Ethyl Alcohol
Best for Cleaning
Gasoline Engines

That tax-free ethyl alcohol, manu-
featured under the United States gov
eminent laws, known commercially
as denatured alcohol, was the most
natural material for the removal of
carbon and the cleansing of gasoline
engines, was we'll demonstrated in
lecture by Professor A. Anglada, of
New York, in the Convention hall at
Kansas City before those in attend
ance at the national gas power show.
Professor Anglada is chairman of the
metropolitan section Of the Society of
Automobile Engineers and an expert
in the manufacture and operation of
gas engines.
He treated the subject OF dena-
tured alcohol as a natural carbon re-
mover and cleanser OF all types of
gasoline engines. and his talk was OF
especial interest, owing to the fact
that his views were the result OF
painstaking experiments extending
over a period OF twelve months
Professor Anglada told in detail the
causes of carbon formation in engine
cylinders and the disadvantages re-
sulting therefrom. The feature which
seemed to impress the convention was
the extreme ease with which an en-
CINE could be treated with denatured
alcohol as well as the absolute harm
lessness and safety of the product
In connection with his paper, Pro-
fessor Anglada brought out the fact
that the ordinary gasoline farm en-
CINE can be run without change on
denatured alcohol by simply starting
1t on gasoline. shutting off the gaso-
line and introducing denatured alco-
hol into the inlet pipe, and that a
series OF experiments conducted in
the presence of the secretary of the
association had proven that denatured
alcohol. when thus introduced served
as a scavenger OF troublesome de-
posits and loosened and drove them
out with the exhaust gases

Nap Hurlers Garry
Own Brand Of Dirt

New York, Aug. 50.--Every Nap
pitcher carries his own special brand
OF dirt in his hip pocket when he
works at the Polo Grounds. There's
a good reason for 1t, too.
The soil In and around the pitchers
box contains some property or other
which makes the cover OF the ball
slfppery the moment II becomes
slightly damp. This prevents pitch
err getting a good grip on the sphere.
The ball becomes hard to handle even
when the hand perspires slightly.
The left-hand pitchers look like
contortionists when they reach for the
dirt in their hip pockets. The pock-
cts are on the right-hand side, which
makes 1t necessary to do some
stretching to get at the soil.

Many young spitpail pitcher

cause a catcher tries TO make him
change his delivery.
Some catchers are either TOO lazy
to back up a spitball artist or are
afraid Of the fast breaking shoots.
So they keep signaling for curves
or straight balls until the twirler loses
control OF what he already possesses
OF course We are referring TO re-
cruit twirlers in this discussion. Older
heads wouldn't take that Kind or stuff
from the incompetent backstops-
The hardship can easily be seen
when the. same catcher works with

he isn't a regular curve-ball worker.
In addition TO this--if the pitcher
spreads the report the kids splitter
isn't worth bang and doesn't break
enough to battle the batter. So he
says he has to keep calling for the
curve. This is the way he meets the
objection OF the recruit. 1t Is gem
orally a catcher who Is afraid of his
own Job and hasn't enough principle
to get out and hustle.
II must be discouraging to the
youngster who believes In his own

: The Hettinger commercial
club plans a public auction Of
lands for the benefit Of the
many settlers who are coming
into that territory this fall.
The plan of the club is sim
pie. Present land owners,
many of whom have gained
lands through homesteading,
and who never intend farming
the land themselves, have list
ed their properties with the
commercial club land bureau.
In conducting the sale, the
commercial club will handle
all features incident to the
transaction, and no charges
will be made for commissions,
etc.
This, plan is entirely new so
far as newly settled districts of
the west are concerned and it
is expected that it will operate
to good advantage. .
1t has fong been felt by those
interested in the growth of the
state some way should be found
to prevent land buyers from
being imposed upon by un-
scrupulous real estate dealers,
many of who not only misre-
present the quality of their
land but charge larger prices
than location and fertility will
justify, resulting in dissatisti-
ed settlers and unfavorable re-
ports regarding North Dakota.
At the last meeting of the
North Dakota federation of
commercial c | u b 8 held at
Grand Forks, this matter was
informally discussed and action
was urged upon com mercial
clubs.
1t is possible that the Het-
finger experiment may open
the way to more satisfactory
relations between incoming
buyers and the different COM
munities.
