pants Of the car at the time it crashed

Coal Gas For Motors.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the Telegraph
recently to the economic advantage OF
the utilization OF coal gas as sub
stitute for petrol (gasolene) 1t has
been established by actual practice
that $50 cubic feet OF coal gas--the or
binary gas that Il used for household
illumination purposes-equals one gal
lon OF petrol when applied to the work
OF driving motor vehicle. II gas
costs ~ cents for 1000 cubic feet 1t Is
equivalent to petrol at Is cents gal
lon, and at SO cents for 1000 feet Is
equivalent to its competitor at "a cents
a gallon.
AS petrol can not be bought today
for commercial purposes at under As
to 5S cents a gallon, It will be seen
how great is the economy effected. So
far as the alterations rendered neces-
sary to the engine of motor vehicle
are concerned. the only additional ex-
penditure is about $3.50, and the gas
bag container for the storing of the
vapor costs SIS Thus. for the expen-
diture of $3.50, an ordinary petrol

Acial to es-Republican.

Special to TlmeS-Republlcan.
Ames, July 1O.-That Iowa farmers
are receiving effective service in this
critical time thru the newly organized
farm labor bureaus about the state is
revealed in the latest count made by
at Ames, which shows that 1000 men
have been placed for farm labor thru
152 Of the 341 bureaus. Reports from
the total number of bureaus, which
represent ninety-seven of the ninety
nine counties, would undoubtedly show
that more than 5000 men had been di-
rected to the farm thru this channel
This number is in addition to the
5000 high school boys and girls who
have gone to farms this summer to do
their bit, as reported from half the
high schools in the state.
OF the 5000 men placed, 1900 were
single and 800 married men. But thir-
ty of the bureaus report that addi-
tional help is needed. These ask for
400 single men and 30 married men.
Other bureaus are able to help fill this
demand with a surplus of twentyseven
single men and forty-se married.
Bureau at vinton Leads.
Altho the average number Of men
placed thru each bureau is twenty,
many Of them have placed many more
than this and few newly organized
bureaus, less. Einton is the banner
town, having placed 500 men; Red Oak
has placed go, and Davenport 1877.
There is slight shortage of men
and the demand will undoubtedly in
crease in the state during harvest
time" says the labor bureau extension
man at Ames 1--WE expect. however,
to be able to meet this thru the bu-
reaus' The department is working
toward the Establishment of perma-
nent bureaus in the state.
