The Ethyl Corporation, to in lure a truly premium Ethly gaso line." says the statement, '"has wisely insisted upon a very high standard of gasoline by all of its licensees. "This standard, plus the neces sary 2 cubic centimetters of Ethyl compound per gallon, insures an efficient anti-knock fuel for all motors up to 5 to 1 compression ratio. C, Actually Better "The same amount of Ethyl, however, addsd to the new super Richfield. produce? an anti-knock high compression gasoline effi cient up to 7.5 to 1 compression actually 40 per cent better." After describing Ethyl com pound as only the '"cream in your coffee", the RichTleld statement adfts that "the actual difference ta gasolines is in the fuel itself." Richfield official? and dealers la Salem explain that before it was decided to blend Ethyl with Richfield, the company developed from racin? and aviation experi ence a really high-test supf-r-fuel for the new hiph compression en gines. That accomplished, it was de cided to offer motorists an even finer and more perfect fuel, and the Ethyl franchise was arranged for.rh new fnY being red exclu sively for the Ethylized gasoline under the blue and gold Richfield banner.

This name Is applied to a type of surfacing which is smooth and at the same time skid proof affording traction, during stormy weather and making wet weather driving much safer. In Oregon the major feature in connection with betterment work during the past two years consist ed in the construction of bitumin ous macadam surfacing amount ing to 107.3 miles. In 1273.29 miles of bituminous macadam of various types were laid in an ex perimental way and the results were so favorable that over 100 miles were laid in 19 28. Bitumin ous macadam differ from oil ma cadams in that it has a much greater thickness. This type of lEi ' 3 "7it 255 NORTH CHURCH STREET Sealed Essex Conquers Coast -;, -v ' ,11 T- l - K triumph for Oil, ra well, ! surfacing Is a still further inter mediate type between the oil ma cadams and a pavement and judg ing from experience there is a very definite place for it in this state. According to the Oregon State Motor association, the method of construction one-half width at a time results in very little delay or inconvenience to the travelling public, inamuch as the surfacing can be driven over without the danger of asphalt adhering to the car as soon as the surface is com pleted, and the one-way traffic control seldom exceeds one mile at a time.

Lionise Tnaaen, zs year old San Francisco avlatrlx, holder of world's endurance and altitude records, established a world's speed record for women fliers at the Oakland Airport last week, attaining an average speed of 156 miles per hour over a measured two mile course in her Travels ire biplane "Miss Cycol". The, famous flier rircled the field twice, averaged 175 milei an hour with the wind but lost considerable speed on the return. On this flight as m her previ ous record-breaking endurance hops. Associated Aviation gasoline and Cycol Aero oM were the choice of Mrs. Thaden. The speed record was officially timed by Leo- S.

This event, set for April 17 and 18, was called the Sky-Road Pa rade, marked on the one hand the most ambitious movement of civil ians through the air ever attempt ed on a single day and on tbe other, the largest driveaway of eight cylinder cars ever to leave a Detroit factory. The event was conceived when the Gambill Motor Company, lac.. Hupmobile distributors in Chica go, placed an order for $2,790,600 worth of HupmobiIe3, and it was decided to make Chicago's fourth annual driveaway from the fac tory the biggest event of its kind in Hupmobile history. The Hupp Motor Car Corporation, which has already engaged in an active cam paign t improve safety in motor traffic and actively promote good roads, decided that this driveaway should be made the means of dra matizing the progress of a sister transport Industry. For that rea son, it was arranged that the own ers oC the 150 new Century Eight or their representatives should make the trip from Chicago to De troit by airplane in a great parade through the sky on April 17th, and return next day in a pa rade over the highways with these glittering Hupmobiles. Elaborate plans are being made to make both the exoQus from Chicago "awing" and the return by'motor eevnts of stirring interest accom panied by appropriate ceremonies. National Aeronautical Association, and HenTy Hultman, secretary. Nagle said the speed record would be sent to the national offices of his association as the official world's mark for women fliers. By virtue of her altest feat Mrs. Thaden brings to the Pacific coast all of the important world's rec ords for women fliers.

The distance was 3943 miles.
