GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE
MAY GET u. S. TEST
Representative Miller Arranging
for Demonstration Before Gov
eminent officials.

The discovery by two Pittsburgh
men of substitute for gasoline which
it is claimed equals that product in
energy-producing qualities and is to
be produced in unlimited quantities
and sold at the estimated cost of 8
cents a gallon, has led to negotiations
through Representative Miller of Penn
sylvania for thorough demonstration
before the proper government officials
in this city within short time.
The inventors are Rev. DIR. r. j. c.
Mcknight of Pittsburgh and Guy Bar
Der, an expert mechanic. Several mem
bers of Congress have been advised or
DR.. Meningitis claims, and those who
personally know him believe he has de-
veloped a product which will cut the
props from under the gasoline monopoly
with its high prices. DR.. Mcknight
says he and his partner intend to give
their invention to the country in form
| whereby the benefits will not accrue to
a few wealthy men, but to the men who
depend upon gasoline for motor power.
Autos Need Special Device.
In order to use the gasoline substi-
must be attached to the engines.
Negotiations have been opened with
Dr. W. A. Williams. petroleum expert
of the bureau of mines, with a view to
having the inventors bring their prod
uct to Washington for test Inter-
viewed this morning by a representa-
tive of The Star, DR.. Williams said he
could not state definitely whether the
invention would be tested by tn bu-
reau.
1.-The inventors" he said. have made
the proposition that they will bring their
product to US if the government will pay
for the demonstration and agree to buy
the rights in case it proves to be all that
is claimed for it. Such an agreement can
| not be entered into without a special con-
gressional appropriation. But the bureau
| believes that the efforts Of the inventors
should be encouraged and will do SO in
any way that is practicable.
Thinks High Price Legitimate.
Questioned as to the present price of
gasoline, DIR. Williams said that. in his
opinion the steadily increasing prices of
the product is legitimate in the present
market situation.
ut is the general custom of the big
| producers" he said. ito put consider
| able amount OF gasoline away IN storage
| at this time of the year preparatory to
| the great demand during the summer
| months Of touring So great is the de-
mand today that instead of following out
| this practice they are forced to draw on
| every resource to meet the requirements
| of purchasers.
| Another element contributing to the
| scarcity of the product is the thoroughly
| established fact that the crude oil of to-
| day does not contain as high percentage
| of gasoline as was the case a year ago.
look for higher prices during the summer
unless some substitute can be found.

MUNICIPAL HOSPITAL
PLANS ARE COMPLETED
Estimate Calls for $50, 900 to Start
Erection of the Proposed
Buildings.

Plans for the new municipal hospital
group completed by Snowden Ashford,
municipal architect. were made public
today To start the erection of the
buildings $4,000. it is estimated, will
be necessary. This will allow the erec-
ton of FIVE hospital buildings and a
service building. making it possible to
treat 500 patients. Later it Will re-
quire an appropriation of about $780,
900 for the complication and equipment
of the hospital on a par with the best
equipped institutions of the various
states.
Patients to Be Classified.
The medical and surgical cases will
be treated in different buildings. where
as they are now treated in the same
wards at the old hospital. Male and
female patient will be in separate build
ings in the psychopathic ward. 1t will
be possible to divide the patients into
eight classes: People suffering with
mental trouble who would ordinarily
neglect their trouble rather than be
treated and cured at the old hospital,
would be encouraged ito go to the new
hosqital, well equipped with every facil-
ity for curing their diseases. The
psychopathic ward in this way will
become a hospital ward. In the various
wards there will be roof gardens and
promenades, that will enable the pa
tients to get exercise and air with
out being viewed by the people of
neighboring wards.
The plans Of the new hospital have
been approved by the national COM
mission of fine arts. The buildings
are not more than two stories in height,
so enabling the patients to get the
maximum amount of air and sunshine.
Patients at the present hospital who
are held under a Jail sentence will not
be taken to the new hospital, but will
be treated at the Jail.
Capacity Limited to 800.
1t has been stated that the new hos
pital will take patients from other hos
pitfalls. but this. however. is impossible,
1t is said. as the capacity of the new
municipal hospital will be but 300.
which will accommodate practically
only those at the present time in the
old hospital.
The first buildings to be erected will
be the administration, nurses, home,
psychopathic ward. surgical ward,
medical ward and service buildings.
Stereopticon slides showing over
crowded condition of the old hospital
are being shown daily at several thea
ters.
