GULF GASOLINE
MADE BETTER

The Gulf Refining Company is
announcing a new gasoline. 400
degree Fahrenheit, end point,
anti-knock quality. at no extra
cost.
One of the local officials Of
this company explains the end
point of gasoline in a very simple
and convincing manner. He says:
That ordinary gasolineS have an
end point of 437 degrees Fahren-
heit, that such gasolines do not
vaporize quickly enough to allow
perfect and complete combustion,
consequently there are some wet
ends or raw gasoline left in the
combustion chamber which must
find a way out. This raw gasoline
passes down the cylinder walls,
taking with it more or less of the
film from the sides of cylinders
and piStonS dropping into the
crankcaSe, dilutes or thinS down
the lubricating oil which reduces
it's lubricating value.
Every motorist knows the
value of anti-knock gasoline.
Stopping the knocks on hills and
in traffic does away with re-
tarded spark, the motor func-
tions with greater efficiency.
generates maximum power and
gives added mileage"

725 CAR TYPES
AVAILABLE

That there now are more than
725 different body styles among
today's motor cars, q greater num-
ber than when there were four
times as many manufacturers, is
convincing evidence that the
buyers desire for distinctiveness
never was more acute. This opin-
ion is expressed by Oscar Cooli-
can, who declares that there Is
nothing on the horizon at the
moment that would indicate an
abatement Of the trend toward
meeting every buying taste by
providing a wider array Of special
models and body styles.
Among the most interesting Of
the special car types offered to-
day." say Coolican, ARE those
which might be claSsed as falling
into the speedster or super-Sport
category. Among the makers Of
Americas finer cars the develop
ment of this type Of product has
not reached its limit. There Is a
demand for cars beyond even the
ordinary custom models in some
cases and the manufacturer must
satisfy It,"
Such cars, Coolican points out,
differ from the delux or custom
lines in that, in addition to spe-
cial bodies, they have special en-
gineering features which contri-
butte to a higher degree Of per
formance.

STATION
DEDICATED

WaShington'S newest and one
of the finest gasoline service sta
tions in the city today was for
mally opened at Thirteenth and
K SITS. N. w.
The new station, known as the
Automobile Public Service Corpo-
ration, was formally dedicated by
Miss Hazel Reynolds, Of Bethesda,
who unveiled a tablet which is
on the front of the building:
This station is dedicated to the
service of women motorists"
Edison H. Baker is president of
the Automobile Public Service
Corporation, and the new station
will be under the management Of
Robert L. Royal.
One of the novel features of
this modern service station is the
gasoline dispensing pumps, which
are electrically driven and will
accurately discharge 18 to 20
gallons to car per minute.
Fourteen of these pumps with ma
tionally known gasoline emblemS
have been installed so as to give
all motorists their choice of
brands.

FISK OWNS 400
j. S..PATENTS

So many patents are held bv
the Fisk Rubber Company that
1t is necessary for them to op-
crate a special department to
follow up the company's develop
ment work and protect its MANY
inventions. The company today
has pending before the United
States Patent Office more than
$50 patent applications for its
inventions and even now owns
more than 400 United States
patents.
It is obviously impossible to
enumerate the various patents
the company holds. Suffice to
say that most of them relate to
improvements in factory methods
and machinery which have made
possible uniform high quality at
reasonable price. Most of these
patents have followed research
and development by men of
more than ordinary skill and re-
fleet the company'S progressive
attitude and systematic program
Of development and expansion.

Pocket Gopher Control

The season for the effective
control of the pocket gopher with
the minimum expenditure of time
and material is during October and
early November. Control at this
time consists mainly in the use OF
poison bats placed directly in the
main runway used by the pocket
gopher. Location of the runway
and proper distribution of the
bats is the thing which the oper-
ator must learn from first-hand
experience and observation.
Because of several complaints
having come to the county agent
from the communities we have felt
that there might he need for
demonstration meetings again this
year for the control of this pest.
Meetings will not be held, how
ever, unless there is enough inter
est in the problem to secure at
tendance at these meetings which
will be conducted by representa-
tive of the Bureau of Biological
Survey, who will be brought into
the county for this particular pur-
pose.
Those having problems of pocket
gopher control and wishing a
meeting in their community should
talk the matter up with neighbors
and then take the matter up with
the county agent. We hesitate 70
ask these men to come to the coun-
ty for such meetings unless there
is enough interest to bring at
least a reasonable number at the
meetings. These men have had cor
siderable experience with contrct
measures and also will have he
latest information as to met.i .ds
and these methods should be very
much worth while for any COM
munity having much of a pocket
gopher problem.

SOIL FERTILITY AND
FERTILIZATION PROBLEMS

Many requests are coming to the
county agents office for informa-
ton on various problems of crop
fertilization and fertilizers will do
much to enable the farmer to pur-
chase his fertilizers in such way
that he can maintain the high
yields essential to successful pro-
sduction at cost which he can
easily bear.
In the first place let US say that
practically all crops, except the
legumes, including alfalfa, sweet
clover and vetches, nitrates are
the first fertilizer elements need
ed. Almost any of the crops with
the exception of the legumes will
show increased yields from the use
of the proper amount of nitrates.
The form in which the. nitrates will
be applied will weary. If one has
plenty of manure one may be able
to maintain nitrate supply through
this source. For some of our crops
such as tree fruits, nitrate supply
may be maintained through the use
of leguminous cover crops, altho
there is a question whether this
can be done by the use of alfalfa
alone. Results in the upper .Yaki-
ma Valley with orchard crops have
shown very beneficial results from
the application of the nitrate whe e
alfalfa has been used as GOV II
crop over long periods of time
This is probably due to the diff
Guilty of working the alfalfa ops

the nitrates may not he lost. The
roots probably furnish little nitro,

Of France, as reward, made him an

Little Journeys in

City Founded on Slaughter

City Founded on Slaughter
MEN wore their religions with Sc

It is difficult to comprehend that when
st, Augustine was founded the Span
lsh inquisition was just rising into the
fullness of its power. Men murdered
their brothers then, with prayers on
their lips, that their own souls might
find repose.
Thus it came about that st. Angus
tine, oldest city in the United States,
was founded on slaughter. Philip II,
king of Spain, learned in 1865 that a
party Of Huguenots under Rene de
Laudoniere, had established a settle
ment in Florida not far from the
mouth of the st. Johns river. The
Huguenots were Protestant and
French. Two reasons for hating
them.
Calling Menendez, deyout church.
man and officer of the navy before
him, King Philip II commissioned him
to sail to Florida and scourge the
French settlers from the land. Men
endez sailed.
When he arrived he found there a
force of about four hundred fifty
Huguenots busy with their defenses.
Menendez in battle array, commanded
them to surrender. Realizing that they
we're helpless in the face of the supe-
rior Spanish force, they asked his
terms. Would they be safe? Would
tlleir lives he spared?

the idea be meant to convey. "As God
would treat you" he repeated. That
apparently was fair enough. One
hundred and fifty of them surren-
dered, laid down their arms.
Menendez tied their hands behind
their backs. Then he lined them up
in row. That done he made sec
ond speech, It's substance was this:
''If God had you as have got you,
he'd shoot you ALL"
So he ordered them shot, and IT,.
