Top Research Laboratory. Below Aerial View Los Angeles Refinery, Union Oil Co. of California. After more than- two years work, the Union Oil Company of California has completed what is generally regarded as the biggest and best equipped institution de voted solely to the securing of bet ter gasoline, oils and other prod ucts of petroleum in the west. The structure is the. Research Labora tory and is located at the Los An geles Harbor, where the company's largest refinery is also operating. The big experimenting institu tion Illustrates the extent to which the oil industry goes toward giv ing the wide range of consumers of petroleum products the best fuel and lubricants for each particular use. ' -I !'-""- It was built at a cost exceeding $300,000 and covers more than 40,000 square feet, all given over to laboratories, and the necessary work in connection with them, in which continual tests are " being made to improve existing products manufactured from crude oil. It includes the most complete and advanced equipment for this work in this country. Over the main entrance of -the building the motto of - the Union Oil research and development de partment is carved in stone "Ver itas Omnia Vincit" (Truth Con quers All) which serves to remind the chemists that all research con stitutes . searching for and using the truth. The research building si on the same site as the Union's Los An geles refinery, which was started in 1917 and is still being contin ually improved and added to. The refinery covers 250 i acres and ranks with the country's best. In addition, Union Oil refineries are situated at Oleum, on San Fran Cisco Bay; Avila, Maltha Brea and Santa : Paula; (in the various oil fields, and at Port Moody, British Columbia. .The man who used to saw the horse's mouth with the bit until it reared tip now has a son who jams on the brakes and smashes into the curb. ; FORD CUR RIMS In this world, it is not what we take but what we give up that makes us rich.

C H RYS L E R'S TALKS TRAFFIC 3 - EVERY CITY SHOULD PLAN ITS FUTURE THESE weekly traffic talks are appearing in ' selected news-1 - . papers ia every State of the Union. They are read by thousands of men and women. in small towns as well as by hundreds' of thousands in the larger cities. Those who live in small towns and have not at pres ent anything' which resembles . a traffic problem should give a thought to the future. V -: When the city fathers of New York back in 1830-40 decided to set " aside what is now Gramercy Park there were those who said that no one would ever get out to that bit of forest. And today Gramercy Park is "away down town in New York, v : e : ' ..: In the history of - Central Park there is a lesson for every town and city builder. -When the city fathers of New York proposed to lay. out the great park . there was .tremendous 'opposition because . it was argued the chy never would make use of such a vast area. The 'park Itself was laid out beginning "in 1857. Today it is one of the great parks of the world, i The point is that the planning of a town or chy should be in hands of sane sound, thoroughly practical .. men with imagination. They must be able to look ahead. 1 If the city builder of a few years ago could, have anticipated the growth of motor cars, our cities would look, much different today. : The wise small town' is' the one which anticipates its growth and avoids the mistakes of the big cities. Streets and? highways should .be wide. Houses should sit back from the street Building lots should be, deep. Sidewalks should be wide. Wherever there are a few build ings and a hundred people living to day there is a community-planning -problem. ' The Easterner who goes West for the first time comes to the conclusion that those who were re sponsible for' the building of many of the smaller towns of the West profited by the mistakes made in the East. Room is provided for lawns between : sidewalks and ' pavement, between houses and sidewalks and all around houses.
