Daugherty we lad been a good political manager and because he knew how to pass out political jobs to party advantage. He was a good fellow, a mixer, a politician, That has been is way of accomplishing things. * Daugherty’s record, since he became attorney gen- , is one of consistent loss of the public's cases, until ie morale of the department of justice is at ebb level, To make Daugherty’s position worse, he and Fall have close friends in the Harding cabinet. * With that his record, Daugherty won't do to handle the of the public versus the private exploiters to recover The navy’s oil.

Whey must be insensible to certain amputations about to be made from the navy. ? Denby and Roosevelt lived up to expectations. Denby Wivided his time between football games, junkets and Wisits with gobs, and Roosevelt went in for after-dinner ®peeches and newspaper interviews. The navy ran itself. Denby signed away the naval oil reserves without really . ing what was in the paper prepared by former Sec- @etary Fall, it was brought out in his testimony before ie senate committee, while Roosevelt did not appreciate lopments enough to protest until it was all over. + It’s high time these gentlemen were giving up their to make way for men too smart to be the tools of ers, either innocently or otherwise.

Thousands already know the results this method gives them and now they cannot be induced to change. ‘“ It smooths out motors—actually adds im- provements as though the motor itself were im- proved, There's an added speed on the straightaway, a new snap in the pick-up—wonderfully appre- ciated in traffic. And increased power on hills enables you to take many grades on high that have always balked you in the past. These results—improvements that every mo- torist secks—are yours with a mere change of fuel. “They will come to any motorist who will use Union Non-Detonating Gasoline, unmixed with any other kind.

Without any single step, however, our fuel would not be Union Gasoline, for each step con- tributes largely to the result you get. The perfect chain of boiling points is of prime importance. The explosions of Union Gasoline are progressive and sustained—not crashing and instantaneous. That means smooth, even power —an uninterrupted flow. : That's what gives you the extra miles per hour to command, the added snap in the pick-up that makes it easy to escape congestion and the plus power on hills that eliminates so much shifting of gears. Here's new motoring pleasure for you. Here is, in effect, an improved motor. It’s yours in the same casy way that thousands of other motorists get it. Just fill your tank with Union Gasoline and use it unmixed with any other kind. Your first fifty miles will prove the finest fifty miles you have ever driven. Surely that’s a result worth trying to obtain.
