(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.

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.
