A substitute for gasoline that can
be manufactured for l " cents gal
Ion and that will run a motor car
faster than gasoline is being made
in indianapolis. Some of the biggest
men in the motor car business in this
country are interested and predict
that the new fuel will revolutionize
not only the motor car business, but
all manufacturing business. The new
fluid is called "aqualine." 1t was
discovered by John Andrus, Portu-
gese, of McKeesport, Pa. Andrus
has discovered a way of breaking
down water without the use of great
heat and the new fluid consists most
ly of water, little naphthalene and
two secret ingredients that can be
bought at any drug store. Andrus
mixes these in a still to which heat is
applied and the result is fluid that
is superior to gasoline. The fluid can
be made for about IL cents gal
lon. 1t looks like water and smells ex-
actly like camphor mothballs.

An old game, lately revived among
children, is to make startling changes
in the meaning of words, by making
substitution of one letter after an
other. If the problem be to change
"cent to "dime," the word cent,
is changed a letter at time, success
sively to cent, dent, dint, dine, dime.
Wet is changed to dry, thus: wet, wen,
wan, way, wry, dry. To change a
nickel to dollar is harder task.
If money is to be made from the
milking of cows, those COWS should be
few and handled in such way as to
keep them at milk production. A
large part of the advantage of milk
ing few cows comes through the
cash receipts week in and week out

which take care of the farm and fam
lily expenses, leaving the income from
other sources to be applied in the pay
ing of accumulated obligations or in
farm improvements.
