WA8HINQTON, May 21. With tbs problem of gasoline supplies and priors agitating the nations millions of.motoi lets, the bureau of mint advances the suggestion that by j the mere complete eondenaation of still vapors at the petroleum reftntries I2e.eeo.000 gallon of the precious liquid fuel may be added yearly to the national output. A the result of a detailed Investigation. D. b. Dow, petroleum engineer of the bureau, estimates that tO.0M.OOO gallons bf gasoline were recovered from uncondensed atilt vapors at refineries In 1931. Application of the system to nil refineries would give a possible gasoline recovery by this method of 170.000, 000 gallons yearly. The calculations of the bureau of mine are based on results obtained In refinerlas whose general methods are more efficient than those employed in the hundreds of smaller skimming plants that have no recovery systems. It is assumed that In the less efficient skimming plants, located In sections where the supply of cold water, so essential for condenser use, la scare, greater recoveries could b made than In the large refineries studied. This should be especially true of Oklahoma, north Texas and Louisiana skimming plants, where summer temperatures are high and where cold water la scarce. A survey ot these plants. It Is believed, would show that their losses In uncon deneed still vapor would be much higher than In the plants where the studies of the bureau of mines were conducted.

Tlmpanogo cave le a unique and colorful gem of its kind. The air within remains at the same temperature the year round, that of from to to 6& degrees. Btalactitec and stalagmites of rare and original coloring festoon the Interior with such profusion that were It not for the guiding lights and a deep path cut across the floor, alt sense of direction would be lost In the bewildering labyrinth. Evidence that the stalactltlc formations are comparatively recent arises from the fact that the lime water cement whlcn composes the stalactltls columns has formed on the floor to a thickness of only two or three Inches. With only few exceptions, the stalactites are small. In the majority of cases hardly attaining that distinction, being but hollow crystals so delicate and numerous that they are but a fine network delicately chiseled into all conceivable twists and curls.

OUTPUT OF II. S. 4.. M) Atmospheric temperature is an important factor In the production of gasoline from uncondensed refinery vapors, It la found that during winter months, due to more complete condensation of the vapors, ths production of the "gas plant will fall off tossom extent An unusual example of this 1 a certain skimming plant which produce about (004 gallons of comprsa- slon gaaollne daily through the summer months but drop to as low as MO gal lons per day in the winter. Ordinarily. difference IS far less hut there is always a tendency for production to drop In cooler weather. The cost of installing recovery plants wtU necessarily vary with different plants depending on .local conditions, such as the distances between different stills which are sources of gas, the nature of in regard to sulphur congas especially tent, and the plant efficiency. However, cost of approximately 113 per gallon of gasoline (dally capacity) should be sufficient. The operating cost of the gas ..... ... plant Is relatively low. ; one-ha- Fork-Alpi- Fir$t Automobile I Sold by Radiophone The demand for cars now is so great they are ordering them by radio.

The phaeton was the first carriage to break away from the heavy, sprlnglesa vehicle which had previously distinguished traveling, and inaugurated an era of tight and fast vehicles.- - The phaeton eould be driven at what was, then, the reckless speed of fifteen miles an hour, end was the favored tneana of transportation of th young bloods of th day, who her found a conveyance that could give them a thrill. It was a smart, slim carriage, able to dash around corners at high speed and to dart through narrow streets that were Impassable for the lumbering, clumsy coaches of' the time. The bodies of these first phaetons were swung high above the under-carriaby delicate support In fact, th forerunner of th modem touring car was little more than a email chair varnished, and sometimes' painted, fixed to four post which e, , ge roee from the axle shafts. In 1131 the phaeton received the Indorsement of royalty, when one was ordered for the then Prince Victoria. This conveyance was a favorite with th royal family, according to O. A- - Thrupp, th English coach historian, because of its style, elegance. Along In 1(24, David Davies, the famous coach builder of Albany, England, built a cab phaeton, with open carriage doorway. This was very near the ground, and the driving seat low the whole body being slung upon elliptic springs. This phaeton was a direct ancestor of th phaeton or the present-da- y motor lourtng body of 'i--' car. , . The smartness of th. phaeton made It a favorite of the automobile builders, and this vehicle, developed bv the English Ouaich builders,- has been followed In th newest mnehinea, which show a charm and gracefulness thai to th custom workmanship that teetlfy accompanies every operation, from the building of th body to the padding of the upholstery, end th application of the vami-4- , coats and color .. finishes that lest for decades. y.
