Time to Change Subject
From War to Good Roads
Rv WAIT MASON

We've talked so long of shell
and shot, of captains and of kingsl
The time has come at last, l wet,
to speak Of other things. Let's
turn our thoughts from Petrograd
to places nearer home; we need
good roads and need them bad, and
hence this stirring pome. For years
we've struggled through the muck
WEAKNESS and grief, and only said;
when we were stuck, ut is no time
to beef" We houndered through
the muddy pools, across the reefs
and bars, and lost our horses and
our mules, and mired our costly
cars. We said, until this war shall
cease, our woes can't be DISGUST; but
when arrives the dawn of peace
we'll have good roads or bust"
We've talked so long of battle
fronts that we may find it hard to
turn to other milder stunts; our
spirits may be Jared. We've rallied
so long at Kaiser Bill that we may
think It stale to talk of grading
down a hill or filling up vale
But it is wise to talk good roads
instead Of bones and blood; the
farmers cannot haul their loads be-
cause of endless mud. There is no
bottom to the pike when comes a
sudden shower; | cannot scorch as
/ would like, at so miles an hour.
We've harped so long on treason

we should talk good roads a while

These makes of gasoline are sub.
stantially uniform in character and
properties, subject, OF course, to diff
ferences arising from varying REIN
ing processes used in their produc-
ton. Then, too, It is possible to use
much heavier gasoline in a motor
car engine in the warm summer
weather than in the late fall and
winter months. Refiners. as a rule
take advantage OF this by regulat-
ing the character Of their products
accordingly.
Should Start Easily.
For successful use as fuel for an
internal combustion engine it is es
sential that gasoline should contain
enough of the more volatile grades
to start the engine easily at normal
temperature. After the engine is run
ming the heat of operation renders
carburetion and combustion of the
fuel much less difficult. The heavier
components of such gasoline how
ever, should not have excessively
high evaporation points II this con.
dition obtains, these heavier lends"
as the oil men call them, are vapor-
ICED in the combustion chamber, re-
sulting in impaired operation Of the
engine. When gasoline that is only
partially vaporized is ignited in the
engine it is never entirely burned.
1t is important for the motorist
to know whether the gasoline he
uses is entirely vaporized and burn
ed in his engine or is only partially
burned. When the latter is the
case the heavier constituents are US

il makes a very great difference in
the amount Of fuel consumed by any
motor car if the combustion which
takes place in sthe cylinders is not
complete. 1t means that a large
proportion of the driving energy, or
power, contained in an inferior
grade OF motor fuel, which, by the
way, is usually unbranded, is not
utilized, but goes to waste. Instead
of aiding in operating the car, the

Industrial Alcohol
May Become New Fuel
for Use In Motor Cars

Although this>. country produces
about two-thirds ofthe petroleum OF
the world and produced more gaso-
line last year than ever before, in
vestigations are being carried on by
the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce with a view to ex-
plotting the use of mixtures of al
cohol and gasoline in motor vehi-
Giles. The production Of industrial
alcohol on large scale would help
materially to increase the supply Of
motor fuel
Nearly all the automobiles in Nor
way and Sweden are operating on
alcohol made from waste sulphite
liquor from paper pulp mills. Alco-
hol is also used in automobiles in
Spain, where the sale OF gasoline for
use in passenger cars has been pro-
hibited.
Alcohol can be produced at the
paper pulp mills in this country at
cost Of Is to 20 cents a gallon at the
present time, and if all the paper
mills suitable for the purpose were
equipped with the necessary plants
they would have a combined ca
pacity of 100000 gallons a year.

Considered Uniform.
Many motorists consider gasoline
as a standard, uniform product.
Either they do not know, or they
pay no heed to, the fact that, all
over the country, the motor fuel
of today varies even more widely
in composition and characteristics
than in price.
1t is because of this carelessness
that motorists frequently are in
duced to buy cheap gasoline, UNI
su.pecting that inferior fuel usually
contains compounds of sulphur or
other foreign matter. Such is the
chemical constituency of these ex-
traneous compounds that they break
down under the intense heat and

pounds made UP of hydrogen and

OF course, crude oil differs in
properties and characteristics, as it
is obtained from wells widely scat
tered throughout the world. 1t ma
turally follows that the gasoline pro-
duced from each crude retains the
peculiar properties of its parent
crude. For this reason, many gaso-
lines, as primarily refined, are not
suitable for use as fuel in an inter-
nal combustion engine. In these
cases it is Necessary to mix in gaso-
line produced from other crudes pos
sessing the requisite volatility or
other property which is lacking.
Natural gasolines are those OBJ
tanned by the first step in refining
heating the crude in a large vessel
called a crude oil still. First, the
heat drives off the dissolved gases,
and then the Iightest gasoline. These
are followed by heavier gasolines
a. they vaporize under the increas-
ing heat. Pipes carry the gasoline
into condensers which are kept
cool by water, where they resume
liquid form.
Cracked Gasoline.
Cracked gasolines are rapidly
coming into more common use.
These are produced in a number of
different ways, some of the widely
used methods being the Rittman,
Burton and Hall processes. The
methods of cracking" gasoline are
more or less complicated and may
be summed up as based on the prin-
ciples Of pressure, decomposition by
heat and distillation.

piled so fast that rehners gradually
came to a realization that CONNER
cial production of highly volatile
gasoline on a scale sufficient to meet
the demand was not practicable.
Therefore they set about combin-
ing, or blending, gasoline varying
in gravity and having boiling points
that covered a wide range of tenn
peratures.
Gradually Changed.
Naturally, both carburetors and
engines have been gradually
changed to meet these variations in
fuel conditions. This factor, indeed,
has exerted a very strong influence
on modern engine design, and has
even figured to a considerable bex-
tent among considerations in car
design. Hot air intakes, hot water
jacketed manifolds and carburetprs
and many other methods of pre-
heating and otherwise facilitating
vaporization of fuel have been
prominent features Of automotive
engineering during the last few
years.
Frequently motorists have blamed
the gasoline when the whole trouble
was due to the absence Of the nee
essary equipment for preheating the
fuel before it was fed to their en-
gines.
Thus, most Of the established
brands of gasoline for automobile
use now on the market are blends
of various kinds and grades Of gas
oline. The manufacturers aim to
produce a fuel that (a) has suffi.
cient volatility for starting the en-
CINE; (b) sufficient body to prevent
loss by evaporation to any appre-
ciable extent when in containers;
(c) does not contain injurious for

wells under pressure. These gases
are sometimes passed through heavy
oils which absorb the gasoline.
These are then released by distil-
Iation. "Casing-head" gasolines are
so volatile that they evaporate too
readily for commercial use, Thus
they are almost always blended with
heavier grades for use as motor
fuel.
When motoring FIRST became pop

Alcohol can be blended with gaso-
line to produce a suitable fuel that
will avoid the difficulties of starting

ton is impaired to a marked extent
and friction, loss of power and wear

Covers Wide Range.
Gasoline is not a homogeneous
liquid. It is merely a physical mix
ture of hydrocarbons, frequently
covering a wide range of volatility.
In other words, various parts of the
mixture vaporize at different tenn
peratures under identical conditions.
In this respect gasoline corresponds
to crude oil. from which it is de-
rived. Crude oil. also, is not a chemi-
