FUTURE AUTO MOTIVE POWER
:tereGting Speculation as to What Will Take the Place of Fast
 Diminishing Gasoline.

Gasoline will continue tO % up Ih price. A few years from now we shah have to use something else aS fuel for our automobiles. The queS- ton is, what?
 The government bureau of mines thinks that we shall get the requisite substitute from coal. In every city there will be "by-prOluct coke oyenS' which will extract from the coal 2 light oil available for the purpose. The coke can then be used in oIr furnaces and for other ordinary fuel purposes
 One ton of soft coal in the process of cuking yields about three gallons of oil first rate for motor fuel. AT present prices the heat in the oil has 20 times the commercial value ot tlP same amount of heat in tine form or coal.
 Germany during part'of the war was practically shut off from every SHNpy of mineral oil. She dependcdifor her motor fuel entirely on cOal. puttint me latter through by-prOduct ""!1hG plants. Before long we sNaII ne obliged 10 do the same thing, in the United States.
