S. Bureau of Standards. In commenting on this statement, recently, one of the heads of the local agency' of the Standard Oil Company naid: "The reason gravity is misleading is a test for gasolino is plain enough when you understand that boiling points alone determine real motor fuel ef ficiency. Gravity tells nothing at all about boiling points and their proper ranev and continuity. "To be 100 percent efficient, gasoline must huve its boiling points lit a con tinuous, unbroken, gradually rising eeries. "In this connection it is nlso im imrtniit to nntA that onlv straight- li.tilled, refinery gasoline can have its boiling points in! a continuous chain. No mixture on earth could bo con cocted to contain all tho hundreds of necessary fractions. Yet the gravity f this mixture might bo satisfactory, iluia iWrtvinir niivono depending on - ----- e gravity for motor fuel cfliciency and economy." AUTO NOTES. Do you know That two or three revolutions of ft tire spinning on the road or n slide for a few feet due to the too sudden ap plication of a brake will grind off more f the trends than hundreds of miles of ordinary wear; That when executive wear comes on tine cf your rear times it indicates that ne of the brake bands takes hold sooner than the ether; That it is liable t:i cause a skid, scrap the rubber off the tires and weak ening the sidewails; That tires en wheels thnt nre, out of alignment have been known to wear the fabric in 100 miles and even less; That turning the front wheels when the car is stationary is one of tho easiest ways to throw them out of alignment; That oilfcleft on the tire will cause trend separation as readily as sand and wnter which soak through a neglected clit or puncture hole; That ntter running over oiled roads tho tires should be cleaned off with gas oliue.
