The complete success of the new
fuel while on the 2650mile public
test and the advantages gained
through it's use were we'll described
in the following dispatch which the
correspondent of the New York Sun
sent to his paper at the conclusion Of
the tour:
"a feature Of the tour which was
watched with special interest was
that the White Steamer used kero-
sene, or coal OIL as fuel instead Of
gasoline. The new fuel worked
splendidly throughout the 265O-mile
journey, and all claims made in its
behalf were fully proven. First of
all, as regards cheapness, the White
driver secured kerosene all along the
route from cents to 10 cents cheap
err per gallon than was paid for gaso-
line. Secondly, the new fuel was
handled without any precautions, and
1t was not unusual to see kerosene
being poured into the fuel tank while
the crew OF the car and an interested
crowd stood by with lighted cigars
and cigarettes. At the finish of the
tour, the White was the only car per-
mitted by the authorities to enter
Convention Hall, where the technical
examination took place, without
draining it's fuel tank. Thirdly, the
new fuel proved to be absolutely
without smoke or SMELL Fourthly,
kerosene could be purchased at what,
ever part of the route was most con.
venient, and not once during the trip
through the ten States of the Middle
West was there found a grocery store
where kerosene was not readily and
cheaply obtainable. Finally, the

amount OF fuel used on the trip
showed that kerosene is at least
fifteen per cent. more efficient, gallon
for gallon, than gasoline. The car in
other respects made most creditable
showing, and there was the usual riv-
airy among the observers to be as
signed to the White SO that they
could ride with the maximum of COM
fort. The only adjustments or re-
pairs charged against the car during
the long trip were tightening lubri-
Gator pipe and wiring damaged mud
guard. These penalties were not in
flicted until more than 1000 miles
had been completed with an absolute

A particularly interesting feature
of the new White Steamer is that
either kerosene or gasoline may be
used as fuel. The necessary adjust
ments so that the fuel may be changed
from kerosene to gasoline, or vice
versa, may be made in a couple Of
minutes; but so completely successful
has kerosene proved to be, that it is
not believed that any purchasers will

Consumptives Need Not Leave Home.

Consumption can be cured, or ar
rested, in any section Of the United
States, and the percentage Of cures in
the east and the west is nearly the
same. Any physician, therefore, who
sends person to the southwest with
out sufficient funds, or in an advanced
or dying stage Of the disease, is guilty
OF cruelty to his patient. Renewed
efforts are. being made to stop this
practice, and to encourage the build
ing Of small local hospitals in every
city and town in the country. At
tempts are also being made in South
ern California and in Texas to ex-

The most interesting announce.
ment ever made in connection with
the automobile industry was un-
doubtedly that made month or two
ago to the effect that the new models
of the White Steam Cars could be run
on kerosene, or coal oil, instead of
gasoline. Everyone at once recog-
nized that the use of the new fuel
would add materially to the advan-
tages which the White already pos
sessed over other types of cars.
There were some people, however,
who were sceptical as to whether or
not the new fuel could be used with
complete success, and, therefore, the
makers of the White Car, the White
Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, deter
mined to make public demonstra-
ton of the new fuel in the 1909 Gid
den Tour.
From the standpoint of the public,
no test more satisfactory could have
been selected. First of all, the dis
lance covered on the Glidden Tour,
from Detroit to Denver and thence to
Kansas City, was 1850 miles. This
was certainly more than sufficient to
bring out any weaknesses, if such had
existed. Still more important was
the fact that the car was at all times
while on the road under the supervi.
sion of observers. named by those
who entered other contesting cars.
Therefore, it would have been impos.
sible for the driver of the White to
have even frightened a bolt without
the fact being noted and penalty in.
