POSSIBILITIES OF
ALCOHOL AS Morok FUEL.

Experimentslly the suitability ID
alcohol as a substitute for gasoline
for motor cars has been demon
strated. but there remains to be
found an economical method where
by alcohol can be produced a. a
price that permits its use as a mo-
tor fuel. Various kinds Of vege-
table matter can be utilised in the
manufacture of alcohol. but unless
the process is operated in conjunc1
tion with other industries the sub
stitution Of this fuel for gasoline
is not feasible. An editorial writ
er in Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal-Press states that. TO make the
venture a success. one OF two
courses must be adopted-the slco-
hol factory must be able TO produce
cheaply q salable by-product. or
the alcohol itself must be manufac-
tured as a oyrproduct OF another
industry"
Several Instances OF the success
full manufacture OF commercial fuel
alcohol are mentioned. In Brazil
a large sugar mill 10 producing q
spirit from discarded cane. and IN
another district alcohol is pro-
duced as Q by-product from a wood !
distillation plant operated by one
Of the large mining companies. In
South Africa considerable success
has been attained by the use OF
combination Of alcohol and ac~ty-
( lene. Jerusalem artichokes also
offer possibilities, for IL is said that
the discarded stems can be used
to make a suitable pulp for papet-
manufacture. In India the cost of
/ gasoline has become so high that
factory has been established for
the production OF alcohol from the
flowers OF the mahwa trees, and
this industry has already reached
the Significant output of 10000 gall
Ions daily.
