WORLDS FUEL SUPPLY
Time VIII Come When it Will be
Mainly Alcohol.

Mainly Alcohol.
mo sooner has King Alcohol gone
out of the back door as beverage
than he enters the front door in tri-
umph as fuel. ....
THAT, at least seems reasonable
Interpretation of recent expert utter
ances on the subject, including the
pronouncement of a number Of world
famous chemists who attended a
scientific congress recently in New
York City," says a bulletin from the
Washington headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
Why Mother Necessity is giving birth
to this new brain-child of, invention is
related in communication to The So
ciety by DR.. Alexander Graham Bell, as
follows:
There is one obstacle to further ad-
vance in mechanical development, in
the increasing price Of the fuel neces-
sary to work machinery. Coal and o..
are going up and are strictly limited in
quantity. We can take coal out Of a
mine, but we can never put it back.
We can draw oil from subterranean
reservoirs, but we can never refill them
again. We are spendthrifts in the
matter of fuel and are using our
capital for our running expenses.
IN relation to coal and oil, the
worlds annual consumption has be-
come so enormous that we are actually
within measurable distance Of the end
of the supply. What shall we do when
we have not more coal or OIL
Apart from water power (Which Is
strictly llmited) and tidal and wave
power, (Which we have not yet leaTned
to- sutilize), and the employment of the
suns rays directly as source of
power, we have little left, excepting
wood, and it takes at least twenty five
years to grow a crop Of trees.
There is, however, one other source
of fuel supply which may perhaps
solve this problem Of the future
Alcohol makes beautiful, clean, and
efficient fuel. and, where not intended
for consumption by human beings, can
be manufactured very cheaply in an
indigestible Or even poisonous form,
Wood alcohol, for example, can be
employed as a fuel, and we can make
alcohol from sawdust, waste product
Of our mills.
alcohol can also be manufactured
from corn stalks, and in fact from al
most any vegetable matter capable of
fermentation. Our growing crops and
even weeds can be used. The waste
products of our farms are available for
this purpose and even the garbage
from our cities. We need not fear the
exhaustion of our present fuel supplies
so long as we can produce an annual
crop of alcohol to any extent desired.
"The world will probably depend
upon alcohol more and more as time
goes on, and a great field of usefulness
is opening up for the engineer who will
modify our machinery to enable alco-
hol to be used as the source of power"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-11-04

while they are not so fully laden with
the SECOND crop they are making a
pretty fair showing. To Views and
Interviews a second crop of grapes is
something unusual. 1t is more or less
common to have people bring in
second crop apples, peaches, cherries
and the like, sn common in fact that
only an occasional mention is made of
the circumstances. But two crops of
grapes is something unusual, and as
Mr.. Biggers remarks, if the frost
which is now well past due had
showed upon time, so far as his vines
are concerned, there would be no ripe
specimens of the second crop to bring.
Strike Outs Look ominous.
Writing to relatives in York county
a York county young man who is in
the military service and holds an Of
ficers' commission says: II am at
Gary, Indiana, doing duty with my
troops in the strike zone. The jails are
full of men and we are getting ready to
build bull pen to put the rest of them
in l don't know how this thing is
going to turn out; but do know that
it is a pretty serious situation. So FAR
as l am personally concerned / am in
every bit as much danger here as
was at any time during the late war
with Germany, although that is CIV
ing me no concern. 1t is hard to figure
what is coming next; but from the way
things look now I don't think there is
much chance of my getting a furlough
home Christmas. There is shortage
of officers in the army at present and
[ am worked to death, haYing COM
mand of two companies whereas ordi-
narily l would have only one
Jimmie Worked His Head.
"You know little Jim Demas, son Of
John Demas, the well known candy
man of Yorkville," said local minis
ter the other night. Il heard story
about him the other day that made me
laugh. when Jimmie first started to
school the grade was crowded and 1t
was necessary to divide it into two
sections. One section was to go
to school at and be dismissed at IL
and the other go at IL and be dis
missed a: 3 o'clock. Little Jim was in
the class that was TO go in at 9 and
come home at IL. His father knew
of the other pupils in the same
grade; but he didn't understand the
whereby it was divided
into sections. When the little fellow
started coming back at II, and the
father noticed that the other pupils
didn't get home until o'clock, he got
the idea that the boy was playing
hockey. Little Jim tried to explain
but he couldn't and so he got a
whipping. In order to keep from
getting more whippings it was neces-
sary for him to do something, so for
a time he adopted the policy of wait
ing out of his fathers sight until 3
o'clock when he would come home
with the rest of them"

Time Not Lost.-For the students in
