URGE CARE OF BENzOL,
WHICH NOW IS WASTED
Elwood Haynes, Manufacturer, Be-
lieves It Most Probable" Sub
stitute for Gasoline.

That benzol is the most probable
substitute for gasoline is the opinion
Of Elwood Haynes. one Of the pioneer
manufacturers of this country and
who built the first American gasoline
driven automobile. If care were
taken" said Mr.. Haynes, a few days
ago. ito reclaim the henzol which goes
to waste each year in the dry distil-
lation of coal for coke. this fuel could
be placed on the market at a price
that would make 1t rs economical for
the automobile owner as gasoline.
I'm past years Germany has pro-
duced the major portion of the worlds
supply of benzol for use in her dye
Industries. In the United States the
residue containing benzol. which has
accounted In good share for Teuton
commercial prestige in past years, has
been permitted to go to waste.
Gives Total Of Output.
THE American production of benxol
during this year will amount to a.
100000 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 600,O00oOO gallons yearly.
The reclamation of benzol from the
coal that goes to waste through ar.
chaic 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 readily VIOLA.
tile into highly explosive gases when
properly mixed with air.
1.-THE entente countries, which are
now cut OFF from the American supply.
are using benzol in their military
motors without changing the design
Of either the motor or the carburetof.
The application of benzol as a motor
fuel must receive a marked impetus In
this country at the close of the Euro.
pean conflict. since the supply that Il
being consumed in the manufacture Of
explosives will be diverted to the
motor fuel market"

Suggests Wheel Tax.

A wheel tax to help maintain i'm
proved roads is strongly recommended
by DR.. Joseph Hyde Pratt secretary of
the North Carolina state highway COM
mission. While all property owners
are taxed for building roads. and
rightly so. because they are a general
asset. the roads are worn out by the
people who use them. So DR.. Pratt
recommends taxing automobiles ac-
cording to their horse power and
weight and other vehicles according
to their capacity, width of tires and
relative location of front and rear
wheels. the tax being lower If the dis
lance between the front wheels is diff
ferent from that between the rear
wheels. At the present time such a
wheel tax Is a novelty, the nearest
approach to it in the United States

Making Study of Roads.

T. NJ. Ripley. division engineer of the
New York highway commission at
Watertown, has been making a serious
study OF road construction and main
tenance in that state. and has reached
a number of wise conclusions. There
are in New York state S0,112 miles of
public roads Of which only 23,198 miles
have been surfaced" or improved.
What are known as designated state
and county highway systems" cover a
length of 1888 miles, of which 1888
miles are completed or are under con-
tract. SO that New York, which is fore
most in 80 many good things, seems to
have been somewhat Indifferent to this
great cause, although it's expenditures
on account of good roads have reached
very large figures Mr.. Ripley has
found that the earlier roads built in
the state were made for nothing heavier
than horse drawn traffic and that they
are not equal to the great strain Of the
changing traffic of the present day.
ed with light loads from three to eight
miles the hour. has been crowded off
the course by motor vehicles carrying
much heavier loads and going from
that could stand with comparatively
little wear the older traffic is not at
all suited to the new.
Under, the old order the roads could
be kept In fairly. good condition at
comparatively small expense: under the
new order the old roads must either
be rebuilt from the. ground up or
provision be made for such maintenance
as will make them do until new and
better construction can be devised at
an expense which an already tax-bur-
dened people cannot stand. The type
of road has changed materially in late
years and is constantly changing. Five
or six years ago the road builders in
New York were making roads that
would take care of the increasing
automobile traffic. The bottom Of the
roads then were made of three or four
inches of broken stone; the size of the
stone has been increased now to six
inches or more, bound with .bituminous
material, or a more expensive type Of
road >of concrete or brick has been
adopted. The cost has multiplied great
ly and yet the precise type of road
has probably not been found for the
, steadily increasing weight OF trafic.
Roads that were built only hve or six
years ago were not designed for the
franc Of the pfssent day, ana even the

of traffic coming over the bridge the
motorists were held UP. on the Perry
willie end Of the bridge for fve minutes
until the last vehicle had landed on the
PerryvilIe side.
A slight detour was necessary after
leaving Havre de Grace owing to re-
pairs being made to the road. but even
under these conditions Churchville was
reached at 1887 O'Clock and Belair at
1915 o'clock. The next town on the

The stops on the run amounted to
fourteen minutes. Two minutes were
lost at Newark, n. j.. where the draw
bridge was open; one minute at Els
mere junction on account OF freight
train. and three minutes at Marshali-
ton for n train. The other stops were
at Marcus Hook for fuel and at the
susquehanna bridge. In the entire run
the motor never heated up and only 4
pint OF water was necessary when the
stop was made for fuel at Marcus
Hook. The car was equipped with
Rayfield carburetor, Boyce motto meter,
Gabriel snubbers and Empire tires.
The, roads were found in good con-
dition. although rather rough in places
In New Jersey. where they were found
badly cut up on account OF the recent
rains. The boulevard MAS followed in-
to Phfladelphia from Trenton and again
