Cracking Process Gus Beat.
Many lending chemical and au-" tomotive engineers in America are recommending gasoline made under the cracking process as the best motor fuel.
Engineers have found that specific density and distillation range tests do not give a true in- dication of the gasoline's value.

Mary cities in Florida have put a ban on solid rubber tyres. It is said, that this rule was nindo effec- tive as "solid rubber tyres caused ruts in roads during wet weather. Few streets or highways in this state are constructed with rock or concrete base.

Judges Must Drive,
In Silicin, where judges and mag- istrates are not wealthy enough to own authomobiles, special lesso119 are given to acquaint" them with traffic conditions. From their los sons, the judges learned how easily traffic laws are broken.
Want New Colour for Ethyl Gas.
U.S. Government officials have recommended that all tetra-ethyl- lend gasoline be coloiired, a distinc tive shade so that it will not be mis- taken for the ordinary product. This will do away with all likeli- hood that the tetra-ethyl-lend gaso- line may be used for cleaning.
Constant Improvement... Kansas will have 8640 miles of paved highway in 1940, according to Walter Van Buck, state, highway engineer. This estimate Was made by considering the amount of available funds that Kansas will have during the next 14 years to spend for road Improvement.
LOWER FORD PRICES.
HIGHER QUALITY.
A graphic and illuminating.ex- ample of how the motoring public. benefits in economical transporta- tion through volume output, is found in a review just made of production reports and price lists of the Ford Motor Co., covering the last six years during which the company has been building more than a million cars and trucks annually.
The outstanding feature. 90 far as the car buyer is concerned, is embodied in two items. One shows that all há-ic principles f the car have been maintained and in addition many improvements and refinements have been effect- ed. The other item shows that there have been eight reductions in the prices of closed cars, and seven in the prices of open cars.
Under the latest reduction, which became effective on Feb. 11th, this year, any one of the present day Ford closed cars can he murchased for less money than it cost to by an open Ford car of relative sizó in 1920. As an illustration. early in 1920, before the company reached more than million a your production, a Ford Two passengers run about, cost the purchaser $30 more than it engs today to buy a Ford Tudor Sedan, for five pussongers, con- plote with starter and demount- jublo rims...
The extent of the reductions made during the six-year period are rather remarkable, as the following comparison of to-day's prices with those of 1920 botir i.ob. Detroit show:
