on all sides, though those proposing
to overthrow the Government admit
the uselessness of such action.
The correspondent. whose presence
is known throughout the city, has had
many visitors, one Of whom said he

annex Austria to the United States.
He said that Austria was NOW in a

TESTED BY GOVERNMENT

EDefd0i
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-What may
be the solution Of the problem OF find
ing a cheaper and more efficient sub
stitute for gasolene has just been an
nounced here by two army engineer
officers with the permission Of the War
Department.
They are Major oliver B. thinner
mann and Capt. E. c. Weisgerber OF
the Gas and Oil Division, and both
men of national reputation in this line.
Major Zimmerman before entering
the army at the outbreak Of the war
was consulting engineer Of the Inter
national Harvester Company. Capt.
weisgerber was a consulting gas, oil
and chemical engineer in Pittsburg,
who far seven years has been working
on this problem.
The announcement that a substitute
has at last been found is made def
nitely and without qualification. In
making it Capt. Weisgerber says he
fully realizes that all previous efforts
along this line have failed: that every
previous announcement has fallen
short of the mark for one reason or
another, and that consequently his
statement is going to be challenged
from thousand sources by incredu-
lous experts everywhere.
BY way OF proof he offers a series
OF exhaustive tests conducted under
practical conditions with airplanes,
motorcycles, automobiles, trucks, &C.,
all under Government supervision. In
addition he offers the reports made by
the United States Bureau of Standards,
which was naturally sceptical and
sought to find any possible reason
against the product before announcing
it OF value.
Major Zimmerman and Capt.
Weisgerber made the following state
ments, which they say they stand
ready to demonstrate, regarding the
new fuel, called Liberty fuel" be-
cause it has been developed in con-
nection with the Liberty motor:
1t can be used by automobilists in
place of gasolene without any change
in the carbureter and without any
detrimental effects on the car.
1t can be used Gin other grades) for
airplanes and has shown results SUI
perior to gasolene.
1t can be produced in quantity for
less than one-half the cost Of gasolene.
1t gives more mileage a gallon,
greater speed and has less heating
effect on the lubricating oil than gaso-
lene.
1t has II per cent higher fuel
economy than export gasolene.
| 1t starts easier than gasolene.

Less OIL Needed with It.

The bureau OF standards reports
that it has per cent. greater horse
power and 2 per cent. greater eff
cheney than gasolene. It is almost
scenuess and tasteless and gives prac-
tically no scent in Justification. The
products Of combustion are much
cooler than gasolene. SO that the
amount of oil used for fabrication is
reduced as we'll as the amount of
water used in the radiator for cooling.
Figures on tests conducted include,
for example, a 305 mile ride on a
motor cycle with side car, first with
gasolene and next with Liberty fuel.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS ON FUEL
CONSERVATION.

If@weather conditions this winter
are severe there is every Indication
that there will be a much more SER
ious fuel shortage in this state this
winter than there was last, according
to Charles Webster, State Fuel Admin
istratOr for Iowa. In spite of the fact
that the majority Of the consumers
have responded Loyalty to the appeal
to store coal early there are yet a
number of communities in the state
where sufficient reserve stocks have
not been built up-due in some cases
to the inability to secure coal. Gener-
al Pershing has said that thousands
of lives of our boys can be saved II
he is furnished with sufficient sup
ply Of steel, and the production Of
steel is dependent almost entirely on
coal production. Therefore, in the
very real sense of the word, every
pound of coal wasted is direct blow
at the military forces Of the nation.
Coal shortage In this state can be
averted through economies by all in
fividual consumers and the Fuel Adj
ministratiOn has prepared number
of suggestions, which If followed will
help the situation greatly. They are:
Z /. Start furnace and kitchen-range
fires as late as possible. Forget the
first few Fall days Put up with lit
tie discomfort and remember what the
boys lover there" daily face. ~.
p. Raise window curtains during the
day to admit sunlight for that is free
heat. Dispense with awnings, as they
shut out the sun.
3. Weather strip all doors and win
dows and put asbestos around all fur
naces, boilers and cellar pipes used
for heating purposes.
4. Reduce the home temperature to
67 degrees. Do not wait until the mer-
curry shows "a degrees before closing
drafts.
5. Bedrooms where windows are
opened at night or otherwise should be
for the night or otherwise should be
shut off from heat. Use blankets and
feel better in the morning.
g. Wear heavier clothing. This
materially saves body heat.
Z Thoroughly clean SCOT from pipes
and boilers and do not mind doing
little work in the cellar seeing that
window panes are tight and weather.
stripped like the other parts of the
house.
5. Burn oil, wood, coke and bitumin-
GUS coal when possible, use gas for
cooking and heating. Gas lighting at
night aids in heating the home, stores
and buildings where used.
g. Use heavy draperies on doors and
windows for interior home decorating.
10. Remember you are not fighting
in trench exposed to all kinds OF
weather. Your men are and have be-
come hardened by contact with the
back to nature idea. They are also
healthier and more robust.

Beeswax for Cracks.

Cracks in furniture may be filled in
with beeswax. Soften the wax until
it is like putty, then firmly press 1t
into the cracks and smooth over with
a thin steel knife. Sandpaper over
the surrounding wood and work the
dust into the wax. This gives wood
finish or color and when the furniture
is vanished tile cracks will disappear.
Beeswax is better than putty, for
putty soon dries, crumbles, and falls
out.

Disposal Of Rags and Other Waste
Materials.
The shortage of wool makes it i'm
perative that rags be saved and sold
to commercial concerns, to be used
for remanufacture and paper. Rags

er cities of the state. If there is not
a rag dealer in your own town, find
the name of the one nearest you.
You have read in the papers the last
week or two concerning peach stones,
pits of fruit Of all kinds, which are
supposed to be so good for gas masks.
Be sure to save all of them and bring
them to the grocery stores and ar

will do the most good. Just a bit of
forethought when you are canning
and putting up peaches or plums
might do the government considerable
good as the carbon of these is said
to be especially valuable in making
