ward Burke, general manager, ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the meeting, not only from a fin
ancial standpoint, but also from
the racing angle. The weather. al

ST Petersburg points out that the tourist business

released:

NEW SUBSTITUTE
FOR MOTOR FUEL
INV AssocIated Pressl

NEW YORK, Oct. l5.-Several
factories are going up in Europe
to make synthene, the newest of
the substitutes for gasoline as a
motorfuel. The substitutes are
being used increasingly in coun-
tries that lack the bounteous pc
troleum supplies of the United
States.
The new fuel comes first from
water gas. If this gas is allowed
to flow over hot alkalai and iron,
at nearly 900 degrees Fahrenheit
and under great pressure. it forms
an oily liquid. The pressure is $50
atmospheres, or more than 1000
pounds to the square inch.
The oil is called synthol. When
this oil is boiled under the right
pressure some of its molecules
crack. They break down into
the hydrocarbons which form ex-
plosive motor fuels.
These new gases are called syn
theme. When the process was dis
covered about IS years ago, syn
theme contained too much oxy-
gen. This is now cleaned out of
the gas by adding hydrogen from
catalysts.
Europeans hope that the new
fuel will not cost so much as
sgasolines made from cheap grades
of coal. which have been on the
market for years. In England
the government promotes manu-
facture of this coallgasoline as an
economic and defense measure.

ANOTHER PROJECT WORTH PUSHING

Key Westers almost daily are being
confronted with demands on their time and
effort in behalf of some project vitality
needed to complete the rehabilitation of
the burden in reaching out for important
improvements and developments should
fall upon relatively few far-sighted, pub
spirited and unselfish citizens. 1t just
seems to be human nature for the majority
to do nothing except criticise the mistakes
of the working minority.
However, that minority is plugging
along the best it can and is now planning
to do something about extension of the
mtra-coastal waterway from Bahia Honda
to Key West. Notices received by The
Citizen yesterday announce the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Association will meet
in Washington, d. c., Nov. 1918 for its
31st annual convention. 1t is interesting
and disappointing to note the official an
nouncements of the convention stress that
the intra-coastal waterway is complete ex-
'cept for what is termed missing link
lacross the state of New Jersey. 49,
What about the application of the
Key West Chamber of Commerce and other
organizations for a deeper4inside channel
over the 40-mile stretch from Bahia Honda
to this city? The association cannot right
fully claim the coastal waterway is COM
plete unless it is extended all the way to
Key West At present the channel is no
deeper than two feet in some stretches, at
low water periods between this city and
Bahia Honda, so that yachtsmen and deep
laden fishing boats must use Hawk Chan
mel outside, where the water is sometimes
pretty rough.
The Key West application is at pres
ent awaiting approval of the U. S. Board
of Engineers. The Chamber of Commerce
and other civic groups should make i'm
mediate inquiry to determine when the ap-
plication will be given final consideration
in order that the matter may be laid be-
fore the convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association. Florida officers
of the association are H. III. Buchanan, vice
president, W. F. Coachman, Jr., director
at-large, E. G. Sewell, vice presidential
large and c. Patterson, director E. G..
Sewell is former mayor of Miami and
might be induced to interest himself in the
Bahia Honda-Key West project
Importance of making it easy and safe
for yachtsmen to reach Key West cannot
be over-emphasized. We have fine harbor
facilities, the finest fishing grounds in the
world and excellent equipment, stores and
shops for servicing yachts of all sizes. I'm
provement of the inside waterway to Key
West will benefit everyone and every COM
mercial interest.
