Experimenting for Substitute.

For number of weeks the bureau
has been experimenting with what is
said to be mixture of alcohol and
benzoi. This fuel was tried out as
aviation fuel and is now undergoing
a severe road test in an automobile
A report on the result will not be
obtainable until the present test is
completed. However. it has been in
dicated that it is quite possible the
new fuel will prove practical for
motor vehicles and if so greatly aid
in conserving gasoline.
II is the opinion of several experts
that il alcohol is found practical for
use in automobiles, conservation of
gasoline and therefore crude oils, in
large quantities is assured. Its cost
of production probably would be
cheaper than that of crude oils.
Vegetation furnishes alcohol, which
is subject to distillation.
Alcohol stands a slightly higher
compression than gasoline. and it is
said it's use would not necessitate a
change in the present automobile en-
CINE designs. 1t could be mixed
with gasoline and possibly kerosene.

per cent. The war has also cut deeply
into our supplies. Since commercial
and industrial life must depend for its
future upon it's petroleum resources
large visible supply for future use
is imperative.
The war has pointed out to a num-
Der of other countries the value of
petroleum resources The United
States then held an enviable position
because of it's supply, but it is fore
casted that it will topple from its
high place as the biggest producer
of crudes in the world unless some
thing is done to find new sources of
supply and to so conserve the supply
already at hand
Certain government officials have
laid great stress on the necessity of
immediate action to conserve the
available and probable supplies of
crude oils. which will last only about
twenty years, and thus keep going
without interruption beyond that
period the wheels of industry and
commerce which owe their motion to
crude oil and its products.
While no official announcements
have been made Of action toward
meeting the problem, it is known
that for months the bureau Of stand
ards has made and is now making
experiments on a number of fuels.
Experiments in the main have ap-
piled to aviation fuels. but 100 or
more American gasolines have been
tried out. many of which were for
automobile use.

Rates of Exchange
in German Money
Far From Stable

Trevcs, Juae 9.-Rates of exchange
in German money TRANSACTIONS noted
in the mails under American censor
ship show that the exchange early in
May was far from stable. One re-
port gave the rate in Berlin at 241
marks for 100 francs, while another
transaction mentioned in a business
letter showed that a Cologne bank
paid 229A marks. The branch of the
Reichsbank in Coblenz has been pay
ing only 200. officials of the bank
saying that each bank sets it's own
rate. being governed entirely by other
transactions which the bank may
have with it's correspondents in for
efgn countries.
Beginning May 1. the United States
disbursing office at the army head
quarters in Coblenz began paying 222
marks for 100 francs. an increase of
twenty-five marks over the exchange
rate which had been in effect several
months.
Letters to the United States con-
tinue to indicate a desire to re-
establish business relations. One
firm in the American occupied zone,
writing to a watch manufacturing
company in the United States, says
that Germany will soon be in the
market for a great many watches for
shipment by parcel post.

Electric Railway
Association Welcomes
New Federal Board

Washington, June 9.-The Amer
lcan Electric Railway Association
to-cay made public at it's national
headquarters here a statement
strongly indorsing the action of
President Wilson in creating by
cablegram from Paris a few DAYS
ago the new Federal Commission
which is to investigate the problem :
or the street railway industry, and
the relation of the public, the users
or the street railways, to the indus
try.
The election by the new commits
sion of Charles E. Elmquist, a State
public service commission expert, is
welcomed by the national railway
association, and the street car pa
irons of the United States are prom
ised, through the commission, every
assistance possible by the national
railway association in the investiga-
tions that are to be made.
The statement is, in part, as fol-
lows:
"At time when fifty or more of
the large urban electric railway sys-
TENS were in the hands of receivers,
the creation of this board came as
welcome surprise. If its work, as
outlined in the letter addressed to
the president by Secretaries Redfield
and Wilson is any criterion of it's
performance, this commission is de-
stined to be constructive agency of
the greatest Importance, not only
to the public, but to the electric rail-
way industry, to collateral industries
to the nations financial institutions
and to labor. In fact, 4 was the
reflex effect upon industry, finance
and labor of the bankrupt transpor-
tation companies that played a lead
ing part in the minds of Secretary
Redfield and Secretary Wilson, the
members of the Presidents Cabinet
who recommended the establishment
of this Federal Commission"
