NEW MOTOR FUEL

In April, when the switchmen's
strike interrupted transportation
and threatened Detroit with a gas
oline famine, 285,000 gallons of
benZol, motor fuel substitute for
gasoline were produced at Henry
Ford's River Rouge plant. The
supply was sold to motor car own
ers through several oil compan-
les and many drivers did not know
that their cars were burning a new
fuel. Benzol is a by-product of
coke. With forecasts being made
that petroleum deposits in the
United States will be exhausted
within the next few years, it is
pleasing to know that there are
substitutes that can take the place
OF gasoline if the emergency
arises. The Detroit manufacturer
was one of the first to sound the
warning that gasoline supplies
were eXhaustible and that some
thing must be found to take it's
place. With his customary initia-
tive he seems to have set to work
in earnest to solve the problem
