THE L'A GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PAGE SEVEN ZEPPELINS HAY SOON ACROSS (By Associated Press) LONDON, June 20- Details cf the first Atlantic airship service be tween Spain and Argentina have just been mailo public by the London Daily Chronicle, which says that it may soon be possible to bridge the 5,000 miles between the two conti nents in three and a halt days. The service will operate 'between Seville and Buenos Aires, and Zeppelin air craft will be used. There will be terminal airdromes, mooring masts repair sheds, and hy drogen factories at Seville and at Buenos Aires. In addition, emer gency landing grounds will be laid cut at the Canary Islands and at Cordoba, in the Argentine- On the American side of the At lantic the hangars will be made on a revolving principle, because of the variability of the wind. Four air Bhips are being built to inaugurate the scheme, and it is anticipated that service will begin next summer. It also is probable that arrangements will be made to link up Seville di rect with London by an airplane ser vice. The airships, fitted with nine en gines, each developing 400 horsepow er, will carry 40 passengers and 11 tons ci mails and merchandise There will be two simultaneous flights a week in each direction, and the time taken to cross the Atlan tic will 'be three days and 10 hours. Passengers will have all the com forts of an Atlantic liner, without the disadvantage of sea sickness. The ships will have a speed of 82 miles an hour. Zeppelin pilots who have not less than 1,000 successful flights to their credit will bo en gaged to operate the craft- Each airship will carry six pilots and a commander. Powerful wireless sets will he fit ted into each ship, thus it will be possible to keep in touch with 45 weather .stations on the coasts of Spain, Africa, America, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde and Fernando Noronha, as well as with ships ut sea. .

With Union Gasoline the E x p 1 o a i o n thrusts the pis ton throughout the Stroke, like this. NonfDetohatmg Qasolirie Works a Full Stroke X Gasolines explode in two ways. One kind explodes with a crash. It detonates. Thjl piston receivesjrfut a single smashing impulse for each troke. The power of the explosion is over before the piston is half yny down the full length of ts stroke. i Due to the tendency to explode prematurely, detonat ing 'gasolinoimits compression in your cylinders. ItVcauies much of the "knocking" you notice on hills. And the repeated crashing blows increase vibration, thu9 increasing wear and tear. The Sustained Explosion The explosion from Union Gasoline is of the other kind. It is sharp but sustained non-detonating. It gives im pulse to the piston for the full length of the stroke. Power and efficiency are increased as a result of increas ed compression, because, as all authorities know, non-detonation permits added compression. New Speed This added smAother power means a new "lift" on hills. You take grades with a rush. Your motor doesn't "knock." There's more snap in your pickup and new speed on the level. Vibration is reduced, which saves wear and tear. Fuel mileage is increased due to better efficiency all around. ' So there are ample reasons for selecting Union Non-Detonating Gasoline. Union is the product of progressive refining methods. Its quality is governed by exhaustive te3ts. The research of able engineers and chemists, equipped with every accepted facility for studying refining methods, is constantly devoted to its improvement.
