To he Important Factor.

During the last week contributions
have been received by them from widely
separated parts Of the country. showing
that the propaganda has been unusually
successful. Their efforts indicate that
this body will be an important factor In
the campaign to raise relief funds In
1917.
The federation embodles an idea new
In Jewish philanthropic work. The idea
was to raise all the funds which all the
Jewish institutions in the city would
need In one great campaign, thus reliev-
ing the public on the one hand and the
institutions on the other from the neces-
sity of constant begging. Conspicuous In
making the plan a success were the Rev.
DIR. Magnes. Louis Marshall. Cyrus Sulz.

City wall at Pekin carrying five pas
sengers.
This is the first time an automobile
has ever been driven to the top of
the famous Chinese wall and it re-
mained for an American car to be the
first to accomplish the feat. Moving
pictures were made of the perform
ance of the Hupmobile going up the

Predicts Benzol Will
Substitute For Gasoline

Benzol, in the opinion of Elwood
Haynes, of the Haynes Automobile
Company and the man who built the
first American gasoline driven automo-
biles, is the most probable substitute
for gasoline.
"If care were taken" says Mr..
Haynes, ito reclaim the benzol which
goes to waste each year in the dry
distillation of coal for coke, this fuel
could be placed on the market at a
price that would make it as economical
for the automobile owner as gasoline.
In past years Germany has produced
the major part of the worlds supply of
benzol for use in her dye industries.
In the United States, the residue con-
tanning benzol, which has accounted in
good share for Teuton commercial
prestige in past years, has been per-
mitted to go to waste.
THE American production of benzol,
during this year, will amount to 22,-
| O00,0 gallons, most of which will be
used for the production of dyes. chem
icals and explosives. BY wider appli-
cation of the methods in present use
this production could easily be raised
to 60O,00O,00O gallons yearly.
"The reclamation of benzol from
the coal that goes to waste through
archaic mining methods, would swell
these figures to even greater amounts.
If benzol comes into common use, we
have no shortage to fear.
"Benzol contains the same elements
as gasoline, but the carbon and hydro
gen are combined in equal parts
While the two liquids differ widely in
their chemical actions, both are read
lily volatile into highly explosive gases,
when properly mixed with air.
THE entente countries, which are
now cut off from the American supply
are using benzol in their military mo-
tors without changing the design of
either the motor or carburetor. The
application of benzol as a motor fuel
must receive a marked impetus in this
country at the close of the European
conflict, since the supply that is being
consumed in the manpfacture of ex-
plosives will be diverted to the motor
| fuel market.
