New Tests For Gas
New Development
In Motor Fuels

According to Richfield engineers
one of the most exhaustive tests
ever made of car and gasoline per
formance was completed over a
period Of 65 days in the Coachella
Valley where 16 gasolines were
tested in go per cent of the types
cars on the road today. This re-
search, according to its director,
Larry Grunder, has antiquated
former laboratory testing methods
by proving a fuels value in cars
identical in type and condition to
the motorists.
According to Grunder laboratory
tests on octane rating may not be
at all indicative of a gasoline's
road performance. He says, I'VE
found some gasolines excel in city
driving but fall short of perfection
at high speeds; on others and re-
verse Is true. Our research was
directed towards a gasoline that
performed equally we'll for city and
highway driving. We found this
in our test gasoline Number s
which is now the New-Time Hi
Octane."

After a few months trial of the
Wage and Hour Law of 1898. min
ing men as well as farmers of
Arizona are still vitally interested
in its provisions and it's applica-
tions, and an effort is now being
made to amend it. Perhaps the
amended measure will be before
the House Monday, May Is. l re-
call that | worked desperately last
year to get mining in isolated COM
munities and some other industries
exempted from the operation of this
proposed law, and l thought the
final enactment did afford sufficient
of the situation equitably for the
administrative leeway to take care
small mines of Arizona. l recall
last summer having said to several
mining men in the State that 1t
was my individual opinion that con-
tracts or arrangements could be
made, within the present law, be-
tween employees and employers.
to continue to provide miners en-
ployment for the same per week
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-05-18

as they had previously been EN-
ployed. and without any cut in the
total monthly pay received.
Wage cutting is not to be tolerat'
ed because of this act, but wage
rates might be adjusted on the
books, within. this law in my
opinion, and 1t could be justified in
some cases, if there was no reduc.
ton in the total wages paid labor
ers. l had talk day or two ago
with Mr.. Andrews, the admin
istrator, and found him sympathetic
toward the problems miners and
employers operating small mines IN
isolated communities. Therefore
believe that adjustments are ahead,
either by change in the law itself,
or by administrative rulings. These
things we are trying for-to make
the law itself clear and permit no
real wage reduction nor less EN-
ployment.
The Flood Control Bill for this
session was before the House on
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-05-18

May 10 providing for S110,0Ql00O
to carry on the projects already
approved by army engineers, The
Flood Control bloc at first demand
ed $195.000,000 recommended by
the army engineers, but later
thought it wise to ask for only
$50,000,000 additional, If it had 10
be amended on the floor of the
house. The leadership refused to
accept the reduced amendment and
agreed instead that it would be
suggested to the President that
S50,OOO,000 in the next relief ap-
preparation should be earmarked
for flood control. The Committee
adopted amendments totaling $780,
900, 900. In this bill $4,000,O0O are
provided to enable the engineers
to conduct further surveys. Of
course the next big study needed
in Arizona is a survey of the en-
tire Gila watershed and its posi-
bilities as one unit.
Another matter that gives me
The Coolidge examiner., 1939-05-18

pleasure and satisfaction is that
the Ways and Means Committee,
| am told, will report favorably
my bill, HR S9s, which will grant
relief TO some distressed tax
payers who are belated with their
social security tax. My measure
pertained this time to the tax for
1897 only, but the Committee bid
again, as last year,-they made it
broader than my bill proposed. It
is to apply to the years 1886, 1887,
and 1888.
Letters and telegrams are pour
ing from the small mine operators
throughout the State urging action
on my bill, HR 6131, which would

W. o. Cooley Points to

Loon Bunk Bourd

A careful analysis of existing con-

prospective home purchasers that
the local home builder cannot build
as cheaply today as he could have
three years ago, according to w. o.
Cooley, chairman of the Home
Builders Committee Of the WASH
ington Real Estate Board.
For number of years the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board has
been making study of construc-
tion costs in each of the major cities
in the several Home Loan Bank
districts. This study of costs is
based upon the erection of a de-
tached six-room house having a..
600 cubic feet volume. This theo-
retical dwelling has a living room,
dining room, kitchen and lavatory
on the first floor and three bedrooms
and bath on the second floor. It
is not completed for occupancy but
includes all fundamental structural
elements, an attached one-car
garage, unfinished cellar and attic.

Eighth Silver
Star Home
To Open
low-Cost House
Is in Rock Creek
Park Village

An attractive small home OF CO.
lonial architecture will be opened to
the public tomorrow at 3514 Inver-
ness drive, Rock Creek Park VIII
lage, Md, as the eighth in this
years series Of Silver Star homes.
The dwelling will be open to the
public for 80 days under sponsorship
Of The Star.
While the home is included in
the low-cost range, 1t has seven
rooms and bath, and is equipped in
the manner of much more expen-
sive house. It was built by the Rock
Greek Park Village Corp, devel-
opers of the new section, and is pre-
sented by Sandoz, Inc. The home
was designed by Miss Mary Frances
Knee, architect, of Lyon Park, Va.
The new home has been decorated
and furnished by group of George
town antique dealers. These dealers
were careful in selecting pieces for
the house which will be of interest to
purchasers of small dwelling
Only inexpensive antique furniture
was used. Despite this, the decora-
tors were able to obtain a decidedly
pleasing interior effect.
Near Country Clubs.
The Star home may be said to be
a low-priced dwelling in a high
priced neighborhood. It is located
in portion of North Chevy Chase,
Md, and is adjacent to the Mont
gomery County portion Of Rock
Greek Park. Several of the Capt.
tails best country clubs are within
easy access. The terrain is rolling,
and there are many trees through
out the development.
Before the house received The
Star award, 1t was thoroughly in
spected and subsequently Endorsed
by the five housing experts who
compose the Silver Star Home Com
mittee. James S. Taylor, of the Fed
eral Housing Administration, is
chairman of this group. Other men,
bers include Irwin S. Porter, promi-
nent architect; Edwin H. Rosen-
garten, builder, member of the firm
Of Davis, Wick and Rosengarten;
Fred A. Smith, newly elected presi-
dent of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board, and John Nolen, Jr.,
director of planning of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The lot upon which the home is
built is large and dotted with trees.
1t contains approximately $500
square feet. The home is built of
brick backed by cinder block. It is
equipped with the most modern con-
veniences, including an oil burning
