An Auto Trip

Three young men from Long Beach, Roy N. Carr, A. H. Jes- sen and L. J.

ous spring was practically worth less. March 2, of this year, the second act on the subject was approved by the president. It's going into effect was postponed six months in ordrr to give the Internal Revenue Bureau time to prepare new regulations. The new law has been called a wide open door" piece of, legislation.
 It is designed to afford the fullest and freest opportunity for the manufacture of denatur- ed alcohol. Its chief object is to encourage farmers to band themselves together for the man. ufacture of the new fuel as they do in Germany and France.
 It removes all the restrictions when operated, under the first law, to put the business in the hands of a monopoly-in the hands of the whiskey trust. So for no applications from farmers who desire to engage in the man. ufacture of the new fuel have reached the Internal Revenue Bureau. Many distilleries that were under the first law prevent ed from going into the new line of business have indicated that they intend to put in denaturing plants. Internal Revenue off cers seem to think the general introduction of the new fuel de- pends largely, if not altogether, on the price charged for it. As long as it costs as much as gaso- line the trade it is asserted, is likely to stick to gasoline. EX- periments made by the Govern ment within the last year show conclusively that the new fuel can be used advantageously in many of the industries.

 They went by way of Banning and Salton, and their greatest struggle was in getting around Salton sea, where there is no road and the desert is carved by innumerable arroyos. By dili- gent use of shovels the men were able to get across these, and at last found their way to Imperial.

DENATURED
 ALCOHOL
New Law Expected to Stimulate Manufacture of Raw Material

The new Federal law relating to the denaturingof alcohol went into effect on the first of this month. Great things are expect ed of it. Whether many of them will be realized remains to be seen. As matter of fact, the Governments efforts to encour- age the manufacture of denatur- ed alcohol has not been much of a success so far. During the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress there was a loud call from all sections of the country for the removal of the internal revenue tax from denatured al- cohol. 1t was represented to Congress that, with the tax talk en off denatured alcohol would take the place of gasoline and wood alcohol. Wonderful pie lures of what would be accom- piished in a short time were painted.
 In response to the public de- mand Congress passed the bill taking the tax off, and the Pres ident, with a good word for the legislation, signed the bill June Eth last year. Before issuing regulations under the new law the Commissioner of Internal Revenue took a trip to Europe to study the manufacture and use of the fuel there. He came back with glowing accounts of what Germany and France were doing. Everything looked encouraging until it was discovered that, only the big distillers could manufact- ure the fuel. Some of them did engage in making it, but, having a monopoly on the business, they fixed the price so high that the new fuel did not enter into com petition with gasoline or wood alcohol. The regulations pre- scribed by the international rev. enue were, moreover, so strict that the fuel was handled by only a few retail dealers.
 By the time Congress reassem- bled last December it was seen that the legislation of the previ-

B|G CHANGE IN CANAL
President Approves of Moving
 Panama Locks and Dams.
UPHOLDS COLONEL GOETHALS
Saving of S1o,ooo,0oo In Cost In Aeldi- tion to Better Sites and More Satis- factory Foundation For Locks Will Be Effected by Alteration.

Washington, Dec 2S.-The president has approved the recommendation of Colonel Goethals, chairman of the isthmian canal commission, that rad ical change be made in the Panama canal, and work on the new plans will begin today. This change con- sists in the relocation of the dams and locks which it was purposed to place at La Boca. They will now be placed at Mirafores, four miles farther in land from the Pacific.
 By this change a saving in cost of $1O,OO0,000 will be effected, with a great saving in time for completion; better sites, from military stand point for the locks and dams will be gained, and more satisfactory foun- dation can be attained. The change stead there will be channel 800 feet wide at sea level from La Boca to the foot of the Mirafiores locks.
 What French Plans Contemplated.
 It will be recalled that when the president submitted his Panama mes sage to congress last year he reserved the right to change the location of these locks, as have also the chief en- their annual reports. The original French plans contemplated locks at Miraflores. and the accuracy of the Judgment of the French engineers has been demonstrated while the strategic advantages of placing these important locks four miles farther from the Pa cific strongly appeal to the military experts now in charge of the cOnstruc- ton of the canal.
 According to the plans finally adopt. ed for the canal the eighty-fve foot level was to be maintained the greater part of the distance across the isth- mus-that is. from the Gatun locks. near the Atlantic. to the Pedro Miguel lock. where the surface of the canal would drop to the tifty-five foot level and continue at that elevation to La Boca or SOsa, where two locks would lower ships to sea level.
 Scope of New Scheme.
 The Pedro Miguel lock is about sev- en miles from the bay of Panama. while the Sosa locks were to be locat- ed at the junction of the canal with the bay. The new plan contemplates the location of these two locks at Miraflores. which is practically three miles beyond Pedro Miguel and four miles back from the bay.
 A comprehensive series of test pits in MirafOres has demonstrated that under the changed plan these two i'm portant locks can be constructed on solid rock foundations. which would not have been possible at La Boca. The extension of the sea level portion of the canal will greatly facilitate the excavation
 On the new site the locks will he wholly beyond effective gun range of a battleship in Panama bay. while the surrounding country is more suscepti- ble of effective defense than is that around La Boca.
