ANOTHER SUB FOR GAS
Harness Maker Discovers Cheap High
Power Composition.

Stroudsburg, Pa, July 20.-A sub
stitute for gasoline which has proved
itself, has been discovered by Reeves
J. Bush, local harness maker. after
several months of continuous expert
menting with a number of chemicals.
In a demonstration made today, an
automobile was driven at a rate of SO
miles an hour consuming when driven
at high speed, one gallon of the sub
stitute composition in covering 23.7
miles on a state road. The substitute
is said by Mr.. Bush to be compost
ton of plentiful chemicals which un-
der ordinary conditions would cost
far less per gallon than gasoline.
The demonstration was witnessed
by Samuel E. Shull and John G..
Marsh, automobile agents, three rep
resentatives of local newspapers and
Randolph Marsh, owner and driver of
the car. Prior to the acutal demon
stration, the substitute was given a
