US. Bureau of Mines
Finds Way to Increase
Gasoline Consumption

Possibility of increasing the output
of gasoline by 120.00o.000 gallons
through more complete condensation
Of still vapors at the petroleum re-
fineries was suggested recently by the
U. s bureau of mines after an in
vestigation by d. B. Dow, the bu-
reau's petroleum engineer.
IIr Dow estimated that 50.0oO,0o
gallons were recovered from uncon-
densed still vapors at refneries in
1921.
Application OF the system to all
retneries would give possible gaso-
lire recovery By this method OF 1.0.-
100000 gallons yearly the bureau
said In statement.
THE calculations of the bureau OF
mines are based on results obtained
in refneries whose general methods
are mere efficient than those EN-.
ployed In the hundreds OF smaller
skiinming plants that have no rscoy-
cry systems. II Is assumed that In
the less efficient skimming plants. To-
Gated in sections where the supply
of cold water. so essential for con.
denser use, Is scarce. greater recov-
cries could be made than in the large
refineries studied. This should be
especially true OF Oklahoma. north
Texas and Louisiana skimming
plants. where summer temperatures
are high and where cold water is
scarce. A survey Of these plants. II
is believed. would show that their
losses In uncondensed still vapors
would be much higher than In the
plants where the studies of the bu.
reau of mines were conducted.
"The magnitude OF the loss from
nor.condensation OF these vapors has
been realized only by few reaners.
judging by the number OF plants that
have recovery systems. The thirteen
retinerles studied by the bureau OF
mines are obtaining 12s.65f gallons
Of gasoline daily from uncondensed
still vapors. These plants are sIta-
atai in the various refining centers
ether than the Pacific coast and are
running crude representatives OF the
producing fields east Of the Rocky
mountains. In addition several are
running Mexican crude. Information
from California reilnerles indicates

CALL FOR MEETING

The call for a meeting OF the Re

August 3. was issued Monday by
George II. Shaw of Fort Collins,
chairman of the Republican State
Central committee. The assembly

over the state, and Phillips county is
entitled to seven delegates.
Apportlonment OF delegates is
based on rule giving each county
two delegates at large and one ad-
ditlonal delegate for each 200 votes
or fraction thereof cast for Shoup for

that on account OF the smaller gaso-
lime content Of the California crude
there are no recovery plants Of Inn
portance in that state. This average
recovery Of gasoline at the refneries'
Investigated by the bureau Of mines
amounted to four-tenths OF gallon
barrel Of crude oil charged.
"Unless preventive measures are
adopted. losses of gasoline from fall
ure to condense still vapors will In
crease in the future. because crudes
are being handled in the field with
more and more care to avoid evepora-
tlon and will therefore contain much
lighter and more volatile fractions
than at present.
Condensation of the vapors formed
by heating crude oil lis effected In
the refinery by leading vapors
through coils Of pipe submerged in
water. On coolong most of the va
por becomes liouefied, but certain
amount of vapor, due to insufficient
time for proper cooling or the fact
that its condensing point is lower
than the temperature Of the water.
will remain uncondensed. Also GER
tain other fractions will not be con-
densed, for the reason that their iiq-
uefication points are affected by the
presence OF other hydrocarbons. A
small part OF this uncondensed vapor
is dissolved in the liquid that has
condensed.
Condensation of the vapors COM
ing from the still into liquid is ac-
complished either by passing them
through pipes or shells having large
surfaces exposed to the air or through
coils submerged in water.
"Atlnospheris temperature is an
important factor in the production of
gasoline from uncondensed refinery
vapors 1t is found thar during win
ter months, due to- more complete
condensation Of the vapors. the pro
duction of the gas plant will fan
on to some extent An unusual ex-
ample Of this is certain skimming
plant which produces about 5000 gall
Ions day in the winter. Ordinarily
the difference is far less, but there
is always tendency for production
to drop in cooler weather.
"The cost of Installing recovery
plants will necessarily vary, depend
ing on local conditions. such as the
distances between different stills,
which are sources Of gas. the nature
of gas. especially in regard to sui
phur content. and the plant efficiency.
However, cost of approximately SIS
a gallon OF gasoline daily capac:tyj
should be sufficient. The operating
cost of the gas plant is relatively
low"

Los Angeles, Feb. 1S.-The failure
OF Edward F. Sands, missing secre-
tary of William Desmond TAYLOR.
slain film director, to respond to an
offer of immunity from Dist.-Atty.
Woolwine, left the investigation
where it was when it started, that
officials said late today. Mr.. Wool
wine, last night, in answer to a letter
purporting to have been dictated by
Sands, issued a letter to the press
stating Sands would not be prose-
cutcd on an old charge Of embezzle-
ment if he would surrender and tell
what he knew of the Taylor slay-
ing.
The district attorney said that he
had no reason to believe the supposed
Sands letter was genuine, but de-
clared his offer of immunity stood
irrespective Of this consideration.
Police investigators and the district
attorney have insisted from the start
that Sands could furnish the key to
the mystery.
Mabel Normand film actress, one
of the last persons who saw Taylor
before he was shot, moved from her
residence in the Wiltshire district to
an unnamed address today. Friends
said she was seeking secluson to get
some rest. made necessary by the

Official Investigators said Miss
