is made after the engine has run few minutes.
 In the burner, all of the gases de- rived from the destructive distilla- tion of wood are generated but the non-condensable gases are burned.
 The others pass through four clarifiers and filters, running cross wise of the machine, under the chassis, and the impurities are re- moved and washed out in water condensed from the steam. From the clarifiers the gases go to the engine and are ignited by spark in the same manner as gasoline.
 The weight of the fuel is two and half to three times that of gaso- line. Refueling is necessary every five hours. The attachment is ap- plicable to airplane engines but the added weight would materially re- duce the cruising radius of a plane
 For aeronautic uses the only ad- vantage, Colonel Imbert says, would be the reduction of fire hazard in an imperfect landing and the pro- viding of source of power in re- mote sections of the world, such as the Arctic regions, where gasoline must be transported long distances.

 At the San Francisco Presidio the attachment applied to Liberty motor hauled 38 tons.

FAVOR STATE LAW
 ID BAN FIREWORKS
Ordinance Committee Believes
 Statute Should Be Adopted

The common council committee on ordinances went on record last night in favor of action by the state legis- ture to prohibit the sale and use of fireworks in Connecticut and voted tS recommend to the council that the senator and representatives from New Britain introduce a. bill at the mittee also voted to return to the council unapproved petition call- ing for an ordinance to prohibit the sale and use of fireworks in New Britain, the reason being that it would be unwise to have such ban in this city when Plainville, Berlin, Newington and Farmington allow fireworks. New Britain residents could go across the line into those towns and make their purchases, it was pointed out.
 Councilman W. G. Gibney. who has been opposed to a sweeping ban since the matter was originally pro- posed said he would introduce a resolution at the council meeting next week to provide for a regula- tion prohibiting the sale and use of blank cartridges, blank cartridge pistols, large cannon crackers and salutes. He made the point that there is no way of knowing in advance of the ession of the legislature what disposition will be made of the pro- posed bill and the public of New Britain would probably be better pleased to know that the. local of- fcials are doing something to. ale viate the dangerous condition pre- vailing every year on account of the promiscuous use of pistols and large salutes and cannon crackers.
 Merchants Favor Gibney Move
 In the event that the legislature rejects the proposed bill, New Brit zain will probably have the restric- tive measure favored by Councilman Gibney. because fireworks dealers as body have expressed a willingness to do away with the traffic in blank cartridges and pistols and many of them no longer deal in them. Councilman Gibney has stood out against the sweeping ban against fireworks on the ground that Inde- pendence Day would lose its identity

Alderman J. Gustave Johnson, chairman of the committee, brought up recommendation from the building commission that the heat ing code. which has been in com mittee for about two years, be acted on. After a discussion, it was de- cided to consider the matter at the next meeting. many of the members being unfamiliar with it because of not having been on the committee when it was being investigated.
 Councilman H. $. Hanes spoke of the situation brought about by the zone change on Myrtle street, a diff ference of opinion between city of ficials and attorneys having arisen over the procedure taken. but AL

if some noise and celebration in the distinctive way to which the coun- try has become accustomed were not permitted.
 Councilman W. S. Scheuy said he had come to the conclusion that the sweeping ban should be put into op- eration because of the great danger from fireworks, not only to chill dren but to boys and girls over 14 years of age and their elders. also, He, doubted that the legislature would enact law such as tho com- mittee favored and if it is rejected in January or February. dealers in fireworks will bef justified in com blaming that the city should not put on the ban at a time when the years stock is being ordered or has been contracted for.

CHINESE BANDITS
 l LAY HONAN WASTE
Towns Racked, Residents Tor 7 tlred By Cruel Conquerors

Peiping, Sept. 12. UP)-While Chinese politicians in the north are using the Communist uprisings south of the Yangtze as pretext to attack General Chang Kai-shek for per mitting them, reliable reports from Honan province, largely controlled by the northern coalition, show that conditions in Honan, although they have not been so widely advertised, are just as bad or worse than those in Human and Kiangsi provinces.
 The situation in Honan closely parallels that in Human and kiang- si. The civil war; compelled General Chiang kai-shek to withdraw troops from the southern provinces. giving the Communists their chance. In precisely the same manner, the civil war compelled Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang to withdraw his troops from western and northern Honan, giving bandits in this province an opportunity to loot, burn and kill, which they have used to full advan- tage.
 SaIudtIOH AppdluHS
 Reports from missionaries and Chipese travellers in Honan reveal situation so appalling that it can hardly be comprehended in the west, where such conditions have not existed since the Middle Ages. Scores of towns and villages. have been cap tured, footed and burned this sum- mer, and thousands of Chinese have been killed with torture, or carried off for ransom.
 It is estimated. that between 40 and 50 fairly well-org ganized bandit gangs are active in western Honan at present, and few cities and towns have escaped their ferocity.
 An eyewitness describes the cap- ture of Yikingpu, a good sized town about 30 miles east of Loyang, which is fairly typical to, dozens of similar outrages Tn Honan. A robber band numbering about 5000 descended upon Yikingpu and surrounding will lages. First the villages were footed thoroughly, hundreds of Chinese were killed after slow torture to learn where their money was hidden, and finally the villages were burn ed to the ground. They are a heap of ashes.
 800 Killed, 2,OOO Wounded
 The robbers then attacked and captured the town, where they re- mained for two days, footing and killing. The deaths are estimated at 500. while 2,ooo men, women and children were wounded by the rob- bers, who hacked at anyone they en- countered. The robbers rounded up everyone suspected of having money, and carried them off for ransom.
 The eyewitness declares the bandits were incredibly cruel. He declares they nailed small children to walls, and left them hanging alive and in agony.
 Northern Honan is the tradition home of professional robbers, who have survived for generations in the mountains. Encouraged by the withdrawal of Feng Yu-hsiang's troops. these gangs are now all ac- tive. and have devastated wide areas. They have now seized the govern ment,' and impose taxes" on the people which are nothing more than extortions. One of the bandit leaders has called himself emperor" and set up a miniature court. ..
 Because of bandit activities in Honan, crops have been destroyed or never planted, and the province faces the prospect of another fam ine either this winter or in the early spring

CORBIN AVENUE BRIDGE
 NARROWER THAN STREET
Widening of Span Proposed as Highway Condition Is Consid-
 cred Dangerous.

A conference will be held soon, it is expected between representatives of the N. Y, N. H. & H. R. Co.,, the public works board and the railroad committee of the common council relative to the proposed widening of the Corbin avenue bridge. The city officials concerned are desirous of having the work done this fall, as the recent work on the highway has left a, dangerous condition in that the bridge is much narrower than the rest of the travelled way.
 According to Mayor Quigley, only half a bridge was constructed on Corbin avenue about IS years ago when the grade crossing was elim- mated and the increasing use of the avenue makes it imperative that the structure be widened and strength ened.
