T h ey affected a vital w an necessity regarding which
the Government required secrecy. B u t n ow that the

statement of facts:
H igh ly volatile gasoline for fighting-
aeroplanes was one of the w ar needs.
The output of this special gasoline by
all the refineries east of the Rocky
Mountains was not enough, so Califor
n ia was called upon to furnish a large
part of the supply. A t the request of
the United States Government fhe P a
cific Coast Petroleum W a r Service
Committee apportioned California's
quota among such of the large refiners
as were able to make this special gaso
line.
The Standard O il Company, being
the largest of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. W e were glad to do our
part. W e supplied more than our quo
ta of aviation gasoline.
Aeroplane engines, operating high in
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rarefied atmosphere, require a
different gasoline from engines operat
ing on the ground. In fact, the needs
arc so special that the gasoline manu
factured for aeroplane use (often used
at altitudes of from 20,000 to 25,000
feet) would be utterly indiffèrent for
use in automobile or other internal-
combustion engines operated off land
or sea.

not be good for general use. It would
lack power on the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great,
and it would be expensive.

Government took a very considerable
part of the low boiling point or highly
volatile constituents of the crude oil,
and, as a result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quali
ties which assure easy starting of the
automobile engine.
The Government's demand for avi
ation gasoline reached its maximum in
the late fall of 1918, and then for a peri
od of about six weeks the deficiency of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling-
point constituents v or easy - starting
qualities was most apparent.
N o w that the w ar is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con
tinuous chain of boiling points— from
the low to the high— which is necessary
