THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES Elsewhere in today's Empire appears a series of brief articles describing the careers and qualifications ! of the Democratic candidates for Territoriaul and Di- visional offices in next Tuesday’s election. In pre- paring these brief biographies we were struck with the very woman who are their party’s nominees for office. At the head of the ticket stands the name of Anthony J. Dimond, Alaska’s Delegate to Congress since 1933, Tony Dimond requires no encomium from us at this time to convince the electorate of | Alaska of his very great qualities as the Torrllorvs' representative in Washington. He has accomplished | more for Alaska than any other man ever did, He deserves, on merit, the vote of every man and woman | in Alaska irrespective of party, Of his Republican | opponent, Cash Cole, the most that can be said is| that the difference between Dimond and Cole is the difference between diamond and coal. Frank Boyle, whose reelection as Territorial Audi- tor by a resounding majority is conceded even by the most rabid Republicans, has served Alaska dili- gently and faithfully since he first went into office | in 1933. Although the tasks of his office have in- high calibre of the eight men and one| been a tireless worker, understands the needs of the Territory and is worthy of everyone's vote Tuesday. His opponent, Frank Branes, has been running as Wrangell's home town boy and has been talking about doing something if he is elected to adjust representations to favor the small communities. Walker, by contrast, has always felt himself a rep- resentative of the whole Division, from Skagway to Hyder, He has felt that every voter in the Division is a conctituent of his—not just his fellow townsman —and that his aim should be, not the promotion of Ketchikan. or Wrangell, or Juneau or any other town, but the best interest of the whole Division and the Territory, Democratic candidates for Representatives from the First Division are John McCormick, James V. Davis, Allen Shattuck and Crystal Snow Jenne. Together th2y comprise a representative cross-section of the good people of Southeast Alaska. McCormick and Davis were in the last Legislature. Shattuck has served before in both House and Senate, Mrs. Jenne has been an active and public-spirited citizen of Alaska for many, many years. Compare these ‘(our with their Republican opponents, Willam L. Mrs. Mildred Hermann, Steve Vukovich Williams. - But then, of course, there are nany Republicans in Southeast Alaska from | which to choose. You have often heard the admonition to “vote it straight.” Sometimes this phrase is urged upon the people in an effort to carry into office, some weak | candidates along with the strong. Not so this time. There are no weak candidates on the Democratic ticket, If you vote it straight you will be yoting | for the better candidate for each office. Vote Democratic on Tuesday, and vote it straight. Octane Comfort (New York Times) If the individual British plane is superior to the | German in performance, it is chiefly because of superior fuel and lubricating oil. Gasoline is rated | according to its “octane number,” which is a meas- (ure of anti-knock value. A powerful engine is a high-compression engine. When explosive mixtures |are highly compressed they detonate spontaneously and prematurely, whereupon we speak of “knocking.” Air. speeds of 250, 300 and 400 miles an hour are | impossible with a gasoline that cannot stand high | compression, The *“octane number” is based pri- marily on two pure materials, iso-octane and heptane. | Iso-octane is rated at 100 because it does not knock |in a standard engine; heptane is rated at zero be- cause it knocks most readily. Regular gasoline knocks about as much as 70 percent iso-octane in heptane, so that its octane number is 70. What all this means is shown by recent devel- opments. In 1928 gasoline of about 60 octane rating was generally used in military planes. As the oc- tane numbers rose the engines gave more and more power for each pound of weight. Thus a rise in the octane number from 60 to 87 means 33 perceat more power and a further rise from 87 to 100, an- other increase in power of 30 percent. Translate | this into practical flying and we behold take-off distances reduced 20 percent and climbing speeds in- creased 40 percent, which in turn means that 1,200 pounds in gasoline can be dispensed with in large machines to carry an equivalent weight of bombs. The best aviation gasoline that Germany can pro- duce is reported to be that obtained by causing | At o THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, SEPT. 6 1940 SEPTEMBER 1940 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEPTEMBER 6 Billy Orme Mrs. T.

Some of the German planes line with an octane rating as low as 67. gasolines have a rating of well above 100. Airplanes must be lubricated, and the lubricat- ing oil required for gasoline with an octane number of 100 must be much better than that required for a gasoline of 87 rating. On the average about eight gallons of lubricating oil are required for each flying- {hour, Germany is unable to produce the volume of Jumbricating oils needed to keep in good condition engines that burn 100-octane gasoline, ] The vast public that prays for the victory of Great Britain can extract much comfort from octane numbers. We in particular have reason to rejoice |at the performance of British pursuit planes and | bombers, For it is a performance which our petrol- eum chemists have made possible. Every British plane is driven and lubricated by fuel and lubricants made either in this country or in British refineries with American technical aid.
