STOCKS OF CRUDE OIL
CHEVROLET MAKES
BIC GAIN ON COAST

Bert o. Brown, Chevrolet distribu-
tor, points with pride to the record
OF the Chevrolet in sales in the Los
Angeles territory. Brown has Just
received advices from Los Angeles
showing that Chevrolet is running
far ahead of its nearest rival in
point of sales for April, 1922, as COM
pared with April, 1921. and that at
a time when all the automobiles on
the Los Angeles market showed an
average increase of 35 per cent in
sales. the Chevrolet stands practical
ly alone with gain of 290 per cent.
That the lead was substantial
one, and the increased sales remark
able in number. is shown by the re-
port of the Los Angeles Chevrolet
Dealers association, received by
Brown. which says that 63T new
Chevrolet cars were sold In April
this year.
This enormous gain was made
over cars OF all makes and prices"
says Brown. "0ne type of six-cylin-
der car. with a great following the
nation over, showed an increase of
only 1873 per cent. Another, equally
as well and favorably known, sold at
the gaining rate of 125 per cent. A
popular four cylinder could only do
62 per cent.
"A greater surprise is in store in
these figures however, for they show
that one make of car, considered by
many to be the greatest seller on
the automobile market, not only fell
away below the Chevrolet record.
but dropped 81 per cent in sales. 1t
was the only car to show a decrease
In volume.
The association is looking forward
to a greater demand for the Chevrolet
than ever before due to the wonder
full record which this car made in
the recent Los Angeles osemite
economy run. The Chevrolet used
only IL gallons of gasoline in making
the trip, giving 1t an average of 80
miles to the gallon. This record was
equaled by only one car, and that car
was in a higher classification than
the Chevrolet"

WICHITA FALLS. Tex, June 10
(Specia)-Here's the inside story of
what's back of the jump in gasoline
prices. according to veteran oil pro-
ducers:
Various refining companies "got
stuck" with a lot Of crude oil which
they bought at high prices before
the market broke.
For instance, Pennsylvania crude
oil now sells for 1925 a barrel at the
wells. The war-high peak was s6.10
a barrel. Prices Of oil produced in
other fileds have, in a rough way,
dropped correspondingly, for Penn
sylvania crude is the oil industry's s
price barometer.
A lot of this oil. bought at $6.10 a
barrel is still in storage. IL mas de-
preciated in value $2.S5 barrel.
To cover such losses, most OF the
big companies have written OH
large sums intheir inventories.
Now, by jacking up the price OF
gasoline. they are trying to recoup
their losses to some extent.
When gasoline began advancing IN
price, oil producers began expecting
a rise in the price paid them Tor
crude oil. Veterans in the industry
now are less hopeful OF getting an
increase for their oil runs.
Stocks Of gasoline on April cat
est reported by Bureau OF Mines)
totaled 854,231,655 galoons. This was

Lots OF Gasoline
Lost Because OF
Bad Condensation

Over 170,000,000 gallons of gasoline
are lost every year through faulty
systems OF condensation, according to
D. B. Dow, petroleum engineer of the
United States bureau of mines. Dow s
report, made recently, states that
detailed investigation into the meth
DDS in use for the precipitation of
gasoline are responsible for exceed
ingly high vaporization.
The bureau in it's report finds that
the most important agent in the re-
covery of vaporized gasoline is cold
water. The vapors are caught and
conducted through coils of pipes inn
mersed in cold water. In the hot dry
sections of the country where oil
production is heavy. such as in
Northern Texas, Oklahoma and Lou
isiana, 1t is very difficult to cool the
water sufficiently to get the proper
results, the report declares.
Few refiners, Dow declares, realize
the magnitude of the loss, yet in 13
plants experimental upon a totai u.
128,651 gallons of gasoline was saved
each day by this new process.
Atmospheric pressure: says the re-
port, has great deal to do with the
amount of gas saved from uncon-
densed refinery vapors, production
dropping considerably during the
winter.

survey of the Mobile Cooperative
Gasoline company made by Lynn M.
shaw. assistant general manager OF
tba National Automobile Dealers as

association.
The Mobile Cooperative Gasoline
company was organized to supply
high grade gasoline at minimum
prices to motor vehicle users. Inc
primary purpose was in the lnteres.
of owners of fleets Of commercial
vehicles.
It was capitalized at $4,000. The
stock was in shares of $50 each. Most
of it was sold to the fleet owners.
THE balance of it was offered to ana
bought by members of the automo-
bile club.
Two filling stations (curb pump
tvpes1 were first established. Gas
oline was purchased in quantity. All
Stockholders were expected to buy
from the cooperative stations. The
stations were to sell to any other
persons who desired to buy. The
n1antitv purchase of gasoline made
possible the retailing OF gasoline at
a price a few cents less than at
which the gasoline was offered by the
larger companies.
Two more stations were added.
The four are now operated by girls.
The gasoline is purchased in enor-
NOUS quantities. The Coop. owns
and uses four large storage tanks.
1t is buying gasoline at IL cents
and selling it for Fl cents gallon.
This price is two, three and five
cents lower than gasoline can be
bought in cities within 100 miles or
Mobile. The price of gasoline at the
filling stations conducted by the
oil companies is the same as that at
the Coop stations and therefore sew
eral cents less than the prices at
which those same companies are SELL
ing gasoline elsewhere in Alabama
and other states.
The girls who operate the Coop.
stations are "hard- boiled" so that
mashers and kidders get nowhere.
These girls act like they own the sta
tions. They must pay out OF their
pockets for the amount of gasoline
unaccounted for. in cash or in the
tank. They give a courteous and
snappy attention and service that is
noticeably different from the ordi-
nary type of gasoline station service.
MANY women are driving motor
cars. Women are natural economists.
They seem, in Mobile. to keenly ap-
preciate that the Coop stations are
the reason for low price gasoline.
And they seem also to like the at
tendance of girls at the stations.

Maine Made Increase
Of Seals and Health Bonds

Although the Unitei States as a
whole has reported a decrease of an
proximately 1890 in the Christmas
seal and Health Bond Sale of 1921.
the state OF Maine made an increase
of slightly more than $3.50 according
to report presented yesterday at a
meeting Of the executive committee of
the Maine Public Health association
by Walter D. Thurber, the executive
secretary.
Every county in Maine except
Franklin and Lincoln and possibly
Sagad1hoc shows an increase.
Penobscot county with a per capita
sale Of seven cents leads the entire
State on average sales. The total
amount raised in Penobsc6t county
was $5,SS5.79 as compared with So
13S.4S in 1920.
York and Aroostook counties lead
the State in percentage of increase
over the previous year-both coun-
ties more than doubling the returns
in 1920.
Reports from Cumberland county
while not complete-indcate that
records for all previous years were
broken.
The total sale in the State was
s29.7G4.62 as compared with $685.
i0S.11 in 1920. More than half of the
funds thus raised remains in COM
munities where the seals were sold, to
be used in local health work. The bal
ance-with the exception of about
400 which is used in national work
against tuberculosis-will be used by
the Maine Public Health association
in helping to develop the Health Plan
for Maine. 1t is estimated that near
~ 5000 of the leading men and wom-
en- in the State helped Maine eclipse
its record for the previous year.
