QUAIL SPEED TIMED
WITH SPEEDOMETER
Quail, which hunters have always
described as “shooting up like bul
lets,” do not fly as fast as their
startling whirr of wings wrould indi
cate, an investigator has discovered
after trying days of racing the game
birds in his automobile.
Donald D. McLean, of the Cali
forinia Fish and Game Department,
has informed the American Game
Association that the greatest burst
of speed he was able to time with his
speedometer was 58 miles an hour.
The average ‘cruising” time was
around 40 miles an hour, he stated.
GREAT WHALING DRAMA
IS FILMED IN STORM
Filming a storm at sea offers ob
stacles enough but when it comes to
recording one aboard a pitching sail
ing vessel, such as was necessary in
the making of ‘Moby Dick,’ the War
ner Brothers picture, starring John
Barrymore, and coming to the Royal
Theatre next Sunday and Monday, it
tests the courage of cameraman and
crew.
The good ship “Mary Ann," con
verted into an 1840 whaler for the
occasion, cruised about the Pacific
for some days before the storm the
weather man had promised appeared
over the calm Pacific. In the story
the typhoon, behind which the fabled
white whale was said to travel, oc
curs in the China Seas, but ns that is
a part of the Pacific and all of the
Pacific looks alike in a storm, the
scene was filmed off the California
coast.
Almost every member of the cast
and picture crew had a touch of sea
sickness before these sequences were
complete. The little whaler was han
dled roughly by a sullen ocean and at
times cameras and casts were in dan
ger of being washed away. Deep in
the cabin of the ship was buried the
recording apparatus, catching each
swishing wave and each sound of the
wind through the rigging.
Mr. Barrymore chose Joan Bennett
for the leading role oposite him in
this picture and Lloyd Hughes, No
ble Johnson, Jack Curtis, Walter
Long and William Whaling are char
acters in the cast. Lloyd Bacon di
rected. 1

Like Tea . . . the best Gasoline
is Blended
EVFN the Japanese maiden who
laboriously picks the tea leaves
knows that before you sip the delicate
beverage from your cup, leaves of an
other type of tea must be added, for
the best teas invariably are blended.
When the tea merchant takes a
quantity of Japanese tea, a bit of
China tea, and a touch of Ceylonese, '
then blends them according to the I
dictates of his expert knowledge, he 5
parallels the making of CONOCO
Gasoline. For this is a blended gasoline.
It is blended because this is the only
method which brings together in one
fuel the desirable properties of several
types of gasoline. No one type of gaso
line can contain them alL
CONOCO refiners use: Natural
Gasoline, lor quick itartmg; Straight
run Gasoline, for power and long
mileage; Cracked Gasoline, for its
anti-knock properties.
Thcte is no secret formula covering
the elements which compose this
triple-test gasoline. The secret is in the
knowledge behind the blending.
Knowing how makes one tea blend
better than all others... and knowing
' how places one gasoline in a distinct
I quality class. Experience the perform
* ance advantages of CONOCO Bal
anced-Blend Gasoline. You’ll find it
wherever the CONOCO Red Trian
gle is displayed.
