TRAP LINES
 by HENRY PEARSON

I have always had an inane fear of bank presidents. Cloistered deep in their marbled domain and sur rounded by bcvy of assistants, l had always pictured them as being like in their seclusion.
 As long as I live I will remember my first business contact with a Bank President. After many years of hard work I had amaSSed fifty dollars and after worrying over it night after night, I decided that I would entrust it to the care oi the imposing palace on the corner of Main and Second in my home town-which housed the local bank.
 Clutching my frugal savings in a vice-like grip. timidly pushed through the heavy brass-lined door and stepped into the open foyer. My feet pounded hollowly on the marble floor and my knees knocked together as I viewed the imposing array of wickered windows.
 Hastily, before my fast ebbing courage should depart forever, l strode toward the first window be- hind which a baldish overstuffed man was punching a many-keyed machine furiously like he was try ing to beat it into submission.
 I had to clear my throat three times before he left his internal contraption and looked laconically at my whitening figure. When l hoarsely whispered that I would like to talk to the bank president, his lips turned up hastily at the corners in which I know now was meant to be a sheer.
 What, young man, would De wanting with the Bank President?

The way he said it made me feel like bolting for the door However. l was determined that I was not going to trust my fabulous amount to some mere assistant.

pearance. And what is it? A new
high-octane gasoline-one of a
long list developed within the last
ten years. Most of them were for
a long time mere curiOsities that
cost several thousand dollars Il
gallon. If our bombers and fight
ers are doing such fine work it is,
for one reason, because of them.
Heavier loads can be carried; en-
gine efficiencies and speeds are
higher. Since gasoline engines,
whether used in the air or on land.
are much the same in principle, it
was apparent that a fuel had been
obtained which would profoundly
affect the design of automobiles.
Hence Detroit. Dearborn. Toledo
and Flint are already promising us
postwar automobile which
makes that of 1912 look as out of
date as the horse and buggy. We
are told that not only will it be
able to cover forty miles on a gal
Ion of the new fuels, but that it
will be much lighter and cheaper
than anything We have ever known.
What does Detroit offer us after
L.. Contamination, bnlinnnfnr.c
and automobiles that will enable us
to reach our destinations partly by
air and partly by concrete highway
will take time to develop. In fact,
two or three years must elapse be-
fore even the automobile of today
will be changed. Then we are
promised an entirely new car.
Geors will he shifted automatically
