M0LASSES IN CUBA

I'm out of gas, Let me have
five gallons of molasses this time"
If the owner of a car were to
make this remark at an American
service station there would be a
hasty phone call for the police
patrol.
In Cuba the same request would
merely provoke a smile and secure
for the driver five gallons of the
automobile fuel said to be used in
the majority of Havana cars, de-
clares Cortez Quickel, of the
Quickel Auto and Supply company.
A nationally known American
business man who recently return
cd from Cuba, says that the pass
ing of the eighteenth amendment
automatically destroyed Cuba's
market for millions of gallons of
molasses. This molasses was for
merly refined in the United States
and distributed to the brewing
companies. When the brewers
ceased to brew molasses became
drug on the cuban market tenn
porarily.
Now. large percentage is being
converted into denatured alcohol
and forms the base of new auto
mobile fuel used by practically all
of the cheaper and many of the
more expensive cars in Cuba. This
fuel sells for 30 cents a gallon,
against so cents gallon for gas
