Gasoline Substitutes
Are Hard TO Provide

SPEAKING Of proposed substi-
~ tutes for gnsolene as a motor
fuel Joseph A. Anglada. an engineer,
says kerosene will not take the place
because Of the impossibility Of start
Ing on kerosene, lack of flexibility,
smoky exhaust, the large carbon
deposit and bad odor. Benzol will
not fill the need because II cannot be
produced in sufficient quantity.
Benzol Is obtained In the making Of
coke from coal and to produce one
gallon sixteen and a quarter tons Of
coal must be treated. Ether IL out
Of the question because of the high
cost Of production.
Napthalene, a coal tar product, has
been used in Europe to some extent,
but It Is necessary to start the engine
on gasolene and to melt the naphtha-
lene IN a hot carbureter. The I'M
satisfactory performance Of the mo-
tor on naphthalene, the high cost Of
production and the restricted supply
prohibit II az serious consideration.
Creosote, also coal tar product, has
all the disadvantages Of naphtha-
lene.

NO AUTO BARGAIN SALES.
Showing, says InRersoll, the Worth
OF Advertfsing,

ITO my mind the greatest proof of the
value Of advertising space In newspapers
and periodicals. In the fact that manufac-
turers OF automobiles never hold bargain
sales" This statement was made by r.
Il. Ingersoll. manager OF Eastern branches
Of the REQ Motor Car Company. Con-
tinuing Mr.. Ingersoll said:
Manufacturers Of clothing. shoes and
OF every other known line at certain pc

IL notable that automobile factories never
use these methods. Indirectly. of course.
II an automobile factory finds Its product
IN excess of demand. the word is passed
down the advertising line and as a result

INTERESTING HISTORY
BACK OF BRISCOE CAR
It's Sponsor, a Pioneer in In
dustry, Has Had Wide
Experience.

Some interesting history is back OF the
new car which has been named the "Bris-
coe." Its sponsor and namesake Is the
same Briscoe who founded the Br!scoe
Manufacturing Company. who with David
Buick built the first Buick car. who with
J. D. Maxwell founded the Maxwell Bris-
coe Motor Company and who with Horace
De Lisser. organized the Ajax -Grieb Rub
Der Company.
In the fall of 1912 Mt Briscoe went 20
France. taking with him two American
engineers. There. collaborating with
French and German engineers. he was
able successfully TO work out his ideals
unhampered by any distracting influences.
His first car was running in May Of the
next year. II was banged around" I'M
reservedly and cruelty. and while only a
few minor changes we're found advisable
yet a second and third car were success
sively constructed.
The first American made Brscoe cars
were turned out the first part OF Ms,
April. These were thoroughly submitted
to strenuous tests. and these tests OF the
American cars were productive OF results
equal IN all respects 20 the splendid rec
ords made by the models originally con-
structed in France.
a regular production of cars was begun
at factories in jackson. Mich. last May
Even when some good friends in Detroit
were expressing themselves as hopeful
that this car might make its appearance
some time during the latter part OF the
year the factory was actually turning ou'
several cars each day. The production /,

WHAT CANDIDATES MAY SPEND,


II is expensive in any state to
seek the nomination for State Off
ces on the ticket that is generally
found to be a winner. That is, it is
expensive for the candidate who ex-
poets to make a showing. The laws
of Oklahoma fix a limit upon the
amount of money that candidate
shall expend or shall procure to be
expended. The limit is not high
enough.
1t follows that in Oklahoma, as
in Texas, there is always suspicion
that evasion has been practiced The
theory In Oklahoma is that while q
candidate may keep within the limit
as fixed by law, the amount that
may be expended in his behalf by
theirs who have not been designated
by him to expend money and the ex-
penditure of Witch he is not respon-
sible for, is practically unlimited.
The law in this state fixes the
amount that may be expende by the
several candidates as follows: Urited
States Senator or Governor $4,000.
other state offices 1900, Supreme
Court $1,000, Congress $500, Dis
trict Judge. $500. State Senator,
$3.50, offices embracing single coun-
ty 5000.
