crude oil in this country that the peak
of petroleum production will be
reached within 10 years or less and,
| therefore, conservation of crude oil re-
sources must start now. A 10 per cent
blend of alcohol with a straight gaSo-
| line. they say, is the best conServa-
| ton policy. They maintain that blend
ed fuel is no longer an experiment;
that it is being sold, millions of gal
Ions monthly, to automobilists and is
used largely in many foreign lands.
Predict Lower Costs Soon.
They admit that at present power
alcohol using farm products such as
cereals, Jerusalem artichokes. fruits.
etc, as raw materials, is commercially
high priced, but they submit unequivo-
cal statements by noted industrial
chemists that before the high peak of
crude oil production is reached, with
consequent increase in the price of
gasoline, farm alcohol can and will be
produced at cost as low as 10 cents
gallon. They declare tnat alki-gas
will solve much of the farm problem
by making it possible for the farmer
to increase his crops. which would be
used as raw material in the produc-
tion of power alcohol, with the as
Surance of steady markets.
On the other side, leaders in the
petroleum industry pooh-pooh the
theory that oil resources are In dan
ger of early extinction. For nearly
80 years." they say, there have been
periodic scares that petroleum re-
sources would shortly be gone. Geolo-
gistS have barely begun to probe the
deeper levels under old oil fields,
where they expect large supplies to be
found in the future. There is nothing
like the danger of exhausting our oil
resources that the advocates of alcohol
blending would have us believe"
Other counterclaims of the oil men
are: Alcohol blends either give less
mileage or poorer performance, de-
pending upon carburetor adjustments.
Farmers would benefit very little, If
any, under present conditions because
manufacture of alcohol from farm
products is costly. Motorists would
have to pay from to cents gallon
more for the blend than for straight
alcohol.
Motorists to Decide Issue.
cit is not practicable to make farm
alcohol entirely from farm products.
Fuel consumed in operating alcohol
plants totals l gallon of fuel oil
for IL pounds Of coal per gallon of
alcohol produced; this is not sound
conservation of natural resources.
Foreign countries use the blend be-
cause they have no petroleum re-
sources. If the blend were as good a
fuel as straight gasoline and cost no
more, it would be to the selfish ad-
vantage Of any oil company to manu-
facture and sell it."
Disinterested authorities say there
will be plenty of time to judge the
fuel merits or demerits of alki-gas-
five years at least. And they add
that by that time alcohol-gasoline
motor fuel blend probably will be SELL
ing all over the country alongside OF
straight gasoline. Then, they say, the
great army Of American automobilists
will pass judgment upon alki-gas-
and not till then.

Glory That France Lost

PARIS N)-France this year eeie-

Sharks Do Eat Men Despite Claims
To Contrary, Says Museum Scientist

that lives except a shark could make
a scar like this"
How account for the fact" he
was asked, that natives in shark
infested waters swim fearlessly
among them and that a scientist like
Beebe could make such gross error?"
The fact. I Think said DR.. Gud
ger, "is that Beebe never has been
bitten by a shark yet. The natives
are a little more difficult to explain
away.
Hunger Is Important Point.
"T'he shark is undisputed king of
the seas. No other f1sh-not even
porpoiSes or whales-will dare attack
it. But the shark is very timid king.
Except when hungry, it will. go
farther to get away from man than
man will go to get away from it. I've
seen a hungry shark attack whale,
and I've seen well fed one run away
from the splash of an oar.
ITO give you an idea: If you throw
a stone at a barracuda, it will dart
away and then circle back to see who
is getting fresh. If you throw a
stone at a shark, it may dart away
and keep on going, or it may swallow
the stone.
Its this lack of bravado that has
given some people the idea sharks
are not man-eaters. But you can
say for me that a hungry shark Is
absolutely fearless and will eat any
thing. A shark once tried to eat
rowboat I was in and when threw
a harpoon at its side, the harpoon
bounced off as If from armor- plate.
Stay Away, Is Best Plan.
"The average shark has more than
200 teeth. 1t has enough power in
its Jaws to bite a man in two with a
single snap. And since it is hardly
possible to ask a neighboring shark
whether it is hungry or not before
putting yourself in reach, I have
always stayed out of water occupied
by one"
Christopher W. Coates, curator of
tropical fish at the Aquarium in this
city, has something to add to the sub
ject of the power of a sharks bites.
"A baby shark was delivered to us
the other day in wood-lined tank"
said Mr.. Coates. when it came time
to lift it out, grabbed hold of its tall,
but 1t sank its teeth into the sheer
wall Of the tank and I couldn't pull
1t loose. Three men, all yanking to-
gether, couldn't do it either. and we
finally had to poke at its nose until it

