Philip H. Johnson and Thomas z. Dur
ham. Of Philadelphia, were invited TO

be small. not exceeding a few thousand
dollars. Most of the money will be spent
for paving. and. in addition, two-fifth'
OF the cost OF the paving must be paid
by owners OF abutting property. so that

DENATURED

Wonderful Things Predicted
For Farmers Have Not
Come TO Pass

WASHINGTON. July 7-Seventeen
inspectors and four revenue agents on
the denatured alcohol rolls of the In

missed because their services are no

Tn expectation that denatured alco-
hol would make rapid strides in sun-
planting gasoline as a motive mower
ior small farm engines, automobiles.
etc. has been disappointing. first, be-
cause the engines now in use are not
adapted TO alcohol. and, second, be-
cause OF its comparatively high cost
Of manufacture by present methoda.
Considerable progress in its utilization
In certain classes Of manufactures is.
however, apparent notably in the pro-
duction of celluloid. ether. gun powder
and as a solvent for paints. varnishes.
and the like. and to a slight degree
as fuel and light. In many Of these
uses it has taken the place Of wood

benefit to the farmer of the country
is concerned. the removal Of the tax
Of Sl10 gallon on denatured alcohol

that by removing the tax iow-grade

products and by-products of the farm
