No-Nox Ethyl Solves
 Your Winter Driving
Gulf Refining Co Official Tells How New Gas Eliminates
 the Knock and Improves Performance

A Gulf Refining Company Official talks about No-Nox Ethyl as fol- lows:
 ''The manufacturers of motor cars have found that the higher the com pression the better the performance. To increase compression the motor builder reduces the size of the com bustion chamber. The principle of high compression may be demon- strated with rubber ball - the harder you throw it to the ground. the higher 1t bounces; or take the old fashion muzzle loading shot gun the tighter the powder is tamped the greater the force of the shot. In the motor the tighter the piston squezzes or congresses the charge of fuel before firing, the greater will be the power from the explosion.
 And here's where No-Nox Ethyl steps in.o the breach. The tendency of ordinary gasoline to "knock" limited the compression. By mix ing Ethyl compound with No-Nox the knock is stopped, "knocked out. - For many years Charles F. Kit tering, president of General Motors Research laboratories, and his asso- ciates cudeavored to perfect an anti knock compound and their labors were finally crowned with success when they found that tetraethyl lead would do the trick.
 l. About one teaspoon of "EthyP' fluid to one gallon of No-Motor fuel gives an ideal anti-knock gasoline, which eliminates knocks, gives add

ed power on hills, faster pickup and u cooler running motor. The reason for this is the fact that "EthyP' fluid controls the combustion rate of gasoline-keeps it from burning too quickly as the compression is raised.
 Your motor was designed to de- liver a certain number of revolutions per minute-fuel knocks reduce these revolutions (r.p.m.'s.), the mo- tor becomes sluggish-slows down.
 With the proper (r.p.m.'s) revolu- tions per minute of your motor more power is generated and with it greater mileage with much less strain on the motor, as well as the car generally.
 Vibration in the motor is deadly enemy to car perfOrmance-it Is communicated to the frame and thence to the body with the result ant loosening of nuts, and bolts. No- NoX Ethyl minimiZes vibration and thereby reduces deterioration. Consistent users of No-Nox Ethyl over a period of year or more will find the general condition of car and motor to be very satisfactory. Gulf Service stations are now dispensing No-Nox Ethyl.
 CT might also say" he continued,
 "that starting is troublesome on cold winter mornings or even when the | weather has pleasant snap. A gasoline of low end point, like Mo- Nox Ethyl for instance, vaporizes
 more quickly and completely mak. :. ing starting easy"

ALLEGED BANDITS HELD IN S1O.OOO BONDS
HEARINGS FEATURE BOARD MEETING
Works Commissioners Re-
 fer All Petitions to Re- spective Committees
TO EXTEND WATER MAIN

Hearings on layout and grade of several streets, sewer assessments and petitions for water were heard at the regular meeting Of the board of works at the City Hall last night. No definite action was taken by the board on any of the business, the various petitions being referred to respective committees.
 A delegation of four was present for the hearing on the layout and grade of Nathan street from Con- iston avenue to Newton terrace. Aft CT discussing the proposed layout Root, three of the delegation voted favorably while the fourth, MT Suhr, objected on the grounds that it would cut IS inches from his property. He explained he had built concrete steps and graded his lawn and if the layout of the street was carried out according to the maps, part of the steps would have to be destroyed and part of his lawn cut away. MT Root explained If the lay out were changed it would affect many of the other residents on the street. Mayor Frank Hayes presid- ing, jokingly asked who of the quartet were democrats and who were republicans. This brought laughs from the delegation who left tee.
 Hearings for Q proposed sewer on East Farm street brought a large delegation from St Paul's Methodist Episcopal church who objected on the grounds that the assessment was too much. Several other residents on the street voiced the same objec- tion. although several property own CTS would welcome the sewer. A Mir Ross strongly objected to @ pro- posed sewer on Platt street from Aetna to Tudor streets. He pointed out the sewer would be built over property on which there are no houses although the property is in his name. A MT Matzkin voiced the same objections. There were about six property owners who stated they wanted the sewer by all means.
 Two property owners were pres ent to argue on the proposed layout and grade of South street from Madison street to Glen street. A MT Mcdonald was highly in favor of the layout while the other property owner objected that should it go through he would be assessed on both sides of the street. MT McDon- aid pointed out there would be about 25 families affected by the layout, all of whom would apprect- ate the change.
 Three women delegates requested the board to bring the water main on the Meriden road up Alexander avenue to Manchester street. They said it would mean the continuance from the present stopping place of , bo,,t cnn foot Thov said six fam flies are now using one we'll in that section and agreed to pay for the pipe should the board authorize the lengthening of the main. J. A. H Peterson representing the Bristol Go asked the situation on the pro- posed bridge near the companys plant, crossing the Naugatuck river He said during the last month one section of the bridge had become ex- tremely dangerous.

THE NEW ENGLAND
 COUNCIL IN SESSION
Labor Situation in Six States Subject to Dis=
 CuSSiOn in Boston
AT MEETING TO-DAY

Boston, Feb 3.-A recommenda- tion to all employers of labor in New England that they begin at once accurate recording of the effects of the current depression upon the hours of work and earnings of their employees was adopted by the indus trial committee of the New England council at a meeting held at the council offices to-day.
 The committee also asked that state, local, and regional associations of manufacture in New England en- courage their members to apply the committees recommendation in their own businesses. Ex officio repre- sentatives of the Associated Indus- tries of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the Manufacturers As sociation of Connecticut participated in the committees discussion. The chairman of the councils industrial committee is James w. Hook, presi- dent of the Geometric Tool company of New Haven. -
 In statement announcing it's rec ommendation to New England em- ployers, the committee said:
 "The time has come to urge all employers of labor in New England to give attention to the longtime problems of unemployment. We, therefore, urge that every employer develop, at once, a system of records that will show the precise effect that the present depression has had and is having upon weekly hours of labor of each of their employees. This in formation, if accurately recorded, will serve as basic data for intelli- gent study of the great problem of recurring unemployment and might conceivably lead the way to it's solu- ton.
 'If the opportunity for gathering this and similar data during the present depression is allowed to go ed with all kinds of proposals and panaceas that, for lack of definite data, can not be effectively studied and their effects upon industry weighed.
 Modern industry has applied the methods of research to many diffi- cult problems, and we have seen them yield up their secrets. Let us lay the factual foundation for re- search into the great problem Of mitigating the effects of unemploy- ment; perhaps it also will yield up it's mysteries"
 In adopting the foregoing recom- mendation the committee had before it the records kept by one New Eng land industry, which. with total op- erations much reduced, has not only kept its working force intact, but has also been able to allot work in proportion to the needs of workers having the most dependents or other necessities.
 The council committee called at- tention to the fact that last october it made recommendations which re- suited in registration of unemployed in many communities throughout New England, and that in November, through a discussion at the indus- trial session of the Sixth New Eng land conference, developed pro- gram of immediate and longtime measures of unemployment relief.
