MOTOR ALCOHOL IN
 HAWAIIAN ISLANDS

Motorists in the Hawaiian Islands are not worrying these days about any actual or impending shortage of gas oline, according to Frank E. Carroll, Manager of the California District for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company of California, who has just returned from the Islands, after a months business trip.
 "A substitute for gasoline is now being produced there," he says, (which within the next three months will reach a production sufficient to take care of all the cars on all of the Is- lands, if a gasoline shortage should develop.
 "The new fuel is known as motor alcohol and is the inventionof J. P. Foster,a chemist on one of the big sugar plantations on the Island of Maui. It is now being used in many cars and the results obtained are said to be in many ways superior to those achieved with gasoline. More power greater mileage, easier starting and freedom from carbon are among the benefits it is said to produce. It call also be used without any readjustment of carburetor.
 "The motor alcohol that has been made so far has been produced from molasses, of which there are 135,00C tons available, enough to produce g. 100000 gallons of motor alcohol. The molasses is a by-product of the sugar industry of the Island and contains, in addition to fermentable material, oth- CT products of value, such as potash nitrogen and phosphoric acid. The value of these after recovery from the fermentation, is greater than the value of the original molasses, so that in calculating costs of the fermenta- tion process for alcohol production, the raw material charge is practically nothing.
 "The importance of developing this industry is very considerable, as it will provide cheap and readily avail able motor fuel, releasing both petro- leum fuel and shipping space. The motor alcohol made according to the new formula is performing perfectly in marine, stationary, automobile truck and tractor gasoline engines In a 36 hour test made with 75 horse power tractor the motor alcohol consumption was four gallons pel hour as compared with four and one half gallons of gasoline on similar work. With the motor alcohol the speed was higher and the power great CT. The cylinders were afterwarc opened and examined and the old car, bon deposit was found to be entirely removed. The carbon remaining was

so soft that it could be picked off with the fingers.
 Plantations which have been let ting their molasses run to waste or burning it for the potash recovery are now finding the manufacture of motor alcohol a profitable undertaking.
 Business conditions in the Islands were never better than they are right at the present time. This is due largly to the high bonuses paid to the workers and the stock dividends paid by the various sugar and pineapple concerns.
 "In the past years the value of the sugar crop has rarely exceeded seven ty million dollars. This year, how ever, it is thought the crops value will run about two hundred forty mil lion dollars.
 "A great many automobiles are be- ing purchased by the Orientals. One automobile dealer in Honolulu sent out six salesmen with six secondhand cars on Decoration Day which was pay day for the workers, and sold five of them
 "The demand for automobiles ls much greater than the supply and practically no new cars are available And the tire situation is similar-the demand cannot be satisfied. Good year business on the Islands has in creased greatly in the last few years but we have never been able to give the dealers all the tires they could coll

HOW THE HOPI
 PLANTS CORN

The system of farming adopted by the Hopi Indians in northern Navajo County, Arizona, is thus described by c. R. Fillerup, County Agent of that county, who recently took trip with s. P. Clark, Extension Agronomist and R. N. Davis, Extension Dairyman of the University, into that very inter- esting part of the state. The trip was made late in May. MT. Fillerup tells his story as follows:
 "A trip was made into the Hopi Indian Reservation for the purpose of studying Indian methods of agri- culture and stock raising. The triI was very timely as the Indians are now planting their corn, squash beans, Hopi lima beans, etc. Approx imately a million and a half pounds of corn are grown by the Indians. Al most all of this is used on the Reser, vation. The Hopi is the Indian Far mer,' he has corn to eat and to sell and a quantity in store for a lear year. He buys no corn.
 "As for livestock there are 15 head of sheep per capita for the Hop while the Navajo has 25O. The Nav. ajo grows but little corn, in the fall shortly after harvest he sells all he cannot carry in his rowing life as he follows his flocks to the best winter ranges. The surplus corn of the Hop then comes in good stead. There are about 5000 Indians on the Reserva, tion and they have approximately 15,0OO head of cattle and twice as many horses. They also have many goats that graze in common with the sheep.
 "It was amusing to see Professors Clark and Davis plant corn Hopi style in an unplowed Indian field with g sharpened stick to loosen the soil With the stick the Hopi makes small pit or hole into which r to 22 grains of corn are placed to the. hill.
 "The Indian plants where flooc waters will naturally irrigate his fields and the new coat of silt annu. ally deposited serves the double pur. pose of fertilizer and blowing. His task then is to plant, hoe out the weeds and harvest the corn.
 Planting in moist soil is a neces. sary element of success, hence the Hopi is sometimes obliged to dig holes foot or more deep in the bot tom of which he plants his corn GOV ering it about four inches. In many cases the shifting sands serve as { mulch to conserve moisture. One may we'll wonder if the Indian is not taking advantage of natural conditions fol crop production to greater exten than the white man."

INTENSIVE TAX
 DRIVE DURING THE NEXT TWO MONTHS

The following statement is issued by Collector of Internal Revenue, AL fred Franklin.
 "In this, as in every other section of the country, there will be conduct ed during the next two months an in tensive tax drive for the collection of delinquent sales and other miscellan- eous taxes, such as the so-called lux ary tax, the soft drink tax, the admis- sion tax, the manufacturers tax, the tax on jewelry and works of art, and the tax on toilet articles and proprie- tary medicines. Reports of laxity on the part of dealers and other persons responsible for the return and collec- ion of these taxes have reached the Bureau of Internal Revenue from many sources.
 "To remedy this condition, Commis- eioner William M. Williams has as bigned to the work of investigation h75 special revenue officers. These men will compose flying squadrons which will visit every large city in the United States, cooperating with as- distant supervisors and field deputies. The total force numbers 2,000.
 "The drive will be under the inn mediate supervision of Collectors of Internal Revenue and is expected to result in the collection of millions of Dollars in delinquent taxes and penal ties.
 Information from the Sales Tax Unit of the Bureau of Internal Rev enue is that many dealers in soft lrinks and ice cream either are keep ng no record of the amount of tax collections from such sales, or that he record is insufficient or incor- ect.
 Special attention will be directed Q the collection of this tax as we'll IS to the tax on toilet articles and proprietary medicines. Through the allure, of retailers to collect in full he tax of per cent for each 25 cents pr fraction thereof ofthe amount for which toilet articles and proprietary medicines are sold, it is estimated the government is losing several millions lollars annually. The tax is collected py means of stamps ranging from 1 Q 40 cents, which the law provides hall be affixed by the dealer and can Felled.
 "It is the intention to conduct as thorough and effective campaign as possible in such a way as to bring to ustice willful violators, and cause no embarrassment to merchants and bus. ness men who honestly are endeavor- ng to comply with the revenue laws Discovery of evidence to show wilfu Fax evasion will be followed by prose. utions. In fragrant cases, the Bur au will urge the imposition of ex reme penalties. For wilful refusa o collect and pay the tax the penalty a fine of not more than $10,OOO, ol me years imprisonment, or both, to- yether with an added assessment eaua 10 the amount of tax evaded. Fol allure to make return, the penalty i.
 fine of not more than $1,OOO.
 Persons desiring to file amended eturns of tax collections for whicl hey are responsible should do so be fore government investigation, il which case the policy of the Burea, will be one of leniency. There i. reat difference between the self-dis overed tax delinquent, and the la, vader discovered by the Bureau.
