NEW CHEMICAL FUEL FOR
AUTOS COSTS lOC 4 GALLON

Nottingham, England, Nov. 5.-A
sensation has been caused in the mo
tor world by the discovery that car
and motorcycles can be driven by
chemical action on water.
Alde ran Albert Ball, Of Noting
han. i.rge estate dealer used the
mixture with remarkable success ro-
Gently, and said afterward that 80
miles could be run on one gallon,which
cost only ten cents. After the chem
cal was introduced it required only Il
pint of water to start the engine.
If the hands We're dipped into the
mixture, added Mr. ball, the water
evaporated and gave off smell like
benzol.
The discovery, which is an Ameri'
can one, if successful, will revolution
ize the motor industry. The mixture
can be made and stored for any length
of time like petrol.
Mr.. Ball was greatly excited at tho
success of the trial and gave sew
eral experimental runs for the bene'
fit of scores of inquirers.

GRAIN ROTTING IN PANHANDLE. /.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 5.-Lack of Ia

cars for shipment, have combined 70

Panhandle portion oG Texas, most de-
rlorable. declared r, S. Minter, direc-
tor Of markets of the state department.
of agriculture, who has Just returned
from a tour of inspection in that sec
tion of the state.
As a result, the bumper crop Of
wheat, milo maize, kaiir, feterita and
other grains, are reported to be rot
ting. He said he saw many piles OF
wheat 1000 to 5000 bushels to the pile
sprouting in the open fields, while in
many cases the wheat has not even
been cut, but is sprouting as II stands
The cotton crop is the best in the
state, but the scarcity of labor makes
it almost impossible to pick It, Some
of the fields running almost bushel
to the acre, are hardly touched by
the pickers. One man with 1900 acres
ten bales, Mr.. Minter said.

MINERS PLAN TO END
STRIKE Is REJECTED

Washington, ID. c., Nov. 5.-The
government cannot accept the pro-
posal Of organized labor to end the
coal strike by vacating the injunc-
ton against the officials of the United
Mine Workers of America. Assist
ant Attorney General Ames. in the
absence of Attorney General Palmer
announced today that the government
could not abandon its position, as the
strike was in violation of law.
Judge Ames issued the following
statement:
THE strike is a violation of law.
As long as it continues, we are going
to oproceed in the courts. The dis.
pute between the mine owners and
workers is an entirely different ques-
ton that they can settle in their own
way. The government cannot toler-
ate continued violation of the law such
as this strike constitutes"
Refusal Of the government to vacate
the injunction means a long fight in
the coal fields, while its withdrawal
would have opened the way for set
tlement of the strike within 4S hours,
according to Edgar Wallace, legisla-
tive representative of the United Mine
Workers Of America.
Labor leaders who had taken hope
full view of the situation, were plainly
disturbed by news that the department
Of justice would let the injunction
stand. In view of the intention Of the
attorney general not to ask for va
cation Of the injunction, labor leaders
| said there was no likelihood of any
} important move before the injunction
case came up for hearing at Indianap-
oils Saturday.
Confidential reports today to the
department of justice said that 80
per cent more men worked in the coal
mines in Colorado yesterday than the
day before. A number of mines were
running full force.
indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 5.-When
informed of the statement of Judge
Ames, Assistant Attorney General
John L. Lewis, acting president of
the United Mine Workers of America
said today that he had no comment
to make.
my statement last night covers the
situation" Mr.. Lewis said.
Lewis last night stated that tn,
miners will be willing to resume ne
potiations with the operators imme
diately IL the restraining order nov
in force against them is vacated. Hi
statement was made after bein,
showed an Associated Press dispatcl
quoting President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of Labor
. as advocating withdrawal Of the re
straining order as a step toward set
! tlement of the strike.

Committee members said the presi-
dent was determined to turn back tn,

there was little likelihood of the en-
actment Of the pending permanen.

QUICK RESPONSE TO ROLL CALL

The public's general and generous
response to humanity's appeal, which
has signalized the opening of the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, has established
in the minds of Red Cross workers the
assurance that the people realize that
Red Cross work is not over, and that
Red Cross work will never be over.
Reports from all parts of the Noun
tain Division indicate q rapid and en-.
thusiastic enrolment of Red Cross
members.
The opening of the Roll Call has
shown general realization that the
Red Cross still has to complete IT'S
war obligations; that the Red Cross
has launched out on public health
campaign Of inestimable value to every
section of the country; that the Red
Cross is preparing for disaster relief
work on scale never before attempt
ed in world history; that the Red
Cross Home Service is being broa 1eEed
where other agencies are lacking with
out losing am Of the tae-,.y with
which it is still aiding service men
and ex-service Dicn and the'; families
that Junior Red Cr,ss activities among
the 100000 school children has
been greatly increased, and that the
Red Cross is ready for any orders
given TO it as official relief society fo'
the army and navy.
