been satisfactory. Naturally, when a
new fuel is used In a petrol motor
without proper adjustments being
made for it, smooth running cannot
be expected. But when intelligence Is
employed in substituting alcohol for
petrol in motors there are few grounds
for complaint.
Tests in South Africa.
nj. Masfaraud, in his address to the
French Chemical association. drew at
tention to the experiments carried out
In South Africa during the war and
subsequently with alcohol-ether admix-
ture fuels. Great success appears to
have been met with In using mix
ture called natalite, which Is COM
posed of about 81 per cent of alcohol.
45 per cent Of ether and little am
monia.
M. Lindet, prominent French in
dustrial chemist, has suggested the
use of a motor fuel composed of an
admixture of alcohol and acetylene.
Many authorities look upon the sug-
question favorably and in the near fu-
ture 1t Is proposed to test such mix
lures on an extensive scale.
Among other mixtures tried In
France those composed of alcohol,
ether. benzol and pyridine. alcohol
toluene and xylene and alcohol, benZol
and petrol have given satisfactory re-
suits.
1t seems probable, from a survey Of
the present state Of the motor fuel
problem in France, that 1t Is only a
question of time when alcohol pro-
duced from French agricultural prod
ucts will be substituted for imported
gasoline. This substitution will not
be made directly, ,lbut by degrees. Mix
lures of alcohol, petrol and other sub
stances will be used and later, when
the price of alcohol can be greatly re-
duced, 1t will replace the petrol mix
lures.
The problem which at present con-
fronts French chemists Is how to pro-
duce a national fuel cheaply, and they
realize, as one has cleverly remarked,
that they must study the matter not
only with present conditions In view,
but with an eve to the future. or, as

Man and Wife Joint
Pastors of Church

Bostop.-For perhaps the first time
in the history of New England, bus-
band and wife are joint pastors Of the
same church. Rev. Harold L. Pickett
and Rev. Anita Trueman Pickett, just
called to the pulpit of the Peabody
Unitarian church, will take up their
duties on basis of absolute equality.
Mrs. Pickett is the extraordinary
one of the couple. Before she took up
the study for the ministry she was a
successful lecturer, and was held In
high respect by such men as Elbert
Hubbard. Ralph Waldo Trine, DR..
Charles Wesley Emerson of the school
of oratory by that name, and by such
women as Ella Wheeler Wilcox and
Margaret Sangster.
She was persuaded to enter the Uni
tartan ministry and In 1908 went to
the Meadville Theological school In
Pittsburgh, where she met the man
who is now her husband. On their
wedding day, she says, both filed pull
pits, the husband preaching In the
morning and she in the afternoon.
Mrs. Pickett has three children, and
devoted herself to their rearing, not
being ordained until two years ago.
She shares the pulpit with her hus-
band, but runs the home herself.

Probable Extinction Of Certain
Mammals Is Cause Of Worry
to NaturaIiStS.

Washington -Naturalists all over
the United States are worrying over
the probable extinction OF certain
Of our mammals due to the decree
Of fashion that women wear furs
all four seasons Of the year. Museums
are Fastening to obtain specimens for
their collections before II Is too late.
Newspapers say that we are enrich
ing the interior of Africa by wearing
monkey fur on our garments. Soon
some of the animals which exist In
abundance today will be In the class
with the dodo and the aux.
"It is only by educating the Ameri-
can public to the need for periods Of
protection for these animals that We
will be able to preserve one Of the
,country's most valuable assets for the
enjoyment and profit of future gener-
ations," says a bulletin Of the Nation
al Geographic society from its Wash
ington I'd. c., headquarters.
Seals Gone From Pacific Island.
"An expedition to the island Of
Oil thS NOdoh Va A<O"CA
California, which the National Geo
graphic society recently helped finance
for the purpose Of finding II any speci-
mems of the fur seals which once lived
there In great colonies still were to be
found, proved conclusively that no
traces of these animals have appeared
on the island for many years. They
have been exterminated by unscrupu-
lous fishemen. Unless the public comes
to appreciate the danger menacing
many of our other fur-bearers through
out the country, their life story may
soon be that of the seal.
"It has been estimated that America
spends yearly $1O0,OO0,OOO for fur gar
ments, the trade of fur merchants In
raw and manufactured furs for import
and export trade In New York alone
being about S375,0O0,OOO.

