PROSPECTS SLIM
 FUR EFFECTIVE .GAS SUBSTITUTE

According to reports growing out of the convention of the National Chem lstry industries. recently held in New York. there seems little likelihood of a satisfactory substitute for gasoline making It's appearance for sometime to come.
 As little Notwithstanding. the state ment can be made that not anywhere near as much effort Is being made to develop a cheap motor fuel as the dear public has been lead to believe.
 However. one very distinguished sci- enlist has made the statement that the American people cannot afford Co let the government fall down on any re- search work that might tend to ease up the tremendous demands made on the gasoline supply by the S,0OO,000 automobiles fin the country.
 Some of the outstanding features of the gasoline substitute" matter as 1t stands today are the following.
 One substitute has been used satis factorily. but the restrictions on it's manufacture and the consequent scarcity of the fluid make 1t imprac- tical for use at present.
 Those compositions using water as the base have not proven effective.
 Shaie oil is furnishing a composition which is hoped will be practical and obtainable in sufficient quantity.
 Various mixtures of benzol and hy. dro-carbons constitute the one req substitute to date. Recent tests show 12.5 per cent less fuel Consumption when benzol is used. and the horse. power is known to be increased by it, use. The flashing point of benzol ii also lower than gasoline, which givei Ait a peter kick.
 Many sensational stories of nev motor fuels have appeared from tim to time. These included secret compo sitions that were destined to eliminat gasoline altogether" Many of then were made from water with a littl mixture of high powered stuff. all O

 The prospect is dim for a first rate gasoline substitute as the matter now stands. The main thing for the Amer ican people to consider is the amount that is being wasted.
