Anyhow that’s what her com- Mander says. Nevertheless all new ocean-going planes must, in future, carry a small reserve of gasoline, this being instantly available in @ Separate tank. | Such a supply would have meant every- thing to the PN-9-1. The commander says gas gave out suddenly and he was _ forced to come down on the water with a his engines stalled. A few quarts of gas, tin reserve, would have kept his engines going until he and his men were safely wn. _ Again, says he, his wireless became use- ‘Yess because he had run out of gas.

But for the fact that Rodgers and his men know the sea as well as they know the air, likely enough they would all be today in Davy Jones’ locker. i The promotion of Commander Rodgers sto be assistant chief of the navy’s bureau of aeronautics gives us the comfortable feeling that what he knows will not be lost to the country.

Indeed yes, cleanness in gasoline has everything to do with the value or miles you get in exchange for your motor-fuel money. Why? Consider these facts. The gasoline cleanness that really insures “more miles to the gallon” is unseen. You feel it in your motor. For it results in instant ignition at the spark, and complete “burning” or ex- plosion, with no wasted or unconsumed fuel. Your engine gets every ounce of power contained in each “charge.” Associated Gasoline is distilled by methods that provide ascientifically correct range or “chain” of boiling points, gradually rising from the lower or more “volatile” parts on up through the heavier or power- yielding parts.
