wndUn of measures and gasoline pumta
fcr denier nnd Rarage employe. According
w an wtlmate of Chief John Vlrdln, of the
. Bureau of Wclhl and Measures.
If tho aatontobtlUta lots that much, tho
tramp martufactnrera reply, It Roea oft In
' minor la upltled out In automoblla wrecks
it la drunk by rlotoun chautteura and their
onipanloiM on Joy rldea.
"Don't let Chief Vlrdln ciro you," wild
' a riilfc'delphln, agent of n hump mnnufac-
torer today. "There la no doubt soma losn
if e-aaollne to nutomobllltta, but It h qua-
tlonable whether Urn nmoont reaches any-
where- near that much. At any rate. It la
net lout through tha patented pump. It
may vo aioien oj bih !&.,. uut it
Is doubtfnl If they could ret away with that
touch."
nUNKS FIGURE TOO HlOtX.
"I bellerc," nld 3. P. OTfell. manager of
ti local Bates olUcn of 3. F. llowner & Co.,
tumt) mantifncturcra, "that Chief Vlrdln'o
Svures are cxaggerntcd. I like to aeo thu
chief show tho pcoplo that ha Is on tho Job,
but In thin cano I bellem most of hla Ac
cr and reporta are principally for that
Burpo-"
"There la a loss to tho nutomobltlst of
from ono to 4V& cubic Inches of gasoline.
Ber gallon.' aascrtcd Chief Vlrdln. 'an
II M. K per cent of tho gasollno sold was
abort aeven cubic Inchea per gallon. That
was probably due, however, to tho fact
that for thirty . yenrs prior thereto thero
wsa a lack of Inspection. Now that there
b more auperrlaloti. the loss una been
"greatly diminished; but not ns much aa It
will b. especially ir I can (jet tho help
of tha nutomoblllatn themselves."
Th help that Chief Vlrdln wanta la n
rfport from each nufomoblllat whenever he
finds himself gottlnc nhort measure He
can tell when ho la being cheated. Chief
Vlrdln roya. If ho will always carry In his
car a measuring stick marked off to accord
with the quantity of gasoline his tank will
hold. I3y dipping this stick Into the tank
'after the gasoline has been poured In he
can seo whether It cornea ono gallon high
or fifteen gallon high. And when he 'j.i.i
'Jess than what ho la naked to pay for, he
should call up tho Ilureau of Weights nnd
Ktasurea Immediately nnd nn Inspector will
be sent out to nettle the question.
"He should report tho shortage," Bald
Chief Vlrdln, "nnd not merely request that
at get full measure."
CAUSE OF LOSS
"Another way tho automobile Is
cheated," said Chief Vlrdln. "la when Kaso
llno Is pumped Into his tank from a point
below It. Ho loses tho nmount of gasoline
that remains In tho hose between tho pump
and his tank. Ho should see that this Is
drained out each time.
"Still another accounting1 for loss la In
the faulty Installation of pumps by garage
,Trners and dealers. Sometimes the pipes
,;cennectlnB tho pump with tho tank back
;tnJer the garage Is Installed ao that there
.'are several JotntR In the pipe line as It coes
, 'up and down and around Joists nnd walls.
'The pump nnd tho big tank should be con-
.back from tho pump to tho tank."
.- iChlef Vlrdln explained that this pipe
irtould never be laid so that gas pockets
j,lll bo found In It, causing tho nutomo
bllUt to pay for vapor Instead of gasoline.
,If the pipe lias sections that are laid up
nd down, llko tho loiter "W" for Instance,
.'(is pockets will form In tho parts of the
'pipe corresponding to tho left hand strokes
.of that letter If the movement of tho gnso
'Jlno Is from left to right when It Is being
'pumped. When the pump begins to pull tho
gasollno from the tank these pockets of
gas are pulled along with tho gasoline nnd
etcapo Into the nlr when they reach the
'automobile tank, while the pump' resistors
. .tho gas.
WATCH nEOISTEItl
"The gasoline purchaser," said Chlot
Vlrdln, "shoutld also see to It that the .man
handling the pump turns the crank until
tha cogbar hits tho top and comes down to
'hit the bottom on each gallon pumped.
When tho cogbar docs not go nil the way to
the bottom or to the top, the purchaser gets
only a part of n gallon, while the pump
registers for him and he pays for a full
gallon."
Manager O'Xell. of the Bowser Company,
and E'M, Denton, director of sales of tho
Wayne Oil Tank nnd Pump Company, are
( among tho local dealers In pumps who
deny that the loss of gasoline Is through
Us use of the patented gasollno pump.
"Wo are manufacturing and selling
Pumps now," said O'N'ell, "that are as no
eurate and as proof ngalnst.loss as the
lUeet cash register. Wo are Installing
mpt of them ourselves. If there Is an In
clination on the part of dealers to cheat
Which I doubt Is as extensive as Chief Vlr
dln believes It Is they cannot do It by the
Manipulation of our pumps. And If the
Pump should happen to be faulty, the dialer
nearly always the one that loses, and
not the consumer.
-i'i?,un,ps nre now ma(!e ,hat a sallon
nl,n.t reslter' unless theo rank la turned
until the cogbar touches the top and the
-bottom of the shaft.,
"They will register even a quart, and the
niira amount of gasoline pumped la shown

" mlleago covered by an automobile.
