LIBERTY FUEL is 0. K.
Tried in Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.
Used in Everything From Trucks and
Tractors to Airp!anes, Say
inventors.

shington.-"Liberty fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
Maj. Oliver 3. Zimmerman and Capt.
E. G. Weisgarber of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart
ment, has proved it's practicability in
extensive tests in automobiles, motor
cycles, motortrucks, tractors, station
airy engines and airplanes.
'The net results" said Major Zim-
norman, Showed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline in the highest types
of gasoline engines, refined to the linn
it of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter, it never
theless develops a greater thermal eff
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced in
varying grades to meet the require
ments of the several types of gasoline
motors. Unlike gasoline, which is
largely all of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airplane
engines or any other type of gas en-
CINE.
''It will be possible in the future for
a person to drive up to a filling sta
ton and secure exactly the grade Of
fuel required for his particular ma
chine. This will result in more salts
factory service from every gasoline
machine in the market and give the
motor owner a maximum of efficiency
for minimum Of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding it's fu-
ture possibilities.
For obvious reasons Major thinner
man and Captain Weisgarber are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" It's base is kerO-
sene and some of the other materials
used are said to be a drug on the
market at present.
Major Zimmerman states that mo-
tors using this fuel start more easily
than with ordinary gasoline, that the
fuel explodes at temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
is greater and it is safe against prema-
ture explosions.

Chicken hawks are a great menace
chickens, pigeons and other small crea-
lures. The great danger of them, in
France, was Of their preventing the
delivery of military messages carried
by pigeons. French children are
taught, in schools, how to catch these
hawks and are paid ten cents each for
every bird and egg of the bird that is
brought in. These hawks resemble an
American eagle and have wing
spread of three feet. The bird lays
two eggs year. This photo shows

BUILDING MATERIAL
COMPARATIVELY LOW

Chicago, ILL.,, April 3.-In spite Of
a repeated presentation of the facts
in the case, misrepresentation still ex-
lists in the minds Of the public with
reference to the comparative costs Of
building materials and many pros
pective builders still persist in wait
ing for prices to drop. So long as
other commodities maintain their
present level, labor win be high and
as a consequence building materials
cannot be cheaper than they are at
present. Some sections report that
by exact figures, it is actually cost
ing their mills more to make lum-
Der than they can obtain for it in the
market.
In recent tables of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the United States
Department of Labor, relative in
creases are listed on basis of 100
per cent for 1918 prices. These are
the uer cents of increase:
