ENDORSES COMPOSITE
 FUEL; BREAK MONOPOLY
Alcohol and Gasoline Mixed in Equal Quantities Put On Market As
 National Enel.'

Paris, July 31.-Alcohol and gas- oline, mixed in equal quantities, will be put on the market as the French national fuel' in October.
 Long tests and multitude of scientific sessions finally evolved this mixture as better than straight gas oline and great forward step in freeing France from foreign petrol cum domination" a phrase often used in parliament,
 France produces much alcohol used largely in poor country homes for their limited cooking, and in industry. This production, it Is held, can be increased many fold, so the country need no longer be dependent upon the heavy importations of petroleum that became a serious problem during the war and is blamed now for helping to keep down the franc.
 Scientific commissions have decided half alcohol and half gasoline will not injure an automobile motor, will not increase the consumption. and will give greater fleXibility with some in- crease in power. The cost of the new fuel is matter of controversy. It is contended by it's friends that competi- ton will settle the question of price satisfactorily.
 Many other combinations of alcohol, gasoline kerosene and crude oil have been tried. test made by a govern ment car recently gave good results with 70 per cent alcohol and 30 per cent kerosene.
 Gasoline, however, will remain the fuel for army airplanes for the pres ent. The government hopes eventual Iy to find suitable fuel for it's big air force, but the aviation service prefers to watch the work of the new fuel on dry land before running any new risk of stalled motors in the clouds.

 COMPANY PRESENTATION
William Rtcciardi and Poli Players Score in "Papa Joe" Now Playing
 at the Palace Iheater, Hartford
(Ry Herald nevIewerl.


 Presenting an interesting and en- tertaining play William Ricciardi ap- 1 peared in support of the Poli Players 1 at the Palace theater in Hartford last evening in Papa Joe" from his own pen. This comedy drama in three acts contains an abundant amount of comedy set off with just enough pathos to prevent the play from be- coming tiresome. MT. Ricciardi re- ceives excellent support from the Poll players.
 MT. Ricciardi as the iovial sympa- thetic but yet serious Italian husband of Mary, his wife (Frances Williams) moved many in the theater to tears in the last act when he learned he had been deceived by his son, a lawyer, with conditions the same as in case the son was defending. Always teach ing truth, sincerity and honesty the father disowns the son because he has brought shame upon girl, servant in the house, and refuses to marry her. reconciliation is brought about however, by Mike O'Reilly a business partner who brings the young ones to- gether and the son agrees to marry the girl.
 Arthur Griffin as Mike O'Reilly in- jected plenty of Irish humor into the play and was exceedingly good in his drunken bit in the first act when he makes his first call of the day at the home of Joe Malatesta, played by Mir. Ricciardi. Frank McHugh, the son, again pleased his many favorites and deserves mention for his very good work in a heavy part.
 Miss Frances Williams could not have done better in her characteriza- tion of the role of the mother and wife who had devoted her life in edu- eating her children and endeavoring to teach her husband; laborer and contractor to become acquainted with the modern methods. and ways of liv- ing. The continual flare ups which arise because of the many misunder- standings between man and wife give cause for much merriment and these flare up at the table, upon the arrival of company and over the servants are constantly occurring throughout the play.
 Miss Ruth Thomas as Lucy, the daughter, was an attractive miss and added much to the success of the per formance as did William F. Blake as the supposed Count Philippe DAT mand, woer of Lucy because the mother wants the daughter to marry a count, but who in reality is not a count but 8 Brooklynite.
 Jay Ray as Pietro, the cook, proved that he could speak Italian and with his many amusing sayings and talks between MT. Ricciardi and himself | proved entertaining.

