OIL GENIUS GIVES U. 5.
GREAT WAR FUEL SECRET
TWELVE-FOLD INCREASE OF
DRIVING POWER

DFlIN tlNG Wv Ell
/ SanFrancisco, Oct 13.--One of the
great contributions towards winning
the war has just been made by hith-
ertO obscure chemist of San Francisco
whose process for refining gasoline
from crude oil, just discovered and
offered to the government without
compensation, is said to increase by
| twelve times the amount of gas recov-
cred from the crude.
| The chemist is Frederick Kormann,
who has just returned from Washing
ton, where Secretary Of the Interior
Lane accepted his process for the gov
eminent after careful tests had been
checked up his claims.
Together with his wife, who has
learned chemistry by his side that she
might help him with his experiments
Kormann has perfected his formula
since the United States entered the
war.
He has also been working upon
gasoline substitute, chemical treat
ment of water which forms a water
gas. He is offering that as we'll to-
the government.
"This process simply means the
perfection of a method of making a
larger volume of efficient motor spir-
its, which may be used in every way
that gasoline now is usad-for trans
portation, for airplane work, for all
of the innumberable purposes to
which gasoline is put" said Kormann.
"There will be extracted by this
process from every barrel of crude oil
or AZ gallons, fifty-two per cent of gas
cline It will utilize the waste now
useless for gasoline not only with the
California crude oil but with the |
Pennsylvania oil, where the large |
kerosene content is not available for >
motor fuel
"The process reconverts this waste
back into motor spirit, processed and |
treated chemically so that the entire
body operates exactly as does gaso-
line, and is gasoline, with a great deal !
more efficiency than the present pro-
duct
"The process can be operated much |
more cheaply than the present meth
cd, and the ordinary plant now used |
can easily be made adaptable to- the /
new method.
"Under the present method of treat
ment the average of California crude
Gil does not exceed per cent of gaso-
oline, in fact that is a very large maxi !
mum estimate of the amount produc-
cd. On California crudes the process
will increase the output twelyes
times. Really the majority Of Cali
fornia crude oil carries not more than
2 or per cent of gasoline by the or
binary distillation process
'Now the waste so far az the out
put of gasoline is concerned, is in the
the kerosenes and the
stove distillates. Il is this waste
which is treated under he new process
and the treatment makes of it the
motor fuel which can be used exactly
as gasoline is used.
"Tha spirit thus manufactured with
stands all Of the same conditions of
nracura and tanonnraturn which paco-
line stands and is fthe same con-

Dr. Edmonds Makes Brief Reply to
 Rev. R. l.. Durant

The Rev. pr. H. M. Edmonds, pastor of the Independent Presbyterian church, yesterday replied briefly to statement published in Wednesdays Age-Herald by the Rev. R. l.. Durant, pastor of the Baptist church in Pratt City. Mir. Du- rants letter had been occasioned by the signed editorial by Dr. Edmonds in last Sundays Age-Herald under the heading: About the Catholics" Dr. Emonds' re- ply is as follows:. IT. the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 am sorry MT. Durant has seen fit to answer my article in The Sunday Age Herald, and I am writing this only to escape the charge of discourtesy to him.
 He takes me to task for confusing the issue and saying that Catholics are criti- cized for their religion rather than for their improper political activities. That is just what did not do. for wrote: {: questions of evidence, we straightway said about religious federation was un- der the heading of that sentence. made no accusation; pointed out a danger
 Then he brings forward evidences I had hoped to prevent that also in my statement: That, of course. is @ matter of evidence however, and every indi- vidual ought to look at the evidence and come to his own conclusion.' He has looked at the evidence and reached his conclusion. I have done the same Yours sincerely. HENRY M. EDMONDS.

MANAGER FREIGHT BUREAU LEAVES CITY
Slater to Open Bureau in Montgomery-Had Been
 Urged for Place Here

J. T. Slater, former manager of the freight bureau of the Merchants and Manufacturers association, leaves for Montgomery today to open a freight and traffic bureau in that city.
 MT. Slater had been manager of the freight bureau for a number of years. The office was abolished with the depart ment when the traffic bureau of the Chamber of Commerce was organized several months ago.
 Friends of MT. Slater who knew of the work he had done In the effort to get better freight rates for Birmingham were hopeful that he would be the man ager of the new organization. However, he was made such splendid offer in Montgomery with the freight bureau there that he felt called upon to accept.
 There are no new developments in the situation regarding a manager for the traffic bureau, according to President M. P. Northington. It is hoped that an- nouncement of the manager and the ex act date of the opening of the bureau may be announced within a short while, according to MT. Northington.
 In the removal of MT. Slater to Mont gomery, this city loses one of its promi- nent women and one of its most ardent suffragists, Mrs. J. T. Slater. Mrs. Stat ter will remain in Birmingham during the suffrage convention, and will then join MT. Slater in Montgomery. She has been an enthusiastic worker in the local suffrage association for several years.

