PRODUCTION OF GASOLINE
IN WORLD.
Method Found for Getting Greater
Amount of COmbustible Fluid Out

Consumers of gasoline throughout
the country will learn with relief the
announcement that San Francisco
chemist has discovered means OF
increasing the "gas" supply so great
ly as to eliminate any danger of a
shortage, with a consequent increase
in price and decrease in joy riding
The discovery of remarkable
process for distilling by Frederick
A. Kornmann of San Francisco, it is
said, will increase the gasoline out
put of the United States twelve fold
The shortage will be overcome and
through the patriotic tender of the
discoverer, the United States govern
ment has been given the free use oil

Government Accepts.
The federal government has &C.
copied the proposition of Kornmanr
and his associates and will erect 6
plant at once for the production Of
gasoline under the newly discovered
process, a process which the discov
erer says, is as simple as the presen1
method, requiring but little modi
fication of the system now in use.
1t was presented to Secretary O.
the Interior Franklin K. Lane and tc
others close to President Wilson

line as against the production of So
per cent of gasoline from every bar
rel of crude oil that is treated under
the process.
kornmann, who is a professional
chemist, has been working for several
years on several phases of gasoline
and oil chemistry. Some time ago he
was induced to take up the problem
of gasoline on account of the ap-
parent shortage which was being
freely discussed in oil circles. The
outbreak of the war led him, he said
recently, to go into the question of
increasing the product.
Kornmann refused commercial Of
fers for the secret.
Uses Waste Oil.
The process reconverts waste oil
back into motor spirits, processed
and treated chemically, so that the
entire body operates exactly as does
gasoline and is gasoline, with great
deal more efficiency than the pres
ent product.
Kornmann has been given permits
sion by the United States government
to dispose of rights outside of the
United States, where they will not
fall into enemy hands.
Kornmann says that he has the
protection of general act which has
already passed the senate so far as
the commercial use of the process
is concerned. But the government
will have it free of all cost for that
period.

LOAD ALL CARS HEAVILY
HELP OUT WAR TRAFFIC

Montana shippers are urged to load
their cars to capacity as a shortage
of freight cars is expected as result
of the heavy demand for rolling stock
made by the government to transport
provisions to the new national army

1t is estimated that $500 cars
daily will be required by the govern

men in training at the national army,

OIL. WHITE. STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White of St. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and a
large. number of villa sites on Flat
head lake.. was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there is no more
beautiful country lying out OF doors
than that found along the shores of
Montana's greatest lake and. he. has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum of money there in real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon to Poison, it is prob
able that more citizens of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section of Montana. 1t is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation of summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will ap-
preciate this fact. The colonel al
most single-handed is doing a great
deal to advertise the Flathead coun-
try, in the east and he is entitled to
the hearty support of the people of
this commonwealth in these efforts.

When the Montana soldier boys go
into the trenches in Europe they will
be members of the most scientifically
armed and most carefully trained
army in the world.
Profiting by the experience of the
various allied countries in their bat
ties against the Teutonic powers the
war department. has reorganized the
infantry service of the national army
and prepared to equip the army now
being assembled with weapons, which
the fighting in Europe has shown are
the most needed. One of the lessons
learned is that battles will be decided
by foot soldiers, fighting breast to
breast, with bombs, bayonets and
knives.
Included in the equipment of
American regiments which enter the
trenches are "trench knives 'one of
the most up-to-date developments of
European battlefields. In addition,
each infantry division will have 416
machine guns. Less than two years
ago the American army had not more
than 1900 of these weapons for it's
entire active and reserve stock.
American troops will enter the
trenches equipped and organized in a
way that no other army engaged in
the war has been able to provide.
Every lesson learned by the allies has
been adapted promptly and the over
seas units will be supplied with every
weapon found useful.

The letter reads: 1T gives me

North Carolina measured well over 30
per cent and has been admitted to the
registration area for births for the
year 1917. A detailed report OF the
test will be sent you shortly Our
special agents have returned from
North Carolina and have nothing but
glowing accounts to give OF the cor

This means. according to the State
Board of Health, that North Carolina
is reporting all. or at least over 80 per
cent Of her births and that birth sta
tistics as well as her death statistics
will be accepted by the United States
and foreign governments. For the

cially inspected the completeness OF
the birth reporting made to the vital

and found that the State was not only
reporting far above the required per-
