,us of which is prohibited during
the war to save gasoline, back to
its own. 1t will at any rate solve
the problem of the propulsion of
motor trucks for commercial pur-
poses.
TO one of England's leading
automobile periodicals, the Com
mercial Motor, belongs the credit
for this new departure in trans
portation. Only a little while ago
this periodical suggested the idea,
encouraged experiments, gave
wide publicity to each success, and
finally found that it's campaign
had swept the whole country.
George F. Sharp, editor of
Commercial Motor, AN automo-
mile expert Of wide experience,
speaking of the new development,
said:
Some Economy.
"To begin with, there is the
great economy of using coal gas
in lieu of petrol. Under present
conditions in England, 25 cents
worth of gas will run a car as far
as SO cents worth of petrol! Mo-
tor car engines constructed for
the use of petrol will run on gas
practically dithout modification.
Goal gas consists of hydrogen
and methane, the latter being the
main constituent. Scientists tell
me that it may soon be CONNER
cially possible for the methane,
extracted from coal gas, to be
compressed to liquid. Then we
will have two fuels for motoring,
petrol as first class fuel, and
this new product as second
grade but highly useful fuel, per-
forming the vast majority of the
work in carrying on the nations
motor transportation"

BY KENNETH w. PAYNE
The Times Staff Reporter Who
Has just Returned From
England. -.

Save gasoline! 1t is the life
blood of the war. The great mo-
tor transport system at the front
depends on gasoline. The vast
aerial invasion Of Germany
planned for next year will be i'm
possible without copious supplies
of gasoline!"
This warning has been heard
and answered in England.
A substitute for gasoline has
been found for driving motor cars.
This substitute is just the Or
binary coal gas which we have
been using for years to light our
homes and cook our meals.
Motor trucks and limousines
alike have lately been a common
sight in London running about the
streets under a huge, ungainly gas
bag, like a balloon.
Laughed at First.
People laughed at these gawky
apparitions, at first. But now
people there recognize that they
mark as startling a revolution in
transportation as did the first
clumsy automobiles themselves.
The scheme is hardly more than
few months old, yet it has al
ready passed out of the awkward
age.
Cars are now beginning to put
in an appearance carrying the gas
stored under pressure in neat steel
tanks. A Limousine thus equip
ped looks as well with gas as with
gasoline tanks.
Already it has been established
that motor cars, built for propul-
sion by gasoline, will run just as
we'll on coal gas and at a cost less
than gasoline was ever sold for in
England even in peace time.
Solves Problem.
The city of Manchester already
has over 200 private cars being
run by coal gas. Taxis will prob
ably soon take up the same sys-
tenn.
Coal gas, the use of which is
encouraged rather than restricted,
may bring the pleasure car, the

WITH TACOMA AUTOMOBILE MEN
AMBU MEANS
BIG SAVING

"Ambu is one scientific device
for detecting starting and light
ing trouble" declares j. e. Nc
Eldowney of the McEldowney's
garage.
If autoists would only have
Detective Ambu test their light
ing and starting systems Of their
cars, say every month rso, it
would mean a saving of 10 to 20
per cent on the repair bill"
Since McEldowney installed
Ambu service at 14th and A

availed themselves of this service
which is nicknamed Trouble
