'j.,5 Government tests conducted by com'
v missions appointed especially for the,
urooseY and other tests conducted M
. a part of Its routine by the bureau of
mines, have decided that the specific
v; gravity test is not the true test of gaso-
line, but 'that the boiling point is the
-real criterion. . speolfte gravity of gaa-
ollne merely compares the density of the
! fuel with' the density of" water at sea
leveL while the-boiling point Is the tern'
t peraturr at which a liquid will begin to
'boll or vaporise.
; Mechanicians are divided on the ques
t tlon. Some claim that gasoline having a
k low sDeolf to gravity will not give the
I ease ol starting that gasoline of a higher
4 ipeclflo gravity will give, that all the
gas is not exploded In the cylinder, and
; that the residue after explosion cuts the
? lubricant in the. cylinder and .works down
Into the eranM case. ' Others say that
- the' fault Is, in the carburetlon system
and not in the gasoline, declaring that
i gasoline ox a tow : specuu: gravity wm
s give praotloalfy- the same ease of start
I Ing uj It la 'gasified properly, and wilt
'give more power and mileage once the
; ar li started. They add that evert, gaso
J line of -higher volatility leaves a resl

EXCEEDS SUPPLY
The firoepeeta for ths eerftlng year,
shipments of ears. an4 probaole ship
menu of accessories were treated in
detail. Allotments to dealers In the
Northwest, owing to scarcity of ears,
came lit for some sympathetic discussion.
Every dealer seemed to be oonfident that
there would be very preeseroua year
during the months of 19 SO.
Frank S. Higgs. la discussing eilst
Ing conditl6ns, said : -There Is now. an
enormous demand for care of all classes,
and there will be' a decided shortage neat
year , on account of that demand. The
Overland factory la now almost at the
peak of production, and to carry the
figures ' representing; 'finished eatp any
higher will mean added fleer space and
equipment for -the central plant.
- -The taetorr Is how turning out over
109 cars dally, and factory officials seen
expect tr- reach s. the 00 mark. con
tinued Mr. Biggs, eeal shortage
has net aa yet affected ; the , Overland
factory to any appreciable degree,- hav
ing, as they did a gopd supply on hand.
When the point of production gets back
to where It Was before the strike, a
time which should .not be far distant,
all factories should, bw on a full produc
tion basis.,- ...
" "It Is a iMculiar fact that the-f actor
uses lees fuel when running than it doetft
when u-is not running. The amount
of refuse gathering throughout the plant
and thrown away, makes good fuL It
is not" wasted, byv any means, but every
hear unit Is extracted before It gets out
of the hands of the engineers. -
Those present at the meeting were:
Harry Olive, manager 1 of the Spokane
branch, .together with Fred lawton .and
C TS. Moore, territory men ' A. ft Tyson,
