n MOTHER step in the perfection
~ of the District fire department
occurred last week when a new
Ahrens-Fox motor fire engine
was added to the present equip
ment. This is in line With the policy OF
Chief Frank J. Wagner to make Wash
ington one of the best equipped cities in
the country from the standpoint OF IRE
protection. The new apparatus Will be
placed in service at No. % engine COM
pany at Congress Heights, formerly oc-
cupied by chemical company No. .. Thus
another one of Washington's suburbs will
he protected with modern fire-fightfng
apparatus.
This latest improved type of fire APP
paratus, prior to its installation. was
given one of the severest tests of any
piece of apparatus ever accepted by the
District officials. At $50 o'clock Thurs
day morning the machine was tested out
at the corner of 7th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue northwest, where is To-
Gated large cistern. The water was
grated from this cistern with two lines
of hose, equipped with 1A-inch smooth
bore nozzles, throwing water at the rate
OF 7S5 gallons per minute for one hours
duration, without any indication of la
Dor on the part of the motor. After this
test, two lines were samesed into one,
using 11s and Ia inch streams at various
times The latter reached a distance of
over 800 feet with delivery at the rate
of $50 gallons of water a minute. This
is considered a remarkable test and sur
prised the Washington officials who were
present
After this test the engine was run out
to No. 81 engine company, at Georgia
avenue and Rock Creek Church road. and
given six-hour endurance test, during
which time water was forced through
LOCO feet of hose at no time maintaining
less than 20 pounds water pressure, and
for the last fifteen minutes of the tess
maintained a pressure of $40 pounds.
The machine was then given severe
road test carrying 1.SO0 feet of hose and
twenty-one men aboard. The apparatus
was driven over the various streets of
Washington, concluding with a test up
Asylum hill, in Anacostia, which 1t took
on high gear at 20 and % miles an hour.
On the level the machine developed as
high as 80 miles per hour.

Exhaust Is White Smoke.

.'Ope of the chief disadvantages, par
ticularly where cars are to be driven on
the boulevard, is that the exhaust is in
the form of white smoke quite similar
to that due to an excess of oil. 1t Is
stated, however, that by reducing the
quantity of oil the smoking is to great
extent overcome; in fact ii is found that
quite little less cylinder oil may be
used safely with motor spirit than 1t
would be safe to use with gasoline. There
is slight carbonizing of the cylinders,
similar to that found when an excess OF
oil is used, but this deposit is soft. and
weekly application of kerosene has been
found to keep the cylinders clean. The
fuel, although giving initial explosions on
starting and letting the motor run for
several minutes, will seem to choke up
occasionally until the manifold gets
warm. This is due to the condensation
in the manifold which seems to be much
more pronounced than when gasoline Is
used. With the short intakes. however,
this difficulty could be avoided.
THE odor of motor spirit, though unno-
ticeable in the open air or in small guam
titles, becomes somewhat pronounced
when a thankful Of the fuel is kept in
closed room. For motor truck work there
is little objection to smoking, and where
the odor is not fault motor spirit viii!

sumption of gasoline t. commercial We
hicles has been threatening the available
supply for some time, and has been adj
vanced as a chief reason for the Increase
in price Of gasoline. The new fuel, how
ever, should do ve-y much to relieve this
situation

new MOTOR FUEL
Considerable Interest Eyinced
in Discovery. =
CHEAPER; MORE MILEAGE.
It's Greater Power Means Much to
Autoists, Says an
Authority.
HEAPER; MORE MILEAGE.

Local motorists are eyincing consider
able interest in the new substitute fuel
for gasoline for use in motor cars. The new
fuel is called motor spirit and it Is said
Will sell for 3 cents a gallon less and
with 20 per cent more power and one
quarter more mileage per gallon than
gasoline. Announcement was made last
week of the discovery of motor spirit
which is said to resemble gasoline very
closely except that 1t is yellow in color
instead of white and has very pungent
odor. 1t has slightly greater range Of
boiling points than has gasoline, its min
imum point being somewhat lower than
that of the older fuel and it's maximum
slightly higher. This allows a motor to
be started as easily or more easily with
this fuel than with gasoline. In gravity
it is somewhat heavier than gasoline,
ranging from flfty-two to fifty-five de-
grees Baume. while gasoline ordinarily
runs from fiity-eight to sixty degrees
1T is not SO much the lower cost of the
fuel or it's greater power that means
much to the motorist," says Motor Age.
1T is the fact that by its production the
output of fuel for gasoline engines from a
given amount of crude petroleum prac-
ticaliy Is doubled. This will tend to pre-
vent further rises in the price of gasO-
line, although, according to one large Oil
company, it probably will not lower the
price of gasoline on account of the
threatened rise In crude.

Qualities of "Motor Spirit. !"

Motor spirit is an additional by-prod.
uct of petroleum to any which has been
obtained heretofore-that is, in addition to
the quantity of gasoline which formerly
has been obtained from given amount
of crude almost the same quantity of mo-
tor spirit is obtained. This has been
made possible by an invention of w. M.
Burton and patents for the process have
been granted only the first OF the year.
1T Is stated that the yellow color
and the offensive odor could be done
away with by a process of deodorizing
and decoloring similar to that employed
with gasoline. but such refinement would
make the product just as expensive as
the older fuel. The use of motor spirit
requires a slight adjustment of the car
buretor, as 1t requires more air for COM
bustion than does gasoline.
although the new fuel has the very
desirable advantages of lower cost and
increased economy In miles per gallon, 1t
has in it's present state several disad-
vantages which may initiate against Its
widespread adoption, particularly for use
in pleasure cars. In fact, the company
producing the new fuel is not offering
motor spirit as pleasure car fuel. but
only as fuel for motor trucks and for
stationary engines, although 1t can be
used for pleasure cars.

During the summer of 1867, it WIS

drank too much of what the Indians
