STALE GAS is FEEBLE If

You KNOW that gasoline evaporates. But have
you ever thought what that means? 1t means that,
little by little, the 'ght ends"-the "easy starting"
elements-drift off into thin air.
And as gas gets stale, chemical change takes
place-and hence the longer gas is stored, the
weaker it gets. The less power it gives you. And
it gets stckier, too More apt to foul valves and
carbureter. More apt to knock on the hills.
The whole petroleum industry has long known
these facts. Gulf has long studied the problem

BLAME WATER
FOR EPIDEMIC
INShNTA PAULA

SANTA PAULA, April Is. U,P)-
Danger from contaminated city
water, blamed for the illness of
approximately 500 persons here,
was believed past today following
flushing of mains and conduits.
Analysis OF milk, water, fruits
and vegetables made after a
strange malady had made hundreds
i'll, threatening close of schools
and business, disclosed that con-
taminated water was to blame. DR.,
J. A. King, county healthy officer,
ordered all city water mains and
private connecting lines thorough
" flushed to remove impurities.
He expressed belief that seepage
from a sewer or cesspool had con-
taminated the supply. *
Two hundred school children
were among those made i'll. The
younger children were most SER
iously affected, but many adults
were forced to take to their beds.
Symptoms were those of mild
ptomaine poisoning, physicians
said. There was no danger to life
and most of the victims had rccov-
cred today.

RECEIVER TO

CHICAGO, April Is. U.P)-Fed-
eral Judge Walter c. Lindley de-
clared the Middlewest Utilities Co.,
50 500 100000 unit in the vast Sam
uel insult Financial system, in re-
ceivership today but delayed NAM
ing three receivers.
1t was The largest receivership
ever ordered in American business
history.
Samuel insult, chairman of the
board of the middlewest, Charles
A. Mccullough, chairman of the
board of the John r. Thompson
Restaurant Co., and Edward N.
Hurley, former member of the u.
S. shipping board, were suggested
as receivers by the company.
The suggestion was possible
since the petition for receivership
was a friendly action brought by
the Lincoln Printing company, in
which insult is large stockholder.
The petition was based on claim
of but $4,000.
Judge Lindley, sitting for Judge
James H. Wilkerson, before whom
the petition was filed, said he would
take under consideration naming
of three men suggested as receivers.
