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.

i Running a Ford car without oil
through a territory in which none
could be procured by stuffing the

the continuance of a military trip,
was an experience of Arthur E
Fox, first lieutenant, Field Artil

with the American Polish " relief

Lieutenant Fox was placed in

"During this time," Lieutenant
Fox relates, "I used an old Ford
touring car to make visits to my
quarantine stations situated on
four lines of railroad coming into
Poland from Russia, traveling
over indescribably bad roads in
all kinds of weather along a front
extending from the Baltic Sea to
the Ukraine. The adventures - of
this Ford touring car would fill a

particular which is worthy of tell

one occasion, I drove out
from Vilna to the estate of a cer

to sell me fresh beef for the men

dead horse than with fresh beef,
I was only too glad to go. On

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.
The, wise city, regardless of size,
will actually plan Us future.
