RED CROSS PLANS
 BASE J. s. HOSPITALS
Already Organizing Big Units
 For Mexican Service.

Colonel Jefferson R. Kean, U. S. A.. director general of military relief for the American Red Cross. has issued the following statement:
 The most important work which has probably ever been undertaken by the American Red Cross for the assistance of the medical service of the army is now being done in the organization of base hospital units from the personnel of the larger civil hospitals in this country.
 The base hospitals are intended to be transported on the outbreak of war to the seat of military operations, where they are located at the city which is selected to be the military base.
 One of these is needed for each %, GOO. men brought into service. They receive sick and wounded coming from the field hospitals at the front. Thirteen base hos pitalS with skilled personnel are now or Eanized and seven more are in process of organization
 Each base hospital is equipped to re- ceive 800 patients Although organized by the Red Cross, they are not administered by it, but when called into active service pass under the exclusive authority of the war department and become part of its medical service. The medical officers are given military commissions in the active service. The nurses in the same way be- long to the Red Cross nursing service and in time of war become part of the army nurse corps.
 The organization in time of peace of these large and complex units will place at the disposal of the government imme- diately on the outbreak of war organiza- tions which it would require many weeks to create and equip and offers our soldiers from'fthe first the finest medical talent in the country.

BIG DIVIDEND PAYMENTS.
Midyear Interest Put at Total of
 S2o2 ,372, $40.

S292,3/2,o4U.
 Midyear interest on dividend pay ments as compiled by the New York Journal of Commerce will aggregate $292, ,372, $40. exceeding last years dis bursement for that period, which con- stituted the previous record, by $13,- 551, ,67S. This extraordinary showing is due to various initial payments, re- sumption of dividends suspended at the outset of the war and many in creased and extras by corporations in almost all lines of industry.
 Copper producers have helped largely to swell the total by their increased and extra dividends. Manufacturers of munitions. explosives, oils, sugar motor and the marine transportation companies as well as makers of dye stuffs, chemicals and textiles have add ed to the volume by their distribution of profits in dividend form
 Some railroads and public utility companies also will disburse larger dividends in the coming month. but the largest increase comes from the indus trial corporations, whose dividends will aggregate $59. 628,O00 against $50, ,292,- 900 in the first half of 1915.

Long Island Chemist Demonstrates New Discovery will Work fin In- ternai Combustion Engines-'ey- oiutionize Transportation.

Louis Enright. chemist of Farm tered Q substitute for gasoline, as a motor fuel which promises to revo- ,lutionize transportation.
 Enright mas been working oI, tte plan for several years, ard now pro- nounces it a complete success. Sev- eral demonstrations of the new pro- duct in the propulsion of automobiles has been made for members of the press and others, and in every in- stance the engines have been run with apparently all the power and Ismoothness as is possible with gaso- line.
 In a recent test made for news paper man, the spectators saw En- right take his ordinary runabout and empty the five gallon gasoline tank. The tank was partially filled with water from a garden hose ard a small amount of the green powder was dropped into it. An electrode connected with two dry batteries was then placed in the solution and the car was cranked up. The car ran with Enright and passenger for four miles.
 When representative of the New York paper asked Enright if he would duplicate the performance with one of the papers automobiles he agreed but refused to put his compound into the tank. saying secrecy was his only protection.
 The newspaper driver uncoupled the gasoline tank and drained the carburetor. The son of the inventor coupled on short section of small copper pipe and slipped it over one end of q rubber tube: the other end of the rubber tube led to a long glass i laboratory tube about threc-fourths of an inch in diameter and about a foot in length. From the barn hyd- rant the pitcher was filled and dash of green liquid added. Then he pour ed the mixture into the tube. i The driver crarked the car and the engine started off as regularly as though it was feeding on gasoline. The liquid in the tube began sliding down as it fed through the carburetor and into the cylinders. There was no other substance turning the engine. l Enright states that the new fuel can be produced for about F cents gallon.
