NEW YORK, June 22.-In a city
noted for the unneighborliness of its

Unless George Mosher has q trans
fusion every week, at a cost of $50,
which he can't afford, at q hospital run
by charity he will die, said physicians
at Seaside Hospital. on State Island.
He Is suffering from kala -azar, or black
fever, an East Indian disease, rare in
this country
When Georges plight became known
through newspapers the hospital was
swamped with telephone and personal
calls by persons who offered money to
provide transfusions and others who
offered their own blood Pupils at a
city high school took up O collection
to provide funds; men, ranging from
laborers to lawyers, offered their blood,
and two citizens offered to pay for all
the treatments for the boy.
A number of blood tests were made
at the hospital, but because of its lin
tied facilities arrangements were made
to make tests Of others at various New
York hospitals. The boys mother is
dead and his father incapacitated for
work from an accident. How he con-
tracted the disease is mystery to
doctors.

STANDARD TOUSE
/ new OIL PROCESS
viii Build Commercial Plant
in New Jersey for Hydro

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 22.--The Standard
Oil Co. of New Jersey Is CONSTRUCTING
the first commercial plant In the. United
States for INCORPORATION of petroleum
at its bayway property, near Elizabeth
N. J.
The process, for which the American
rights have been obtained by Standard
of New Jersey, was developed by the
German dye trust. the I. G. Farben In
dustrie.
Construction of the new plant In
wolves plans for production Of gasoline
at the rate Of approximately 100000
barrels daily. t.
Decision Follows Long Experiments.
Decision to build the plant follows
two years experimentation with the
process in a small plant at Baton
Rouge, La, where it was found that
100 per cent gasoline could be recovered
from crude, compared with between IS
and As per cent In the most modern
cracking processes now In use in the
United States.
The INCORPORATION method is said tc
be more costly than existing cracking
methods.
Students in the oil industry believe
that INCORPORATION of oil and products
will, In the interests of conserving the
Nations and worlds supplies of oil
supplant entirely within the nexG ,ev
years all OF the widely used methods Of
oil refining.
This prediction is based on the fact
that for many years the excess OF lieavy
oils has been the greatest problem OF
the oil industry. Disposal of these
lower grade oils at very low prices fol-
heating and power-making purposes is
given as reason for depression in the
coal mining industry.
The German process is said to pro-
duce 100 barrels of gasoline from l0C
barrels of crude. The process opera
at high temperature, using hydrogen
and a catalyst.
Description Of Process.
A general description is that the oil
treated loses 10 per cent of its weight
through carbon given OF In treating
and increases 10 per cent in volume
through the introduction of the hydro
gen necessary to the chemical and me-
/ chantcal readjustmentS in producing
gasoline.
The Farben process, It is believed IN
oil circles, will supplant existing REIN.
ing processes as soon as the movement
supported by the Government and the
industry to conserve oil supplies take1
definite shape. With production cur.
tailed to the point where crude would
become too expensive for use in i1satins
buildings, on transcontinental railroads
and internal and coastal steamship lines
higher ratios OF gasoline recovery from
crude would be essential.

SPECULATION CURB
CREDITED TO BOARD
Hamlin Claims Success for Policy
Of Fighting Diversion of
Funds.
By the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
POLAND SPRINGS, Me-, June a.
The policy adopted by the Federal Re-
serve Board to combat diversion OF Fed
eral reservevfunds into speculative chan
nels was declared to be effective by
Charles s. Hannlin, member Of the board,
In an address tonight before the Maine
Bankers Association.
The Federal Reserve system" he
said, has taken an effective control of
the situation without increasing dis
count rates and In the control thus ex-
ercised through the medium of direct
pressure the system has established q
new technique which shows that d.
version of Federal Reserve credit into
speculative channels may be curbed
without serious injury to agriculture and
business"
He emphasized at the beginning of his
address that what he had to say repre-
sented merely his own personal views
and that he was not in any sense speak
ing for the Federal Reserve Board.
