Her vaudeville dancing was de-
scribed by one of the show world
as ballroom dancing against
glittering backdrop of silver and
golden spangles. The team OF
CLANCY & Fox was. successful IN
vaudeville, but it was never head
liner
ORIGINATED THE
ELEANOR GLIDE"
About eight years ago Miss
CLANCY met Mrs. Roosevelt, and the
two became very friendly. The
dancer and her partner invented a
new dance, named, in honor OF the
First Lady, the Eleanor Glide" 1t
has been described as a combina-
ton Of the mazurka, polka and two
step, which could be danced to any
fox trot.
The friendship of Mrs. Roosevelt
and Miss CLANCY grew as the years
went on. The dancer accompanied
the First Lady on trip to Homo
lulu a few years ago. On her return
from the islands, Miss CLANCY re-
manned in Hollywood some six
weeks, confding that she intended
to go into the movies, but she did
not get into pictures.
Mrs. Roosevelt often attended
opening nights when CLANCY g. Fox
began to appear in hotel floor
shows.
One actor remembers with con-
siderable envy that Mrs. Roosevelt
came to the opening of a new show
in Baltimore and that Miss CLANCY
ducked out of the supper show to
dine with the Presidents wife.
About year ago Mr. Fox was
taken i'll, and Miss CLANCY has not
been dancing professionally since.
Her last appearance in New York
was at the Ambassador Hotel.
The story of that appearance
seems to sum up pretty well Miss
Chaneys experience and ability and
her friendship with Mrs. Roosevelt.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1s-An
increase in the worlds most potent
aviation gasoline from the same
amount of material and essentially
the same equipment and labor has
been realized by chemists Of Ameri-
can oil companies.
They have developed for Uncle
Sans flyers fuels which will give
more power for the same weight
engine than was considered possible
at the start of this war
Potentially these developments
add scores of squadrons of fighting
power to Americas sky forces and
must be considered one of the out
standing accomplishments of the
world conflict.
Out of all this. when the war is
over and car and plane production
for civilian use are resumed, will
come revolutionary changes in de-
sign and cars will be lighter and
faster than is now imagined.
Figures Show Increase.
Many of the details of these de-
velopments are necessarily military
secrets. Some of the basic facts,
however, was explained by chem
lists of the Shell Oil Co. here, who
have taken q leading part in the
progress.
The celebrated Liberty motor of
the World War was able to deliver
200 horsepower. An airplane en-
gine of the same weight today can
deliver 1900 horsepower.
With the best gasoline available
In 1927 1t was possible to develop
500 horsepower in an aviation en-
gine. But by 1884 this had in
creased to 900 horsepower. Now, it
Is quiet probable, the same weight
engine can 60 considerably above
1900 horsepower.
The credit goes to both engine
designers and petroleum chemists
working comparatively. Some day
there will be 2,400- 0-horsepower en-
gine weighing the same as the 1900
horsepower engine Of today-if and
when 1t can be designed. 1t is nc
longer question of motor fuel.
Already a plane Is able to carry
much heavier loads Of bombs, troops
or freight because of the super
fuels and this is equivalent to many
extra squadrons Of planes.
Series of Perfections.
1t has been step-by-Step progress,
the Shell chemists explain, and the
individual steps for the most part
have passed without notice
The basis Of this progress has been
an ethereally light, invisible gas
with which few persons except oil
chemists are familiar, which lit
tie more than a decade ago was a
waste product Of the petroleum in
dustry. This gas is butane-or more
specifically in the latest and most
sensational developments-the bu-
tane-butylene fraction Of crude oil
The petroleum pumped from the
ground Is a mixture of several hun
dred so-called hydrocarbons, mole
cules composed Of various combina-
tions of carbon and hydrogen atoms
These ran. all the way from such
extremely light gases as methane
and ethane, containing, respectively
one and two carbon atoms, to heavy
tars and asphalts with several hun
dred carbon atoms.
The fraction ranging from about
S to II carbon atoms is separated
and after undergoing various COM
pleX puriflcation processes becomes
the gasoline Of commerce. Until
few years ago there was little U.s.
for the lightest fractions which be-
come gases under atmospheric pres
sure.
One Of these wild gases" is bu-
tame 1t contains four carbon
atoms. A little of 1t is used in mo.
