SCIENTIST DENIES
iSlfiOIS
T0ENDT0M0RR0W
San Francisco. Dec. 17. Professor
Albert F, Porta, noted Italian scien
tist, clung steadfastly today to his
theory that between December 17th
and the en of December, the Pacific
Coast will be visited by the worst
storms in the history of the country,
and that the storm area will extend
far eastward.
He denied, however, that he had
ever predicted the world would end
this month.
Professor Porta was formerly pro
fessor of mathematics at Turin uni
versity, He is an architect and pub
lishes a scientific journal here. His
theory is that the close alignment or
six planets on one side of the sun to
morrow will result in several sun
spots, which will cause great storms
on the western shores of all continents.
Porta gained fame when he predict
ed the eruption of Mount Lassen.
Porta also predicted the big Guta-
mala disaster of two years ago. His
bigest storm this time is scheduled for
between Christmas and the New Year.

er price of the special gasoline does
not secure for the user any greater
value than is given in our regular
gasoline. "
"The Oregon state law establishes
a gravity specification for gasoline.
This is in itself a mistake for gravity
tells nothing about the combustive,
or -power; qualities 'of gasoline. This
was clearly pointed out by the United
States Fuel administration's commit
tee on standad specifications for
gasoline. As a result, the government
'adopted boiling point standards for
aviation and all other motor gasoline
purchased by the government.
"Our regular gasoline comes with

standard specifications. It is refined
to a set specification of a chain of
boiling points determined by our ex
perts as being that which will give
the maximum power and mileage and
the 'maintenance of reasonable prices
to the consumer. ,
"Another lamentable phase of the
Oregon state law is that it limits the
possible extraction of gasoline from
the crude oil and thus operates di
rectly' against gasoline conservation,
making less plentiful and more costly
the supply. The demand for gasoline
ij growing faster than the supply and
