Maxwell-Chalners engineers are distinctly pleased with the endorse ment that has been given the prin- ciple of pre-heating motor fuel by the United States Bureau of Standards and the Society of Automotive En- ssineers.
 szs.., Chalmers device for pre-heat- ing the fuel at the intake port, was iricorporated in the Chalmers motor three years ago, and more than a year ago it was made part of the Maxwell.
 Recently the United States Bureau of Standards conducted tests of gaso- line with a view of aScertafning how pre-heating the fuel affected the effi- ciency of present day gasoline.
 In its lengthy report, this govern ment endorses the pre-heating pEin- ciple by saying:
 Advantages Show.
 ''The rate at which the engine will accelerate with a given mixture ratio or carburetor setting, is markedly af- fected by the amount of heat supplied and it's method of application. Within the limits of this work, the greater the amount of heat supplies to %the charge, and the higher the tempera- ture at the intake port the more rapidly the engine would accelerate. This greater ease of accelerat1on according to authorities means better motor performance and greatly les sened fuel consumption.

Casolene Stocks
 ToShow Increase

The report of refinery statistics compiled by H. F. Mason of the Bu- reau of Mines for the month of Oc-4 tober, 1920, shows that during October the refineries of the United States manufactured approximately 466,o ,o0o,-
 900 gallons of gasolene, the largest
 monthly output on record. It is i'm
 portant to note that while the monthly
 output was the largest on record, the
 daily average for October of 15,025,- 900 gallons, was approximately 1OO,- 900 gallons less than for September, 1920.
 On October 31, 1920, the gasolene in storage at the refineries was 13,- 0O0,0O0 gallons more than on Septem- Der 30, 1920, which indicates that the usual low point in gasolene stocks occurring each fall has been reached, | and that during the succeeding win | ter, when climatic conditions curtail l the use of gasolene consuming vehi- c1es, the refineries will have a chance | to replenish their stocks. Therefore,
 we may expect increased refinery winter months. In both 1913 and 1919, the low point in gasolene stocks | was reached on October 31, while in 1917 it was on September 30, the
 same as of this year.
 Report for October indicates that 332 refineries were operating with 6 | daily capacity of 1,6S6,94 barrels o1 | crude oil. This is an increase of eight | redneries and 12,00O barrels daily ca pacity over the report for September | Compared with October, 1919, it is ar | increase of forty-two plants and 349,-
 900 barrels daily capacity.
