Miles Per Gallon, Record Set by Baker on Economy Test The, public demand, for facts regarding gasoline mileage is again : answered by a ;stock Gra ham Crusader, driver by "Can nonball" i Baker,, which just com pleted - an astonishing S a f e ty Economy run from ;Vancouver, Canada, to Agna Caliente, Mex ico, a 1639 mile journey embrac ing three countries. ; In spite of severe weather con ditions encountered in crossing numerous mountains -the terrific heat of sea level stretches, ; Ba ker drove into Agua Caliente, having covered the entire route with : an average gasoline con sumption of 28.15 miles per gal lon. On one lap of the journey, betwten Seattle and Portland, he averaged 32.16 miles per gal lon. The! lowest gasoline average, between Portland and Eugene, Oregon, was 25 miles per gallon. This variation was duetto heavy rain,; high winds and a vtry low ceiling. Baker recently establish ed a , record in the Graham Cru sader of 27.3 miles per gallon for. 4744 miles from Boston to Los Angeles. Commenting on his latest Gra ham I economy run, Baker said: "If economy were not built into every Graham, better still engin eered in, all my effort would amount; to very little. Consider for instance the significance of such devices as the economizer carburetor, which provides extra fuel ; for acceleration only when it Is needed equalized high corn pressures in aluminum cylinder htads, making possible the use of ordinary gasolines and the full; length water jacketed cylin ders', which automatically control oil temperature and cylinder ex pansion well -within safe limits.

Gasoline Tax Big Benefit, Claimed Amount Is Enormous But Safety Promoted, Is Williams' Verdict Imagine a highway paved with copper ... a highway 20 feet wide and nearly 20,000 miles long, . . . four-fifths the distance around the earth. This highway could be built of the pennies col lected in gasoline taxes from Feb ruary 1919, when the levy was first imposed, to January 1936, declares H. M. Williams, Salem branch manager of General Pe troleum corporation. "The important point about this collection of tax pennies," says Williams, "is that the mil lions of dollars thus amassed are for the specific purpose of build ing and maintaining safe high ways. It has been learned that in states where all such taxes are used exclusively for road im provement, the accident rate is reduced. "The petroleum Industry is also fostering accident-prevention by various other means. Import ant among these is the national lubricate-for-safety movement, to be officially started in thousands of service stations the week of May 23 to 30. "This movement embraces the careful checking of mechanical parts of cars ... a gratuitous service of station operators. which contemplates the mainten ance of motor vehicles in safe operating condition. This will minimize the number of accidents traceable to faulty lubrication and worn out, unsafe motor car parts." i -A 'v ' , ' - i " I ,' ' " - - x " - i i 1 . ..J - iiiii 1 in j I,,, , L lt '' " ' j t v .
