GOVERNORS OF MANY
. STATES BACKING UP
Governor after Governor is coming out pronouncedly f_or
real road programs for the immediate future. Governor Davis,
at a Virginia good roads convention the other day, received an
ovation when he put'forward the proposition of raising $25,000,-
000 for the building of 1,200 mile of State highways. He frankly
admitted that he wanted to be known as the ‘‘Good Roads Gov
ernor of Virginia.''
Retiring Governor Capper, who next takes a seat in the
United States Senate, out in Kansas thus expressed himself ;
“Cheap and quick motor transportation of products frem and to
the farm is coming. It is to be our next big development. High
way building in our agricultural States offers the way for em
ploying thousands of our men who have seen and have repaired
and have rebuilt many of the magnificent-roads of Franece.>
New Jersey's Governor aiso comes to the Senate when the next Con
gress méets in Washington. Senator-elect Walter K. Edge is avowedly a
bellever In nation-wide roads development, recently putting it into these
words: “The Federal Government is in a better position than any State
or combination of States to assume a directing generalship over highways
of the whole nation, suplying the missing links here and there and direct
ing new extension In such a way that available undeveloped land will be
opened up to the touch of agriculture. Furthermore, the nation’s enormous
aggregate expenditure on roads will be divested of that wanton waste which
is the project of gross mismanagement and selfish motives.”
Governor Robertson, of Oklahoma, hopes to induce the Legislatare to
adopt a $40,000,000 bond issue for the purpose of supplying the Indian
State with a connected road system. It is his idea that interest and sink
ing fund can be met chiefly through the production tax from ofl and the
registration tax from automobiles.
Chalrman George C. Diehl, of the A. A. A. good roads board, predicts
that the present Congress will add substantialy to the present Federal ald
road act, while the next Congress will have squarely placed before it the
proposition of a Federal system.
“Just as we have advanced from town to county and then State road
building, 1t 18 inevitable that next we should follow up these State systems
by the linking together of a Federal plan,” asserts Mr. Diehl, who has
probably attended as many highways meetings of one kind and another in
the United States as any other man. Mr. Diehl, who is enginer of Erie
County, New York, is contending for a 24-foot road from Buffalo to Albany
to the metrop:lis, which would mean a substantial widening and strength
ening of the present main artery across the Empire State,

HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERIVAN — A NOWBEE!’ loor I‘OOEIO wno rning —— s}“‘“*}“ JANUARY 26, 1919,
The success of the Hanson Motor Com
pany in its first year of manufacturing
Hanson Sixes was the talk of Automo
bile Row last week. George Hansor’'s
dream, a b‘f Atlanta factory to make
real automobiles, had materialized so
uietly that its actual results were not
known te everybody in the gasoline
world,
Somathln(! of the big lhlnr the Han
son Motor Company did in 1918 was dis
cloged last week following a meeting of
its stockholers. It was voted to In
crease the capital stock to $1,000,000 and
erect new bulklln)fn to double the ca
m;clty of the big plant out opposite Fort
cPhérson, A handsome dividend was
declared.
The Hanson Six ma,y be seen on the
roads all over Georgla now, agencies
having been established in every 'pu.rt of
the BState. They are enthuslastie over
the car, too, and repjort a ready demand
for them. Orders are on hand at the
factory for 800 cars, and applications
were reported on file from many pro.?nc‘
tive representatives. The new factory
will provide a capacity of tem cars a
day, which is considered neceanrg to
meet the demand. It ls expected to
complete the additions to the plant
within sixty days.
The officers of the oomun% were re
elected, as follows: George W, Hanson,
president; J. A. Sasser, vice president
ana Arthur Burdett, secretary and
treasurer. The following directors were
chosen: St. Klmo Massengale, Dr. N. Z
Anderson, Covington; O. H. Arnoll,
Athens, and A. P. Phillips, W, H. Brit

GENTLEMEN: »~ i

- Thisistocertify that we conducted an efficiency- test of 90% Benzol (Motor Fuel) in the Testing Lab
oratory of the Automobile Club of America. This test was to determine the relative efficiency of this 90%
Benzol (Motor Fuel) over commercial gasoline. The results that we found praves this 90% Benzol (Motor
Fuel) to be approximately 18% more efficient as Motor Fuel at'2ooo revolutions than the average commer
cial gasoline in use today. We also determined that this 90% Benzol (Motor Fuel) showed an increase of
horsepower at every range of speed from 800 to 2000 revolutions per minute. The motor on which this test
‘was made, after being disassembled and the various parts examined to determine the amount of carbon de
_posit, showed practically no Benzol carbon at all, there being a slight deposit upon the exhaust valves and
the heads of the pistons whi¢h appeared to be a soot and was easily removed with a damp cloth. The spark
plugs were practically clean. The inlet valves had no carbon at all upon them. :
Most of the time this motor was run at an approximate speed of’looo revolutions per minute and dur
ing all this time the porformance of the motor was perfect.
. Yours very truly, ;
. . THE AUTOMOBILE CLUB OF AMERICA.
. : LABORATORY ENGINEER.
Another interesfing point is that while we have had considerable antagonism from our enémies in general,
the fact remains that the largest producers and sellers of gasoline in the United States have tried out Benzol,
in conjunction with gasoline, which is Woeo Pep, and have placed their orders for large quantities of Benzol to
be used in eonjunction with gasoline, and are using enormous quantities of it. We are indeed fortunate in con
trolling this territory, . 7
