FUEL SUBSTITUTE
FOR OIL NOT FOUND
Research Expert Sees Years
of Experiment Before Auto
Problem Is Solved.

Despite persistent attempts of chem
lists to replace petroleum as motor
fuel as yet there is no economical
substitute, according to c. +. Ketter-
ing, president of the General Motors
Research Corporation, who discusses
Motor Design and Fuel Economy" in
a paper prepared for the American
Chemical Society.
The last two decades have seen
the most remarkable development in
transportation ever witnessed in the
worlds history" Mr.. Kettering as
serts. This development is due to
the almost universal use of automo-
biles by the American public.
AT the present time enormous
quantities of motor fuel are being con-
stunned by automobiles Authorities
are in agreement that to supply motor
fuel for all time constitutes an out
standing problem for serious consid-
Grafton.
Crude Oil Abundant
There appears to be an abundance
OF fuel distributed throughout the
earth's crust, bat of this only a small
proportion meets the eXacting require
ments of the automobile engine
When one considers that motors
are in use which require that 40 Sepa-
rate fires be built within each cylin-
der each second of operation, one read
lily perceiveS that the tlintS and dry
moss of our forefathers are made
quate substitutes for the high-tension
spark and gasoline vapor of the pres
ent day.
The one essential property of 4 sat
isfactory motor fuel to meet this need
IS volatility - all other requirements
can be obtained by the addition of
moditierS.
Good Substitute Lacking.
Though there appears to be no i'm
mediate danger of our subterranean
fuel tanks of petroleum running dry.
il is automatic that every gallon of
petroleum taken out of the ground
leaves one gallon less to be taken out
III the future, and some day mo one
knows just when our petroleum re-
serves will have diminished to the
point where we can no longer supply
our motorists with a sufficient guam
tity of cheap volatile motor fuel from
this source.
No economically satisfactory sub
stitute is Immediately available. Many
years of research may be necessary
before the actual development of such
substitute can start. More years of
deVelopnent may be necessary before
practical results of a quantitative ma
ture are obtained.
If q petroleum shortage should oc-
cur during these years, the enormous
utility of automotive transportation
will be seriously interfered with. Such
a catastrophe can be largely avoided,
or at least greatly modified, if motor
car fuel economy can be materially
Increased. To this end recognizable
improvements in motor and car de-
sign must and can be effected.
Fuel economy does not mean sim
ply obtaining more miles per gallon.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-10-25

In the narrow sense it does. but broad
ly considered it implies increasing eff
cheney and increasing utility.
For example, a man could trade
his $4,000 limousine, giving miles per
gallon, for i light. cheap runabou
delivering "A miles per gallon, and put
81 600 in the bank.
obviously this transaction is high
ly economical, but it is seldom exc
cuted. since the reduced utility of the
cheaper car more than offsets the
gain In economy.
. Likewise, increasing efficiency, in
the strict engineering sense, does not
necessarily imply increased miles per
gallon. since tha motoriSt may elect
to utilize such a gain for increasing
utility rather than obtaining more
miles per gallon.
Failure to recognize such points
has misled many inventors to propose
schemes which, while engineeringly
sound. have resulted only in wasted
effort

SING[E-P[A7ETYPE
OF CLUTCH PRICED
Introduction Solves Many
Problems in Automotive De-
signing, Expert Says.

Introduction of the single-plate type
of clutch has solved many perplexing
problems in automotive designing,
writes L. T.. Wemp, clutch engineer,
in the journal of the Society of Auto
motive Engineers.
Mr.. Wemp points out that the
leather-faced cone clutch held sway in
the early period of automotiVe history.
Then followed the metal-to-metal null
tiple-diSk clutch. which operated in oil
The next important advancement in
clutch designing is represented as the
multiple-disk dry clutch, adopted about
Is years ago. Which was succeeded by
the Singleplate type.
Ten years ago the automobile in
dustry was we'll established and de-
manded better units for less money"
declares Mr.. Wemp. 'At the same
time the car drivers demanded easier
operation, and. as the single-plate
clutch meets both requirements it
came into prominence rapidly.
DispIaces the Cone Type.
1t has displaced the cone type on
most of the cheaper cars, and because
of its lower cost and reasonable serv-
iceability has made serious inroads in
the multiple,disk type field for use on
cars of the medium and higher priced
models No new types have been de-
veloped during the last ten years,
during which period the advancement
has been III the way of retinements of
design and developments of materials
used in existing types.
The dry multiple-disk and single
plate types of clutch were made pos
sible by development of the asbestos
base friction facing. \ good friction
facing in properly designed clutch
should permit smooth, flexible engage
ment over a wide range of speeds and
be able to withstand hard and con-
tinuous service over a long period.
Interesting Development
zone of the most interesting deyeI-
opmentS has been design of single
plate clutch in which Il dense nodded
type OF facing can he used and good
clutch engagement obtained. Thermal
efficiency is an element in design that
has not received sufficient attention.
III the opinion of the author, who saws
that as III pickup the clutch changes
horsepower into heat, it is not good
practice to house the clutch complete
ly in the flyWheel and that openings
should be provided to allow air TO
circulate through the mechanism.

