BRITAIN SAVING FOOD.

The British food ministry has asked the British

Germanys example and issue food cards.
When food scarcity menaces England. it's time for
America to take heed. High prices alone a warn

which steadily increased since the began it
seems impossible that ourselves may feel the
pinch of before the war and its aftermath

The present British limitation cen hardly be regard

and French, German. Austrian Italian Belgian Ser

If the seas remain open more of our food supply
than flow Europe, to relieve the famine in
the allied and neutral countries. In that case our
people really feel the pinch If the closed

necessity or from desire to leave for starving
millions beyond the sea. Wen do we'll make more

May Be Used as a Substitute for
Gasoline.
Idea Originated Abroad Where Il
Has Been Used With Complete
Success.

Washington.-Ofiic here are
greatly Interested In a new plan for
conserving gasoline by substituting
coal gas for propelling automobiles
and other engines requiring gasoline.
The idea originated abroad. where
such conservation is vital. Details Of
the formula for the substitution have
been sent to this country and the
idea promises a speedy development.
Besides, the high cost of gasoline,
many factors make substitute desir-
able.
SO successful has the substitute
proved In England for example, that
charging stations may be found about
every FIVE miles In some parts of the
country. In view Of this success much
attention is now being devoted to the
development Of the plan here and
abroad.
About $50 cubic feet of coal gas is
required to equal gallon Of gasoline.
For this reason suitable containers
have not been found. The best ar

made of balloon fabric. fastened to a
light wooden rack on top Of the car.
From this supply pipe runs down the
edge Of the wind shield on the carbu-
retor side Of the engine and dis
charges the gas either directly into the
carburetor or into the intake near the
carburetor. A check valve obviates
the danger Of backfire, and a cut-on
enables the driver to use gasoline while
carrying gas, or vice versa. In the
same pipe is connection for the gas
supply main to be used when the gas
bag is filed. The operation requires
about ten minutes.
A difficulty. however, is that an en-
gine propelled by coal gas develops
only 90 per cent of the power that is
obtained from gasoline. 1t is neces-
sary, to drive at high speed to get
/, the best results. One remedy. how
ever, is the mixing in of regulated
supply Of acetylene gas, which supplies
the necessary kick.

SAVES ARMY WASTE
War Department Has Saved Upwards
Of $1,000, 900 on Waste Materials
Of All Kinds.

Washington.-Waste material is be-
ing conserved by the war department,
and money is being made out of 1t.
At every National army and Ma
tIonal Guard camp special officers
have been detailed to have an eye
to the penny to be saved through
careful conservation of waste mate
rails. Refuse from the mess halls are
being placed in separate receptacles,
fertilizer from the stables is to he
sold to farmers living in the territory
Of the camps to save freight rates,
and garbage likewise is to be disposed
Of to the highest bidder among stock
men raising hogs.
Lieut.. Col J. Austin Ellison has been
placed in charge OF the division Of
conservation. He has the distinction
OF having called the attention of the
war department TO the vast saving
that would result IL care were exer-
cised in disposal of refuse. Thus far
the department has saved upwards Of
S2.000,000 on waste materials.
The garbage from the mess Of from
10 to 10 soldiers. II is estimated. will
feed one hog day. Hogs win gain on
an average Of one pound day on this
ration for the first 100 days. govern
ment experts have determined. The
refuse from each cantonment will be
sufficient to feed 1000 hogs a day.
This means an increase of 1,460.000
pounds Of pork for the country each
year.
Colonel Ellison has injected into
camp life a certain class distinction
in the disposal Of garbage. At the
camps the care Of the garbage is a
regular ceremonial Waste material
is divided into classes, and special
receptacle Is provided for each class
There Is a can for bones. one for rope
