Army Planes Are
Still on Search
For Lost Airnen

Phoenix, Arizona, Dec. 13.-Search
for Colonel Francis C. Marshall and
Lieutenant C. L. Weber, lost avia-
tors, today was assuming the prep
arations Of long campaign involv-
ing mathodical combing of the
desert and mountain territory OF
southern Arizona and northern Mex
leo by land and air forces operating
from established bases.
During the past five days search
for the aviators, who disappeared
last Thursday en- route from San
Diego, CAL, to Tucson, Arizona, had
speed as its ruling motive.
With the growing probability that
the aviators by this time either have
reached position of temporary safe
ty or are beyond help, the need Of
speed is less urgent and systematic
survey of the entire territory ap-
pears to be the purpose of the Off
GERS in command.

FOUND THE REMNANTS

The Ford which was stolen at an
early hour Monday morning from the
garage of C. w. Newman, SIS North
Sixth street, was found by the sher-
ifs forces near Francis, about six
miles from Palatka, stripped of ev-
erything that could be taken from
the car-even to the windshield 1t
was left total wreck, but was
brought back to the city.
The thieves towed the car far
enough from the home of the owner
to make things safe, then drove to
the country, stripped it, and returned
to Palatka with their plumber. The
car was not insured against theft,
but carried casualty insurance. Mr..
Newman has been unfortunate in his
auto experience, as only few weeks
ago it cost him some three hundred
dollars to settle damage bill incur
red by collision-and now he will
have to secure a new car at his own
expense.

Gasoline Plenty
If the Producers
Are Not Hoggish

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE alarm
shown by the decreasing oil supply,
with the consumption of gasoline on

use of the internal combustion en-
CINE, would be needless were REIN
ers receptive to evolutionary meth
DDS of distillation, asserts T. H.
Manning, of the Industrial Research
Laboratories, in discussing the mo-
tor fuel of the future.
! A simple single operation convert
ing all crude oil, except q very
small portion, into a high grade
motor fuel, outranking the present
products. is advocated by Mr..
Manning.
"ThIs can be Accomplished" he
said, "by single distillate from the
crude to the refined without he de-
tail incurred by redistilling, refining
and reprocessing as now practiced
by the refiners. This, of course, will
require disregard for the lesser
distillates, which would allay the
alarm felt by many at the dimin-
ishing oil supply.
'The oilf ind,ljtry has outgrown
it's present methods of production
and hhemhtall research' has show@
that all the agitation concerning the
decreasing oil resources is weak
and unfounded."
