FUEL FOR MOTORS
!. FOUND IN SAWDUST
Canadian Experimenters De-
veIop True Grain Alcohol
From Wood Waste.
MIGHT REPLACE GASOLINE

The development of sawdust through
the newest scientific methods into a
true grain alcohol, which can be used
as a fuel for automobiles, is now being
worked out on the Canadian side OF the
international boundary, according to
officials of the laboratory OF the fed
eral forest service in Madison, Wis,
which was a pioneer in this line of ex-
permenting.
II am inclined to think, however,
said Howard F. Weiss. director of the
American laboratory, that the Cana
dian forester who prophesies that Cana
dian-made alcohol will eventually be
distributed through underground pipes
like city gas. is a little too enthusiastic
in his views. He is, however. on the
right track in the development of al
cohol as a motor fuel

rivers, in central British Columbia.
where the forests have been giving
way to agriculture in part. but where
there is still a limitless supply of big
timber. This territory has recently
been opened up by the new transconti-
mental Grand Trunk Pacific, and it is
on woods taken from this region that
the experiments for the production OF
alcohol have been carried on. The
wood waste is broken down by distilla-
ton and the wood alcohol produced
converted by simple processes into a
true grain alcohol.

IN ROAD Improvement
Estimate Of Amount to Be Used by
United States in 1917 for Bet
tering Highways.

OMAHA Neb, March 31.-More than
s300.000.O00 will be spent on road i'm
provement in the United States during
the coming year, according to those in
a position to speak with authority.
These figures indicate a thorough awak-
ening and appreciation of the need of
better roads on the part of the public
at large which is very significant.
One of the factors which is undoubt-
edly responsible for this tremendous ex-
penditure IS the prospect of federal aid
to the states in the building of roads.
The khead-Shackleford act, under
which government appropriations was
made. has stirred no uncertain activity
in the endeavor to meet its require
ments. One of these is the establish
ment of highway department in those
states not at present having any central
authority in control of road construc-
ton.
The main, through. connected routes
of travel are being urged for the first
benefits of improvements in practically
all localities, due in no small degree to
the marvellous increase in long distance
motor travel which has developed.
Thousands of signatures have been
placed on petitions addressed to the
governors of the states through which
the Lincoln highway is routed asking
that an equitable sum be expended in
needed improvements of that thorough
fare from the state and federal funds.

May Replace Gasoline.

With approximately 100000 motor
vehicles doing duty in the United
States. from 1000, 900, 900 to 1900, 100000
gallons of gasoline have to be provided
annually to keep them running. There
are unmistakable signs that the pro-
duction of this enormous volume of
gasoline will become increasingly diff
cult and, as a consequence, there is in
the minds of many automobile engine
students the vague thought that gaso-
line. while the fuel of today. may have
to give way to some other product
tomorrow.
Although the calorific power of alco-
hol is little more than one-half that of
gasoline, its greater eficiency-alcohol,
2S per cent: gasoline. 16 per cent
compensates for this. This higher eff
cheney of alcohol is due to various
causes. chief among which are the fol-
lowing:
l. The volume of air required for
complete combustion of alcohol is only
about one-third that required by gaso-
line. and thus much less energy goes
away in the exhaust. Moreover. this
small dilution with air enables a more
perfect mixture to be formed with con-
sequent more perfect combustion.
2. The alcohol-air mixture can be
safely subjected to Dressures of 200
pounds a square inch without spon-
taneous ignition. whereas the safety
limit for gasoline is eighty.
8. All mixtures Of alcohol and air
containing from to 1876 per cent Of
alcohol are explosive. whereas the ex-
plosiye range for gasoline Is from to
5. per cent. necessitating much more
careful ,carburetor adjustment
4. The combustion products of alco-
hol are smokeless. almost odorless and
do not clog up the cylinders and valves.

Stadelman of Akron, Ohio. who has just
returned from a four months visit to
Brazil and Argentine.
Both Buenos Aires and Rio Janeiro
are very beautiful, well policed and
kept scrupulously clean. Both have
magnificent boulevards over which a
constant stream of motor cars passes.
1t seemed to me that there must be
more cars on these thoroughfares than
anywhere else in the world.
Most of these cars are European, al
though American cars have been intro
duced and are rapidly coming into pop
uiar favor. Taxicabs are numerous and
are heavily patronizsd. \ chauffeur
and footman are assigned to each car

The only serious difficulty encoun-

Of all the possible sources. the most

This material in the vicinity of saw

amounting to about $4,000, 900. in addi-
ton to the value Of the wood so
