DRIVERS "GIVE IT THE GUN" TO
DELIVER 800 GALLONS FOR
ST. LOUIS "ROBIN"
The St. Louis Robin has already
made aviation history, but were it not
for the humble part played in its dra-
matic exploit by a specially equipped
Chevrolet six cylinder truck, it is
possible that the story might have
been different.
A special brand of gasoline was
being used in the Robin, and on Sun-
day, July 21, the flyer's second Sunday
aloft, the supply was nearly diminish-
ed.
The nearest point where an addi-
tional supply could be obtained was
Tulsa, Oklahoma but the train which
started forth immediately from that
point with a new supply was unfortu-
nately blocked off by a wreck ahead.
News of the mishap was sent on to
St. Louis and the reply came back,
"Send it by truck".
So a huge tank containing 800
gallons, was placed on the sturdy Chev-
rolet, and they were ordered to "give it
the gun".
Now, speeding a truck is alright
under most conditions, but never so if
it is a transport for gasoline. At a
speed barely within the bounds of safe-
ty, however, the truck .started on its
450 mile trip late Sunday afternoon
over a road that was mostly gravel.
Shortly after noon the next day the
trip was completed without mishap.
Amid cheers the Chevrolet pulled up
along side the refueling plane, and
thus was obviated the necessity of
switching brands of fuel—a step that
was feared both by the pilots and the
designer of the Robin's engine.
An interesting point in the part
played by the Chevrolet was that it
had been run only 15 miles before it
undertook its emergency mission.
Nevertheless, according to the drivers,
not once did the motor heat up, nor
have there been any consequent engine
difficulties.

When the average motorist reads
that the automotive industry in 1928
used 10,880,000,000 gollons of gasoline
and that thirty-three years ago it was
diTeiult to dispose of gasoline—almost
im;. - ible to give it-away—he thinks
he is i tiading a fairy tale.
Yet that is exactly the case. Auto-
mobiles in this country la it year con-
sumed 80 per cent of the entire motor
fuel production. How much was used
in 1896 can be imagined when you
know that there were only four gaso-
line motor cars in the United States.
It was not until ten years later—
about 1906—that production of the
automobile had become large enough
to absorb the surplus production of
gasoline. From that time, the petrole-
um industry turned toward the refin-
ing of gasoline as its major product.
The amazing success of both the
automobile and the petroleum industry
would have been impossible without
each other. Research and development
in one has helped the other.
NEW YORK'S NEW AUTO
ACCIDENT LAW MODERN
What is believed by a good many
traffic law students to be the moat
perfect possible automobile accident
legislation is contained in a new New
York law effective next September.
When a motorist involved in an acci-
dent is found guilty of reckless or fast
driving, driving while intoxicated or
doing a "hit-and-run," he is required
to give proof of his ability to satisfy
any judgment that may be lodge
against him up to $10,000 and $1,000
property damage. Failing to provide
this, his car cancelled.
Further, under the new statute,if a
motorist loses a civil suit growing out
of an automobile accident, even tho he
has committed none of the violations
enumerated, his license is suspended
• \til he meets the judgement and
rives proof, thru a bond or cash or
insurance policy, that he will be finan-
cially responsible for any future acci-
dent in which he may figure.
MAKE IT THE GOAT
THE AUTO INN
C. LUTHER, Prop.
PHONE 99
In every community there is a group,
sometimes small, sometimes large, that
would like to make the newspapers and
the editor the goat every time some-
thing: comes up they don't like. Every
editor hears such remarks as," I would
like to be running a newspaper in this
town for about a month." Even a news-
paper can't please everybody nor can
any other person or group. Yet every
time the school board, the chamber of
commerce or the city council does
something these individuals don't like
they expect the newspaper to "blow
'em up." Not many of them, however,
would go before these bodies and maka
a complaint, much less make a fair and
square statement over their signatures
in the columns of the paper. Yet the
newspaper is expected to air their
personal grievance, taking the respon-
sibility and the blackfire, if any.
