GERMANS SHOW CONCERN
OVER HALT IN BOND SALES
Financial Circles Assert Foreign
Prejudice Against Nations Sc
curities Is Serious Handicap.
By the Associated Press.

By the Assoeia ted Press
BERLIN, June 3.-German financial
circles are worried over the cessation
of foreign purchases of German
stocks and bonds. The apparent pref
udice against German securities is
believed to have had it's inception in
Zurich, where heavy losses were sus-
tanned through the failure of the
Becker Steel Works, and to have
spread to other International trading
centers.
Parallel with this goes the con-
stantly decreasing demand by domes-
tic firms for foreign exchange, in
dieating that German manufacturers
are ceasing to import raw materials
and are trying to get rid of accumu-
lated stocks. The reichSbank, which
formerly was besieged with orders
for foreign exchange, so that usually
only from 2 to 10 per cent of the
sums asked for were granted. can at
present easily assign so per cent and
more to each applicant.
Many Berlin firms are conducting
clearance sales in an effort to obtain
ready cash. 1t is understood that
numerous efforts have been made to
interest foreign capital in solid Ger
man concerns, but that foreigners
are hesitant, even il gilt-edge mort
CAGES are offered. because they rec
ognize that the allies, under the pro-
visions of the Dawes report, will
have a prior claim, as will also the
rentenbank.

new MOTOR FUEL
GIVEN THOROUGH TEST
Demonstration Shows That Standard
Ethyl Gas Gives Motor
More Power. =.

Visual Proof of the efficiency and
added pwer of STANDARD" Ethyl gas,
now being distributed in this district
by the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey, was demonstrated re-
Gently by Thomas c. Midgely, Jr.,
vice-president and general manager
Of General Motors Chemical Com
pany, at the laboratories of the Gen
eral Motors Research Corporation,
Dayton, o.
For the purposes Of the demostra-
ton a single cylinder gas engine was
hooked up with a generator. From
the generator, which supplied the
load, wires led to an instrument board
with an ammeter so the work the
motor was dong could be seen at all
times. On the top of the motor was
a small brass pin held down by a
spring. When the motor was running
as all good motors should, the pin
served no purpose. But when the en-
CINE began to knock, the pin rose in
protest at each blow. When up, the
pin ignited an ordinary sixtecn-candle
power lamp.
The motor was started on ordinary
gasoline and ran without complaint.
The ammeter indicator gave a read
ing of twenty-three. Then trouble
started as Mr.. Midgely changed the
size Of the orifice through which the
air was drawn. The resultant noise
was familiar to those who have driv-
en- an automobile too far up a hill
without changing, gears. It was a
good healthy knock. The little brass
pm was trying it's hardest to jump
out of the cylinder head; the electric
light was flashing regularly and the
ammeter Indicator dropped back a
half dozen places.
Midgely then switched the gasoline
feed pipe from the regular gasoline
to STANDARD" Ethyl Gas. AS the new
fuel entered the combustion chamber
the engine became well-behaved, in
fact it seemed better engine than it
had been before the knock had devel-
oped. The brass pin was still and the
electric lamp dark. Most interesting
of all the ammeter had started climb
ing to new hight record. The mot
or was developing more power than
at any previous time.
The knock heard, explained Nudge
~, "is the defamation of the fuel
charge. In other words, gasoline be-
HAYES like high explosive which, if
compressed too much or overheated,
explodes with such violence that it
breaks up everything in the neighbor-
hood. AS the result of experiments,
which started in 1916, we discovered
that Ethyl fluid would eliminate this
defamation from gasoline"
The demonstration engine was
switched back to plain gasoline and
the adjustment resorted to normal.
The engine ran quietly, but the am
meter showed less current being gen.
Grated than had been when the en-
CINE was working on the treated fuel.
