Converts Coast
Cars 10 butane

SAN FRANCISCO - WD -
Gas-famished Western motor
lists, who have used kerosene,
benzene. cleaning fluid. clorox-
everything but whisky, which
they can't get either-to stretch
their mileage across the Vests
wide spaces, may find the an
swer to their dreams if they fol-
low the example of California
motorists.
These California motorists
some 1000 of them-are road
happy today because they are
getting all the gas they want
at 10 to ID cents gallon and no
ration coupons to bother with.
The answer is the gas called
butane, technically known as
"liquefied petroleum and UNI
rationed in California.
The motorists will remain
happy unless irate OPA officials
find some way of catching up
with them.
Conversion of passenger cars
to the use of putane requires a
special carburetor and several
other gadgets which are easily
obtained, but for which prior
ity must be requested from the
Petroleum Administrator Of
War, Harold Ickes. The priority,
however, requires no certifica-
ton by any government official.
If the butane motorist plans to
use more than 1000 gallons a
month he has only to have his
dealer certify that sufficient
butane is available.
Peyton Hough, head OF the
WPB automotive parts division
here, estimates that conversion
to butane costs between $3.50
and $500. However, butane will
average about Ia miles per gal
lon even in a Cadillac, Lincoln
or Packard.
The fuel, long advocated by
some petroleum engineers as a
motor fuel, is being used in
hundreds Of trucks. 1t burns
with less carbon and is the near
est approach to high octane
fuel available today to motorists.
Fuels previously tried have al
ways been found wanting. Kero-
sene was -dirty-and- too slow
burning, cleaning fluid wouldn't
pull the mountainous Western
grades, clorox just didn't work.
Butane wants nothing but
OPA sanction. At present, OPA
officials. aroused by this whole
sale leak in California gasoline
rationing to series Of grim
conferences, have found no way
of stopping the use of butane
except TO emphasize that butane-
using autos are still subject to
tire rationing.
Fire Marshal Kelly, head of
San Franciscos fire-prevention
bureau, has pointed out that the
sale of butane, highly explos-
i've gas, is illegal in this city,
and that motorists who have
converted their cars for such
fuel will face prosecution and
possible seizure of their auto
mobiles.

most glamorous actresses, start

The fellows probably don't
object, either, because Frances
has lovely blond hair, a ready
smile, and Southern accent
that adds something extra TO
her charm as a vocalist.
She has slept in tents pitched
in almond groves. hospitals and
in the Fascist Youth Building

fallen around her on almost ev-

At Umnak, Alaska, where the

that one of the audience of q

asked if her song had made him
homesick.

The court upheld 800 employees

pal Employees Association, who
were seeking Sl4l,S 1872. The city
had appealed a circuit court deci-
sion favoring the employees.
Budget director David V. Addy
and others believe the decision
makes every one uner the juris-
diction of common council and the
board of education in the 1882
period eligible. This would mean
S727, 900 for those persons who
were under common council and
S768. 900 for those under the board
of education.
The city paid half the amount
in dispute in 1887, but contended
the balance was in form of a pay
cut rather than deferred salary
payment.
