IVES, THAT'S true. At 30 to 40 l miles an hour, there's 90-mile gale rushing through your engine.
 The POWER that drives your car isn't gasoline; it's GAS made from a mixture of gasoline and AIR.
 But the weather is constantly changing. It's cool in the morning, hot at noon. So gasoline must mix with aH kinds of AIR.
 Socony-Vacuum engineers pread- jnst Socony Mobilgas SO that it mixes better with any kind of air.
 Sudden weather changes no longer steal power nor slow up starting. Car performance stays uniform not variable with the weather.
 Most people say that dependable, uniform car performance is what they want from gasoline. Why not get it with the kind that mixesb betterwith air?

The End of s'Big Boy"

Sixteen blocks he carried those bullets, and was found hiding in a bed in the rear of a furniture store. He died shortly afterward.
 Similar was the end of Bob "Big Boy" Brady. outlaw and prison breaker, who had been companion of Underhill in the Kansas break, Brady's third prison escape.
 Only few weeks after Under hills, death, Brady was run to earth by a sheriff's posse near Paola, Kan, with three other es- capers who had been making their way across country on foot, walking by night, hiding by day. A farmer spotted them, turned in a report, and quickly posse gathered.
 Brady tried to fight. He lev eled sawed-off shotgun, but the sheriff's men were quicker, and he went down full of the charges of two shotguns. The other three were easily captured.

 He was one of Il convicts who broke from the Kansas State pen- itentiary, Kidnapping the warden. Target of Relentless Hunt
 Half a dozen bank robberies were blamed on UnderhiH shortly after the Kansas escape. and he is believed also to have taken part in the machine-gun attack on prison convoy at Kansas Clty's Union Station Plaza, in which i've men were massacred.
 So the law clung to his trail re- lentlessly. III and half-clad, he barely escaped a raid on farm house near Shawnee, Okla. One of his confederates, Gene John ston, was shot to death by police at Springtown, Ark.
 The law closed in on house in the heart of Shawnee. Visited at midnight, it showed no signs of occupancy. But the law returned at 2:30, and found lights. Through lighted window the law challenged: Stick 'em up!"
 Underhill whirled, grabbed a gun from a table, and fired through the window. A fusillade of lead tore through the house, killing a wo- man who was with Underhill. Un- derhill ran from the house in a spray of bullets, fell, rose, and ran on.

 Hughes, crouched behind a bar Der chair, died with seven bullets in his body.
 It was an i'll omen for Klutas. He was living in apparent re- spectability in a neat brick house at Bellwood, III. And when po- lice arrived for the last roundup, Klutas chose to shoot it out.
 His body was neatly clothed in striped suit, pearl-gray spats, and a derby hat as it lay before his doorstep when the police guns stopped spitting..
 Kenneth Conn was just begin ming to build himself quite a rep utation as bank robber when he tried it on the wrong bank. At Altamont, Kan, the cashier of the Labette County State Bank re- sisted when Conn and a com panion stuck up the bank. Isaac McCarty, the cashier, shot the accomplice with shot, gun. Conn grabbed McCarty's $ wife and held her in front of him as a shield.
 But McCarty dropped the shot, gun and picked up rife, with which he neatly killed Conn with two well-placed shots which never touched Mrs McCarty.
 Sheriff Snuffs Out Pair Other budding crime careers which were cut short by resolute sheriff were those of Sam Scola and Gus Fasone. They had just shot down a gang enemy from an auto in Kansas City, Mo, when Sheriff Thomas B. Bash happened by in his own car.
 Bash swung his machine in front of the bandit car, and with a riot gun snuffed out Scola and Fasone before they could raise their weapons.
 Two of the slimiest of such criminals were removed without danger or trouble to the law when Verne Miller and Gus Winkler were plotted out by their own kind.
 Miller, an expert machine gum ner with a long string of crimes on his record, was found dead in a ditch near Detroit. He had

went through a series of crimes that ranged from machine gunner in Chicago's disgraceful St Valen- tines day massacre dow n through forgery and larceny to the cold-blooded murder of a youthful patrolman, Charles Skel- Hey, who jumped on the running board of Burke's car to arrest him for a petty traffic offense at St Joseph, Mich.
 Several states sought Burke when he was finally captured. but his luck held, and Michigan won the doubtful honor.
 Boys Tip Nabs Killer The Burke capture is a typical example of the amateur succeeding when the professional is stymied.
 Burke was living at a farmhouse near Milan, Mo. and was seen only on infrequent visits to town. There young farm lad who aspired to detective work noted his suspicious manner and his resemblance to the wanted man. The lad watched closely for weeks the comings and goings of Burke, his mannerisms and speech. Then he wrote let ter to St Joseph, Mo, police.
 And they came out and nabbed Burke without firing a shot, catch ing him in bed with his heavy armament of guns just out of reach.