A LKI-GAS, that much-discuSsec

n ing station arguments, seems
to be developing into a country wide
issue.
For some time this power mixture
facetiously referred to as the "autc
cocktail" has been the subject Of
an animated but decorous discussion
among industrial chemists and en-.
giners. Recently, however, the argu-
mentation grew somewhat heated anc
now it is cutting up like a knock
down-and-drag-out scrap.
The powerful organizations, the
Chemical Foundation and the Amer
lean Petroleum Institute, are def
nitely. not to say defiantly, in open
opposition to each other-the founda-
ton for and the institute against
alki-gas. Each is working through
and with other organiza lions.
The foundation has with it some
large agricultural associations, the re-
Gently formed Farm Chemurgic Coun-
Gil and q number of well-known
industrial chemists and engineers.
The institute has back of it the whole
petroleum industry, some prominent
agricultural leaders and many in
dustrial chemists and engineers OF
high standing.
Active Campaign Seen.
Active campaigning for and against
blended motor fuel is indicated for
next Winter. Several organizations
are in the field forming groups OF
farmers in a number of States into
local associations to push a program
designed to obtain State legislation
which, in effect, would compel the
use of industrial, or power, alcohol
made from domestic farm crops in
motor fuel. This movement is not
new, but appears to be spreading and
becoming more aggressive.
South Dakota and Nebraska are
the only States which have taken
legislative action. Nebraska exempts
from tax alcohol itself, in blends in
which the alcohol is made from do
mestic farm products, and South Da-
kota permits, but does not compel
the use of blended fuel. It is the
opinion of some authorities that pre-
vention of compulsory Federal or
State legislation in favor of alki-gas
is the main purpose of the cam
paign against the use Of motor blends
which the oil men are carrying on.
Rivals Present proofs"
Each group Is submitting proofs"
of its claims for and against the
blended fuel. They present sheaves of
data, reams of statistics, piles of fact
findings by chemists, engineers, pro-
fessors and research laboratory ex-
perts. A detailed presentation Of the
evidence" would bewilder the unin-
formed layman. But the following are
some of the highlights of the con-
troversy:

pectlng to hold Office, or men whose
status in public life rests on associa-
tion with one of the old parties-Such
men will not lead a movement for a
coalition ticket. They will not even
give countenance to such movement
unless it should become very formid-
able.
1t Is doubtful if Senator Byrd would
consent to Identification with a coali-
tion party until after it was so strong
as to indicate great mass movement.
He cannot afford to leave the Demo-
cratic party, except upon assurance
that the coalition party would be per-
manent, or upon some extreme COM
pulsion upon his conscience. To iden-
tify himself with coalition would
take him out of the Democratic party,
and If the coalition should turn out
to be merely temporary he would be
out of public life; he could not hope
to be reelected to the Senate when
his term expires in 1910.
Similar conditions restrain Repub-
1ioans who are active party men.
Either the movement toward a new
party must be strong enough to prom
ise permanence, or any active Re-
publican leader identifying himself
with it would be committing political
suicide. This is especially true since
the coalition party would be obliged
to drop the name "Republican"-only
by doing that and finding new name,
such as American party" could the
coalition hope to carry the South.
