BUNK grain alcohol.
We heard a lot, last year, about
a great scheme to convert surplus
grain into alcohol. The idea was
to save the farmer by requiring
every gallon of gasoline to be mix
ed with a certain portion of grain
alcohol.
The fuel research committee of
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce comes along now and
punctures that balloon. The gaso-
line-alcohol mixture, it finds,
while it enables the motor to accel-
crate faster, makes starting harder,
absorbs moisture from the air, cor
rodes engine and fuel pipe lines and
costs much more than. straight
gasoline. Besides, alcohol of high
er quality can be produced from
petroleum more cheaply than the
poorer quality obtainable from
grain.
Some day motors doubtless will
be run by alcohol, but they will
be built for alcohol use alone and
used only where and when the gas
oline supply has given out.

CHICAGO NAACP
SUES RAILROAD
FOR JIM GROW

CHICAGO - Suit for $4,000
damages against the Illinois Cen
trail railroad and the Pullman
Company jointly, has been filed
by Herman E. Moore and Gra-
ham T. Perry, attorneys repre-
senting the Chicago branch OF
the N.A.AC.F, acting in behalf
of MrE. ilosetta Briggs. 1853
vincennes avenue.
The papers, filed July /, allege
that Mrs. Briggs. who was i'll
last year and was on her way
from Salt Lake City. Utah, to
Gulfport. Miss. and who had a
fnst class railroad ticket entitl-
Ing her to Pullman accommoda-
lions. was denied such accommo-
dations at Chicago by the rail-
road and had to ride into Miss
isslppl in a day coach and also
had to employ and pay The fare
of a companion.
Same Happens to Mrs. Bethune
According to reports received
at the Chicago office of the MA.
A.C.P, the practice is to first
discourage colored people from
buying Pullman tickets on trains
going South, even though an In
teTstate passenger can not come
under the Jim Grow law of the
Southern states. Only last week
Mrs. Mary Mcleod Bethune was
refused a Pullman ticket from
ch4caso to Elorida but lnstead
OF demanding her ticket she had
some white people purchase IT
for her.
The association hopes to final
ly take the whole matter of Jim
Crow trains before the Interstate
Commerce Commission and is
waiting the outcome of the Mrs.
Briggs case TO take this step.
