Anti-Knock Quality Aided by More Time
Or Temperature in Cracking Crude Oil

selected crudes and the use of blending
agents are limited by availability and
are therefore not within the ref1ner's
control. Cracking, on the other hand,
is strictly within the refiner's control,
and can be applied to produce the re-
Quired stock.
1.-THE yields Of gasoline, gas and coke
and the properties Of these products
indicate that the main effect of tenn
perature is TO increase the rate of re-
action. That Is. 1t Is t8saible to obtain
very nearly the same results With either
short-tiEne high temperature or long
time low temperature experiments. An
increase Of II degrees Centigrade
halves the time necessary to produce
the same results"

Gasoline of improved anti-knock
quality results from increasing either
time or temperature in cracking crude
oil, even at atmospheric pressure, ac-
cording to conclusions reported to the
American Chemical Society.
The gradual increase in the use Of
high compression pressure motors in
automobiles to obtain more power from
a given engine has necessitated the
development Of fuels having greater
tendency to resist detonation," says the
report. High quality fuels Of this
type are being produced from selected
crudes which are inherently good, by
addition Of benzene or tetraethyl lead.

END OF DEPRESSION 2

While nobody has yet been
able to predict accurately the
exact time at which depression
will begin to end, the fact that
prosperity aud depression are
recurring phenomena is not open
to question.
II statisticians can't forecast &C
curately the time schedule of
the business cycle, we certainly
can identify the conditions which
precede change.
William L. Chenery, editor of
Golfers Weekly, sees many sta
tistical fingers pointing clearly
to the approaching end of de-.
preston. He sums them up as
follows:
TOO high prices always lead
to a depression. Too low prices
always precede a period of pros
perity. Prices now and for
months past have been too low.
That we are at the eve of a re
sumption of business prosperity
is as certain therefore as any
thing in human affairs.
I'VE have other kinds of trou
ble-epidemics of disease, for
example. Infuenza and infan
tile paralysis wreak their havoc.
Where disease is concerned we
apply the scientific method. Our
approach to the epidemic prob
lem is rational.
In contrast we prefer not to
think about depressions, which
are symptoms of economic NAL
adjustment. If, however, we
expended the same kind of scien
tific thought on isolating the
causes of depressions and on
quarantining ourselves against
their spread as we now apply to
problems of public health, we
might quickly learn how to in
sure ourselves against these
tron nbles.
IF experience teaches any
lesson we can be certain that be
fore very long business will be
very active. Once more the
farmer will be getting profitable
prices for his crops. Recon
struction will again characterize
Europe, Germany will have re
vived. South America will have
settled down to work.
The wheel turns up after it
goes down and we shall have
been carried forward"

URGE USE OF ARIZONA MoHAlR

Angora goat raisers of Arizona

that motor cars and furniture
they buy be upholstered in mo.

ment from the Mohair Institute,

"A marked reduction in auto.
mobile and furniture production

cause of the present slow demand
and low prices of fleece, the
statement said. Market sta.

raising industry can hasten q
brisk demand for raw fleece by
insisting on mohair fabrics when

CLAIM NEVADANS ARE MOST
LAW ABIDING

Reno, Nevada. = Nevadans
proudly assert that this last
frontier state" is ono of the most
crime-free in the Union. despite
its gambling and divorce laws
and general liberality.
It may interest the people of
other states who point the finger
of horror and scorn at Nevada, "
said Sam Ranear. chief Inspector
of state police, to know that
crime is practically nil among
bona fide residents of our state.
Less than 10 per cent of the
prison population are citizens of
Nevada.
There are q dozen towns in
Nevada that have no police de
partment. no Jail, no prisoners,
and no need for them"
Justice of the Peace w. T.
King. of Carson City, capital Of
Nevada, said there had been
about 10 robberies in that town
during the past 10 years.
And most of them happened
q long time ago." be added.
"Oh, yes." be said. with a
gesture of sudden recollection,
"a fellow stole q cash register
here last year, took it out in the
saRebrush and got about So 90.
Many towns in Nevada have
no need for any police protection
whatever. Hard-riding sheriffs
and their deputies maintain order
in counties as large as the entire
New England states.
Native Nevadans get into the
tolls of the law over shooting
scrapes more than anything else.
1t is not uncommon for two men
to whip guns from holders under
their arm-pits and start shoot
ing, or to imbibe too freely of
"saRebrush Bourbon" and 90 out
to shoot up the town, wild-west
style.
"Tbe boys get filed up with
this 'jackrabbit whiskey' that
makes q rabbit sit up and spit in
the eye of bulldog" said Chief
of Police Kirkley, and then
they get to shooting among
themselves. But there has never
been an innocent by-stander
killed. It's q lot safer in our

THEN the argument began again. In the
midst of it, Ray moved his arm too sud-

Mrs Dunno replied, and a moment later
came into the dining room, where Ray was
already seated at the table. For moment she
did not notice the bandage on his chin. When
she did, she stopped and uttered little gasp.
Ray! You're hurt!" she exclaimed. What
happened?"

Mrs Dunno stood looking at him for a mo-

A moment later she returned with q steaming
dish which she placed on the table, then sat
down at her chair Ray glanced up. She was
gazing at him steadily with tear-flIed eyes,
"Oh, Motheri" cried Ray. please don't be

Mrs Dunno said nothing for moment When
