~ 80 MOT in laws interference is re-
sponsible, Fred Elliot told Judge John
H. Kirkham in police. court this
morning, for the disagreements be-
tween himself and his wife. Elliot
was charged with non-support, and in
order to allow the family difficulties
to adjust them selves, if adjustment is
possible, Judge Kirkham continued
! the case until two weeks from tomor-
row.
The couple have been married over
| a year and have one child by this
| marriage. BY previous marriage,
/ Mrs. Elliot has one child, and Elliot
&! has five. His children arc in custody
| of his former wife from whom he was
/ divorced some time ago. Since her
4 marriage, he has not given a cent
toward her support, the wife said, but
| later admitted that he sent the money
to her mother to be given her and had
also paid the rent for their home at
115 North street. She also said that
he had brought her to her mother S
house to save expense as he could eat
for nothing in his mother-in law S
! restaurant.
Elliot was represented by Attorne ely
Albert A. Greenberg and denied all
] her charges, stating that since the
+ birth of their child, he has spent
| over 500 on his wife in addition to
supporting her. She refuses to live
with him, he claims, because her
mother has persuaded her to stay at
home and wait on tables in the res
taurant. According to his story, he
, has gone to the house twice and
Is 'phoned twice to have her come home,
but she refuses. He works in a local
I factory and earns 60 cents an hour.

Ger tie command Of Maj. 0. b. Zlm-
norman, who, with his long experience
in internal-cclnbustio motors, not on
/ ly encouraged him in the face OF op-
position, but aided him materially by
practical suggestions from the motor
end
The possibility of some such ac-
complishmeat has been pointed out by
Bacon and Hamor under the heading
or 'Peroxided Kerosene" but it re-
mained for the Engineering Division
of the Army, in the person of Captain
/ Weisgerber, to make the matter a
reality. The great difference between
/ this process and others is that this IS
! a chemical method while the others
now employed are mechanical and the
possibilities of a greatly increased
supply of motor fuel at greatly de-
1 creased price make the name Liberty
particularly appropriate.
! cover seven years ago Captain
Weisgerber started work on the pro-
blem of finding gasoline substitute,
and his experience took him to various
parts of the globe. He had practi-
| callv perfected the fuel before enter
! ing the Army, the additional research
and tests giving it the finishing touch
I es. The result is Liberty fuel, which,
according to reports of the Division
of Research Development, has the fol-
! lowing characteristics:
''The fuel is practically scentless
and tasteless and the products of COM
bustion are cooler than with gasoline,
which reduces the amount of lubri-
cant necessary as well as the problems
of cooling. 1t is also non-corrosive
and has a less deleterious effect on
motors than gasoline.
"It starts more easily than gasoline
and will explode at temperature be-
law zero, this point being readily
controlled in manufacture. 1t leaves
no residue The effect of the explo-
sion is 80 per cent, greater than gas
oline, but this, as well as the quality
and specific gravity, can be controll-
1 ed at will. 1t will not explode pre-
maturely and only ignates from sparks
/ or flame.
''It has been shown to give greater
mileage in airplanes, automobiles,
motorcycles, motor trucks, and trac-
tors. It requires less air for combus-
ton, can be made at much less cost
than gasoline, and uses as a base a
product (kerosin) which can readily
be obtained in any desired quantity.
1t can be substituted for gasoline for
any purpose. 1t needs no special ap-
paratus and 10 special engine or car
| buretor.
"During the tests at the Naval Air
Station at Anacostia, Liberty fuel was
found much superior to the gasoline,
and with the motor running 1,600 re-
volution per minute the water n the
radiator never exceeded 160 degrees,
f., and the oil in the crank-case did
not 90 above 130 degrees. This quail
i ty of maintaining low temperature
may help to solve some of the radia-
ton problems of aviation engineers.
"Those interested in the chemical
details relating to the temperatur of
distillation can obtain them from the
report of the Bureau of Standards,
these tests having been made under
! the supervision of DR.. Dickinson, who

unlike the stories that we have

The threatened strike among the
workmen in the great steel plants OF
the country was called Monday of last
week and in the neighborhood of 2oo.-
600 men are now idle at the behest
of the union heads. Already there has
been considerable rioting, with the
natural consequences of death and in
jury to a number of people. A great
industry is now running short handed
with a reduced output, and naturally
all lines of business will meet with
more or less loss. The greatest suffer-
ers. however, are the workmen them
selves. 1t is stated that the wages In
the steel works run from $3.50 to $50
per day. Put at low figure the aver
age of the wage lost each day would
be $500 to each man out. If 100000
men are idle, and the union heads
claim a larger number, that means a
loss to labor alone of 100000 day.
In the meantime the cities in which
the plants are located are in fearful
turmoil, life and property is unsafe
and business of every description Is
out of joint. About three or four per
cent of the population, which repre-
sents the strength Of the unions, a
meagre minority Of the population, is
domineering over the overwhelming
majority and putting the country in
hell of a shape. If the heads of the
unions continue to insist upon the ex-
actions that are being made, the inno-
cent bystander. representing the vast
majority, and who is the chief sufferer
from these strikes, is going to turn
and unionism will receive serious
setback

out of business entirely because of the
demand for excessive wage, and sew
