ever, are engaged in a desperate race
to keep gasoline production abreast
or the increasing demands made by
the automobile and the airplane. That
the supply has not failed is due to
the efforts both of the oil and auto
motive industries, the one in perfecting
high-compression fuel and superior
grades OF lubricating oil; the other in
improving motor engines that require
less fuel. At the time the automobile
was invented, gasoline was regarded as
waste product. But the internal
combustion engine, finding use for
1t, revolutionized the oil industry and
led 1t from the kerosene lamp days to
the automobile age.
"In 1909, when only 100000 cars
were registered in the United States,
there was enough crude oil on hand
to supply 588 barrels per car. Today
with ten-fold increase in oil pro-
duction, and with $4,000 900 automo-
bile registrations, the available supply
of crude oil is hardly more than 20
barrels to the car.
While formerly barrel of crude
oil yielded only four gallons of gasoline,
scientific methods have increased that
yield to % gallons. The automobile
industry, on its part, has developed
engines that are squeezing the last
inch Of mileage out of every gallon.
Without the aid of science and i'm
proved distribution facilities, the supply
of gasoline would long ngo have been
inadequate even for the needs of the
motor vehicle. With the airplane TAX
ing its place in the transportation
scheme, the oil industry has a new
problem to face, but Is meeting the
challenge as recklessly as if the natural
supply Of oil would last indefinitely"

ACCESSORY BUSINESS
SETS new RECORDS
Association Announces Most Pros
porous Year in History of
Auto Industry.

The automotive parts and accessory
business is enjoying the greatest fourth
quarter the industry has ever had and
will close 1928 with the new high rec
ords in production and sales, according
to the Motor and Accessory Manufac-
turers' Association.
In October suppliers of original equip
ment of the motor vehicle makers and
replacement parts and garage equip
ment to the trade did virtually the
same heavy volume of business that they
had in September, and during the first
half of this month maintained opera
tions only a little below the october
level.
The grand index of shipments to the
car and truck manufacturers and the
wholesale trade by large and repre-
sentative group of M. e. A. M. A. men,
bers in October was 1873 per cent of the
January, 1925, figure, compared with
202 per cent in September, 212 per cent
in August and 129 per cent in october
year ago. Since last March, when
the index for all divisions first reached,
200 per cent, operations have not de-
clined below an index figure Of 1877
per cent for any month.
Business of original equipment max
ers in October was 200 per cent Of
January, 1928, as compared with 218
per cent in September, 230 per cent In
August and 124 per cent In october
year ago. In only the first two months
of this year has the index of this group
been below 200.
October shipments to the wholesale
trade last month by manufacturers of
service parts were at an index of 1874
as compared with 185 in September,
176 in August and 174 in October a
year ago. The September figure was
the highest on record for the service
parts manufacturers.
Shipments of makers of service equip
ment, that is. garage machinery and
tools, last month exceeded September,
the index standing at 141 as compared
with lao in September and 120 in Oc-
tober year ago.

LOUIS MEYER is NAMED
A. A. A. SPEED CHAMPION
Keech Rated Second and Moore
Third in Points for Speed
way Awards.

Louis Meyer, a virtually unknown rae
ing driver until he won the Indianapolis
classic in May, has jumped into ma
tional prominence by winning the
American Automobile Association speed
way championship for 1928.
This statement was issued by the
Contest Board of the A. A. A., on the
basis of total awards in the major events
run under the sanction of the ma
tional motoring body, which supervises
and regulates official racing in the
United States.
At the same time the A. A. A. on
nounced that Ray Keech of Philadel-
phia, who captured the world speed rec
ord from Capt Malcolm Campbell at
Daytona Beach, won second place on the
championship list, and Lou Moore, who
placed second at indianapolis, was third
Meyer accumulated 1896 champion
ship points for the year, while Keech
won 915 and Moore 406.
The A. A. A. Contest Board pointed
out that in winning the 1928 champion
ship Louis Meyer takes the speedway
crown from the head of Peter De Paolo
who won 1t both in 1925 and 1927.
A product of the Pacific Coast dirt
tracks, Meyer won the acclaim of speed
way fans at Indianapolis when he drove
the entire distance of 500 miles without
relief. He was also successful in win
ming the Altoona event on August 19
and annexing second place at Salem,
| N. H, on July 4.

LABOR TAKES MOST
OF HIGHWAY COSTS
Expense of Constructing
Mile of Paving In Iowa
Averages $26,184.