I Poor Jack is almost beside him. votion than his to Leslie, particular ly as she does not seem to mind whether he is with her or not, and it is breaking his heart.
 My dear child, you must not be too 'slangy" among those English folks. I do not blame that young Englishman for thinking you are a Hopper" as he called it. You know that you do not act that way at home, Of course, I can see with your exuberant spirits what temp tation it would be to shock the staid minds of the English people you meet, but l hope you will not be too hoydenish, for remember. that you have a duty to your country to per form. You must not allow the Eng fish men and women to think that our American girls are one whit be- hind their own in refinement and breeding.
 The other day Leslie had little flicker of interest. It was when told her that Karl was sailing this week. She said she wished I would get those pearl beads that you gave her when she was married and send them over to you by Karl. She re- marked she would probably not wear them for a long time and that they would be so beautiful on you. l was delighted that she had this interest in something, and greatly disappoint- ed when, the next day. she seemed to have forgotten all about her re- quest.
 However, when Karl comes 1 am going 10 suggest that he take the beads to you. But you must be very careful of them, my dear, for Jack says he has never known Leslie to be so fond of anything as she is of those beads. l looked at them this morning. and they are perfectly beautiful - the finest limitations have ever known. So nearly perfect are they that when l laid them be- side my necklace of real pearls l could not see any difference.
 l wish you would try 10 get an- other string like them over there. | would like to give some to Beatrice Grimshaw for q wedding present.
 Karl will be here tomorrow and he probably will bring you some sur prising news. I am not going to put if in this letter.
 It is not improbable if Leslie IS well enough that I may bring her over in time to come home wit you this fall. l am nearly mad with anxiety over her condition. for Alice. i you know. I would much rather see her dead than 10 lose her mind.
 There, l had not intended 10 voice ! my fears about her even to you. but having done so, I will let the letter go.
 Be good girl, Alice, and re- member your mother loves and trusts you.
 Will keep you posted by cable fl there Is turn for the worse in Les lies condition. Lovingly.

 Where was Cuffy Bear? He had plunged into the lake with his father and mother and his little sister Silkie. And now he was nowhere to be seen.
 After one nasty glance all around, Mir. Bear lunged towards the shore.
 There must be quicksand here," he reared.
 Mrs. Bear didn't follow him. Nor did Sill1ie. If Cuffy was mired in the quicksands, they hoped to seize him and pull him out before he sank deeper and deeper.
 From the shore MT. Bear told them what to do. He directed them to look this way and that. Don't be afraid" MT. Bear called to them. If I weren't so heavy, I'd come and search too. But a person of my weight has to be- ware of quicksands. Besides. l can help just as much here on the shore. It's better ta have one of us where he can see everything that goes on."
 Why don't you swim back and forth, and in circles, Ephraim 2" Mrs, Fear asked her husband. Perhaps you would see Cuffy."
 "No." said Mir. Bear firmly. But I'll tell you what l will do. I'll creep out on this log here and look for him.

COVER CITY WITH SOOT London Has Many Coal Fires That Prove Very Troublesome

London, Aug. S.--London's atmos- phere is said by experts to be the smokiest and most polluted in the world, At 10 o'clock one day recently 70 tons of soot were floating about the capital. Twenty tons is an average amount for any day in June.
 The smoke and soot are due largely to the fact that most homes, offices, factories and hotels In the capital are heated by the oldfashioned coal fire, which gives off excessive smoke. The Englishman loves his open hearth too much to bother with steam heat or gas and electric appliances.

FRUIT PRESERVES
BY SISTER MARY

FRUIT PRESFlRVES
 In the good old days the farmers wife considered it necessary to serve at least two kinds of jam or preserves at every meal. High sugar prices have taught her that these Spreads" are valued more if used in moderation and that her family is better off with out too much sweet.
 The woman in town who must buy her fruit as well as sugar has always considered preserves and jellies more or less of luxury and uses them sparingly.
 Be that as it may every woman, whether she preserves in a kitchen cite or spacious but hot farm

Letter From Mrs. Joseph Graves Hamilton to Alice Hamilton.

Hamilton to Alice Hamilton. My Dear Daughter:
 I am sending this letter by Karl to you and he will be able to answer all the questions about Leslie that you will ask.
 Leslie, my dear, has not written you because she had not been able to write to any one.
 Five weeks ago she had a bad au- tomobile accident and since then she has not been herself in mind or body. l have been with her all the time and your father has been here almost every week. She seems to be getting better physically, but her mind is not normal. She just lies in bed, the most patient and sweetest girl you have ever known, but she takes no interest in anything or in any body. She does exactly as we tell her, but nothing on her own initia- tive.
 On account of the accident she lost her baby, and this is what is prey ing on her mind.
