TOO GOOD
TO Be TRUE

Louis Enricht OF Farmingdale, L. l.,
runs an automobile on water. Or at
least he says he does. And several
supposedly normal, hard-headed busi-
ness men who have seen him give n
demonstration are convinced that he
does what he claims. He simply draws
five gallons of water out of any con-
venient water pipe, drops into 1t four
ounces of mysterious greenish liquid,
pours the mixture into his gasoline
tank, and off goes the machine, with
the motor never missing an explosion.
He saye the chemical he uses is so
common and cheap that the new fuel
only costs a cent a gallon.
If this is not hocus-pocus, Enricht
has made a discovery that is literally
worth billions of dollars, and destined
to confer incalculable benefits on the
human race. He has provided not
gines cheaply. at the very time when
the high price of gasoline has made it
particularly welcome. He has given
the world a permanent source of pow
er far cheaper and more accessible
than any now existing. 1t is no eXag-
geration to say that such a discovery
is greater than that of steam power
for the use of steam depends on coal
which is expensive and eXhaustible
There is plenty of water.
Unfortunately, this is probably q
hoax or a dream. Fuel experts scof
at 1t. The known laws of science are
against 1t. Water, to be sure, is two
thirds hydrogen; and that hydrogen
when separated, is. highly explosive
But chemists insist that ii is bount
to take, under ideal conditions, at leas
as much expenditure of energy to sep
arate the hydrogen from its combina
ton with oxygen as the hydrogen car
give back afterward in burning or eX
ploding. They insist that there is NJ
substance in existence a little o.
which, poured in water, will cause thi!
separation as Enricht says 1t does
breaking up the water and giving thu
pure hydrogen to explode in the ga
chamber of the engine like gasolin,
vapor.
And yet, science has been wrong be

MRS. JUKES' BROTHER

Mrs. M. F. Jrtes has received word

the most prominent newspaper men OF

tributed his collapse.
For many years he was the political
editor of The Star, and that he is re-

sas City Iost:
! The sudden illness of Mr.. Walter A.
J Evans came as a severe shock TO the

more intimate with him, who knew OF
his intense loyalty, his devotion to the
ideals of life which comprehend hon
esty, straightforwardness and fine
degree OF love for his city and state,
feel deeply the misfortune that has
come upon him.
Clean in his public and private life
his entire career as a newspaper man
and in public office has been such as
to serve as a model for aspiring young
men. Surrounded as he had beer
nearly two decades with all the mucL
and scheming of politics, Mr.. Evans
retained in singular measure sane
and sunny outlook on life.
1t has been in his experience Il

SAN FRANCISCO. May 1.-While
there has been more activity in the
Boston wool market this week, one Of
the main reasons for this may possibly
be that holders of wool have shown

situation is very firm all over the
