since 1912, associated with William
M. Richardson, a Philadelphia grain

four-fifths of the 10000 shares OF

declare that this scattering will prove
oenencial and result in more

country.
To Transfer Industries.
powerful financial groups are at the
head OF the movement to transfer i'm
portant industries from the coal re-
glon to southwestern France, where
water power soon will be available.
other groups are being formed to de-
veiop manufacturing centers near the
coast so as to reduce the cost of
transporting raw materials. Indus
trial leaders say that this activity on
the part of capital, supported by the
recovery Of labor from what has been
characterized as a wave of .laziness,"
gives a healthy tone to the situa-
ton.
Instability of the exchange value of
the frame is regarded as one of the
weakest points in French conditions.
lt IS pointed out that France cannot
pay twice over at present high prices
Tor supplies she needs, and that is
what the present low value of the
franc means. The French government
IS now studying a complete renovation
The financial policy with a view to
EHking such provisions TO meet Obli-

tons, Though Fall of Franc Is Still
Serious Problem-Study
Financial Policy.

Paris.-France began the new year
with far greater confidence than the
last This is in spite Of formidable
handicaps, such as the balance Of
trade running against her at the rate
of about 1,50O0O0,000 francs month,
about so per cent depreciation of the
exchange value of the franc and the
consequent difficulty of procuring raw
materials and machines urgently
needed for reconstruction.
Frances renewed confidence is de-
rived directly from the result of the
recent elections. These are regarded
here as having definitely stabilized N
ternal politics, ended all danger of
revolutionary agitation for some time
to come and brought about a better at
titude by capital and labSr toward the
Immense effort before France.
Money is forthcoming for invest
ments in anything that promises stabil-
ity. While the investments in short
term treasury bonds are continuing at
the rate of nearly 2,O0O,000,OO0 francs
a month, there is plenty of money for
Industrial and commercial enterprises
and long-term loans. The 4y00O,OO0,OO0
franc loan to provide immediate
resources for indemnifying victims Of
the invasion was oversubscribed before
the official opening of the subscrip-
tons. Important banks and indus
trial companies have lately increased
their capital to an aggregate Of nearly
5OO,OOO,OO0O francs.
Big Trade on Bourse.
Transactions on the Paris bourse,
which still are confined to cash deals,
have exceeded on certain days records
of pre-war trading, when futures en-
tered largely into the totals. The up
ward movement of all industrials
the treaty at Versailles, has been, I'M
checked by successive liquidations.
This is regarded by keen observers
here as a sure sign of economic re-
covery.
Employers say the labor situation is
improved and that the last strikes de-
veloped signs that the workers them
selves were becoming weary Of long
continued disturbances Of business, in
iustry and transportation. They see
q tendency against frivolous strikes
and an indication that only real griev-
ances will induce the wage earners to
quit work hereafter.
Decentralization Of capital and in
ulustry is seen in the establishing in
Normandy of textile industries to re-
place those in the occupied territory
destroyed by the war. This movement
has been greatly extended by develop
ment of water power in the region OF
the Alps and the center and south OF

MANY OFFSPRINGS ARE KNOWN
Difference Between Grain and Wood
Alcohol Clearly Described-Fatal-
tiles Due to Amateur Attempts
to Make Grain Alcohol.

Chicago.-While there are seventeen
or more alcoholic products known IN
chemistry, there are two of general
commercial use in the country-ethyi
alcohol, or ordinary alcohol, the kind
we used to be able to buy "for medici-
nal purposes" and methylated spirit
or industrial alcohol. which is popular
" called wood alcohol" and which
does contain an amount Of that fluid.
Ethyl or ordinary alcohol is formed
By the spirituous or alcoholic fermen-
tation Of saccharine juices. The fer
mentation must be completed before 1t
is distilled. It is made from grain.
either corn, wheat, or barley. This Is

Meet Ethyl and
Methyl Alcohol

also known as grain alcohol. The
formula is c. H. OH.
Methylated spirit, or industrial alco-
hol. is made of ninety parts of ordl-
nary alcohol and ten parts of wood
alcohol-methyl alcohol.
Source of Wood Alcohol.
Wood alcohol is obtained by the dry
Gistillation of wood. The common
method of obtaining this is to take
cordwood which has been seasoned for
about two years-beech, maple, and
birch are best-place it in iron or steel
retorts over a slow fire. The intensity
Of the fire is gradually increased as the
distillation progresses, until at the end
Of from twelve to eighteen hours moth
ing remains In the retort but charcoal.
The distillate is passed through a
condenser, and the liquid thus gath
cred is allowed to set in tanks until
the greater part of the tarry matter
iE 1t has subsidized. The lighter part Is
then drawn off and saturated with
slaked lime to fix the acetic acid. It
is then distilled a second time and the
distillate sent to the refineries as wood
alcohol. Sawdust or any woody fiber
or cellulose can be used in place of
cordwood.
Wood alcohol, either in'its pure form
or as an ingredient of Industrial alco-
hol, is a poison, and has selective
action upon the optic nerve, in which
it often induces condition Of perma-
nent atrophy which results in total
blindness.
Denatured Alcohol.
For some purposes completely de-
natured alcohol" is made by adding to
Industrial alcohol little benzine or
pyridine to spoil the taste and render
It offensive. Denatured alcohol may
be made more cheaply than ordinary
alcohol by using cheaper materials,
such as any starchy vegetable sub
stance, or a waste byproduct, as the
poorest grade of molasses OF the waste
OF canning factory.
1T is probable that good deal OF
the wood alcohol that Is being distrib.
uted as a beverage is the result Of the
attempts Of amateurs to make ordinary
alcohol. In their ignorance they use
vegetable substances such as potato
Feelings, and, by using too intense 8
fire and making the distillation with
out having first allowed fermentation
to take place, produce methyl or woot

to the old Chicago White Stockings.
He was one Of the stars Of that IA
nous outfit until 1901 when he man
aged Comiskey's club in the American
league and won his only pennant with
it.
When the Yankees entered tha
league in 1908 Griffith was their first
manager. He was IN New York until
the middle of the season of 1908, when
he and Frank Farrell, then owner CT
the club, had a disagreement. The
next year Griffith managed the Cincin-
natl Reds, and he was Garry Herr
mans manager until he was made
manager of the Nationals in 1912.
