What 39 vyears ~ have taught us about making gasoline There is no truly “anti- knock” motor fuel being BILL WOULD STOP MARYLAND BETTING Measure, Which Is Ready ifir Introduction, Provides Prison Sentance. ANNAPOLIS, Md., February 6.—The operation of mutuel machines and gam- bling of all kinds in or around the race tracks of the State would be prohibited after June 1 by a bill which has been | prepared for introduction in the House { of Delegates, it became known here today. Heavy fine and mandatory pris- on sentence are provided for violations. The measure was drafted for Dele- gate Irvin C. Hamilton of Alleghany County, who is president of the Mary- land Federation of Labor. The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey was a pioneer in refining gasoline. Since the first automobile was built ' “Standard” has been—both in quantity and quality—the leader in the refining and supplying of this necessary motor fuel. This company. has spent millions of dollars in research work and in the development of new and better pro-- cesses of making gasoline. What has been the result? Just this—that you can depend on finding in every gallon of “Standard” Gasoline these qualities: Easy Starting—even in coldest weather. chlz Acceler ation—a necessary thing in traffic. S e - Power, Steady and Reliable—tor bill climbing and long, hard runs. .M ileage Eficiency—proved over and over by road testsin every type of car. Safety to Motor—a iitel that cannot possibly injure your sold, except at a premium price. The bestknown “anti- knock” fuel is ESSO, the /Giant Power Fuel. It is ac- knowledged by engineers to beina class by itself—a gen- uine “anti-knock” fuel, spe- cially made for use in high comptession motors, and in motors that are carbonized from long usage. ESSO costs more to make and has to be sold at a small premium over “Standard” Gasoline, but ESSO givesan extra engine performance never before experienced. On sale only at the Silver ESSO Pumps.with the ESSO Globes. engine. Complete Combustion—s tuel that burns cleanly, leaving practically no carbon, and burns completely, leavingno *‘loose ends”’ to seep down end dilute the motor oil in the crank case, S Uniformity—you can set your carburetor on “‘Standard”’ and forget it, for every gallon is like every other gallon wherever you may buy it. A vailability— “Standard’’ Gasoline has the further advantage of being easily obtaintd, as our Red *‘Standard”’ Pumps are conveniently locnted!throughout the length and breadth of this state. { i This rare combination of \qualities makes “Standard” the best all-’round gasoline ol the market. The fact that it outsells any other brand of gasoline in this state by more than 2 to 1, is evidence of ',;its superior qualities. Use “Standard” Gasoline and you will get unvarying fuel satisfaction. Bowling Tourney for | ewspapermen’s Championship Attracts Many Duckpinners had the solid backing of the State Fed- eration as well as e American Fed- eration of Labor. Under the bill the officers of the corporations owning race tracks are held jointly responsible for enforcement for the anti-betting law. Bettors are liable to a fine of $5,000 and a year in jail. ‘The license of the track where the offense occurred also would be sus- pended for a year. The text of the bill follows: “On and after June 1, 1929, it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to set up any machine for the purpose of recelving or paying money on horse races at any of the racing tracks in the State of Maryland. 1t shall also be unlawful for an individ- ual in or around any race track to ac- cept any money for the purpose of bet- ting on any horse race, and gambling of all kinds (as defined by Webster's Dic- tionary) is prohibited around any of the race tracks. “The officers of the corporation own- ing the race tracks shall be held joint- ly responsible for the enforcement of this section on the track controlled by them and shall be amenable to the penalties for any violation. “Any person or corporation violating the provisions of this section shall be subject, on conviction, to a fine of five He said it thousand dollars ($5,000) and be sen- b2 $SS< s AR s 20 % 2 253 SISO ST v | “STANDARD” GASOLINE i tenced to one year in jail, and the li- cense of the track where the offense took place shall be suspended for the term of one year.” Reports have been current since the present legislative session began that an anti-race track betting bill would be { Introduced, but the form and backing | were mot known. Mr. Hamilton said { he felt confident that his bill would b2 passed by the House. SKATING STARS MAY MEET.
