FORD PLANT SELLS
NEW MOTOR FUEL
Benzol Has Higher Combus-
tive Power-Is By-Product
OF Coke.

Five thousand gallons OF ben
Iol, "a ny product of coke used
for motor fuel, is now being
daily extracted aud refined al
the Ford Motor Compnuy's blast
furnace coke ovens near Detroit,
Michigan. This fuel, which ia
more highly cnmbustible than
gnsolIue, is nov being sold at Il
public station ut the above
named plant, aud has proven
highly satisfactory. This price
at present Is about the same as
that of gasoline.
While the Ford Motor Com
pany is not the first to discover
or use this fuel for motor cars
still the public station il The
first ever opened to sell Lenzol
exclusively for motor car con
sumption This filling station
carries supply of 25, 900 gal.
Ions of bcnzol on hand ali the
time. To date some 300, 900 gal
Ions have been sold and used
by ear and truck drivers in De
troit. Particularly during tile
recent strike there was an ex
ceptionnlly large demand for
this product.
Benzol has not yet reached
the highest stage of refinement,
and present results are best
when it is mixed in equal por
tlcns with gasoline. Heat and
cold also affect differently from
gasoline But the Ford chcmi
cal laboratory are doing great
deal OF experimenting and soon
hope 10 be able to refine il So it
can be- used alone aud under an
conditions. OF course, It's chi-f
etitctiveness comes from its
high combuslive power which
as between twelve and tiftrrn
per cent. greater than gasolInr.
Ford officials state there il no
possibility Of benzol ever dis
placing gasoline as motor
fuel, since it is II 10y product of
coke and therefore oblainuble
only IN limited quantities

TRUCK MAKERS HAULED
OWN PRODUCE

darford Company Shipped Trucks Wis
Trucks When lis Chicago Brsneh
Volunteered 10 Help Shippers During
Strike.
When the big rail strike
broke" several weeks ago the
Chicago branch of the Garford
Motor Truck Company, Of
Luna, Ohio, volunteered to help
shippers i'll its area which. be-
cause of the extensive manu-
featuring and wholesale opera
tlnus, was more seriously Affect
ed than any other section of the
middle west.
There were numerous trucks
IN the branch plant, all of which
were placed ut the disposal of
crippled industry.
y telephone call was nut in
to The main plant at Lima for
extra trucks To handle the needs
of panic stricken business men.
Th,rr were no rail facilities
to transport the trucks, 40 Gar.
fords were loaded with Garfords
and hauled to Chicago. The
first convoy lrfs Lima one Sat
urday morning. Each machine
CARRIED another Gurford.
The roads were bad in many
places enroutc, but the truck
pulled up IN front OF the Chica-
go branch OF Gurfords the fol-
lowing Monday morning. They
arrived much more quickly
than they would by rail, even
under normal conditions. The
expense of transportation was
only a fraction more than
freight chnrgea would have
been.
This incident demonstrated
the possibilities for truck trans
portatlon in the vicinity OF
Chicago Freight could br
handled 10y truck with cnsn be-
tween points within Il radius of
100 miles of Chicago. The con
dition OF surrounding roads
would seem TO indicate "A great
advantage IN the handling OF
many commodities, particular
~ peIIshnble products, between
points IN Illinois, Wisconsin
and Indiana.

freshing from the fact that it is almost
entirely free from the fads and follies
which are usually formulated for the
purpose of catching votes"
But Mr. Marshall is too old fash
Toned, says the Syracuse Post-Stand
ara tRep), The Southern states were
strong Tor their preservation of their
rights as self-governing entities once,
but they have found that 1t is cheaper
70 let Uncle Sam do the work and New
York. nay the bills. And the Post
Standard adds:
His sad reminder that his party once
stood for state rights denies him an
audience in the Democratic convention.
II is prime factor in Democracy to-
day not only to surrender power to the
national government, but to call upon
it for funds for state purposes. The
Democratic party i'm those states which
control its policy and action is pre-
pared to let the fersral government
perform all its historical frnc'ions and
is determined that the general govern
ment shall pay the bills"
The Worcester Gazette (Ind)) is even
less sympathetic. THE Marshall pro
gram it says, lis to go back to first
principles-a thing a political party al
ways does when it finds itself without
issue, or (2) off the track. The Mar
shall proposition sounds like a Fourth
of July speech released by mistake
ahead Of time" but what we need is a
man who "can get hold Of the present
tangle we are in and make constructive
Roadway in working it out" Also the
st. Louis GlobeDemocrat (Rep) re-
minds us:
Actual conditions and results are
what a democracy must consider, not
high-sounding phases, used too often
to cloak selfish eds or to nermit a
freedom of action harmful to the great
majority of the people and containing
the potency of destruction of true de-
mocracy, often the direct intent to de-
stroy it,"
Many wonder if Mr.. Marshall is really
seeking only to be a delegate to the
convention, or if perhaps he has his
eye on something higher. His letter
reads more like the platform of a ten
tative' or receptive candidate for the
presidency than that of a candidate for
delegate" remarks the San Antonio
| Express lind. Dem.), or Fan announce
ment that he hopes to be in the run
ming The Buffalo Times (Dem) re-
marks that "the vice president says
nothing from which 1t could be implied
that any presidential nomination idea,
as regards himself, has entered his
mind" And yet, the Times continues:
"Mr Marshall may have felt that it
was not necessary for him, in announC-
ing his candidacy as delegate, to say
anything more than what Immediately
concerned that and his interest in the
party platform. At this time, when
! the nomination potentialities of both
parties are being discussed all over the
country, it is natural that the vice
presidents declaration might be inter.
preted as informally entering his name
in the list Of possible candidates for the
| first place"
The Evansville Courier Oem.) seems
to speak with authority when 1t says
at is not the intention of Gov. Mar
! shall to let his name go before the
convention, but conditions might be
such that "such a course would be de-
sirable."
