NEW MOTOR FUEL SOURCES
ARE CITED BY COLLEGE NAN
Prof Chrysler OF Rutgers Says Alcohol, Sa,cdus and
Solar Energy Are Possible Components OF
the Future PropeIling Force.

Alcohol. sawdust and solar energy
are suggested as possible sources of
motor fuel by Prof. NJ. A. Chrys-
Ter OF Rutgers College in a recent con-
tribution to a symposium OF the New
York Botanical Garden. Botanists. he
says, may solve the fuel problem,
since the oil supplies of the world
are being used at an alarming rate.
The nations corn crop, he points
out. IL turned into alcohol, would pro-
duce as much power as the gasoline
now consumed every year. This, how
ever, he concludes. would be too
severe a drain upon our foodstuffs,

|Siluer Jubilee Emphasizes
Aduance In Motor Industry
Far Cry From Horseless Carriage on
Track Is Years a go to De Luxe
Models on Display for 1925.

An overaIled mechanic tugged at
the crank beneath the seat. The en-
CINE coughed and broke into series
of chugs, blue smoke poured forth,
and then a gallant old "horseless car
riage" lunged forward and around
the track that was one OF the main
features of the first national auto
mobile show, held in Madison Square
Garden, New York City. 25 years ago.
In those days most Of the public
belonged to the Skeptics' Society. so
far as automobiles were concerned.
and the exhibitors had to have a
track to prove that the queer-looking
contraptions would really run.
One exhibitor even went so far as
TO build a wooden incline to show
that his car would climb grade.
This year. when the silver jubilee
show opens in the American metropo-
lis on January 3, the public Will
come. not as skeptics, but as motor
enthusiasts, TO learn what the latest
styles In motor cars Will be.
Values Promised Best.
1t is pertinent perhaps at this time
to consider the offerings that the
automobile industry will make for
the year TO come. 1t is believed that
the dollar-for-dollar value of the
1925 car will be greater than any OF
Fits predecessors and that it will be
in a class by itself in the essentials
that go to make the nearly perfect
unit Of transportation
The outstanding feature of the cars
that carry their makers 1895 name
plates is the great length to which
designers have gone to increase the
comfort of riders, to make both the
| cars and the occupants safer, and &c
promote the convenience of the
| owner. Although it cannot by any
means be said that engineering ad-
vance has reached the ultimate, the
automotive industry has reached, fol
a time at least, a period of stability

TESTING WARPED VALVES.
Ordinary Rule May Be Used to
Take Measurements;

AS the valves operate in the COM
bustion chamber, they are subjected
TO the terrific heat of combustion,
rendering them liable to warping,
which prevents perfect seating.
Though warped valve head may
seat properly in certain positions, a
slight turn of the valve may destroy
the seat The only sure test is to re-
move the valve and examine 1t.
After the valve is removed, place
It upright on table and measure the
distance from the head to the end of
the stem at several points. An ordi-
nary rule may be used to take the
measurements, which should be the
same at all points. If the head is
warped, the valve should be replaced.

In attaching things to the radiator,

through the core. If you will insert
the shaft and then turn it as you would

SHIFT CAREFULLY.
Lever Will Kick Back If Driver Is
Careless.

The gear shift lever Of a car is ca
pable of an annoying kick back If the
gears are carelessly shifted.
a careless shift means one in which
the gears trip over each other before
their teeth actually mesh, during which
process the gear shift lever will vibrate
enough to give the relaxed fingers OF
the driver bad kick and perhaps in
jure one of them.
Whether your shifting Is good or bad
it's safer to grasp the lever firmly.

 The department points to the pre- dictions made during E. L. Frenchs administration when the director re- peatedly insisted that the stories Of an reproduction in this country last year were misleading and vic iously injurious to the farmers. It now is the new crop year with only months supply of wheat on hand and actually was importing some milling wheat to add to the better grades produced at home. The de- partment still contends MT. French was right in maintaining the bear ovement on last years crop was unjustified.
 Last August the departments months news letter declared "no one is friend fthe farmer who lends any further aid toward spreading the vicious stories about a tremendous surplus of wheat; in September it wa sdeclared "there is not enough milling wheat in the country to sp- ply the needs of our mills and in October it against insisted the over production story was false.

 MacLaren announced in Prince Ru pert that if the Americans for any reason failed he would again next year attempt to encircle the globe He said his first attempt was more of a private venture than an official one. The two officers were fed up on army life and wanted a bit ot excitement and obtained permission to make the flight from the air min istry whcih furnished a machine, pc trol and supplies.
 Three firms financed the venture, which took 12 months to get going,
 On March 20 the pair hopped off from Croyden most unlikely season. Rain and fog hindered all the way across Europe. At Corfu a new en- zine was installed. At Akyab in Burmah they ran into the monsoon season. Rain came down in such torrents that everything became wa terlogged and when the machine at tempted take-off it was so badly damaged the trip would have been abandoned, but the United States rushed a plane to him, assembling it and helping him in every way. Tt was the most sporting thing that could possibly have been done," said the Major.
 Two thirds of the way between Siam and Indo-China, they ran into high mountains and thick fogs, and were forced to fly higher and higher. Finally they found themselves in a jungle hemmed in by mountains. A landing was made in a clearing which turned out to be marsh Herds of elephants and deer dashed into the jungle as the plane landed.
 Tokio was reached without mishap and the real journey began. After Iturup they chugged over masses of fog. Bad weather came up so quick ly they did not know if they were upside down or inside out. They made out water and landed. They spent a week in a small hut, after their tent had been washed away. And all the time there was fog, fog, fog, and they were greatly relieved when a Japanese destroyer found them.
 All the way up the Kuriles it was a condition of thick fog and more engine trouble.

They had to land in Kamchatka in- stead of Nikolski as was planned.

Knowing they were near land they attempted to land on the rough sea, but the big swells broke the wings, and wrecked the plane. The place was and there was no oppor- tunity to make repairs.
