Somehow, argued practitioners, the egg-shells im proved the brew without change in themselves. This is what soy catalyst does in a chemical proc ess. As to how or why, don't ask. It's all too close to magic Since oil refining is simply chemistry gone wholesale, we long have sought to make gas oline by some magical, cati - lytic process meanwhile con tinuing to make mighty good gasoline in the usual way. So it was natural that when M. Eugene Houdry, French scien tist, hit the idea jackpot, Stand ard included itself in. After two years of laboratory study, we're building the first Houdry catalytic-process plant on the Coast a $4,500,000 Institute of Magic at our El Seeundo Refinery, Southern California. It will turn Califor nia crude oil into high octane aviation gasoline and motor fuels both of them new and different. , More and better gasoline for planes, tanks, and motor cars will be, of course, a proud con tribution to-' the national de fense. For oil can win wars. But, shucks, we would have done the same thing in times of peace. Our real contribution lies in our determination al ways to help keep America first in the oil world.