length and the second 34 inches. While not extra ordinary in size, the trophies were very good and Dr.. Derby was we'll pleased with them. The two brown bears were seven and one-half feet and six and one half feet in length. Both were beau tiful, dark, silky coats, with just a slight grizzled effect on the edges. Dr. Derby used six point Mann licher rifle and Henry Lucas a 80 Mauser.
 Both of the bears were bagged practically together. At distance of about one-half mile, Dr. Derby placed a shot in the first large bear, which in turn, started for other climes. It was determined that evil dent the bear had received a mortal wound for tracking the beast thru the recent fall of snow, when it was noted the amount of blood on the trail The following chase of four hours, took the hunters over the di- vide, thru thick clumps of alders and soggy marshlands, ending in broad, beautiful, park-like country, free from underbrush. Here, the brownie came to halt. At dis tance of forty yards, Dr. Derby placed two more shots into the bear, which dropped inert for all time. Shortly after, as the hunters were trudging along in the same vicinity, two more bears were encountered, one shot sufficing for one, but the other, speeded away too rapidly. Even so, Dr. Derby sent two shots after the fast moving target, missing both times At another time, both hunters had their guns slung across their backs, being particularly occu- pied in taking moving pictures, they were astonished to view with much anxiety, huge bruin making direct 1 ly in their direction at a distance of not more than forty feet, not yards. It was evident the bear heard
 their approach, and thinking a moose
 or other game, was getting the jump
 on it or them. Both hunters turn
 ed simultaneously from off the trail, unstrapping their guns with the same
 movement Likewise, at the same
 time, the charging bear turned off
 into the woods, disappearing with
 ripidity over the hogback, but not
 before Dr. Derby sent two parting shots after it. The last glimpse of
 the bear denoted the fact he was travelling at express speed on di-

hunt for rare specimens in the Tian Shan Range, Colonel Theodore Roose- velt and his brother, Kermit, with their Jomes n4Roosevelt,Field Museum expedition, arrived at Rash gar, the principal city of Chinese Turkestan, on September 2S. A wire less message giving, results of the expeditions operations was receiv. ed here today.
 "The American hunters have col lected splendid groups of the giant ibex of the Tian Shan, Papati, the goitered gazelle, mountain sheep bears, Siberian roe and boars. They also have obtained 500 skins of birds and small mammals, in which it is believed several new specimens are included.
 Tt is the plan that George K. Cher rie, noted explorer and ornithologist of the party, and Cutting, the photo. grapher, shall take the specimens already obtained and make their way out of Turkestan by way of Russia.
 "The Roosevelt party expects short ly to leave Kashgar, which is on the highroads linking Picking, India and Russia, for the Pamir Range, where they will hunt the ovis poll, the Mar. co Polo sheep" believed to be the original type of all mountain sheep.
 "As soon as this hunt is ended the Roosevelts will return to India by way of the Hunza Pass, by which they entered the high tableland of Central Asia from India. Permission to traverse the Hunza Pass, which was refused by the Indian govern ment on the outward journey, has now been given for the return by the Earl of Reading, viceroy of India and Sir John B. Wood, British resi- dent in Kashmir."
 Leaving Seward five weeks ago Dr. Derby and party, left direct fol Skilak lake, heading for the adja cent sheep country. Later, they hunted in the moose area. The en tire hunt was successful and forum ately, the rainfall which fell quite frequently came down during the nights However, most of the time the days were so short and over cast, little camera work was accom- plished Dr. Derby entered the field with 5000 feet of film but was only able to shoot an approximate 200( |feet of it.

 After several attempts to shoot sheep in their natural habitats, high in the mountains, Dr. Derby, with the aid of recent snowfall, which drove the sheep down to the low lands, bagged two. Previous to get ting them, however, he had made several long shots but failed to con- meet. The two he did secure were obtained from fairly close quarters.
 The photographing end of the hunt proved to be more or less disappoint- ing, however, 2000 feet of moose and other game pictures were secured. The first day in the mountains, Dr. Derby just missed snapping black bear He was in splendid range for a long-range Tense shot, but the bear drew in too close, and by the time the shorter distance Tense was affix- ed to the camera, the bear was gone. In many cases pictures taken of the moose were shot at distance of from 100 to 300 yards.
 With reference to his guides, Hen ry Lucas and George Nelson, Dr. Derby said both were most capable hunters and know their business thor oughly A word of praise was also given to Andy Anderson, who resides on Caribou Island, Skilak Lake, who acted as cook.

For sustained excitement and in- terest, one week ago Sunday, to be exact, I never experienced such a grand day in my life, as when we tracked four miles thru the snow, a wounded bear, and with two more shots, killed him." exclaimed Dr. Richard Derby, at the Van Glider hotel Saturday, to the Gateway rep resentative, following his return to Seward from the Skilak Lake coun- try, Kenai peninsula, where, for the past five weeks, Dr. Derby, with Henry Lucas and George Nelson, guides, has been hunting big game with rifle and moving picture came ras.
