SCARCE; ALSO AUS
POISONOUS EXHAUST

Research conducted t the labora-
tories Of the General Motors Com
pany at Moraine City. Ohio, has
demonstrated that by the use of
selenium ox%ychloride or di-ethyl
telluride the efficiency OF a given
amount Of gasoline could be doubled.
The tellurium compound was the
most efficient and especially advan-
tageous in eliminating the knock
which is developed when the motor
is laboring on a grade. says a writer
in the Engineering and Mining
Journal-Press Of New York. One
object of the research has been 20
improve the efficiency of the CONVEX
sion Of the freshly generated gas
power into mechanical motion and to
correct the lack of %lexibility and
elasticity Of the explosive gases.
characteristics favorably associated
with the use Of steam. The gas en-
CINE develops its power with ex-
plosive s~uddenness. whereas the
steam engine has its power under
complete control so that 1t can be
applied continuously or expansively
as may be preferred. II is that
quality which experimenters have
been anxious "a impart to gas.
Di-ethyl telluride. a highly volatile
compound, when added in the min
utest quantities 10 gasoline for auto
mobiles, serves 10 increase the run
ming efficiency of the engine 100 per-
cent. No explanation Is offered re-
garding the precise influence of the
compound on the gasoline. but it is
believed that the action Is catalytic.
II seems TO retard the intensity (
the explosion in the cyclinder so that
the full force of 1t is felt after the
piston has moved on its downward
stroke.
However, there is one serious OBJ
lection to III use of this volatile
telluride that will have TO be over
come before it a be put TO COM
mercial use. and that is the poisonous
character OF the exhaust gases of the
engine using the telluride. Those
who have experimental with selen-
ium and tellurium compounds will
recall the foul doors of some COM
pounds of these metals. Another OBJ
lection is the small amount Of tellur-
ium and selenium produced in the
world. It has been estimated by
Victor Lenher hat II only one one
hundredth of 1 per cen should be
used in gasoline the amount Of tel
required for the gasoline used
present in the United States would
be 1900 tons. Although the capacity
of the United States at the present
time TO produce tellurium is about
60 IONS per annum this mount could
be readily increased provided a de-
mand for the product is insured:
Tellurium and selenium have gen.
orally been unimportant byproducts
OF e%lectrolytic copper refining for
a use has been urgently want
ing. Further experimentation may
overcome the objection Of the n~oxious
gases.

Have Washington people forgotten

This question Is put up to resi-
dents Of the city by Mrs. s. Artz,
1920 n street northwest, the latest
contributor to the fund for Mrs. Sam
uel Frye, widow OF the murdered
Seat Pleasant grocer.
Just think what a help 1t would
be to that poor widow to have 5000
people give 81 EACH" Mrs. Artz
writes. in sending in her IS. There
are many who could and would give
more. Let us rally round and show
her that the Christian people Of
Washington have not forgotten the
commandment of our Savior to love
our neighbor as ourselves.
"A committee should be appointed
to buy her a small comfortable home,
establish her and her children in it.,
and have a balance left to maintain
them"
Mrs. Artz declares that the plight
of Mrs. Frye has created a feeling
Of sincere sympathy in the heart Of
every woman in this city, particular
ly those who are mothers Of small
children"
"They know" she SAYS. How they
would suffer II placed in her position
and feel very keenly her sorrow. The
death Of her husband is sorrow
enough to bear. but added to that Is
her anxiety for her fatherless chill
dren, and the fact that she has no
money to provide for them"
