Alcohol seldom appears in lists Of
raw materials required in the field Of
productive industry. In many minds
It is associated only with intoxicat-
Ing liquors, and SO is regarded as u
social curse and a menace to civiliza-
ton. But there Is quite another side
to the matter. Alcohol as a raw ma
terial has Its place In q multitude Of
our industrial enterprises. Many Of
them would be quite impossible with
out IL.
In June. 1905. the Congress of the
United States. following the example
OF the leading nations OF Europe, rec
ognized the difference between alcohol
used ~ q beverage and alcohol used
In art, science and industry. There
was then passed what Is known rs
the denatured alcohol law. In its ma
ture alcohol Is an intoxlcant. The So
called "denaturation" Is effected by
the admixture of some one or more OF
n number of substances by which al
cohol' is made utterly disgusting or
repulsive either to the taste or to the
stomach. Only in rare cases Of ex-
treme desperation Is denatured alcohol
VNti hbNti 10 . III liiht aihu Ah hAtOot ~
those infrequent cases the experience
is never repeated. 1t Is to be under
stood that this refers to alcohol as a
commodity entirely distinct from such
liquors as whiskey. rum. gin. brandy
and other fluids Of their class and
kind. While all OF those contain alco-
hol 1t is widely inaccurate to refer to
them as alcohol.
While 1t is too often misused, alco-
hol is one Of natures most impor-
tant contributions to the welfare Of
the world. The notion Is common
that II Is an artificial substance pro-
ducod solely for drinking purposes.
This is true only to the extent that ~
Is produced for drinking. quite as our
familiar white sugar Is produced for
eating. But both sugar and alcohol
are natural substances, and sugar is
the base of alcohol. As fruits ripen,
sugar by a natural process is de-
veloped in their juices. AS they be-
come overripe the sugar Is also natu-
rally converted into alcohol.
Nature doubtless long before man
appeared on the earth produced alcohol
through the operation Of what is now
known as fermentation. Ages later
man discovered that this. fermented
substance taken in moderation brought
about a feeling Of pleasurable exhil-
aration, while taken in excess it stu
pefied. The earliest experience OF this
kind was in ale probability with the
naturally fermented juices OF the wild
grape. Presumably the original dis
covery was accidental. We may as
sumo that the next step. perhaps long
after the original discovery. was con-
troll. the storing Of the exhilarating
iuice to make It accessible when de-

Question Taken Up by y. S.

War Mission.
WANT THEM IN ARMY
Washington Believes Their
Place Is Here to Help in !.
Production.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, June 6.-General Gug-
lielmotti. military attache OF the Ital-
ian war mission. will remain in this
country after the departure of the
mission to supervise the operation of
a plan designed to solve the problem
arising from the uncertain status of
Italians of military age In this coun-
try. The question Is one of the impor-
tant ones discussed by the mission
with American officials.
Italy will not bring up the question
OF whether these men should serve in
the Italian army. it is. learned. and
there will be no regiments of Italian
Americans sent to the front. Through
General Guglielmotti. however. the
1taRan government will endeavor to
recruit here as many of it's unnatural
ICED subjects as 1t can.
Settlement of the point came about
as the result of an appreciation by the
mission of the American government's
viewpoint
Would injure Labor.
The United States felt that If all
Italians Of military age were to be sent
back by the italian government, the
labor problem here would be seriously
actuated. The American government
emphasized the point that the men
who come within the scope of the
United states CONSUMPTION could not
officially serve under the Italian coll
ors. while the others would contrib
ute more efficiently to the economic
needs of the allies by remaining here.
The mission is ready, its members
made evident today, to reach an agree
ment that many of the Italians in this
country can give more effective serv-
ice continuing those following agri-
culture work in that occupation and
devoting those not SO engaged to po-
sitiOns where the national service will
be benefited most.
Two Thirds Eligible.
Italy's call to the colors included
men between the ages OF IS to 43 year.
and those not needing the call were
