Shortage of Motor Car
Fuel Supply Not Feared

For the next $4,000 years. at any
rate, American Motorists may feel as
sured Of an ample fuel supply for
cars, boats, airplanes and whatnots.
Nor will 1t be necessary to carry a
tank full of INT or nitroglycerin in
the car to get us there and bring us
back.
Thus one great national worry was
laid at rest, when Thomas A. Boyd,
fuel technologist, recently talked to
the Canadian section Of the Society Of
Automotve Engineers meeting at
Toronto.
Mr.. Boyd cited the known quantity
of petroleum, crude petroleum, pc
troleum sands and shale deposits and
described three ways of converting coal
into liquid fuel. These are pyrolysis,
or coking at high and low tempera-
lures; refrigeration and gasincation.
The speaker dealt at some length with
the Burgess refrigeration process.
Speaking of the relative amount of
power contained in gasoline, Mr..
Boyd stated that this hydrocarbon
contains 10000 British thermal units !;
INT has $500; nitroglycerin, 5000;
dynamite, $500; and black powder,

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTIT1ONS
BY H. IRVING KING
WHITE HORSES

IN NEW ENGLAND they say, "Wish
on the first white horse you see
after the New Year and you will get
your wish. cor "Say white horse seven
times every time you see one and you
will receive present" But In Can.
ada they say that If you watch span
of white horses out of sight you will
die within the year; and in another
section 1t Is considered bad luck for
bridal couple to ride behind a pair
of white horses.
In the superstition with regard to
span Of white horses we have an
echo Of the NEUROLOGICAL Legend of
Hippolytus who was killed when his
span Of white horses ran away with
him upon the Troezen shore and who,
with Diana, was afterwards wor-
shipped at Nemi where white horses
were sacrificed to him. The fate of
Hippolytus sufficiently explained the
of white horses.
On the other hand the idea of good
luck attaching to white horse arises
from the fact that such an animal
was considered propitiatory offering
calculated to obtain the favor of the
gods and as such they are annually
sacrificed in many places in the
heather world.
There is popular belief that when
you see white horse you will soon
see red-headed girl. In some vari-
ants of this superstition red-heated
person of either sex Is Indicated
Now the standard of Hengist and
Horsa, the Jutish chief who invaded
England in the Fifth century, was a
white horse. The Jutes were a Ger
man tribe and we have it upon the
authority Of Tactus that the Germans
were red haired, which the ancient
BritOns were not. So wherever you
saw the White Horse of Hengist and
Horsa you would see red head. The
general form of the superstition which
specifies red-headed woman Is, APP.
parently, an hero of the names Of
the Jutish chieftains, Hengist and
Horsa. Wherever you saw the White
Horse of Hengist you would see the
red head of his brother, Horsa--the
chief with the feminine name.

How 1t Started

THE "LIBERTINE"

TODAY the libertine is q rake, a
L dissolute person without morals or
self-restraint, who places the desire
Of the moment above thought of right
or wrong or consideration for others.
And in the history of the term we
find an interesting story, a good ex-
ample of the romance there is In
words. ,..s
From the Latin 'libertinus," liber-
tine means literally freedman" the
original significance of the word.
'Libertus" and "Libertinus" are ia
miliar as names given by the ancient
Romans to the manumitted slave.
1t is said that there is but short
step between liberty and license and
the quick assumption would be that
from it's original meaning Of one who
is legally free the word "libertine"
was corrupted to describe one who
was too free and unrestrained and SO
took on its present significance Of
dissoluteness. That, however, would
be only half the story.
To complete it we must know of
pernicious sect that sprang up in the
Sixteenth century in the Reformed
Church of France and who called
themselves the "Libertines" or Spirit
ual Brethren and Sisters. Under the
guise of a dogma-they professed
pantheism, or the worship of all gods
rather than one-Libertinism soon
degenerated into open and avowed
sensualism. And though the cult Is
long extinct its name survives in the
Significance Of our word ..libertlne"
today.
