Lindon W. Bates chairman OF the en-
cheering committee OF the Submarine
Defence Association. The oil industry
was a familiar story to Mr.. Bates. and
even before we joined in the European
war he had begun a specialized study
Of the oil fuel situation in the United
States and abroad and its relation to
the U-boat menace.
Physically 1t was comparatively
easy matter to mix pulverized coal
with oil, but the coal would not re-
main, except for n short while. in sus-
pension. it persisted in settling, or
precipitating. The heavy particles of
tar would invariably do the same thing
when mixed with fuel oil. The quest
was the discovery of means by which
this action of gravitation might be
arrested for a prolonged period.
Mr.. Bates was alive to the availa-
bility OF coal abroad, where oil has for
the most part to be imported, and
being conversant with previous ex
periments he turned to certain new
measures He essayed his task with
! a knowledge that powdered coal was a
commercial fuel, and in some respects
made clear to him that pulverized coal
burned alone could not in many cases
supplant oil. This proved to be espe-
cially true on shipboard, That is to
say, the substitution OF powerded coal
would entail radical changes in the
oil burning installations. and besides
would necessitate greater storage
space for a given measure OF service.

agencies coming under the cog

verted yacht. the L. S. s. Gem. The
