which. after exhaustive tests of the subject, is convinced that alcohol as motor fuel has great possibilities and that the by-products of the sugar in- dustry and many other substances yielding sugar. starch or cellulose will be utilized in this fashion.
 According to the British commit tee apointed to investigate the merits of power alcohol the fundamental attraction of alcohol lies in the fact that it's chief sources are found in the vegetable world. In consequence the raw materials for the manufacture of power alcohol are being continuously renewed and are susceptible of great expansion without -ncroachment on the food supply.
 Rather interesting experiments were made with alcohol derived from the flowers of the mahua trees grow
 rg in the East Indies. It is said that the sundried flowers of this tree contain something like SO per cent of fermentable sugar and that they can be collected and delivered to the fac tory in the zone of growth at S1.o0 per ton One ton of these leaves produce 90 gallon of alcohol
 "Our late antagonists, the Germans, long before the war had developed a. system of industrial alcohol manufac- ture under which every farmer could produce his' own motor fuel. The cir cumstance that our own oil resources are so abundant may delay similar development in the United states. There is no doubt. however, that all cohol for motor fuel purposes looms more important and more promising than ever."

TRUCK CONTEST IS.
 SET FOR JUNE 16 Reliability Run ut of Omaha to Come When Roads
 Are Good

Charles P. Root. general manager of the first national motor truck reiia- bil.ty contest. has just announced that
 the start of the greatest contest ever known in the motor truck field will be
 June 14. In reaching this decision Mr. Root took into consideration the prob | able condition of the roads in May. due to excessive precipita tion.
 Entries will close Saturday, May %, at midnight and cars will have to be in the hands of the promoters at Omaha not later than Saturday, June ,. MT. Root points to the fact that the roads in June will be in their
 best condition and that the weather
 will be settled. The days will then be longest. Another matter that was considered was the republican national convention, opening June s. That event vii, crowd the newspapers with polfti- cal news during a time when the white paper situation is serious. The truck contest would naturally be slighted in anews way and much of it's value would be lost to the industry.
 From the date of. the announced closing of the entries. May g, com petitors will have two weeks in which to place their competing cars in Omaha for examination by the tech nical committee. which will then have just week to make the examination. The drivers and the mechanics will have week also in which to place he trucks in prime shape Drivers and observers will be required to be on hand June 10. to attend meet ng of the officials drivers and observ- CTS. The trucks will be placed in an official garage after their examir a.

MOLASSES MAY BE
 B|G AID IN AUTO
 FUEL PROBLEM
Alcohol Made From Canned Sweetness Might Be
 Good Substitute

Thirsty souls and economists who have been wondering what will be- come of all the molasses which for merly went into the manufacture of rum, remarks a writer in the current number of American Motorist, will be interested to learn that automobiles, trucks and tractors may be operated not with rum, nor even with molasseS, but with alcohol made from the iat- ter. Continuing. the writer sets forth:
 American Motorist not long ago called attention to the possibilities offered by the use os alcohol as fuel for internal combustion engines. A few years ago the United States geo.. logical survey. through it's technolosi-l cal branch. made a series of elaborate tests of the relative value of gaso- line and alcohol as power producers. The most important results of the in- vestigations are contained in the evil dence that well-deslgned internal mbustion motors using alcoho. or gasoline will consum, about an equal volume of fuel per unit of power. The averages of the minimum consumption vaiues give a like figure of eight tenths of pint per hour per break horsepower from gasoline well as for alcohol. In this comparison it is of decided interest thar the thermal value of alcohol is only -tenths that of gasoline-a fact which ex plains the persistence of the experi- mentors better than anything else.
 Heretofore the obstacles in the way of a universal adoption of alcohol as motor fuel lay in the difficulty of finding a raw material that could be secured sufficiently cheap to rem de~ the making of alcohol Cor fuel uses profitable.
 And now come prohibition, mo- lasses and alcohol in quantities prac- tioallv as unlimited as the former sup plies of that delectable dainty of the grog shop Bum.
 'Tn Britain. where gasoline is much more expensive, than it is here, the question of finding a substitute fuel has received recently renewed atten- tion. A committee nas been apoirted
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-05-09

tion by the technical committee at Omaha. and from that time on it will not be possible for them to be toucned. Makers have been requested to have at least one driver or the ground bY June to deliver the trucks to the committee
 With the announcement of the defin- ite starting date entries for the con- test are now being made in consid- erng mum bers and advices to the con- mittee stating that entries will be made have caused considerable in crease in the estimate of the probable total entry list. The interest which has been taken all along the route is intense

Every railroad strike stands less chance of being successful" says H. F. Harris, president and general manager of the Bethlehem Motors Corporation, AL lentown Pa Multiplication of the motor truck equipment throughout the United States is doing so much today
 to save the public from inconvenience caused by the strike that chances of suc-
 cess for the strikers is nullified to a
 large extent. In years to come there
 will be so many trucks in operation
 throughout the country, and the hard