Where does money 60 when It IS
spent, has been a query on the tip of
tongues since the invention of money
some 5000 years ago, according to z. L.
Duffy, highway educational writer.
In the case of roads, however, the
Iowa State Highway Commission has
prepared an Illuminating answer. All
things considered. labor receives o
trifle more than half of the construc-
ton cost of mile of pavement The
cost of stone aggregate, cement, re-
inforcing steel, freight and other con-
struction costs account for the remain
der of the charge.
In Iowa the construction cost Of q
mile of pavement has averaged $26, ,184.
Of this amount 50 per cent, or S13,705
Costs Distributed.
Costs for mile of highway are dis
tributed as follows: Stone, aggregate.
$3,441; cement, $5,856; reinforcing steel,
$3.50; freight, $500; grading, $4,000.
miscellaneous contractors costs, includ-
ing profits, $8,517.
From these items labor receives the
following amounts: Stone. aggregate
81 .032; cement, So, ll6; reinforcing steer,
$255; freight, $2,448; grading, $1,500;
and the labor portion of miscellaneous
contractors costs, $685..
Like Flow Of Blood.
From these studies it is apparent that
the circulation of money is not unlike
the circulation of blood. Eventually 1t
gets back to the starting point. The
general citizenry of Iowa, for instance.
through the recently passed $100,000,000
bond issue, will pay for the construction
Of some 3,400 additional miles Of paving
This program will mean that Iowa labor
alone will be benefited by more than
$50, 100000.
With this considerable pavement
mileage, reducing car operating costs of
Iowa motorists to a point where the
bond issue charges will be more than
compensated for, 1t Is obvious that bond
issues and improved road programs are
decidedly good business. Some students
of economics point out that this very
progreSsiveness of State and local gov
ernments and the resultant wide dis
tribution Of funds has in no small par,
accounted for current prosperity.

Says Oil Industry Deserves Better
Treatment From American Public

The oil industry, If only for what it
has done for the automobile, in the
belief of H. H. Brooks, general sales
director in the automobile industry,
deserves better treatment from the
public than it has received.
If the United States leads all other
nations in automobile production and
registration, he pointed out it is large
1y because of our control of the worlds
largest natural oil supply. However,
even this supply would be inadequate
for the needs of Americas motorists,
were 1t not for the efficiency methods
introduced by the big oil companies,
he added.
Gasoline is still our cheapest motor
fuel" Mr.. Brooks states, and it is
cheaper in America than in Europe.
While the retail price here is around
18 cents, it is 81 cents in Antwerp and
Copenhagen; % cents in Berlin; 80
cents in Paris and Brussels, and AZ
cents in Madrid and Belgrade. Case
line comes to 70 cents a gallon in
Bogota, Colombia; in Guatemala City
and Teheran, Persia, and in Europe it
is cheapest in KoVno, I4ithuania and In
Stockholm, where the motorist pays IS
cents.
In no other country are filling
stations so convenient ane so well
equipped. Our motor tourists, ac-
customed to finding such a station
never more than a few miles from the
most isolated spot, perhaps do not ap-
preciate the service as they fill their
/ tanks with gas, their tires with air
and their radiators with water, and
drive out Of the station without further
trouble.
. Americas 9O,00O-mile system of
/ buried railroads. or subterranean
rivers of oil, are largely responsible for
holding down retail gasoline prices and
making possible a new leisure for the
enjoyment of sports and the pursuit of
culture. Without this transcontinental
system of pipe lines, carrying crude oil
from the wells of Texas, Oklahoma
+ Wyoming and California to refineries
on the Pacific Coast, the Gulf of
Mexico and the Atlantic seaboard for
shipment both to inland cities and to
European ports, the world at large
would be unable to enjoy the benefits
of cheap fuel. Such organizations as
] the Sinclair and Standard Oil COM
panies maintain thousands of miles of

doorman, then on duty, observing his
colleagues approach, and being some
thing of wag, quickly whispered to
several of the people standing nearest
him. "Quickl Look! Here comes Bill

deny who he is, but don't let him fool
you" Then the fun began. To make
the incident more amusing, the real"
Mr.. Borah did arrive just about this
time, and he passed into the hotel COM
pletely unnoticed.
Whenever a real" celebrity arrives
In Washington there are always detailed
a certain number or policemen to
smooth their way through traffic and
to keep back the crowds of the curious.
Probably the most notable example of
this was when our own beloved "Lindy"
landed here on his way back from
Europe. after his epochal nonstop
fight to Paris. Practically every po-
liceman in Washington was on duty
and many soldiers as well, but many
times the traffic and the crowds got
out of hand in spite of their combined
efforts. The traffic officers were to be
envied by all that day. Space on bal
comics, roofs, windows. and even door
ways, was being auctioned off to the
highest bidder. But, of course, the po-
ncemen directing traffic and engaged
in holding the crowds back held
place of perfect vantage for the pur-
pose of viewing "Lindy" at close range.
In this manner traffic policeman
rarely fails to get a perfect oppor-
tunity for q closeup view Of famous
visitors.

Member of Metropolitan Police Force.

To a person interested in people and
things traffic policeman's work
holds forth many desirable aspects.
Probably no other city in the world
equals Washington as a Mecca" for
tourists. From all over the world they
come, as well as the entire United
Nates.
u A celebrity visiting these shores al
fways includes the National Capital in
his or her itinerary. Kings and queens,
famous stars of stage and screen, the
latest tranSoceanic aviator, mighty
statesmen, triumphant politicians, etc,
come and go in a never-ending process
sion. The faces of the worlds great
and near-great are familiar to Wash
ington policemen from actual observa-
tion at close range. Tourists often come
from far points just to view the people
and things who have become by sight
commonplace to the citizens of Wash
ington. Strangers to this city are often
easily recognized as such by the eager
ness which they manifest in peering
into every passing car, or as they turn
to follow some distinctive figure with
their ewes.

tools and service equipment specified by the

Whether you now drive an Oldsmobile or

facilities. See the new Oldsmobile. Check its
