In low and second, your engine makes up to 3 times as many revolutions
as in high -uses 3 times as much gasoline
STOP-AND-GO driving fools your
speedometer while your car is going a
mile, your engine may go the equivalent
of two. : , '
The number of extra revolutions your
engine makes depends on how many times
you stop and start how much of your
driving is in low and second gears.
You can't avoid stop-and-go driving,
but you can do something about its cost.
Shell engineers found that getting away
from a traffic stop can waste enough "un
digested" gasoline to carry you Vi of a mile.
To cut this costly waste, they rearranged
the chemical structure of gasoline. They
make every drop of Super-Shell "motor
digestible" every drop usable in stop-and-go
driving. ,
There is a Shell dealer near you. Use
Super-Shell and your savings count up

WASHINGTON. The senate k
growing younger faster than It ia
gaining personality, a condition enw
phaslzed In. recent days by the art
nounced Intention of Jim Ham Lewis
of Illinois to withdraw with all hi
plumage. .
The fact Is, two elder members
of the senate have decided to turn
In their chips, a pair of senators as
opposite In tone and temperament
as It would be possible to find.
Besides Senator Lewis, Senator Hal
of Maine has decided to quit at the
end of another session. These things
are perhaps of ho great moment to
the average American.
In his 20 years or more of senate
service, Hale probably never made
more than a dozen speeches, each
of which was written out in ad
vance and delivered in the senate
In the manner of a New Englander
who has set himself a stern, un
pleasant duty and will perform It,
come what may.
The quiet dreBs and wordless do- '
meanor of Senator Hale was offset
In multiple by Senator Lewis. He
had a career as fascinating as hte
manner and dress. A colonel In the
Spanish -American war, he broke
into politics In far-off Seattle, rep
resenting the state of Washington
for a time In congres. Halfway across
the continent he moved, to Chicago.
There he was three times elected
to the senate. During the war he
was on special assignment by the
president in Europe.
Style Prose
Lewis spoke In the senate In
manner that often was a torment
to newsmen. If In the course of a
speech he ever delivered a sentence
of less than 20 words, It has escaped
us. We once hunted out one that
ran to ISO words, containing sub
Ject matter for at least three para
graphs and perhaps a couple of
chapters. .
The senator at times has become
so involved In a sentence that It
seemed only prayer and fasting could
rescue him. At other times when all
seemed lost, and it became appar
ent to straining listeners that the
subject had gone speeding down the
main line leaving the predicatu htlp
less on a siding, he would mako a
coupling that would confound my
grammatical swiwnman. Ana i: ine
above sentence looks complex, com-
pare it with this Lewlslc. lllt-d en
tire from the Congressional Record:
"If the time shall ever come
when It shall be apparent thrt emi
nent leaders of the nation rise to
oppose (America's) form of - de
fense, however sophistical, how
ever artful in phraseology, how
ever analytical they may be, from
their point of critical censure,
when they peek to Justify their op
position, still, sirs, tho world can
see only that a critical time on
the eve of great danger when all
nations stand on tiptoe In thelf
anxiety and zeal for conflict there
are great senators of the United
States, those who confront our coun
try with every obstruction against
carrying out the policy that would
completely establish defense and as
sure the security of our country of
America."
Style Clothes
Jim Ham's courtly manner Is ft
remnant of the Old South, for ha
is a Virginian born and educated,
but his dress Is a vision of the future.
It is a 1950 version oi tne aay oi 4i
the plumed hat and beriooonea a, a
Dreecnes.
Taken Independently, any one part
of his garb might be monstrous. His
wine-pink beard, on Borah, would
wilt the entire Idaho potato crop.
His sorrel suit, worn alone, would
sour the milk In Wisconsin. But
taken together and shaded under th
haunting sweep of a soft felt hat
not quite as pink as the beard nor
as salmon as the vest, they arrest
the eye. night or day.
There are some fussy dressera
among the senate's younger mem
bers, but their color efforts are any
thing but grand, nor Is there ye
a voice attuned to say in the Lewis
Btyle "and. sirs, let these nations
first pay their debts to us. and the
devil take England."
