Every motorist knows, vaguely, that the faster he drives his car the greater the oil consumption. Now ! the American automobile associa- | tion has discovered just what a big difference a few miles-per-hour | maka, | A collection of many facts on the subject is the result of 9,000 miles of tests conducted by the contest board of the A. A. A. | over the Indianapalis spesdway track. Seventeen stock cars, represent- ing 13 different makes—a fair cross- section of the 1931 automobile crop | —were given the test. The cars consumed an average of one quart of oil per thousand mil | when driven at 30 miles an hour, but the average jumped up to 6.9 quarts per 1,000 at 55 miles an hour. The latter amount varied greatly, however, in the different machines, some showing as low as two quarts per 1,000 at the higher speed and others jumping to around 19! Using heavier oils at high speed | reduced consumption, it wasshown | by the tests, but this saving in oil was at the expense of a loss of 7 percent in gasoline mileage. Greater internal friction caused by the heavier oil is held responsi- ble -for the drop in gasoline mile- age.

High-speed driving was found to be more expensive from the gaso- line-consumption stand-point, also. Miles per gallon averaged from 12.94 to 13.13 at 30 miles an hour, and from 10.24 to 11.08 at the high- er rate. GISH-DRESSER T0 SHOW LAST “Florodora Girl” Will Be Attraction Tomorrow at Capitol | “One Romantic Night,” with Lil- lian Gish and Marie Dressler in leading roles, will be shown for the last times tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre. “The Florodora Girl” will b2 the featured attraction to- morrow night. In “One Romantic Night,” one of the scenes calls for the comti- | most | nental waltz. This waltz, graceful of all ballroom dances, is the only one, it seems, that Holly- wood's “extras” have difficulty in doing correctly. | Swayed Their Bodies At the United Artists’ studios, Hollywood, where Director Paul L. Stein, wasted considerable teaching the jazz-wise extras the proper way to waltz, the tendency |of the “atmosphere” players was to | sway their bodies and turn, where- as the continental waltz is formal, with no side or backward moves. Finally, a Russian, who was once a high officer in the Imperial | Guard, volunteered to serve as a teacher. | Care Taken by Director A | 'This little incident demonstrates the great care taken by Stein in | reproducing the graceful spirit of the celebrated Molnar comedy-dra- | ma. & | With Miss Gish and Miss Dress- ler in the ccast' are Rod La Rocque, Conrad Nagel, O.
