Greyhound’s New Super-Coaches
Now in Service Between Tulsa,
Oklahoma City and Amarillo
Page Thnw
KELTON Male Tourney Too Tough for Babe
Greyhound’s new Super-coaches are being placed into operation as
ist as they can be secured from the factory.
Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Amarillo and the cities in between are among
le first in the Southwest to have Super-coach service.
Greyhound’s Super-coaches are so utterly different from any previous
pc bus used in the industry that they involve radical departures in
| Almost every detail.
[ The most important single change has been the placing of the motor
&! the rear of the bus. This arrangement means quieter operation, less
Vibration and complete absence of exhaust fumes. It also gives more
||pace for passengers and adds to the riding comfort.
U Another noticeable feature is the new high, comfort level for pas-
ipengers. It is above the vibration line and permits passengers to look
fver the tops of passing private cars.
Special consideration has been given to the baggage space. Two large
impartments, water tight and dust proof, have been built under the
loor of the coach for suitcases, trunks and large parcels. The baggage
•ack on the roof has been eliminated.
The interior is modernistic and luxurious. A new system of lighting
consists of a continuous circle of frosted glass tubing running entirely
around the ceiling.
Deeply-cushioned individual chairs have been entirely redesigned for
P8** in the new Super-coach. 1'hey can be made to recline in four optional
post*ions for sightseeing, reading, relaxation or sleep.
Greyhound’s new Super-coaches are modern and different, but in
every respect they adhere strictly to the high traditions of safety and
reliability which Greyhound has established in its nation-wide system.
fMosf Valuable Commodity
In World Controlled By
Texas Rail Commission
BY RICHARD M. MORE HEAD
| United Press Staff Correspondent
PORT WORTH, (UP)—Three men
members of the Texas railroad
ommlssion — who administer regu-
latory laws for the world’s greatest
Oil supply, control probably the
nost valuable commodity in the
world.
’The three men are elected by
exas’ 1,000,000 voters and the term
[six years, although all have serv-
more than a single term. Chalr-
an of the commission now is C. V.
rell, and members are Col. Ernest
Thompson and Lon A. Smith.
Once each month they issue a
ral order, authorizing each of
Ihe state’s 70,000 wells its prorata
►hare of oil to be produced during
[te following month. The estimate
•based on market demand, as es-
timated by the United States Bureau
j>f Mines and on the amount of oil
In storage.
"In fact, so far has state control
advanced that the National Congress
this June saw fit to extend the life
of the statute for two years only,
indicating that at the end of that
period further necessity for federal
assistance would exist no longer.”
While Texas holds the balance of
power for oil In the United States
— and indirectly for the world — the
lack of petroleum may help Europe
keep its peace, said Thompson, a
colonel during the World War.
The mechanized armies of the
world need oil — which makes gaso-
line for airplanes, tanks and trac-
tors. The navies need crude oil for
fuel.
Just how important is the oil In-
dustry In helping keep peace prob-
ably will be contained In the report
which American delegates to the
World Petroleum Congress will make
I to
Secretary of State Cordell Hull.

AMES, Iowa — J. Leon Prenn, 23,
curly-haired chemistry student at
Iowa State College, believes he has
perfected a "poison gas” that des-
troys gas masks as efficiently as It.
kills human beings.
prcnn. wnose home is in New York
City, holds a commission as second
lieutenant in the U. S. Army Ord-
nance Department.
The gas can be manufactured
cheaply from the waste products of
copper and zinc smelters, oil refin-
eries and common salt, he said.
Prenn declared the gas is a com-
bination of mustard gas and pros-
gene, two lethal weapons of the
World War, plus an unnamed in-
gredient which removes the soda-
lime element used in all present
day gas masks.
Without the soda lime in the mask.
Prenn said, the poison gas will reach
the lungs more quickly, causing
death.
J . He declared that since the United
States has the only large deposits
of sulphur dioxide In the world that
are isolated enough to permit the
manufacture of such a gas, there
is little chance for any other nation
to make use of the process.
I He said poison gases of this type
keep only a few months and must be
manufactured shortly before use.
