KEROSENE IS USED
ON WORLDS TOUR
Experiment Made by Two Young Men
in Henderson Auto Proving
Successful.
HAVE COVERED $4,000 MILES

That kerosene as a fuel for motorcars
will be one of the solutions Of the present
high cost of gasoline problem is being
proven by two University Of Wisconsin
graduates who are making a tour of the
world in a Henderson automobile, using
kerosene for fuel. -.
After graduating from Wisconsin last
June, Edward p. Hohl fitted up his
Henderson car with all equipment deemed
necessary for an around the world trip. !"
and left indianapolis in August, planning
to spend about eighteen months on this
trip, and to arrive at San Francisco in
time for the Panama Exposition in 1915.
factory with their special carburetor and
equipment to burn kerosene, and Mr..
Kohl is making the entire trip using only
kerosene as a fuel.
The car is now in Egypt en- route TO the
Holy Land, and Mr.. Kohl and friend
have covered more than 5000 miles, going
through the United States, British Isles,
Germany, France, Holland, Austria, Rus
STA, and Italy.
In a letter written from Vienna at
Christmas time, Mr.. Kohl advised r. P.
Henderson, vice president of the Hen
derson Motor Car Company, that he felt
like sending a Christmas present every
time he filled his special forty-gallon
coal oil tank, in as much as he calculated
that he saved SO at each filling. This.
because gasoline averages from 40 to 60
cents a gallon, while kerosene Tor paraf-
fine, as it is better known abroad is
purchased at an average cost of Is cents
gallon.
\ At Milan, for the entire distance of
1900 miles, Mr.. Kohps Henderson had
averaged fourteen miles gallon for
each gallon OF kerosene used.
At Stuttgart, Germany, in the factories
of the Eisemann Magnetic Company, the
Henderson motor was taken down and
examined by the engineers of that COM
pany, inasmuch as the car was fitted
with their magnetic. Very little carbon
accumulation was found and only nomi-
nal wear was noticed on the various
parts.
Mr.. Kohl has compiled and sent to Mr.
Henderson data about the performance
of kerosene, also much information re-
garding touring abroad. The Henderson
Motor Car Company of indianapolis is
reproducing these reports and forward
ing them to all motorists who contem-
plate touring abroad. and to motorists
in kerosene as a fuel for motor
cars.

Probably VIII Provide for $4,000
Volunteers.

Washington, April 20.-The war de-

an issuance of a call for volunteers
for invasion in Mexico If necessary.

will be for 100000 men. This will
include the military reserves.
Authorization for the call Is neces-
sary from congress under an act to
provide for temporarily increasing the
military establishment Of the United
States in time of war. The president
is expected to ask authorization to
raise a volunteer army.
The volunteers would be apportioned
so far as practicable among the sew

District of Columbia, according to
population and will enlist to serve for
a period of two years unless sooner
discharged.
