LISTS OBSTACLES IN
GASOLINE -ALCOHOL
BLENDING PROPOSAL
Petroleum Chemist Points to
Affinity For Water Shown
BY Alcohol
ONLY REMEDIES EXPENSIVE
Farmer Might Lose More Than
He Could Gain, Chicago
Expert Says
ONLY REMEDIES EXPENSIVE

washington, March 30.-(F>-sever-
d complications to the plan Of blend
ing gasoline and alcohol produced
from farm grain, conceived as one
means Of aiding agriculture. were de-
tailed Thursday by DR.. Gustav Egloff
Chicago petroleum chemist.
An unorthodox affinity for water
shown by alcohol when 1t Is mixed
with gasoline was listed as one.
The amount Of water forming Il
just q trace so small that alone II
would be harmless in gasoline. But
in the mixture, the water concentrates
In the grain alcohol, causing It to
separate from the gasoline.
The remedy Is little butyl alcohol
But DR.. Egloff said the amount need
ed costs about two cents gallon
There are other blending mixtures
about equally expensive.
Add these two cents to an expecta-
ton Of as much as three cents for
the alcohol mixed with each gallon OF
gasoline, and the blend would cost
the motorist up to five cents a gallon
over the gasoline market price. DR..
Egloff maintained.
Would Rise $50, OOO, 900
The American motoring public. he
said, burns Is billion gallons of gaso-
line annually. If 10 per cent alcohol
Is added to each gallon, on this con-
sumption rate, with the farmer get
ting % cents a bushel for corn, the
additional amount chargeable to
blending would be 500 ,00O, 900 annual
". -
Another complication, r. Eglof1
said. IS the fact that the oil refiners
can, II they wish. make good alcohol
out Of their petroleum. potable alco-
hol exactly like that from corn. Furth-
ermore. they can make more Of II
than 1.-The combined output of all the
farms In the United States"
They probably could produce this
synthetic alcohol cheaper than grain
alcohol except when corn prices are
low. One large chemical company. he
said, already IS making this alcohol
in large quantities out of petroleum.
Would Decrease Mileage
Finally, he asserted, there would be
q four per cent decrease in mileage
from the alcohol-gasoline blend fuel
arguing from the oil mans point OF
view that the farmer might lose more
than he could gain, DR.. Egloff said:
Let US take the state Of Iowa for
example. The gasoline consumption
for 1882 was approximately 350,000,-
600 gallons. of which 1t was estimated
that one-half was consumed by the
farming population. To produce
enough alcohol in order to have q 10
per cent alcohol-gasoline blend would
require $4,000. 900 bushels of corn, for
which with ascent corn yielding Is
cents net = bushel the farmers would
have netted about g. 100000.
The increased motor fuel bill for
the state Of Iowa would have been al
most $1,000 900 of which the farmer
would have paid about $500 900. The
farmer would have thus lost about
=. 400,0 900 unless the increased price
Of the balance Of the corn products
would overbalance this loss"

final approval Of the forest conserva-

down the second relief road to which
the administration has pointed-the
creation Of . $500. 900 900 fund for
direct aid to states.
The agreement by the senate 70
house amendments to the president's
forestry measure, given without q
record vote, finished congressional
action on the bill.
The house amendments would pre-
vent discrimination IN selection Of
the unemployed because Of race,
color or creed and permit the presi-
dent TO use money provided by the
bill for purchase of land.
As 1t returned to consideration of
the relief fund proposal, the senate
adopted an amendment to the direct
relief bill limiting grants to states to
q determination by the relief admin
istration that all the money they
could raise was inadequate.
Roosevelt hopes to start the men,

pressed In the senate Thursday, with
Democratic leaders striving for quick
approval Of q $500. 100000 fund for
outright grants to states to take care
Of their needy. Heretofore federal

It was unusual parliamentary ma

Under Its terms the president may
hire the men at . 81 daily wage, plus
maintenance and clothing In camps.
Numerous efforts to increase this IL
