HERB LYLE AND HIS RECORD
Heady Driver Has Long List of Event
full Drives and Is Dean of
Americans.

The record of Herb Lyle, universally
known as the dean of American automobile
drivers, who will pilot his Apperson Jack
Rabbit car in the great 5OO-mile sweepstakes
race on the Indianapolis speedway on May
30, is known to some and of interest to
many.
His connection with the motor car indus
try began in November, 1898 when he
Joined the Duryea Motor Wagon company
In the building of gasoline cars. remaining
there until 1896 He drove a Duryea in the
Cosmopolitan race in New York, May 30,
1885, just fifteen years prior to the day on
which he will drive the Apperson Jack Rab-
bit over the 5O0-mile route at INDIANAPOLIS
on Decoration day next. On November IA.
1885, he drove a Duryea in the London
Brighton race in England. This car he
exhibited at the Bray Horse show near
Dublin in August, 1896, this being the first
motor car ever seen in Ireland.
In 1905 he finished fourth in the Wander
bilt elimination trials and in, the Wander
bilt race OF that year was disqualified
for towing his car to start the motor after
the starting crank had been lost.
In March, 1908, soon after he Joined the
Appersons, he drove his Jack Rabbit into
first place in the lSO-mie Savannah road
race and the following day won second
with the Apperson in the 36O-mile race,
which was won by foreign car The same
year he finished second in the Vanderbilt,
and won first prize in the sweepstakes race
over the same course with a foreign car.
In April, 1908, he finished fourth with an
Apperson in the Briarcliff race
In 1909 his mount was the Apperson Jack
Rabbit in the Crown Point, Lowell and
Riverhead road races. In the latter he
sustained an injury that made II impossl-
BILE for him to drive the Apperson in the
Vanderbilt Paramount Park and Atlanta
races In which he had been entered.
On the Atlanta speedway in 1910 Lyle
won the fifty-mile race and finished second
In the 2O0-mlle as well as in the ten and
twenty-mile free-for-alls
On the Indianapolis speedway on May
%, 1910, in the ten-mile handicap, Lyle
started from scratch and had obtained first
position in the last lap, when his car left
the track and he suffered a broken leg
Last December he went to England for
visit and returned early in March. He
married an English girl and has three
children.
No one connected with the business of
racing motor cars is more esteemed by
his associates, competitors and acquaint-
ances than is Herb Lyle.

Gator 5l,2i7,31O pounds of waste are used,
or an average OF five pounds to each
wheel monstration Of saving oil from
waste used was made by Mr. Schaffer,
and from sixty pounds of the oily waste
seven gallons and one quart of oil was
squeezed
If, on the average, 100 pounds of waste
produced only eight gallons of oil. the
amount possible to save from the oily
waste used by the railroads of the United
States in one year would reach the total
of 4,OJ7,73i gallons, and at an average price
Of only SS1s cents per gallon its cash valu-
alton would be 81, $685.
Discarded corncobs are another neg
lected source of wealth. Mr. Schaffer
claims that they can be converted into
wood block in many forms, the most val
liable Of which are lumber, railroad ties
and the basis of many kinds of furniture
He estimates that this years crop of APP
proximately 1900 100000 bushels would pro
duce 1,65O,OOO,OOO bushels of cobs on the
basis of So per cent cob, and these pressed
into boards would yield 5000, 100000 feet
of lumber. Made into railroad ties the
cobs would produce 412OOO,OOO ties, which
would be enough for 1873 miles of rail-
road.
OF the neglected and undeveloped sources
of wealth OF this country peat is foremost.
Some of the richest peat deposits in the
world are around Blake lake, ST. Law
renee county, New York. The Great Dis
NAL swamp of Virginia is worth more than
many gold mines. Cape Elizabeth Me-,
has great vein Of peat, located three
years ago by the United States geological
survey. There are vast quantities in the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin. Michigan
and the New England states, and their to-
tai value, at 50 per ton, has been estimated
by federal experts at $3s,sOO .OOO,O 900. one of
the most successful uses to which peat has
been put is in the production of gas II
has been used by the Notia Steel works
In Sweden for thirty years for the making
OF gas, and from 1900 to 5000 cubic yards
OF dry-kneaded peat are used for gas max
ing annually. Peat gas is used in several
parts of Europe for glass melting and in
furnaces.
A ton of dry peat will yield forty three
gallons of alcohol when treated with sui
phuric acid and a special yeast and the
alcohol will cost about one-fourth what
potato alcohol does. Tar is also a product
of peat. The use of peat for fuel is
known the world over, and peat brickets
have proved successful in Europe.-Cleve-

MANY MILLIONS GO TO WASTE
Fellow with the Frugal Mind Pre-
sents Figures on Fortunes
Passed Up.

