ALCOHOL HAILED
NEW POWER KING
Uses o fSpirit to Increase, De-
spite Prohibition, Chemists
Declare.

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-King Alcohol
was hailed as new monarch OF the
realm of power in q symposium held
Friday at Rumford. Hall, by the New
York section of the. American Chem
ical Society. The five well-known
chemists who. addressed the section
told of more new sources of alcohol
which could be tapped and indicated
many new uses for it.
L. +. Tunison said that proba bly
ten times as much alcohol as was
before prohibition days
would eventually be utilized BY the
American peoples albeit. they have de-
cided to dispense with. il as a bev-
erage. In a normal year the Cnited
states drank 10000. .090 gallons of al
cohol and used approxima 100.-
100000 gallons in the various arts.
Among the sources which could be
developed is the nipa palm which -four
ishes in. the Philippines AID other
tropical countries and yields, said Mr..
Tunison, about 15 per cent of sugar
which could be fermented.- From that
source alone 50,000,000 gallons a yezr
could easily be produced. The Mexi-
cans brew fiery, beer from the sotol
plant, a variety of agave which exists
in very large quantities in their coun-
try from which millions of gallons
could be distilled. BY changing the
cellulose of sawdust and other wood
waste into sugar and then fermenting
that substance. plenty more alcohol
can also be obtained. It is identical
with that derived from grain. and is
quite different from the methyl or So
pai1ad xfood q lcOboI f,f 81 - 1rsE "a.

other process. Considerable alcohol
can also be derived from the waste

Tree censuses in every State at the
same time the 1920 population count
is made was advocated here today by
officials of the American Forestry AS
sociation.

here, the census of trees to determine
the extent of American forests both
in the country and in towns and
cities may be begun as soon as State
srbor days have passed in order that
all new trees planted this fall may be
included in the count.
"Block-by y-block" listing. including
the size and variety of the tree. may

Must BE Treated.

In order to bring all these alcohols
within the domain of the law, how
ever. they have to be denatured or
treated in such way as to make
them unfit for human consumptiop.
There are now about forty denaturing
formulas which are approved by the
Internal Revenue Bureau. When al
eohol is used simple of ITSELF as
honest John Falstaf used to say of
sack. the Government puts on a tax
of S4.15 a gallon even IL employed
for Industrial purposes.
These undrinkable alcohols are used
excessively as solvents in the various
chemical industries and especially in
the development of the rapidly grow
ing dye industry. They can serve
well in the manufacture of resins as a
solvent and by their use a perfectly
transparent product can be manufac-
tured.

Cheap Fuel.


Mr.. Tunison propheNed that as
the petroleum supply decreases and
the price of gasoline is. therefore,
raised. alcohol will come into greater
use as a motor fuel. Denatured ethyl
alcohol. identical in composition with
that distilled from grains, is now
cheap in carload lots and there are
compounds of IL which are sold even
now for only few cents more a gai-
Ion retail than the price OF gasoline.
Mr.. Tunison said that these new al
cchol fuels yield more power to the
gallon than does gasoline and do
not clog carburetors. There is also
Z demand for the so-called soiidified
alcohol, which is made by adding
paraffine and such substances TO
spirits. nVo-s

LOCAL POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
OPENED THIS WEEK


Claiborne county politics hns be-
come active again, after remaining
dormant for four years. Candidates
for three important Offices are an
nounced in today's Reveille, and this
is the beginning Of the contest which
is generally pretty lively.
Every office in the county from
sheriff to constable, is to be filed
this year, and the crop Of candidate
will no doubt be sufficiently large to-
At least supply man for each Office.
However, local politics does not
create the interest it did years ago.
Then, interest centered on ore Office,
and the lines bet cen the to 8as-
tons ere closely drawn, and usually
much bitterness resulted But no
our campaigns are pitched on high
el plane, and the various contestants
make the race on friendly terms.

That NO matter where you roam,
There is nothing half SO precious

There are things we hold more prec-

Thus the bold seafnring pirate
Risked bis life for loot at pelf;
But the army man win tell you

There is nothing half so precious
As q letter straight from home.
Though the wealth of all the Indies
Were my legacy tonight.
And had in my possession
Gllttering gold and jewels bright,

Just life'e frivolous froth and foam,
And I'd trade them all most gladly
For letter straight from home. .
