It is reported that another substi-
tute for gasoline, which has wonder
full possibilities as a fuel for motor
cars, has been discovered at Warren,
Pa. IT is called gasene, and, accord
ing to reports viii sell wholesale at
5 or cents a gallon, as against Is
cents for siXty-eight gravity gasoline.
With this ridiculously low price, IL is
claimed that q mileage rs per cent
greater than with gasoline is obtained
from each gallon of the new fuel.
Gasene is the discovery Of an en-
ploye of refining company ia that
town For the last eight months, It
is stated. the refinery has been expert
mentinE with the formula. It Is re-
ported that the officials OF the refin-
cry find that 81 per cent of q barrel Of
crude oil can be converted into gas
enc, as against Is per cent of gasoline
from the same quantity of crude.
According to officials of the com
pauy, the new fuel leaves no carbon
deposit and can be used in any car
buretter.
Coming SO closely upon the heels Of
the recent announcement of the dis
covery of motor spirits. the announce
r7ent of gasene is coincidence in
other ways The latest gasoline sub
stitute seems to be quite similar TO
motor spirits so far as may be judged
by the incomplete data given out by
its hackers. The same advantage over
gasoline in the matter of mileage is
claimed for il, somewhere near the
same per cent of distillate from the
crude is said to be obtained and it
seems to be similar in other respects.
The most radical difference apparent
at present is in the price. Whereas
motor spirit is offered at 8 cents less
than gasoline, gasene-according to
the newspaper reports--is to be Of
fered at 8 cents wholesale. This figure
is regarded as too good to be true
by oil men, who state that 8 or I
cents is less than the price of the
crude.
Motor Trucks Abroad.
Just as the United States has
proved itself a world heater in the
production OF automobiles of all
classes. so has it demonstrated its
alertness and progressiveness in the
use of the motor truck" says j. II.
Simms, of the Eastern Motor Sales
company There are more trucks in
use In our own country today than in
ala the other countries Of the world
combined. and, judging from the
bright outlook for this branch of the
industry, our record VIII never be in
danger from our competitors abroad.

The most striking example of Ameris

ton here and in Europe.

been slow in adopting the logical sue
cessor of the horse ones first inn
preston on visiting London, Paris,
Berlin or any Of the important cities
of the old world is the scarcity of

Compression leakage past the valves
Of a motor may be due to a great
variety of causes. The valves may
warp. due 10 the use OF inferior ma

This latter ray be brought about sud

of the valve will reduce the clearance
between the stem and cam, so that
the member cannot close completely
This will be noticed Immediately after

enough off the stem TO obtain the
proper clearance. Deposits of carbon

fact that a great many men do
drink and will drink, at any cost.
The writer is not disposed to
favor any attempt by law to in
terfere with the legitimate rights
of men. 1t is to be hoped, how
ever, that everybody, including
those who indulge, will favor any
scheme that aims at the protec-
ton and salvation of the boys.
According to observation,
drunkards are made before the
age of twenty-one. If the chung
hole" could be closed against
boys till they become men, it is
highly probable that drunkenness
and incident crime would be re
duced, more and more, year by
year, till we should rarely see a
man of responsibility under the
influence of wine.
AS the temperance law now
stands and operates the boys are
exposed to temptation and deadly
danger all the time. 1t is a we'll
known fact that any boy, no mat
ter as to age, can hire a niger or
tramp, for a small considera-
ton, to procure for him any kind
of liquor from the saloons. The
saloonist has no way of knowing
that he is selling to a boy He is
not conscious of any violation of
the law and is, therefore, free
from censure and penalty.
So far as protecting minors is
concerned, the present temper
ance law is ga dead cock in the
pit" and should receive an early
and decent burial. The law is all
right, mind you, up to the point
of shielding the boys from
danger. Here it fails, absolutely.
The writer has been, for almost
forty years, manager, in
structor, and leader of boys. He
knows positively that whiskey
and its use by the students, CON
trary to rules and in spite Of pun
iShment, have never failed to
bring trouble and loss to the
school, the students, and their
parents. He has tried in vain to
get legislators to view the ques-
ton thru his glasses. He is salts
fed that one small addition to the
law will do the work desired
l Here it is:
Require that all drinking shall
be done inside of the saloon and
allow not drop of any kind of
, liquors to be carried outside in
bottle or other vessel.
Certainly, not even a drinking
| man, who cares a snap for the
welfare of boys, will raise a Sc
rious objection to this addition to
the temperance law, after mature
consideration.

HOW TO RAISE A BOY.
Would You Put Him in a Barrel

woman had a son, small boy.
She was greatly troubled over the
problem of how to raise him. She
was telling another woman, on

just across the aisle from these

man, a stranger, reading, or try

force, he overheard the painful
recital of the anxious mother. His
heart was deeply touched. Toss
ing aside his paper, he made haste
to offer sure relief, saying, "My
dear, dear Madam | can tell you
exactly how to raise that boy. "
This was an unexpected but wei
come ray of light, a gracious and
gladstone answer to her many
prayers. Rising and smiling, her
beautiful eyes sparkling thru
tears of joy, she responded, "In-
deed, that would be very, very
kind of you, Sir. " She leaned
eagerly and benignly toward him.
in sweet anticipation of the full
fillment of all her rosy dreams
concerning her boy, while the
gentleman proceeded to lay down
this laconic rule: "Put the little
scamp in barrel and feed him
thru the bunghole, till he is
twelve years old" He resumed
his paper. The lustrous brown
eyes of the disappointed mother
faded to ashes. However, after {
pause of tremendous soul-effort
she summoned courage and ven
tured thus to interrupt his read
ing, 81 beg pardon, Sir; but wha
would you do, after the boy be