At the beginning of every year some
body or other OF mathematical or frugal
turn Of mind begins to figure out how
much we might have saved had we begun
harvesting our pennies, oil and wine at
the beginning OF the year. This time II is
John T. Schaffer, inventor of labor-saving
and waste-preventing devices, of Roches-
teresting financial statistics of what might
have been.
According to data compiled by him,
many millions of dollars were simply
thrown away during 1910 because we let
them dribble through our fingers. He has
more statistics in the waste problem than
probably any other man in the country.
OF the long list of materials most grossly
wasted in America, corn cobs, oily waste,
cornstalks, sugar cane stalks and waste
leather scraps are perhaps the most valu-
able when scientifically treated for con-
servation.
According to Mr. Schaffer, the lubricat-
ing boxes on railroad car wheels are one
great source of unconserved wealth. There
are 10,249,462 car wheels in the United
States on its passenger and freight cars
and locomotives They require, on an
average, thirty gallons of oil per year,
which makes the annual consumption of

BEER WITHOUT ALCOHOL
Experiments of British Chemist Ex-
cites Brewing Interests OF
Country.

The announcement was made recently in
London that a new process had been dis
covered for the artificial production of al
cohol and, incidentally for the brewing of
beer wholly free Of alcohol. The brewing
and distilling interests of England has ex-
pressed much concern over 1t. In discussing
the new process, London newspaper says:
Otto Overlook at the Criterion restau-
rant, recently read paper before the In
stitdte of Brewing on some experiments
in dealcoholizing beer and reproducing all
cohol
Mr.. Overlook said that last year he
discovered that he could drive carbonic
acid gas produced from soda and sulphuric
acid-therefore, not fermentation gas with
either others or alcohol-through beer when
he raised the temperature to above 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and that the gas con-
tanned traces OF alcohol as 1t escaped after
having been driven through the beer in
such conditions that the latter was con-
verified into froth. When the temperature
Of the beer was raised to 100 degrees Fahr-
enheit, and carbonic acid gas was driven
through it the percentage of alcoholic con-
tent becomes constantly less, until the
liquid might be made absolutely alcohol
free.
Before these experiments were made
1t was considered absolutely impossible to
abstract alcohol from beer without placing
that liquid under such conditions that II
could not reasonably be hoped to continue
the fermentation afterward on account Of
the heat required to separate the noxious-
excreta or alcohol BY the aforementioned
process he dealcoholized absolutely brilliant
beer form all except ultra-microscopical
traces of yeast, and he continued the pro-
cess by carbOnic acid gas at 100 degrees
Fahrenheit until the percentage of alcohol
in the beer had been lowered from above
per cent to 2 absolute.
When this beer had been dealcoholIzed
to per cent, It was his intention to pre-
sent brewer with a sample OF his own
now dealcoholized beer in the same spark
ling condition in which II generally was
sold in bottle. He, therefore, froze all the
beer and proceeded to do the best he could
TO carbonate II in the laboratory without
pressure. He started to pass a slow current
OF carbOnic acid gas through the chilled
beer. when the beer was at freezing point
he analysed It and found 20 his intense
annoyance and establishment that he had
made grave mistake and that his esti.
mate Of the spirit had now risen TO La
absolute. He threw the stuff away and
thea went through the whole experiment
over again, but the result remained the
same-the artificial production of alcohol
& a brilliantly clear, yeast-free. dealcohol-
lied beer Cat a temperature Of 100 de-
gress FahTenheiO subsequently frozen at a
temperature at which no English yeast
cells or cell juice could produce a trace Of
alcohol
such a thing as an artificial production
OF alcohol had never entered hig head. and
since hs had offered that paper TO them he
had heard the opinion expressed that the
matter was absolutely impossible. He was
