Something Must Be Found Within
the Next Twenty Years to
SuppIant Gasoline.
SUPPLY NEARLY EXHAUSTED
Germany Has Demonstrated POSSIBLE.
ity Of Driving Motor Vehicles With
senxoIe-New carburetor Must
Be Devised.

At the present rate of consumption
the motor car demand for gasoline can
hardly be supplied for another 20
years.
When we think Of power we are apt
to think of steam engines and of coal
shoveled by grimy stokers into fiery
furnaces. Few realize that our gaso-
line engines, those that are used on
the farm and on the water as well as
on the road, generate more than twice
the power of all our steam plants. Our
pleasure cars alone drive us through
the country at n staggering total ex-
penditure of S5,OOO,OOO horse power.
If all the gasoline engines in the coun-
try were to run every day for only
ten hours a day, our gasoline supply
would be exhausted in a month.
Germany Uses BenzoIe.
1t is abundantly evident that within
the next decade a new fuel must be
found for the motor car. Germany
has demonstrated the possibility of
driving motor vehicles with benzole,
n by-prOduct obtained in the manufac-
ture Of coke. But since benzole is no
produced in sufficiently large quaint
ties and since, moreover, 1t is required
in the manufacture of explosives, dyes
and chemicals, it is not likely to take
the place Of gasoline.
Kerosene must drive the motor car
of tomorrow. Unfortunately, it does
not vapOrize so readily as gasoline.
Nor can 1t be efficiently utilized for
road locOmOtion in engines that now
consume gasoline. New feeding de-
vices must be invented a new, simple
type of carburetor must be devised;
a new kind of engine must be created.
All this motor car manufacturers have
%fOreseen. For many months their 70
search engineers have been ut work.
When the price of gasoline reaches
60 cents or more a gallon the kerosene
motor car will appear.
Crude OIL DwindIing.
Since the crude oil supply of the
world is steadily dwindling, the inven-
ton of a satisfactory kerosene engine
must inevitably prove but a makeshift
which will tide us over for a decade or
two. What then? Either the alcohol
engine or the electric storage battery
be intenslvely developed for me-
chanical propulsion.

Kane, Pa.-The war has resulted In

The parents of young Adams, who

The word, 1t Is said, came from Italy
through a Red Cross nurse, who dis
covered the identity OF the lost boy

discovered that he wasn't an Italian,
though he fought in the Italian army.
Further investigation revealed that he
was an American and that he had left
home when a small boy. He remem-

Automobile Cutting Ice.

Simply attach the cutting machine to
the automobile. and let the car pull
the cutter. across the ice.
Lest the car skid on the slippery
ice, the two back tires should be re-
moved and iron rims with spikes on
them substituted. As an extra precau-
ton, put chains On your front wheels.
One nan runs the automobile and
the other guides the machine. If your
friend is good natured, let him trot be-
hind with the cutter handle in his
hand. If he Is not, do it yourself and
let him run the car.
