Association Votes Thanks
To. Transit Company for
Increase in Service

Members of the Conduit Road
Citizens Association added their
support to other associations last
night by voting to send letters of
protest against the proposed re-
moval of Health Officer George G.
Ruhland to the District Commits
sioners, the House District Commit
tee and the Senate District Com
mittee.
In presenting the motion. Edward
P. Cochrane stated that DR.. Ruiz
land had served the District admir-
ably since he had taken Office and
that the District was receiving ade-
quate health protection for the first
time.
Climaxing long fight to secure
more frequent service on the Cabin
John streetcar line and the speed
ing up of bus service, Grady P.
Oakley, president of the association,
announced that the Capital Transit
co. had advanced the streetcar and
bus service to 20-minute schedule.
Mr.. Oakley stated that the service
would be interlocking, with street.
cars leaving their bases at one min
ute after the hour and buses at II
minutes. The improvement of time
makes quicker service for residents
of Foxhall Village, Conduit road and
Georgetown.
Letter of Thanks Authorized.
Capt. Ellis R. King moved that
letter of appreciation be sent to the
company and the association agreed.
The Conduit Road group, which
met in the Palisades Fieldhouse, also
approved Capt. Kings motion that
a special committee be appointed to
investigate the possibility of having
a branch post Office established in
the old st. David's Church, owned
by the National Capital Parks. Capt.
King likewise suggested that the
public library for Conduit road
should be moved into the branch,
if established, so that there will be
a permanent home for it. He ex-
pressed the fear that should Fort
drive be completed, it would elimi-
nate the library and make it more
difficult for the association to secure
a new one for the area.
A motion introduced by Mrs.
James w. Roberts suggesting that
committee be appointed to study the
possibility of having a moving pic
ture theater in the Conduit road
area was approved and Mr.. Oakley
appointed Capt. King, Walter
Cunyus and Charles E. Rich.
A proposal that letter of COM
mendation be sent to the fire chief
of the District praising Fireman
James A. Cox for plunging into the
icy waters of the canal recently to
save youths life was approved.
Mr.. Cox is connected with Fire Sta
ton No. 20, which serves the Con-
duit road territory.
Oppose Gas Tax Increase.
After discussion, a motion by
Capt. King that the association 60
on record as opposing the Jennings
Randolph bill increasing the gaso-
line tax was approved.
Following complaints from many

housewives present the Secretary of
the association was directed to write
letter to the Refuse Department of
the District complaining of poor
collection of trash and garbage and
the scattering of trash through
alleys.
Criticism of the District for the
poor clearance of the streets in the
Conduit road area following the 9h-
inch snowstorm Tuesday night
brought an approved motion from
Capt. King that complaint be reg
istered with the District Commits
sioners and that request for better
service should also be submitted.
A further motion by Capt. King
called for a letter of appreciation
and congratulation to Melvin c.

