bers of his geological party who bad
accompanied the supporting party for
two days on the trail, returned last.
night to the base. With him came
Norman Vaughan, Eddie Goodale. Jack
o5rien and Mike Thorne, who had
dropped their loads where they can BE-
picked up later and returned with light
sledges.
Carl Petersen, who had gone out 10

finder for use in connection with the
plane later on, and Joe Rucker, who
made moving pictures Of the TRAN work.
also came back
They had perfect weather during the
three days, but brought back word that
the supporting party was having q
hard time because of the condition OF
the surface. It is in O state Of transi.
ton and has hard crust through
which the sledge runners break to the
granular and sand-like snow beneath
over which traction is very dindcult.
AS a result they will probably travel
slowly for a time until the warmer
weather. 1t was zero yesterday after
noon and has been lowering around
zero all this morning-makes the sur
face softer and hauling easier.
While the dog teams are struggling
over the surface the airplanes are
rapidly being put In condition. The
engine Of the Fairchild was started the
day the teams left and is being run
again this morning for a final tuning.
That plane which was used so MUCK
last year and was In perfect condition
when dug out this year from its snow
hangar Is about ready to take the air
whenever IL Is needed.
But, Of course, with blizzard likely
to blow up at any moment 1t Is not
probable that there will be any flying
yet awhile. The sun smiles here one
moment and an hour later there may be
bowling wind and binding draft. But
1t Is good to hear the sound OF Q motor
again, for it means that the time when
flying Is possible Is rapidly approaching.

sun OIL COMPANY GASOLINE
Local Manager Discusses Rapid De-
veIOpment of Motor Oil

at is interesting to trace" says
Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr., local manager
of the Sun Oil Company, chow
splendidly some few gasoline man
ufacturers have been able to keep
pace with the rapid development of
the modern high compression mo-
tor. "But," continued Mr. Weir,
t'this is far less interesting than a
comparison of the two sharply di-
vided methods of manufacturing
satisfactory fuels for high COM
preston motors. Most motor fuel
engineers found the easiest solu-
ton of the problem was in the ad-
dition of some outside ingredient to
ordinary gasoline. On the other
hand, however, our own engineers
could not agree with the plan of
mixing foreign substances with
gasoline. Instead, they made ex-
haustive studies of the refining of
gasoline and out of these studies
we developed a process of our own
which bring over a motor fuel of
unequalled purity and high knock
less quality" Mr. Weir concludes:
"Thurs by making an absolutely
pure gasoline. and not by adding
outside ingredients, Sun engineers
have successfully developed a mo-
tor fuel extremely high in its
knockless qualities and with a flow
of power that reduces gear shifting
to its minimum either in traffic or
on hills, and even in motors of the
highest compression ratings. To
prevent substitution or imitation
we have tinted this gasoline a pale
blue. One of the most significant
things about this Blue Sunoco is
that while our specialized refining
process has added slightly to its
cost, our policy still makes this
motor fuel available at the regular
gasoline price"

Rules for Auto Examination
William Ball, in charge of the
titling department Of the Secretary
Of States Office has just announced
the rules for the examination of ap-
plicants for motor licenses. which
will be enforced by examining Of
ficers in every station where appli-
cants are examined. In connection
with the eye test, Mr.. Ball consult
ed experts on eye faults before
reaching a standard applicants for
drivers licenses must pass. If an
applicant fails in the eye test, he
cannot take another examination on
the same date. If he fails the sec
ond time, he will be advised to have
his eyes examined. The applicant
is given twenty questions to an
swer, and If he fails to answer fif-
teen Of them correctly he viii have
to take a second examination later.
Concerning the driving test, the ap-
plicant must furnish a vehicle for
it. The examining officers viii see
that the car has a rear view mirror,
good brakes, good lights. both head
lights and rear lights, Windshield
wiper, with the steering mechanism
in good condition and tags cleaned
and properly affixed. In case the
car does not meet these require
ments the, defects must be rem
edied before the test can be taken.
If the applicant fails to pass the
driving test, he cannot have a sec
ond examination until a week has
elapsed. In case he fails to pass
the second trial, he cannot take an
other examination until two week 5
have elapsed. Should he fail the
third time, the examining officer
will use his own Judgment as re-
CARDS to future trials. But this
could not take place in less than
twoe weeks from the date of the
third trial.
