Branch MORE POWERFUL GASOLENE Automobile manufacturers are looking toward the adjustment of their engines Co the leas volatile but more powerful gasoline now being supplied by the petroleum refiners. Refiners, in order to meet the Increas ing demands upon petroleum stocks, have cut deeper into the crude oil and are producing a fuel considerably more powerful than that of former years. The problem of engine ad aptation to the supply of petroleum and its refined parts is one expected to come before the statistical re search bureau which the America! Petroleum Institute, with headquar ters in New fork, intends to estab lish. In this Institute producers, re finers and consumers of oil may join in co-ordinating their efforts for the impovement of the industry. Dr. Van H. Manning, director of the United States Bureau of Mines, is also chairman of the Improvements" Committee of the Institute. He has recommended to the Institute direc torate that the new bureau be estab lished with an appropriation of $1, 000,000 a year to be raised on a pro duction basis from' refiners and pro ducers. A special commute to con sider this recommendation has been appointed by President Thomas O -Donnell. A favorable report on the Manning proposal is expected by in dividual members of the Institute. The problem of using a less vol atile, but more powerful gasoline for automobiles is not a new one. Ac cording to Henry L. Doherty, chair man of a committee of petroleum producers and refiners which is now negotiating with the manufacturers of motors, Doherty's committee and another headed by John N. Willys, of the automobile manufacturers, have had the problem under consideration for some time. Although petroleum producers are bending every possible effort toward increased production they have thus far been unable to adequately cope with the enormous increase in the demand for petroleum products especially gasoline. Re finers, however, have advanced the only practical solution to the threat ened shortage by cutting deeper into the crude oil and extracting a greater volume of gasoline which is less vol atile but more powerful. In this way it is hoped the supply of this fuel can in some measure keep pace with the demand. It is significant to note the spirit of cooperation, between petroleum 1111111111111111 producers, refiners and automotive frj I Pure White I Flour 1 For Sale By 1 1 Phelps Grocery. Co.
