THE GARDEN ISLAND. TUESDAY, MAY, 6, 1919 Home Economics Section of the Second Annual Territorial Fair At the Territorial Fair to be held in Honolulu from June 9th to 14th of this year, special attention is to be given the Home Economics Section. It is hoped that the people of Kauai will take great interest in preparing exhibits for this section, as this is a branch in which every one has an opportunity to compete and the re sults to be obtained will be of general benefit to all. Intending exhibitors will find below the rules governing exhibits; also the divisional and group classifications. Further particulars may be had on inquiry of Miss Elsie H. Wilcox or Mrs. Philip L. Rice, the local members of the committee. Rules 1. Exhibits must be at the Fair Grounds not later than 10 a. m., June 7, or in the case of perishable foods to which special days have been assign ed, by 10 a. m. of the appointed day. 2. Exhibits of cooked products must be accompanied by typewritten recipes and statements of cOBts. 3. No entrance fees will be charg ed; articles which the exhibitors wish to have sold should be marked with the price, and if sold, the proceeds will be turned over to the exhibitors by the Committee at the close of the Fair. No articles Bold may be remov ed until the close of the Fair except perishable foods, which may be re moved at tho discretion of the Com mittee. 4.

On July 31st; 1918, President Wilson ordered a committee appointed under the United States Fuel Administration to establish specifications and standards of test for gas oline supplied to the Government. This committee consisted of the United States Fuel Administration and representatives of the War and Navy Departments, the United States Shipping Board, the Director General of Railroads, the Bureau of Mines, and the Bureau of Standards. Standards were adopted for aviation gasoline (export, fighting and domestic) and for general motor use on land and sea. The Gravity Test Discarded The Government's Committee on Standardi zation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its report : "It will be noted that there are no grav ity limitations in the specifications for aviation gasoline, nor in the specifications for motor gasoline which are given later, for it has been found that gravity is of little or no value in de termining the quality of gasoline." The stand ards adopted by the United States Government are based on boiling points. Boiling Points the Real Test . Gasoline is known to the refiner as one mem ' ber of the petroleum family. He distinguishes each member of the family, not by gravity, but by boiling points. Gravity is a fleeting stand ard of test, but boiling points are unchanging in their value and always determine the quality of the product. Knowing them the refiner can keep his product uniform and reliable. What Is a Boiling Point? A boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize. In distilling a given quantity of gasoline the refiner ascertains at what point each 10 per cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap orated or distilled. In this way he determines what is known as the initial boiling point, as well as all intervening boiling points in the chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point. Boiling Points Tell the Story Boiling points determine the vaporizing and combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide the action of the gas developed from gasoline. They are the only true measure of gasoline value. An ideal gasoline has boiling points in a con tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too many low boiling points, otherwise the loss in storage by evaporation would be great. There must be just enough low boiling points to va porize freely and give easy starting. The higher boiling points are necessary for quick accelera tion, high power and long mileage. As combustion starts with the lowest boiling points and flashes on through the gas, the con tinuous chain of bcilinjj points from the low to the high is necessary for instantaneous, full-powered combustion. Only a straight-distilled, all-refinery gasoline can have the contin uous, uniform chain of boiling points. The United States Government Standard Specifications for Gasoline The United States Government standard specifications for gasoline are based on boiling points not gravity. Drafted as they were by impartial Government experts, they are gener ally considered.in the light of conditions today, as the most practical standard for gasoline. They insure an efficient and satisfactory gaso line and at the same time have due regard for the best utilization of our petroleum resources, and the maintenance of reasonable prices to the consumer. Red Crown Gasoline Conforms to United States Government Standard All Red Crown gasoline now being supplied in the Pacific Coast States is refined to con form to the United States Government Stand ard specifications. It is straight-distilled, all refinery gasoline having the full, uniform chain of boiling points necessary for full-powered, dependable gasoline: Low boiling points for easy starting, medium boiling points for quick, smooth acceleration, and high boiling points for power and mileage.
