CHELL scientists thrive on
y competition.
Some years ago, an argument as
to who could get the most miles
out of a gallon of gasoline boiled
up into a challenge. And Shells
Mileage Marathon was born.
Shell scientists have competed
in this Marathon for several
years. Not as publicity stunt.
But purely as private contest.
They use their own cars, time
and money.
Not for everyday use
The best mileage recorded so far
is a resembling 1863 miles per
gallon.
Many of the things contest
ants did to achieve this world
record are not recommended for
use on the public highway. But
they do throw some light on
what makes little gasoline 60
long way.
Record-breaking car cost $35
Shells record-breaking car was
highly modified 1924 coupe
(see cut). 1t was rescued from
junkyard for $35.
The only requirements that
had to be met to qualify for the
contest were simple.
The car had to have four
underlined wheels. sIss had to
weigh no less than 2OOOpounds.
1t had to have at least 100 cu. in.
piston displacement. And it had
to use gasoline that anybody
could buy at Shell service
station.
After that, no holds were
barred. The car that won used
standard carburetor from an old
one-cylinder engine.

Shell Research scientists reveal how they got
168.47 miles per gallon

One hundred and sixty eight miles per
gallon must be world record. Like most
world records, it took enthusiasm and
hard work.
The two Shell scientists who hold this
record have told us how they managed
it. They have also added some tips on
how you can increase your cars mileage.
Not by using their own outlandish tech
niques. But by careful driving and to-
days Super Shell gasoline.

knowledge passed ON

When Marathon Day rolls
around at Shell, there is GER
tainly picnic atmosphere at the
testing grounds.
But remember that the Mara
thon is only climax to months
of serious work. Not everybody
sets a record. But every contest
ant learns little more about the
care and feeding of automobiles.
Which, after all, is Shells main
job.
Eventually, every bit Of this
knowledge is passed On to you
in the form Of better products.
1odays Super Shell is a shin
ing example. Thanks to contin-
uous engine studies and mileage
tests, Super Shell now contains
special mileage booster called
Platformate.
Among Platformate's compo-
nents are benzene, toluene and
eylene. These three components
alone release II per cent more
energy per gallon than the finest
lOO-octane aviation gasoline.
The lesson is obvious. The
first thing YOU do to get extra
mileage is to put extra energy
into your fuel tank, by using to-
days Super Shell. Then, if you
want even more mileage, take
these tips.
1. Don't race your engine when
stationary. Every revolution is
pure waste unless it is taking
you somewhere.
z. Avoid jack rabbit starts.
They waste gasoline by holding
automatic transmissions in low
gear too long.

SeriOus-Or scientific fun?

You already know the result.
But, since "on-and-of" driving
is illegal on the public road
and since most marathon modi-
6cations are positively danger
GUS for normal use you may be
wondering if Shells Mileage
Marathon has any point
Is it a serious test? Or is it
merely scientific picnic? The
answer is-a bit of both.

Tire pressures
up to 10 pounds

Some contestants inflated their
tires as high as ITO pounds per
square inch to reduce road
wheel friction.

;. Drive at moderate speeds.

3. Drive at moderate speeds.
Your Car uses about 40 per cent
more gasoline at 90 mph than at
IS mPh.
4. Keep an even speed. Ragged
driving uses fuel without using
the power ii generates.
S. Keep tires up to their proper
pressures. Soft tires soak up
power like blotter soaks up ink.
6. Get your Shell man to make
these checks. Your carburetor
should be adjusted periodically.
Spark timing should be correct.
Fuel filters and air cleaner should
Be clean. Brakes should be prop
erly adjusted. And your thermo-
stat must be in working order.
Use todays Super Shell and
follow these suggestions. You
may get as much as 30 extra
miles per tankful. We can't guar
antee this saving. But, unless
you're a millionaire, its worth
thinking about.

Mumed radiator
and no fan

Many competitors went as far
as to remove their engines water
pump and generator to save en-
CINE load. But Berry and Schu-
cite ignored this refinement.
However, they did muffle
their radiator completely to save
heat.
As anybody knows, all cars 60
better when properly warmed
up. But did you know that fast
warm-uP is specially provided
for in today's Super Shell? 1t

WOODS HOLE, Mass. Dec.

5000 feet high, covered by mud
as much as a mile and a half

echo sounding equipment
aboard the Woods Hole Ocean

The Chain returned to Woods

DR.. John B. HerSey, one of

Morgoret's Baby BowIs
At Palace Christenino

LONDON, Dec. 10 (AP) -
Princess Margaret's baby was
christened at Buckingham Pal
ace today-and he let out a
powerful yell.
In Britain, that's a good sign.
Babies who remain silent during
christenings are supposed to be
destined to unhappiness.
Viscount Linley-the 6-Week-
old son of the Princess and Lord
SnoWdon-baWled several times
during the ceremony.
AS a godparent, Queen Eliza
beth II, took her nephew from
his nurse. Grading the child
in her arms, the Queen then
spoke his names:
David Albert Charles
She gently handed him to the
Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr..
Michael Ramsey.
That's when his lordship
yelled first.
He broke the silence again
when the archbishop reached
for the baptismal water, which
came from the River Jordan.
The christening was held in
the music room of the palace.
Lord Linley was dressed in a
christening robe of Honiton
lace-the same one worn by
Queen Victoria's children and
other members of the royal
family.

Condition Improves
BY the time Mr.. Kennedy left
sunny Florida he was feeling
less discomfort from head con-
geStion and earache. These de-
veloped during his return from
the grueling trip he and Mrs.
Kennedy took into Latin Amer
lea last week end.
Navy Capt. George Burkley, as
sistant White House physician,
and DR.. William Y. Sayad of
Palm Beach, who has attended
the Kennedy family there for
a number of years. checked the
President before he departed
this morning.
White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger reported that
Mr.. Kennedy was feeling better.
The interior of the jet was
preSsurized at zero altitude to
make the 880-mile flight at an
actual altitude of $4,000 feet
more comfortable. Ordinarily
the jet is presSurized at the
equivalent of about 1900 feet.
Earache Developed
Takeoffs and landings on the
flight home from Bogota. Co.
lombia, early yesterday, includ-
ing a refueling stop at Ramey
Air Force Base in Puerto Rico,
had bothered the President.
The rapid change in altitude
compounded by his cold caused