 Soon by Court

Coroner c. c. Wiley and his attorney, Walter Brewer, and County Attorney w. K. Terry, representing the board of rev. enue, are in Montgomery, where they will appear before the supreme court and will submit briefs as to whether the bill under which the coroner of Jefferson county is now operating is constitutional The briefs will be submitted without ar gument as all facts are agreed on and the question is one of law only.
 The case will be presented to the su- preme court on appeal from the decision of Judge H. A. Sharpe, who recently granted a mandamus requiring the board of revenue to issue warrant for the payment of the coroner's salary.
 An early decision is expected, as the case is preferred one and the salaries of Dr. Wiley. his assistant, John R. T.. Rives. and clerk, Miss Hattie Marx, arc held up pending the ruling of the su- preme court.

ROTAR|ANS HEAR OF
 WORK DONE AT BOYS INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
ROtarians Name Committee to Cooperate With Local Institution-TuscalOOsa
 Club Here Next Week

The narrowing sight of mere children yesterday before the Rotary club, when Mrs. R. D. Johnston outlined the history of the Boys Industrial school.
 It was largely this condition that prompted her to conceive the idea of founding a school of correction for the children of Alabama, she told the Rota- rians, who had gathered to celebrate the twelfth anniversary of the founding of the International Association of Rotary clubs.
 Advancing from the advent of the East Lake school, made possible when the leg isature upset all predictions by donating 5000 year for such an institution, Mrs. Johnston told of the school that is car- ing for 365 boys with slightly more in- come than s52.0o0 year. The speaker pictured graphically how the boys were taught to make their own shoes, fashion their clothes, till the soil. play musical instruments and provide by their own eff forts for themselves.
 The Rotary club, having become in- terested in the industrial school, has ap- pointed committee lO see II tne lIIlil0- diate needs of the boys for more lands, new instruments for the band and bet ter recreation facilities may not be real ized.
 In commemoration of the founding of the Rotary club, two papers were read to the members. T. H. Rennie, upon the topic, Origin and Growth of Ro- tary," told how in 12 years the idea had grown to incorporate 267 clubs and 29.25o members. The spirit and Ideals that have made such an expansion possible were outlined by F. P. Glass. who addressed the club upon Rotary and the Modern Spirit
 Attending the meeting was delega- ton from Gadsden, composed of Prof. w. c. Griggs, Earl Lay and Adolph R eich It is understood that the Gads- den men came to Birmingham with the idea of petitioning for a charter at Gads- den.
 At the next luncheon the 25 members of the Tuscaloosa Rotary club will be the guests of the Birmingham Rotarians.

SHORTEN SCHEDULE
 OF MOBILE TRAINS
Thirty Minutes to Be Saved by Southern Trains to
 Selma and Mobile

The local trains of the Southern rail- way will run the distances between Bir- mingham, Selma and Mobile in less time, according to an announcement made last night by James Freeman, assistant gen. eral passenger agent of the Southern railway.
 Effective at noon today, the Southern railway trains will abandon the old Woodlawn-Bessemer" lines in going to and from Bessemer, and will make use of the Alabama Great Southern tracks to Burstall, which is just two miles from Bessemer Formerly these trains made 22 stops between Birmingham and Bes- semer. In the future. by using the A. G. s. tracks, there will be but one stop, Woodward crossing. Northbound trains will continue to discharge passengers at Twentieth street, however
 Thirty minutes will be saved and Bir- mingham will receive full benefit of the change. The trains affected are No. 19 and No. 20; No. 27 and No. 2S. After noon today, No. 1S, which left at 5:S0 a. m. for Selma, will depart at 5:55. No. 29, which left at 4:10 p. m., will leave at 4:30 D. m.
 The time of arrivals from Selma and Mobile will be speeded up. No. B will arrive at 10 o'clock instead of 1925 a. m., as formerly, while No. 20 will reach Bir- mingham from Mobile at 605 p. m., in- stead of 6:30, as when the old route was followed.
 The old route will be followed this morning by the southbound train, while No. 2S will arrive at Birmingham over the old tracks also.

Birmingham shivered during the cold spell, but the poor did not suffer. The welfare department of the city supplied more than 100 families with coal and virtually the same number with grocer les. clothing and medicine. Not a single person, gripped by the pinch of hunger or needful of coal, was refused by the relief and corrections department.
 The wagons were kept busily on the run, supplying the needy with coal, food and clothes. As a consequence the car- load of coal that was donated by the Alabama company is nearly depleted

 The city pays the operating expenses, but the department is run by subscrfp tions and donations. Virtually every large coal company has given car of coal to the work, while other persons have supplied money to provide other comm oddities.
 The charity of the department was shared by more than 600 individuals The causes of poverty were generally "out of work" assertion, illness of the wage earner and tough luck.''
