CHICAGO, March l6.-Red. blue,

oline is in prospect according to DR..
Gustav Egloff, Chicago chemist.
He also predicts that the new
cracking processes for crude pet
roleum will produce variety of
odors in gasoline that will freight
the air with lovely perfumes.
"'Not only should the public get
used to all sorts of colors in gas
oline but to all sorts of odorS as
well. y the doctor suggests.
"Thc modern cracking process is
responsible for these new character
istics but the motor will operate as
well with the yellow as with the
water-whitc, blue, pink or even red
gasoline.
''The potential future gasoline
supply will last for hundreds of years
and it will come from cracking a
wide variety of materials such az
petroleum, coal, tars, shale-o!l and
wood tars.
1.-THE old-fashioned gasoline was
simply evaporated off crude oil and
had no anti-knock properties.
1.-THE modern cracking process is
the way bv which heavy oils are
chemically broken down into lighter
oils having valuable anti-knock
properties. The future gasoline will
be a mixture of the two and will
