SAYS NEW ETHYL
/. GASOLINE AID TO
HIGH SPEED MOTOR
Fills Need for Increasing
Automobile Fuel
Economies.

G. f. Kettering, head of the Cen
eral Motors. Research Laboratories.
has given vivid explanation of Ethyl
Gas, the new General Motors fuel dis
tributed by the Gulf Refining Com
pany, which is creating so great an in
terest among motorists in this locality.
"The amount of heat energy"
states Mr.. Kettering, obtained by
burning gallon of gasoline is equiva-
lent 10 the work done in raising the
enormous weight of 90, 350, 900 pounds
-46.765 tons or 1000 car loads of
coal-a vertical distance of one foot.
Expressed in another way, it is equiv
alent to the work done in eleyating
Chevrolet touring car ten miles verti-
cally in the air or in propelling it a
distance Of $50 miles along a level,
paved road at. twenty miles an hour.
"Today the American motorist
drives into a convenient filling station
and for less than % cents buys n
gallon of this liquid that contains
such an enormous amount of pent-up
with most automobiles he spreads n
only 10 to % miles and sometimes
lccc. DO VI ldCt, tut
present-day automobile converts into
available power on the road less than
five per cent of the energy stored up
in the gasoline it consumes.
Certainly with this startling fact
before him, any man would agree that
there is a great need for increasing
automobile fuel economies in some
way.
"The realization of this highly de-
sirable and increasingly important OBJ
jective means only the utilization OF
a little more of the fuel energy, q
very small portion of which is now
useful for propelling the au-
tomobile. The most outstanding OBJ
stacle in the way of making this more
automobile is the trouble
some 'pinking" or knocking in the
engine that evidences itself when the
driver accelerates the mo-
tor too quickly or when the car is la
boring on hills on high gear. This
knock is merely an audible sign of
the great trouble that confronts auto
mobile engineers in building more
engine because with present
fuels this knock becomes violent at
higher engine compression. So vio-
lent, in fact, that engines of very high
cannot be run at all on
the ordinary, gasoline. This is unfor-
tunate because a high compression en-

TESTS SHOW BALLOON
FIRES ARE MAKING
DRIVING EASIER
'riuer Not Compelled to
Focus Attention on
Road as Much.

1t seems like a rather far cry from
le study of psychology to automo-
lie tires, and yet the latest develop
ent in the tire industry-balloons
rs brought about some interesting
cts IN this connection, says Carroll
asset, distributor of Miller tires.
After countless tests had been
ade to ascertain what might be cx-
ected from balloon tires under any
I'D all conditions, the fact developed
bat the driver of car equipped with
illoon tires is not compelled to keep
s attention focused on the. road as
UGH as with high air pressure tires.
Fhen this fact was first discovered
was somewhat discounted because
the fact that most of the cars
ere being used for test purposes and
lerefore it was natural that the
river would pay greater attention to
le kind of driving necessary for the
fsts than he would TO the task OF
|eeping in the middle of the road.
Subsequent tests were made. how
Fer, by Miller balloon tire experts.
D cars driven by private owners, all
which proved that the driver with
Ut exception, was not compelled to
by such strict attention to the driv-
be-. In other words, the matter of
|eeping the car in the road and out
I danger is governed largely now
y the sub-conscious mind. as is the
Use with gear shifting and other me
|lanical actions in driving.
IL is natural consequence of the
|hlloon tire inasmuch as rough spots

bottoms are absorbed without ex-

DELIVERIES OF NEW
DODGE BROTHERS CAR
BREAKING RECORDS
Retail Deliveries for First
Two Weeks in March,
5000 Cars.

Since December 1, Dodge Brothers
dealers have consistently broken all
previous records for delivery of cars
to customers. Materially increased
factory capacity and an unusual de-
mand for their new line of cars has
made this performance possible. ac-
cording to the Wroten-Hundley Motor
Company. -
In December, January and February
retail deliveries to customers were rs
per cent in excess of any similar quar-
ter in the history of the business. Fol
lowing this, retail deliveries for the
first two weeks in March have been
over 1000 each week, which is the first
time this figure has been reached so
early In the year. Each weeks de-
liveries established a new high record.
Factory production in December,
January and February totaled 54,521,
20 per cent greater than the same
months Of last year, which was Dodge
Brothers peak for these months. Daily
production in March is averaging vir-
tually 300 cars per day.
Dodge Brothers are able to compile
accurate sales information because of
the cooperation of their dealers
throughout the entire United States
and Canada who send in a weekly 70,
port of all retail deliveries made to
customers. Through these reports
they have an accurate, detailed record
of exact conditions existing in each
sales territory. Their calculations are
based upon the number of cars actual
ly consumed by the public, as they be-
lieve this to be the only true indica-
ton Of sales conditions.
The constantly climbing delivery
records coupled with increasing pro.
duction, lead Dodge Brothers to be-
lieve that the first six months of 1924
will total by far the greatest six
months in the history of their bust
ness,

DEMAND CLOSED CARS
Hupm0biIe Schedules For 1924 Can
For Large Closed Car Output.

The consistently larger public de-
mand for enclosed models is strik-
ingly illustrated in production figures
of the Hupp Motor Car Corporation,
according to the Burton-Lary Motors
company.
Hupmobile schedules for 1924 call
for more than so per cent closed car
output, compared with % per cent
in 1923.
Hupmobile closed car production for
the first three months of 1923 was
80 per cent, with the recently an
nounced club sedan and standard
sedan as leaders.
