New Process May Produce Motor
Fuel From Natural Gas and Oxyeen

methanol may become important as a
motor fuel, Prof. Laying said
A chief outcome of the process de-
scribed by Prof. Laying. it was asserted.
will be its utilization in the oil fields of
the Southwest, where immense quanti-
ties of natural gas go to waste.
Prof. Laying said:
I'VE can consider that natural gas is
virtually thrown away. We have ordi-
nag air. which Is to be had for nothing.
We have found that by combining these
two principal substances in the presence
Of a catalyst, that we can produce
formaldehyde, formic acid and meth
anol
This new process should become a
serious competitor of the German
method of synthetically producing
me:S...-col or wood alcohol from hydro
gen and carbon monoxide. largely on
account of the large volumes of natural
gas available IN the oil fields of this
country"

SWAMpsCOTT, Mass, September II.
Discovery of a process which may
superaede even the great postwar
achievements OF German science in the
production of formaldehyde, formic acid
and methanol was announced today by
Prof. T. E, Laying of the University OF
Illinois before the American Chemical
Society convention.
Formaldehyde and methanol are the
starting points in the production of
synthetic resins and plastics found in
radio sets, automobiles, countless
nodded materials and in many forms
of art. Methanol Is used in great guam
titles In many chemical industries and
In the manufacture Of dye stuffs. paint
and varnish. With alterations in the

be able to build up again the Here
ford herd from which at one time
he sold cattle at prices as high as

Washington-(AP)-A plain story
Of the social and economic problems
to be solved on the farm has been
told to the Department Of Agricul-
ture by 2,745 city jewellers who one
time were farmers. It is their an
swer to the governments inquiry,
addressed to 10000 ex-farmers in an
effort to determine why they had
given up agriculture as the means Of
q livelihood. The picture they pre-
sent is an extremely human one, in
dicative Of the farm ills as they have
presented themselves to the men and
women they affected.
Summarizing and classifying the
replies to government questionnaires
and allowing the authors Of such re-
plies to speak for themselves. the
story may be worded as follows:
I'VE represent every state in the
union. Some Of us were farm ten
ants and some were farm owners.
In fact, one out Of six was a farm
tenant. None of us was q hired
man at the time of leaving the farm.
Two-thirds Of us, who were owners,
still own our farms. The 2,745 Of
us have total of 5000 children, and
somewhat less than half Of them are
still in our homes. More than hall
Of our number discontinued farming

WASHINGTON, Oct, 31, (P)- Another oddity will take it's place in this campaign of oddities late this week when the Republican high command directs the Party's vast field forces from general headquarters on a special train carrying Herbert Hoover to his home in California.
 SINCE THE DAY OF HIS nomination Hoover has had per sonal charge of the conduct of his fight for the Presidency and so it will be until the last shot is fired and the army of voters begins to march to the polls.
 When Hoover turns Westward tomorrow he will be surrounded by most of his advisors who have been almost constantly at his side.
 AS his opponent is concluding a spectacular appeal for votes in the normally Republican strongholds in the East, Hoover is being kept advised of events as they take place and after conferring with his advisors, he will send forth orders for moves intended to counteract the Democratic activi- ties.
