REPORT ON GASOLINE
BY BUREAU OF MINES
Product Sold During Past Summer
More Valuable Than in 1928,
It Is Stated.

That the gasoline marketed in
Washington, and throughout the
country generally. has been slightly
more volatile during the Summer of
1927 than last year, Is shown in the
sixteenth semi-annua survey con-
Quoted in the National Capital and
nine other centers by the Bureau of
Mines.
The general tendency toward the
marketing of a standardized product.
noted as result of recent motor
gasoline surveys, continues to be
manifested. Until recent years there
has been a distinct difference between
Summer" and Winter" gasoline,
that marketed during the Summer be
ing less volatile than that sold during
the Winter This Summer the differ
ence between Summer" and Win
ter gasoline is shown only in the
lower end of the distillation range
while the upper end is more volatile
than for last Winter.
During the past eight years the
Bureau Of Mines has made semi-an-
nual surveys of the gasoline marketed
in the United States. The cities in
which samples have been collected
have been chosen as representative
of the more important marketing ter
ritories, as it obviously is impracti-
cable to obtain a sample of every
gasoline sold in the entire country.
In addition to this city. the bu-
reau's survey included New York,

what you did in shifting from high 70
second, although you must race the en-
CINE to a still higher degree If you are
to do it without a terrific clash Of gears.
Many car owners think that they can
not get into low unless the car IS
standing still. This simply is because
they do not understand that for al
most any car speed in low gear the
engine must be running relatively
fast.
"Suppose you are not able to get
into low or that you jam the gears
in the process. What Is there to
worry you? There have been many
cases where by jamming the gears
drivers have teen able TO lock the
whole rear mechanism, thereby OBJ
tanning most effective brake
But suppose I am losing control of
the car going downhill backward"
Smith asked.
Then you must remember that your
car has reverse gear" l explained.
You can shift from neutral into re-
verse gear BY the same process / have
described above, but you must be sure
to race the motor while the clutch Is
in and the gear is in neutral just be-
fore making the shift. Even going
down hill backward. in reverse with
the engine serving as the brake YOU
will find that you have considerable
control over the car"
Some of this was purposely exag-
gerated in order to give Smith a new
view of the possibilities in any emer-
gency. The man who gets along best
in a pinch is the one who has knowl-
edge of what to do and the courage
to do it.

If you are sure the speedometer is

If you keep up with today's car your

Tests Suggested
To Fix Accuracy
OF Speedometer

There are several ways to test
the accuracy of the speedometer
of the new car one Is trying out.
One is to note the reading of the
dial when running smartly in sec.
ond gear. Ordinarily the instru-
ment should not register over 2S
miles an hour in second unless the
engine is raced.
Another test is to try stopping
quickly when the speedometer
reads 30 miles an hour. If the car
comes to a halt in a space one con.
siders far too good to be true, the
chances are that the speedometer
is fast. Too great a speed on the
local test hills also indicates an in
accurate speedometer.

Did You Know

That a six-ply tire will not ride as
comfortably as a four-ply? This is
because a six-ply Is constructed more
nearly on the order of a hish-pressure
cord. There is thicker sideWall and
therefore less f1exing action. Such
tires are recommended for those mo-
torists who want sturdier tire as op.
posed to greater comfort.
That one way to check for correct
front-wheel alignment and proper
pitch and toe-in of the front wheels is
to spread two large sheets of oiled
paper on the garage floor and drive
the front wheels over them? II the
wheels are not properly adjusted there
will be tendency for thep to slide

TRUE RIMS SAVE TIRES.
Motorists Should Test Wheel to
Protect Rubber.

Much tire wear is due to the fact
that the rim does not run true. The
remedy ia simple and requires but a
few minutes in most cases. Spin the
wheel slowly. holding a piece Of chalk
SO it will mark the part of the rim
that runs farthest out from the face of
the wheel. Then, loosen the lug nuts
on the side opposite that which Is

Quick Twist Saves
Tires in Turning
Out of Car Tracks

Many motorists, who have learn
ed the valuable lesson that driving
in the street car tracks results in
unnecessary tire wear, still find
themselves indulging in this prac-
tice when trying to get ahead in
the traffic stream. When caught
in such a predicament, there is a
way of coming out with the least
amount of grinding the tires
against the rails. Give the steer
ing wheel a quick twist instead
Of gradually forcing the wheels out
of the track. The same tip applies
when driving in a rut. 1t means
a saving OF tire side-wall wear.

HELPS OIL AT HIGH SPEED.
Lifting Foot From Throttle at In
tervals Creates Suction.

Many cars are in use today that do
not have pressure oiing systems to
provide positive and adequate luhrica
ton to all vital parts at high speeds.
The driver of the car not SO equipped,
however, can compensate in part for
this deficiency. Instead of keeping a
steady foot on the open throttle, he
should lift it every few minutes. This
creates a suction above the piston
which draws lubricant from the crank
case up the cylinder walls.
1t is a good thought to carry along
on the touring trip. when much driv.
