A number of people have been asking
/ themselves this question for some
/ time, but it has remained for Senator
/ Harry Lane of Oregon to be the first
/ to step up and ask the question out
loud. having put his inquiries to ad-
ministration officials within the last
few days. Secretary McAdoo, whose
department administers the law, is
much interested in Senator Lanes
plans to uncover the reason or rea-
sons for the law not working out sat
isfactorily, and he has requested the
Oregonian to furnish him with a brief
on the subject.
Senator Lane believes that the law
and regulations which now govern the
making of denatured alcohol are
drawn so that it is practically impos-
sible to make the product at a price
to compete with gasoline. He wants
changes made to benefit the farming
interests. The regulation which re-
stricts the daily output of an indus
trial alcohol distillery to 100 gallons
is the principal trouble maker In the
starting of the industry in this coun-
try, because il has been demonstrated
that no factory can operate econom-
ically on such a small output. Elk
perts In both the agricultural and
treasury departments agree that the
100 gallons daily production restric-
ton makes the law as 1t now stands
somewhat Of farce. A system of in
spection by government revenue Off
GERS is prescribed, which is so costly
to the distiller that it becomes impos-
sible to manufacture Industrial alco-
hol at a cost even to approach the
price of petroleum products.
Farmers cannot distill their own
denatored alcohol now, because the
product must have a strength of not
les than ninety per cent alcohol To
manufacture alcohol of such strength
still costing many thousands OF dol
lars is required. and department off,
Gals have yet to find a single farmer
who mas been able to 20 to such a
large expense. Alcohol of fifty to
sixty per cent. strength can be made
with still costing only few dollars,
such as almost any farmer can make.
In encouraging the building up OF
an industrial alcohol industry in this
country, Senator Lane and the de-
partment officials with whom he has
talked agree generally that the gov
eminent must guard against the max
ing of "moonshine" whisky by I'M
scrupulous distillers, who might be
pretending to make denatured alco-
hol. The Oregonian thinks that it
should be as easy to regulate this
matter in the United States as it is in
Germany, where large amounts Of po-
tatoes and other agricultural products
are turned into denatured alcohol.
Agricultural department officials are
much interested in the establishment
OF an Industrial alcohol industry in
this country. According to Assistant
Secretary B. T. Galloway, one Of the

The coarse-meshed silk nets, Dor
dered with bands of Grape three
inches wide. are having a strong
vogue and are in the majority among
fashionable wells. Nevertheless they
are less becoming than chiffon. But
wells are so seldom worn over the
face that this item may be ignored

Laws Hard to Enforce.

Good game laws are easy to make,
but very hard to enforce. AS an Illus
tration Of the spirit which animates
those in charge Of the game, Mr.. Will
Jams told me the following story: A
trapper was suspected of killing wa
pitt just outside the reserve, and the
ranger asked Mr.. Williams IL he
might make a special trip into the
reserve in midwinter to try and catch
him. as he fancied that the suspect
would wait until the worst season of
the year, fancying himself immune
from pursuit. Accordingly the ranger,
accompanied by a second. travelled
over $50 miles on snowshoes over
ground covered with from feet to
s feet Of snow, with or inches of
soft snow on top. They crossed big
range of mountains at an elevation
of 5000 feet, with temperature about
30 degrees below zero, found the re-
mains Of a wapiti in one Of the trap
per's huts, followed the trail, caught
their man, took him out with them
Occupying three days In doing 80 and
having to pack everything them
selves) and within half an hour OF
reaching civilization had obtained a
conviction. The trapper was fined
$3.50 for killing wapiti and $50 for
killing mule deer. The effect Of such
an example is incalcuIabIe. as poach-
er never knows when he is safe. Any
one and everyone who infringes the
game laws is prosecuted. Last year
for exceeding the limit Of sheep Wis
itor was fined $3.50.

greatest needs OF agriculture today is
saving for the farmer the money
. which is lost each year in the waste
OF surplus or spoiled crops, which
would make industrial alcohol. Dur
ing the past year the price of potatoes
was so low in some parts of the coun-
try that il was not worth while 10
dig the crops, and the product was al
lowed to rot in the ground. Besides
potatoes, the waste from corn and
other grain crops, sugar cane and all
kinds of fruits and many other farm
products can be used in the manufac-
ture of industrial alcohol The dena-
turing process is simply the addition
OF ten per cent. of wood alcohol,
which is poison. and one-half Of one
per cent. of benzine
Approximately one and a half bill
lion gallons of gasoline are used in
the country each year and Senator
Lane and administration officials do
not expect the petroleum products in
terests to lend much encouragement
to the manufacturers Of a compet-
ing fuel which is produced from an
nual crops OF the land. A large Amer
lean company is known to be work
ing on an alcohol engine for automo-
biles at the present time. and it is
thought that the invention Will be far
in advance Of any of the foreign alec
hOl engines. and will perhaps revolu-
tionize the motor industry. Alcohol
now costs three or four times as
much as gasoline. and it is generally
realized that the price must be
brought down to compete with the pc
trOleum product. This has been ac-
complished in Germany, where every
thing possible has been done by the
government to encourage the indus
trial alcohol industry. The German
emperor is an Industrial alcohol en-
thusiast, and a few years before the
death of King Edward made n person
al demonstration for the English mon
arch OF alcohol lights. stoves and en-
gines Of the latest German models.

~ + recent years the necessity

V " herds which once rOamed the

more and more apparent. Public opin-
ion, led by a few enthusiasts, has

been organized and, in the majority or
civilized countries, the depreciation

Gated and uneducated butchers have
been stopped. Nowhere has the need
for such reform been greater than in
North America. With the bison prac-
ticalIy exterminated and the existence
OF the wapiti (why will American
naturalists persist in miscalling these
fine deer "elk?"O, the mountain sheep
and the pronghorn antelope seriously
threatened, 1t was none too soon. In
British CoiuD bia the matter has been
taken In hand, and It Is with this
great province that l propose to deal,
writes Frank Wallace in Country Life.
There are two men whom future gen.
erations will have to thank for the
preservation Of the large game Of the
province One is Mr.. A. Bryan VIII
Jams, the provincial game warden,
and the other Mr.. A. ]. Bouser, attor-
ney-general for British Columbia. By
dint of unremitting exertions they
have procured the establishment OF
two efficient game reserves and
large annual expenditure for their
preservation. ! think I am right in
saying that when l was hunting in
British Columbia In 1906 the govern
ment spent literally nothing on the
preservation of their game beyond the
warden's salary and those Of the rang
ers. Last year $4,000 were expend-
ed. a fine testimony to the energy Of
these two gentlemen.

For cleaning white kid shoes, get a
clean white cloth. soak 1t in gasoline,
then dip the cloth in powdered pre-
pared chalk. Rub until all dirt is re-
moved, then allow shoes to dry in the
air, but not in the sun. Always use
the chalk and gasoline together, as
gasoline alone will in time cause the
kid to turn yellow. Do this in a cool
place away from heat or artificial
light and not IN the hot sun.