Alcohol Found
Good Motor Fuel

lens It Is proposed to establish ma
tional alcohol Office to control mo-
nopoly of alcohol in France and to
control the monopoly of manufacture
of the "carburant national" In order
that the alcohol fuel might be sold
below the price of gasoline the excess
cost would be Offset by taxes on wines,
elders and other alcoholic beverages.
The French experiments instigated
series of similar tests in England.
The Empire Motor Fuels committee
had tests made with pure alcohol over
the complete available range of mix
ture strength, with open throttle at
piston speeds ranging from 800 to 1000
per minute, and at compression ratios
between 3.S to / and to 1. The re-
suits were very favorable to the use Of
pure alcohol.
The Germans have not neglected ex-
perimenting with alcohol as motor
fuel. There Is an annual production
Of about 1OO,0OO,O00 gallons Of alcohol
from potatoes in Germany, and some
of this has long been used either In
a pure state or mixed with petrol as
an automobile fuel. 1t is found that
ton of potatoes, carrying about 16
per cent of starch, which promotes the
fermentation. will yield 20 gallons Of
alcohol. AS potato crops can be
cheaply grown, they may In the fu-
ture become important factors In the
worlds fuel supply.
Relief Offered by Corn.
In countries like the United States,
which are favored with large corn
growing areas, maize might be used
instead Of potatoes. 1t is easy to raise,
transport and store, and presents no
difficulties In Its conversion into al
cohOl.
Wood waste has been made to yield
large quantities Of alcohol. There are
possibilities of using sawdust and the
timber felled In clearing agricultural
lands. as well as used lumber, for Oil
fuel. But practical difficulties will
prevent the use of wood as a source
of alcohol in all but few favored
localities. Distilleries using wood
as a source of alcohol could rarely
compete with those using farm prod
ucts. Farmers have 1t In their power
TO produce large number of crops
suited to the manufacture of alcohol
The farmers Of the United States
alone could raise enough maize, pota-
toes, beets, and other crops to en-
able the worlds motorists to sub
stitute pure alcohol for petrol In all
oil motors.
The Cubans make motor alcohol
from the lowest grades Of molasses
and from bagasse or spent cane fiber.
Industrial alcohol has been made from
these substances at a cost as low as
FIVE cents per gallon.
Throughout Central and South Amer
lea alcohol has been used as fuel.

with the threatened existence Of their
kind. The high prices which have
been offered for their pelts have led
to intensive trapping. to the clearing
Of woodland and to the draining of
marshes. In many parts Of our coun-
try beavers and martens have been ex-
terminated, and even Alaska Is be-
ginning to worry about the growing
scarcity of fur-bearing animals within
her boundaries
"Some Of the states OF the Union
have realized the danger into which
they have fallen and are establishing
close periods for some Of the most
valuable Of the fur-bearers. Until a
few years ago the farmer who had
marshland infested with muskrats on
his farm voiced violent prejudice
against the little animals, and set out
to exterminate them; now that same
farmer knows that these muskrats can
become as valuable as any of the live
stock on his place. He protects them
during the mating season, and takes
only a reasonable number of pelts for
market during the dead of winter
when the fur Is good.
"The great demand for furs has led
to the rapid increase Of fur-farming
throughout this country and Canada.
Recent reports say that there are nj.
ready about 800 fox farms in Canada
alone and that the owners of them are
growing wealthy on their profits. The
small fur-bearers are very prolific and
there are millions of acres Of land In
this country where they would multi
ply In great numbers II they were
given the proper encouragement, and
II intelligence were exercised In taking
the pelts.
Fur Farming Problems.
"The United States Biological sur
vey has been making an intensive
study of the best methods of raising
wild animals In captivity, and reports
that foxes have been raised with great
success. Silver foxes. blue foxes,
skunks and muskrats can be raised
successfully, and further 'nvestiga-
tions are being made into the rossi-
bility of raising minks, martens and
fishers, which up to the present time
do not breed in captivity or else pro-
duce inferior animals.
Various methods have been sug-
gested for bringing the fur supply
within the neighborhood of the de-
mand. Large tracts in various parts
Of the country could be set inside as
permanent preserves. 1t has also been
suggested that the national forests
Of Colorado alone might be adminis-
tered as game preserves, the national
forests of Colorado alone being cap
able of producing 100000 worth Of
fur each year by the conservation of
the wild animals which already live
within their confines"

vocated by Col. William +. Greeley.

ture in which he says that from the
standpoint of the national forest ad-
ministration and development, no
happier step could be taken than ad-
mittance of that part of the territory
to the full rights of an American
Commonwealth.
ut seems to be generally accepted
that the territory as whole IS not
ready for statehood" says Col.
Greeley "but unquestionably that
part lying east of the 1J2nd meri-
dian and south of the Artic Circle
has the economic wealth and the
stable. law abiding population which
according to our historic policies and
precedentS have always been recoG-
niZed by Congress as emitting con-
tinental territory and people to self
government in the Union. 1t is be-
coming evident that the solution Of
the Alaska problem is local self
government. Apparently what the
people of Alaska want is not the
power to run the Governments bus
mess or property in Alaska but power
TO run their own business. They want
to make their own laws. levy their
own taxes, and spend their own pub
lie money just as do the people in
the states. In short, what Alaska
wants is NOT that the Union should
he ousted from the territory but that
Alaska should be admitted to the
Union."ss
The encouragement and assistance
given by the Department of Aericul-
ture, through the Forest Service and
Bureau of Public Roads in building
up an export lumber trade. the basic
work going forward for the estab-
lishment of the pulp and paper in
dustry, and the large expenditures
which are being made on forest
roads, together with Il dcceutralized
local administration, Col. Greeley
says, are contributing largely to the
growth and prosperity of the terri
tory.
The roads being constructed in the
national forests of Alaska in cooper
alton with the Bureau of Public
Roads are proving a great factor in
improving business and living con-
dltionS in southeastern Alaska.
