The Cost of the fuel along the route ranged from 7 cents to 13 cents a gallon i or. Henders on found that kerosene i increased the motor s efficiency. This he discovered was due to the fact that the new fuel has a. Higher heat unit than gasoline. The explosive Power however is not greater. It took less kerosene vapor than gasoline in the cylinders. No Carbon developed in the motor but on the contrary the new fuel prevented the forming of Carbon deposits. The trip with kerosene As fuel was vital to the automobile Industry by reason of the fact that gasoline Naa mounted High in Price and engineers were puzzled As to the outcome. It kept Many people from enjoying tha fresh air and pleasure to be a of motoring. Some manufacturers saw harm to the injury.

An announcement that will come somewhat As a Surprise to the Trade of Winnipeg is that made by the Alco company which is As follows the Board of directors of this com Pany have decided to discontinue the manufacture of automobiles and trucks. The company wishes to assure All own ers of alb vehicles that arrangements will be made to furnish them with re pair parts for a period of not less than five years and will fulfil in every re Spect its obligations Given under guar Antee to its customers photograph of employees. To represent the Industrial grow Mol greater Detroit a mass picture or 000 employees of the Packard motor car company is included in an educational film being prepared under direction of the Detroit Board of. Com Merce in order to permit taking the picture in the company time the Packard officials advanced the regular saturday closing hour by 20 minutes. The time Cost the company in round figures without taking into a co set thl value of the time lost in the course of making preparations. Approximately 200 foremen and depart ment Heads were notified of the plans and Given detailed instructions the camera was focussed from a raised platform thus giving an Excel Lent View of the mass of workers As they poured from the factory. A then thrown upon the screen the picture will show the moving mass m the immediate foreground with a Back ground formed by a building 940 feet Long one of 30 structures which make up the a Okaris degree of Success of the Experiment. The latter upon the cheapness of motoring with the new fuel. He said Edward Payson Weston is said to have worn out fully 20 pairs of shoes in his1 coast to coast trip five years ago. This was not less than ?100 expense. So at ?6.50 a passenger for fuel it is cheaper to drive an Automo bile to the coast than it. Is to walk or travel on a Railroad. In one spot we drove 25 Miles on second gear owing to Road conditions. That meant the motor was revolving about three times As fast As on High gear yet at this Mendouse Speed the kerosene was turned into vapor effectively slower Speed. The problem of vapor izing kerosene is the thing that barred it As a fuel previous to our Success in the higher altitudes where the average motor car loses 2 per cent of its Power for every _ 0.0 upward it tra vels our cars showed no loss of Power whatever. At feet the average ear loses 25 per cent of its Power. We have driven in High altitudes before and have measured loss accurately but we were surprised to find no such occurrence on this the trip encountered every possible Sand mountains Rocky passes High altitudes dry Des Ert temperatures and d amp Ness of the Low country. The car however failed to develop the least untoward conflict. The results Are a. Powerful tribute to the advanced engineering principles of or. Henderson the first american. Designer to adopt kerosene As a fuel equip cars optionally with the Harroun Carburettor which utilizes either kerosene or gasoline.
