success. The results began showing
months before it was decided to re-

LIBERTY FUEL IS 0. K.
Tried In Extensive Tests and
Proves Success.
Used In Everything From Trucks and
Tractors to AIrpIanes, Say
Inventors.

Washington.-"Liber fuel" the
substitute for gasoline developed by
Mai. Oliver b. Zimmerman and Capt.
Il. G. Wpisgarber of the gas and oil
production division of the war depart-
ment, has proved its practicability in
extensive tests in automobiles, motor
cycles, motortrncks, tractors, station
AIRY engines and airplanes.
"The net results" said Major Tim-
norman, "ShOwed that although
checked against every commercial
grade of gasoline in the highest types
of gasoline engines. refined to the linn
1t of engineering knowledge and with
no change in the carbureter, it never
theless develops greater thermal eff
ficiency than the best gasoline"
The new fuel can be produced in
varying grades to meet the require
motors, Unlike gasoline, which Is
largely ull of one grade, the new fuel
can be manufactured specially for
motorcycles, trucks, tractors, airpane
engines or any other type of gas en-
CINE.
sit will be possible in the future for
q person to drive up to n filing 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 I'm the market and give the
motor owner Il maximum of efficiency
for a minimum of outlay"
Other government experts who have
witnessed tests of the new fuel are
highly enthusiastic regarding its fu-
ture possibilities.
For obvious reasons Major thinner
man ana Captain WciSgHrhrr are not
disposed to make public the formula
for Liberty fuel" Its base is krro.
Sene and some of the other materials
used are said to he 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 ut temperatures even
below zero, the mileage per gallon
is greater and ii is safe against prema-
ture explosions.

LIFE AGAIN BECOMES
MORE VALUED Thing
Change of Attitude Is Now Quite
Apparent-FIyerS Take No
Risks.

One of the consequences of the ces-
sation OF hostlities, which did not at
once manifest itself, is now becoming
apparent. 1t IS the appreciation of the
value OF human life. The change of
attitude, which necessarily is gradual
already has become quite marked.
Less than Il month ago thousands of
men We're being killed every day and
hundreds of thousands were exposing
themselves TO death. Danger and
death were then the comnOncSt things
in the world. The public had become
hardened by repetition to horrors and
suffering.
Men who ran the great risk, al"
though they never were conscious OF
their probable fate, could steel them
selves to their task because they re-
membered what hosts of others had
done, But 50 quickly does nature re-
assert itself when given the chance
that there is perceptible reaction to.
ward the normal. The Wholesale
slaughter has stopped, the incentive
to expose ones self Is gone, and life
has become dearer and more valued
thing.
A man who just conducted a party
of tourists to the old battletiGlds told
a writer that he had passed several
big aviation fields, and there was not
single plane in the air. Almost no
flying Is being done there now.
Another sign of the returning sense
of proportion is the fact that Il rail-
road wreck in which 6S We're killed,
got two-lne head in the papers.

hawks and are paid ten cents each for
