While the Kurd Motor Company la
not the flrnt to discover this funl for
motor rara, allll the public atation'
ia the flrat ever opened to soil Beniol
exclusively for motor car consump,
tlon. Thla filling amtlon carries a
supply of 25,000 gallon of benzol
on hnnd all the time. To dale, aome
itnn.ooo gallons have been told anil
used by car and truck drivers In De

strike thorn waa an exciiptioually
large demand for this product.
llcnzol has not yet reached the
highest singe of refinement, and p re
son t results are best when It la mix
ed In eiiuiil parts with gasoline. Heat
and cold also effect differently from
giiaoline. Hut the Kord labratorles
are doing a greut deal of experiment
ing and soon hope to he able to refine
it so t ti nt It can be used alone and un.
dor all conditions, Of course, Its
chief effectiveness comes from Its
high cnmbustlve power, which Is be
tween twelve and fifteen per cent
greater Hi ;ui guHolliie.
Kurd nff'cie.iii ntuui there Is no
possibility of Itenzol ever displacing
gasoline as a motor fuel, since It la
a by-product of coke and therefore
obtainable In limited quantities.

the offering made by the elements as
gifts to the deity. The air gave a
rainbow, lire a meteor, the esrth a
ruby and the sen a pearl. The rain

meteor served as a lump. The ruby
decorated his foreheiid and the pearl
was worn upon his heart

Sheepskin for Sick.
A sheepskin Is of great value to a
person who Is confined to the bed. -Put
under the sheet, wool side up. It
is delightfully soft and restful for the
patient. It Is well to have two of

beaten on the back never on the wool '
side.
