INGENIOUS WOMAN
 USES HERALD 'AD'
Offers Services as Chauffeur for
 Special Occasions

When anyone, and more especial ly woman. has been in the hnhit of driving an automobile day in and day out for a considerable number ot years and then suddenly finds her self without machine of her own, she Is al her wits end,
 Such has been tho case Of cer. tain young lady in New Britain who was responsible yesterday for the insertion of the following ad in The Herald:
 EXPERIENCED WOMAN--drivcr wants position driving car. Phone etc"
 The young woman In question has been spending the summer at the shore and only recently returned to the city and 10 the sad realization ( that life in New Britain without an automobile just simply "aint what il used to be-"
 She pon1crcd long over a possible solution 10 her difficulty. and as iS always true in the case of one prone to persovere, she found it. and through the aid of a neighbor,
 This ncighbor is an elderly woman , nervous and high strung, and has been for the past six months en. deavoring to learn the intricacics oi automobile driving. but with little ol no success. She appealed to the young woman a few days ago, ask ing her to drive her oil shopping excursion, and while doing this, g plan slowly began 10 take form il the nimble brain of this embryo chauffeur.
 Why couldn't she make & business Of this driving of old ladies in par , ti.ular. and anyone else in general here. there or wherever they nigh desire to go? She thought first o giving driving instructions, but al though she has driven large mum Der of cars. both shift and shiftless she felt that she did not know enough concerning those traits pc culiar to several makes she hat } never seen. Driving for someone else seemed the only way out.
 New difficulties followed the in sertion of yesterdays ad. It seem l ed too vague. embracing as 1t dit all kinds of driving, even to trucks which 1t is evident. never was in tended. Of course, as she put it thi morning. trucks are driven by wom \ en In some of the, bigger cities, bu 1t would never never do in NeN Britain.

THINKS AMERICA OUGHT
 TO FIND GAS SUBSTITUTE
Coal OnGers Best Possible Solution, in Opinion of U. S. Chemist
 Flcldncr

New York, Sept, 80 P--America should now De working on sub .stitute for gasoline, and coal is the logical source for such a sub. stltute. pr. A. (. Fieldner, chief of the United States bureau of mines, told the chcmists attending tho American Chemical society sympo- sium today.
 "The gradual failure of the yearly output of petroleum gasoline 10 meet the increasing needs of the auto motive industries" said Dr. Field nor, with the consequent rise in prices of motor fuel, should stimu- late the carbonization Of coal by both high and low temperature processes"
 Dr. Fieldner said there seemed to be no doubt but that most of the country's great mass of unmined coal, constituting more than so per cent, of the worlds reserve, would still be in the ground when all inc petroleum available by drilling and pumping methods has become ex- haustcd.
 "The time for fuel research is here" said Dr. FicIdncr. "Wc may need some gasoline substitutes ir five years, or t may be in 25 years. :
 Milton C. W. Whitaker, president of the United States Industrial Al, cohol company, predicted that al, cohol would be used extensively il the making of motor fuels as gaso. line becomes scarce
 "The superiority of alcohol gaso. line fuels IS now safely esta blishet by actual experience, said Mir. Whit aker with intelligent adiustmen' Of compression and feed 10 capital ize the advantage inherent In al cohol blends, they easily excel gaso limo on every point important to tht motorist."

Z FACE TRIAL IN
ORIENTAL j.
CASE
HeImuth p. Heller and Ralph
J. Voight Go Before Jury
on Fraud Charge

Bishop Helmuth p. Hollerr
president OF Oriental University
1902 Oregon avenue northwest, in
dicted in 1922 for conspiracy to use
the mails for fraudulent purposes
and Ralph A. Voigt, jointly indicted
with him, were placed on trial to
day before a jury in Criminal
Court No. /, Justice Stafford pre-
siding. Sam Kaplan and Robert
Adcox, also indicted with Hollel
and Voigt, withdrew their pleas
Of not guilty and entered pleas OF
guilty before the trial started.
Attired in a long coat of sombre
black and clerical collar, Bishop
Holler took a seat beside his
counsel, Harry Hegarty Voigt
being represented by Attorney
Joseph Kelly. The Government is
represented by Assistant District
Attorneys Pearl M. Mccall and
Leo Rover.
The Government alleges in the in.
dictment that the University of
which Holler is alleged to be the
head has sold its diplomas in all
parts of the world; that it main
tanned an exceedingly low standard
OF scholarship, and that as a result
Of its activities the good name of
American educational institutions
had been jeopardized abroad.
It is also claimed by the Govern.
ment that Holler, in an effort to
bolster up the reputation OF his
university, had gathered an impos-
ing faculty and student" list,
apparently picked at random from
the city directory. The prosecution,
it is alleged, viii try to prove that
Holler realized 1000 from sales
OF degrees in the year preceding
his indictment. Circulars of The
Institution show that the average
price for degree was $55, which
included careful coaching on the
graduation theme" for which an
impressive-looking diploma was
granted.
One Of the numerous instances
alleged Is that OF a Greek dentistry
student, who failed in a local uni.
versity, but obtained degree from
Holler at the reduced rate of $45
for a theme" on ''toothache."
Holler's university is said to
have passed its formatory period
in little room over a shoe store
in Alexandria, Va.
