Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1916-08-03

After a man buys a tractor or an
engine Of any kind he must answer
for himself the question. What oil
shall I use in it?' But the question,
What shall I burn?" must be decided
to 4 large extent before the engine is
purchased.
Last summer the discussion as to
what fuel the tractor and farm ell
CINE should use and what was to be
the future tractor engine fuel was
almost dormant, With gasoline sell
ing for as low as 10 cents a gallon
and many parts OF the middle west
and with the price of kerosene at
or 8 cents, the difference in the cost
OF the two fuels was so slight that
only few companies who already
had kerosene tractors on the market
were using kerosene for fuel.
Gasoline has doubled in price in six
months, so conditions have changed
and the old question has again as
sumed considerable importance. Dur
ing one week in April the writer read
newspaper stories Of two men who
had invented new fuels. One is a
petroleum product, which would cost
6 cents per gallon or less, and the
other 10 a chemical Of which four
ounces added to five gallons of water
will, according to the inventor, make
a satisfactory fuel at a cost OF ~
cents per gallon. These fuels have
not been thoroughly tried out and
proven practical or successful. Until
they are. people will continue to use
the fuel they have on hand.
Meanwhile engine manufacturers
and experimentalists are working hard
TO perfect their engines to use cheaper
fuels OF use their present fuels more
economically. The fuels which up to
the present have proven the most sue
cessful have been gasoline, kerosene,
benzine or benzol and alcohol. But,
due to their cost, the last two are not
being commonly used in this country.
Gasoline Is, and will be for some
time at least, the prevalent fuel for
high-speed, multi-cylinder engines, al
though several tractors are now using
kerosene, with from very good to in
different success. The term gasoline
In Itself means practically nothing.
1t Is the name given to the product
Of petroleum which is distilled off be-
tween certain temperatures in the re-
duetion proceas. Since the gas en-
CINE, the automobile and the tractor
have increased the demand for gaso-
line 30 much, this range of tempera-
lures has been greatly enlarged in
order to get a larger supply of it.
As . result much heavier and less
volatile liquid is now called gasoline
than when the gas engine was unheard
OF and gasoline was drug on the
market.
No two supplies Of gasoline will be
OF exactly the same composition, be-
cause there is a great variety in the
quality OF the crude oils from which
they are made and the quantity of
gasoline that can be obtained from
them. No two crude oils will be the
same. Oftentimes the oil from two
wells in the same oil field will be
very different in their gasoline con-
tent. The average yield of gasoline
from American petroleum, however,
is now a little below Il per cent,
Scientists and oil manufacturers are
working on schemes to increase this
yield. By the Rittman process it is
hoped to increase this yield Of gaso-
line In some cases as much as four
or five times.
When the internal combustion en-

mits the burning of the lights and
the running of a motor from the bat

generating plant. T..
"To start the generating plant it
is only necessary to press button
and as the engine picks up a charge
Of gasoline and Is running on its own
power the motor reverts to a gener-
ator and current is supplied for re-
charging the battery. When the bat

necessary to press button without
attention to how long the engine
should run, as that Is taken care Of
automatically. The plant will run
five hours on gallon of gasoline
and provides light and power for the
average home for from S to 7 cents
per day, according to the price Of
gasoline"

British Chamber Of Commerce Urges

ton" Clause Eliminated.

Washington, D. C.--Division Of the
world into economic strata separated
by tariff walls and classified As allies
Of the British empire, friendly neu-
trails, unfriendly nuetrals and enemy
countries, Is urged by the London
Chamber Of Commerce. To clear the
ground for this world reconstrucion the
chamber concludes In = special report,
= copy Of which has just been received
here, that abrogation Of all most
fAvorsd-nation" treaties, including
that with the United States, Is iney-
liable.
Free trade would be abandoned and
series Of graded tariffs proposed in
line with the present war groupings Of
the nations.
All imports would be divided as fol-
lows; Wholly manufactured goods,
semi-manfactured goods and articles
solely used as raw material in indus
tries, manufactured foodstuffs and raw
foodstuffs. All parts of the British
empire and its allies would pay mini
mum duties; friendly neutrals which
allow the United Kingdom most favor
ID treatment would pay twice as much;
,ther neutrals, giving preference to
,ther powers and including neutrals
which might swing into the Teutonic
commercial system would pay a still
Ireater tax; and all enemy" coun-
ries would pay the maximum duties,
unning up as high as 80 per cent.
Roughly 1t ID estimated in the report |
hat this change from free trade to
rejection would net q yearly revenue

Every precaution is urged in the re-
ort to assuage neutral nations to pre-
ent them from making commercial
lliances with enemy countries after

I as follows:
1T must also be remembered that
ur allies have tariff arrangements
till in force with other foreign coun-
ries which 1t is assumed must be
brogated before any preferential
rade arrangements can be made with
