before gasoline reaches 81 Il gallon a
substitute Will be found for it.
And alcohol is the substitute
suggested If this is to be regarded
merely as another evidence Of the
grim humor for which the Standard
Oil is noted, it is understandable But
until there is some suggestion to the
product out Of which the alcohol is
to be manufactured In quantities of
billions Of gallons and a reasonable
certainty that the Standard will not
monopolizc the patents and processes
for its manufacture, the suggestion
to the motorist that he can use alcohol
instead Of gasoline as a motor fuel
Will not bring much comfort"
