this, car owners would have their carburetors properly set every month or so, but the way it is now a man hesitates to ask a garageman to adjust the thing, whereas if there were a small charge he would feel free to have it done every so often. I believe this

A good way to prevent oil leaking out of the crankcase through the bolt holes is to back off the studs quarter of an inch or so, and then wind several turns Of cotton twine around the bolts. When you again draw the studs down onto their seats, the leakage vii be ocercome. The string acts as a packing material and is very effective.-Motor Life.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-30

men I've talked to. or whose opinions have read. seem to think that gasoline may get to 36 or 37 cents this year-pos- sibly 40 cents in some localities-but 1t won't go higher than that.
 This seems to be the oil mans worst year, and if they keep crude oil produce tion up to ors in excess of the demand, the price will not exceed these limits. That means about s2O car more year, and tou wouldn't lay up your car for s2c, would you?"
 And now that they've boosted the price to this basis, it isn't likely they will ever let it down again, demand or no de- mand," volunteered the other member of the Smoking Compartment Club, who until now had been merely a listener Why. I've been even reading that before very many years we won't have any. where near enough gasoline to go around
 With a real shortage of gasoline, the price of the stuff will get so high tha only the millionaires will be able to owr ca re f'

demand for several months, for instance there is a temporary shortage, and the
 market price reflects this. If more has
 been produced than there is ready mar
 ket for, then the price goes the other way.
 SHOULDN'T BE ALARMED However people shouldn't get alarmed over the present motor fuel situation Most experienced oil men say it is only temporary, and that within a year or | two, like every other commodity, gaso- | line supply will overtake the demand again.
 There are several reasons to think this
