A case Of sufficient strength to carry

SOUTH AFRICA USES
A VEGETABLE FUEL
Shortage of Gasolene Develops
New Alcohol and Ether Com
pound for Motor Cars.

CAPE Town, Oct, LIN addition to
natalie. which is manufactured In Natal
from the refuse of the sugar cane mills
and used extensively in propelling
motor cars in South Africa. there has
recently been produced another motor
fuel to meet the shortage and high cost
of gasolene In this country. The basis
OF this new fuel. which Is called
"acetol." is alcohol and ether. which
comprises 90 per cent. The other In
gradients are treated as secret until
the patentee receives his patent rights
1t Is said that this fuel apparently
solves the question of the mir cooled
engine. No carbon sediment is FORM "a
in the cylinder. and the fuel Is claimed
to be non-injurious to the carburetor
and engine. No special carburetor Is
required. Acetol mixes with gasolene.
The inventor claims that IT has a wioer
explosive range than the Ordinary
marketed gasolene. !. G., both weaker
and an overrich charge In the cylinder

fuel are said to have produced very

Often the deal has been reported as con-

FRUIT CROP GOOD
IN NEW ZEALAND
Planting Of Lemon Trees Dis
couraged by Experience of
Last Winter.

AUCKLAND. Oct. 1.-According to late
Information the prospects for New
Zealands coming fruit season are good.
and this is especially true Of stone fruits.
some of which have advanced far
enough to make IL quite clear that the
crop Is exceptionally promising. AS yet
It is too early to give any very definite
estimate In regard to the apple and pear
crops further than to state that every
thing is favorable for bumper crop
for these fruits.
The cold winter has seriously affected
some citrus fruits. especially lemons,
and oranges IN some cases. Lemon trees
have been planted of late more numer-
ousiy than heretofore. but this winter
has given this industry quite a setback.
A good strawberry crop is expected
this season. 1t is stated that double
the number of plants were placed last
autumn. and that their appearance is
very favorable at present. few ber-
ries are already ripened In some locali-
ties about Auckland. and the crop should
be coming in freely by the middle OF
October.
