FINDS BASE FOR
USE IN EXPLOSIVES

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two dis
coveries. both of vast Importance to
American industries ana one regarded
also as a priceless military asset,
were announced Sunday by Sec'y of
the Interior Lane.
They are chemical processes devel-
oped after years of research at the
Columb ia university by DR.. Walter r.
Rittman. chemical engineer of the Du-
reau of mines
one is expected to enable oil refin-
ers to increase their output of gasoline
by 200 per cent
The other makes possible the pro-
duction from crude petroleum of to-
luol and benzol. bases for dyes and
high explosives and especially smoke
less powder. for which IN the past,
the United States and the rest OF the
world has depended almost eXclu-
sively upon Germany
The first process means that with an
estimated production on the part OF
the independent refiners of 12,oOO.tOO
barrels of gasoline IN year. the in
dependents alone may have an output
of $4,000. 600 barrels. greater than the
total production today from all
sources.
For An the People.
Application has been made by DR..
Rittmann on behalf Ofthe federal gov
eminent 10 patent these processes in
order TO prevent any monopoly in
their use, the patents to be dedicated
to the whole American people.
These processes, said Sec'y Lane
today. ARE frauCht with the utmost
Importance 10 the people of this coun-
try For some time the Standard oil
company through the great amount
of money at its command through its
employ of expert chemists and
through its extensive organization has
had q big advantage oyev the indie
pendents in the production of gaso-
line this COMPANY having a patented
process that obtains for IL as much as
three times the amount of gasoline
from a given quantity OF petroleum
as the Independents now obtain
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1915-03-01

There are two or three other large
corporations that have an efficient
process for the manufacture of gaso-
line, but the independents as a whole
have never been able 10 even APP
prOach the results obtained by the
Standard Oil company.
Now the federal government,
through the efforts of Dr. Rittmann,
proposes to make free for the use Of
all the people of this country who wish
it. a process that is confidently eX-
pected to increase their yields of gaso-
line from crude petroleum fully 200
per cent and perhaps more. such re-
suits having been repeatedly obtained
in the laboratory.
Process Is Safer.
1t is claimed by DR.. Rittmann that
his process is safer. simpler and is
more economical in time than pro-
cesses now in use and these are eco
homie factors of great Importance.
With a steadily increasing demand for
gasoline for automobiles motor boats
and engines, this fortunate discovery
comes at the proper time.
Two years ago the automobile in
dustry. fearful that the supply of gas
cline might not be adequate for its
rapidly expanding business offered
thorugh the International association
Of Recognized Automobile clubs, a
prize of 100000 for a substitute for
gasoline that would cost less than
gasoline. Happily the urgency of this
situation has passed and at the pres
ent time there is a plentiful supply of
motor fuel to meet immediate de-
mand.
This new process adds to the hope
that. in spite of the wonderful growth
in the use of gasoline, there may not
be any shortage in the future.
1T will render free for use or all the
results of that efficient research
which has heretofore been only at the
command OF the wealthy.
Il am led 10 believe that it will not
only he of inestimable value to the re-
finers commanding but limited CAPT

tai as well as those of wealth, but also
to the hundreds of thousands of users
of gasoline.
When il is realized that the gaso-
line industry each year in this coun-
try includes products amounting in
value to between S10O,0OO,00O and
$150,000, coo, the Importance of this
discovery is seen.
Second of Great Value.
The second process discovered by
Mr.. Rittmann may prove Of much
greater value to the country than the
first in that il suggests the establish
ment of an industry in which Ger
many has heretofore been prominent
the dye industry and also promises
indirectly a measure of national safe
~ of incalculable import
Among necessary ingredients OF
high explosives used in modern war
fare, toluol and benzOl are in the first
rank. Heretofore these products have
mainly been obtained in Germany and
England from coal tar and explosive
manufacturers have had to depend
largely on the supply from these
sources in the making of explosives.

the Regent theatre in addition to a
program of real Lubin and Kalem
comedy. Miss Martin is the most refin-
ed artist in the moving picture world
and she is given ample opportunity to
display her pleasing personality which
stands out more and more markedly
and distinctly as the play progresses.
The Arrival of Perpetua" is a story
in five acts. Perpetua is rich little
girl, an orphan, with a guardian much
her senior. While her money lasts she
has many ardent suitors but when her
funds are gone their ardor cools. The
guardian then offers himself to her for
he had been in love with her but was
unable, to present his affections be-
cause of her wealth. The play is round
ed out in wonderful style and is given
a pleasing ending. For tomorrow Man
ager Magaro has arranged the biggest
show of the year when Francis X.
Bushman and Alice Joyce, two of the
biggest stars in the moving picture
world, will appear on the same bill.

LIKE FINDING MONEY
H. o. Kennedy Offers Popular Medi-
cine at Half Price

H. G. Kennedy, the popular druggist
is making an offer that is just like
finding money for he is selling regu
lar 50-cent bottle of DIR. Howard's s cele.
brated remedy for constipation and dys
pepsia at half price. In addition to
this large discount he agrees to return
the money to any purchaser whom the
remedy does not cure.
1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
fifty-cent pieces for quarter, but that
is what this offer really means, for it is
only recently that this medicine could
be bought for less than fifty cents.
The proprietors have decided to allow
H. G. Kennedy to sell it at this reduced
price for while and the result has
justified his good judgment. for the
sale has been something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach,
specks before the eyes, or any liver
trouble, should take advantage of this
opportunity, for DR.. Howard's remedy
is recommended for all these troubles.
But if by any chance it should not help,
H. G. Kennedy will return your money.
