VTbat is the difference between .Vet" and "dry" gasoline? This is a question every auto mobile owner is pondering ttaesa days. New bigb-speed motors, in creasing traffic congestion, the need for getting every eent's worth of value from your fuel all these things make it neeessary to use "dry" gas if best results are to be obtained. An interesting scientific expla nation comes from the laborator ies of the Shell Oil company where Shell "400" was developed: "Crude oil contains a certain' amount of gasoline," say Shell chemists. "To extraet this, we dis till the oil. Part of the gasoline In the oil Is very volatile and is separated at a comparatively low tempera ture. As the temperature rises, still more of the gasoline is ob tained. All of the gasoline that meets government specifications is extracted when the temperature reaches 437 degrees Fahrenheit. "However, that portion of the gasoline which comes off when the crude is beated from 400 to 437 degrees is the least volatile of the entire batch. It is heavy or 'wet' as we say. It is called the 'ends' of the gasoline. m MB IS HEAD III CARS SOLD f The approach of touring time those long anticipated months that send millions ct American motorists into the oren to revel In new scenes and sensations has brought with It a steady national increase in the demand for the Nash "-400" cars that fit so per fectly Into 'every motoring require ment, according to officials of the Nash Motors company sales de partment. Following an April which regis tered a gain of 92. 68 per cent in domestic shipments of "400" seri es cars over the month a year ago, they received reports today from ten of the most important American motor sales centers showing that deliveries of new Nash cars in these points during the week ending May 18 were 43.04 per cent above deliveries in the same cities for the corres ponding week in 192S.

In Other Lands In the first Quarter of 1929, General toMors sales to overseas dealers amounted to 54,212 cars'; as compared with 56,937 in the corresponding period of 192S. This reduction does not In any sense represent a change in the demand but rather reflects the limitations on production due to an extensive revamping of certain of the corporation's models, which condition has also' been reflected in the reports covering movement of ears in the domestic markets. m Chrysler Internal-Expanding System Proved of Merit; Cost Reduced Modern traffic conditions both in cities and rural communities demand not only precaution on the part of the automobile driver but details of construction in the ear Itself that will promote safety of operation. The most important part of an automobile with regard to safety Is the braking system. It la Imper ative, therefore, that the brake system should be of the most modern design, sure and positive of operation. "Hydraulic Internal expanding four-wheel brakes are used on al) models of Chrysler cars," accord lag to J. W. Frazer. General Sales Manager, "because they have been found to be the simplest In con struction. Because they require less attention by the owner, they reduce the maintenance cost of the ear as they eliminate numerous mechanical devices, including all cross rods, pull rods and cable?. Inasmuch as they are absolutely positive In their equalization of pressure to all four wheels, they have proved to be the most sat isfactory brakes we have been able to devise. "In making the Chrysler a safe car to drive, however, we have not been content to confine our efforts to the braking system. Other features of safety are in corporated in various parts of the car with the result that the owner of a Chrysler may be certain that his car will operate easily and safely at all times.
