REASON FOR SHORTAGE
Many Freight Cars Stand Idle
With Autos in Them
Shipped Too Early.

Il don't like to tell tales out Of

Rueschaw, sales manager of the Roo
Motor Car company. but | will say
this: If automobile manufacturers
would Pay less attention to the ticker
tape and more to the real business of
making and selling cars there wouldn't
be nearly the railroad congestion nor
the car shortage there is
Here's the idea: 4 lot of concerns
are eager to make a good showing
on paper. They play on the fact that
the pubic that deals in stock margins
does not know that automobiles ship
ped from the factory may not be auto
mobiles sold, though on the surface it
looks like it,
SO they ship on dealers allotment
schedules made some months pre-
vious. Many dealers are not prepared
at this time to pay the sight draft and
take deliveries, and the result is n
siding for days. weeks-yes. months, in
some cases. Cars shipped in December
may not be unlJadcd TIL May. Ere
quently they have to be re finished be-
fore customers will accept them,
THE records show that thousands of
freight cars are being used in that
way for storage purposes, to the end
that the stock quotations may look
good TO SPECTATORS. \ few concerns
are monopolzing the freight-car sup
ply while those who have 4 lively dc
mand can't ship.
And, mind you, those re the big

Wind Was Motive Power Of
Ancient CarriageSteam
Applied After 100.

Although the first gasoline automo- :,
bile was invented in 1s92 in America,
horscless vehicles of various types had
been produced centuries earlier ac-
cording to a history Of the AUTOMOBILES
recently complied BY G. S. Riemao, yicc
president OF the Elgin Motor, Car com
pany.
The first vehicle without animal
power is found in ancient Chinese rec
ords which describe kite carriages
which were driven by wind blowing
against sails attached to the body. saws
the history. /
This idea was later transferred to
England and In the reign Of King.
James ! patent was granted to Hugh
Upton for a wind-driven carriage. 4
The next efforts to perfect a self
propelled machine camc' in the 18th
century when IA man named sPifichbecls
built am-rropelied car which ran
40 minutes without stopping. g
In 1853 the English inventor Laid
further perfected the steam machine
and carried five passengers Mt d rate
of six miles an hour. This was fonE
before the invention of the locomotive.
IN 1902 Richard Trevithick built a
steam carriage which ran more than 90
miles and was later exhibited in Lon
DON
The first practical steam carriage.
however. was built by Walter Hand
cock "a few years later. This machine
ran 1900 miles and carried 4 total of
12T61 passengers.
The first internal combustion engine
was invented by 4Abbe D'Hautcfeuille
in 1878. The explosive power of gun
powder was used to drive a piston in
a cylinder This principle was later
adopted in the gasoline engine.
The first gas engine was invented
in 1854 by Gottlieb Daimler, who APP
piled it to a bicycle a year later.
1t was after experimenting with this
engine that G. r. Duryea built the first
automobile in 1892. This machine was
not successful. as there was not enough
power to drive it except under ideal
conditions, and two years later Duryea
built a four cylinder car which was
quite successful.
Since then the development of the
automobile has been rapid.

Offers Substitute
For Gasolene to u. S.
Especial Correspondence

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 81. V. Nevin, a
manufacturing chemist here, to-day an
nounced he has discovered chemical
which, added TO l2S parts water, has
all Of the qualifications of gasolene.
The formula, which can be prepared
at cost of about cents a gallon,
will be offered 20 the United States
government FOR its use and the use OF
the Allies during the war.
Nevins stated that the chemical Of
his discovery is identical or similar TO
the announced discovery Of Louis En-
richt, who was enjoined by the Su-
preme Court Of New York last week
from selling the details of his discov-
cry TO the German government through
agents, as the petition of prohibition
stated he was trying 10 do. Nevin says
he can prove his discovery to the
United States agents and turn the for
mula over for the use Of the War De
pertinent
The substitute he has evolved, Nevin
states, carries l6 per cent OF hydrogen
and per cent Of ethylene gas, while
gasolene carries only - per cent OF
hydrogen and per cent of ethylene
gas. He claims on the face Of this
statement that the substitute is OF
greater value than gasoleHe.
