A new fuel called Nuoline was tested at the West Side automobile school at 312 West Fifty-seventh Street with observers from Joining and Stro bridge schools. Inventor M Louis Clement supervised the test with associate Hubert Grogan and the secretary of state's local auto club official. A King Eight engine in shop instruction was used to run the experiment.
The piece covers Nuoline fuel tests improving engine performance with blue flame, cost estimates, and potential price effects. It also surveys motorist liability in fatal crashes, noting a New York manslaughter case where owner and chauffeur were convicted despite lack of direct evidence linking the owner to the fatal act. Additional sections note Oklahoma prison road labor on the Ozark trail and Harmon county holdbacks, plus league salary adjustments and Portland club cut acceptance.