more expensive source than sugar

Both oil and coal are trapped
sunshine" The energy of the sun
is caught by green leaves which use
1t to transform the carbon from the
carbon dioxide in the air and the
hydrogen from the water absorbed
by the roots into carbohydrates.
The furnaces and automobiles of to-
day are running on the Sunpower
OF 25o,00o,OOO years ago.
Trapped" Sunshine Limited.
1t appears to biologists that coal
and oil-although there is some dis
pute in regard to the latter-were
formed only once in the earth s
history at moment when conditions
were ideal. If this is true only a
few thousand years of trapped SUM-
shine" are available to serve man for
the entire duration of the world. 1t
has been used recklessly.
With the processes he has de-
veloped, DR.. Berl said, man can make
this years coal and oil out of this
years trapped sunshine" and the
process can go on forever. Two of
the most efficient sunshine trap
pers' are sugar cane and cotton,
which happen to be two crops which
afford the greatest present economic
problems.
The process, it was revealed, in
wolves the heating of the carbo-
hydrate materials under pressure
with limestone and similar sub
stances. The resulting Goals, asphalts
and oils have exactly the same
properties as their counterparts In
nature.
The laboratory produced carbo-
hydrate Goals will yield either sandy
coke or the hard coke which is
extremely important for the steel
industry.
Gift of Nature Only Once.
Goals and oil shales," DR.. Berl
declared, have been put at our dis
posal by nature only once. AS soon
as we have used this material it is
gone. With carbohydrates this is
different. Nature produces them
anew every year with the greatest
ease.
Liquid fuel can be produced from
coal by the hydrogenation. process
(this is the process now used in Ger
many for obtaining synthetic gaso-
line) with very costly high pressure
apparatus which under present con-
ditions would not allow competition
with the present low prices of natu-
raj oil. The production of oil from
oil shales will allow the production
of oils cheaper than by the hydro
genation of coal"
Molasses, he stressed, seems to be
an ideal starting point for gasoline
synthesis. The present material for
the oil now in the ground passed at
one time through a stage not great
ly different from molasses, which,
said Mr.. Berl, might be considered a
distant ancestral relative of the as
phalt from which, he believes, oil is
produced.

methods he and his associates have
developed assure plentiful supplies
Of fuel when all the present coal
and oil resources of the earth have
been exhausted, which the most
optimistic prophets predict will be
only a few centuries hence.
Use for Surplus Crops.
While gasoline can be made of
anything composed of cellulose, like
DR.. Berl's handkerchief, the con-
version of molasses is by far the
simplest and cheapest process.
Even in competition with present.
day oil wells, he said, it might be
economically feasible in countries
like Cuba and Puerto Rico. where
sugar cane grows luxuriously and
the price of sugar is so low that
surplus crops are a serious problem.
Several oil company chemists here
questioned the present economic
feasibility of the method, but ad-
mitted that DR.. Berl probably could

I'm fact" said one of them. I'VE
made some very good gasoline our
selves few days ago. We started
out with couple of dead cats and
some rotten tomatoes. But 1t was
rather expensive gasoline when we
finished"
The triumph described today fol-
lows lifetime of study of coal and
Oil structure by DR.. Berl in the
United State and his native Austria.
He developed the theory that cur
rent ideas OF how coal and oil were
formed by heat and pressure over
many millions of years were wrong
and that actually they may have
been formed very quickly at crucial
times in the earth's history.
Origin of Coal and Oil.
Coal, it is universally admitted,
was formed from vast swamp forests
which covered much of the tenn
perate zone of the earth approxi-
mately 250,000,000 years ago. These
forests fell into the swamp muds
and IN the course of centuries were
subjected to enormous heats and
pressures which transformed them
into the great coal beds of today.
The origin of oil has been much
disputed. Some geologists hold it Is
formed from the bodies of marine
organisms subjected to much the
same processes undergone by the
wood to form coal 1t is usually
found in areas once covered by the
sea. DR.. Berl maintains that it has
evolved from sea plant life, such as
sea weeds and algae. He has used
both of these in making oil by his
telescoped process, but they are a

Cause, SAYS Mile. Curie

The women Of France are striv-
ing to keep the republic on an even
keel by enlisting in professions,
business and industry, depleted by
the mobilization of nearly 100000
men, Mile. Eve Curie, daughter Of
the famous discoverer Of radium,
last night told more than 1000 per-
sons at Constitution Hall.
Mile. Curie said that when she
left France early last month popu-
lar opinion seemed to be that there
was no need of help from the United
States. She said the French appre-
ciate the sympathy of the United
States, adding that the French
Army has planned to demobilize
some small units so that the men
can return to jobs where they are
most needed.
Paris seems little changed except
for the blackout, Mile. Curie said.

Dental Journal Urqes
Tooth Insurance.
For Children
Colifornion's Experiment
Cited in Plan for
Contract Payments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. ga proposal
that dentists provide tooth insur-
ance" to help prevent dental decay
In children was advocated yesterday
in the Journal Of the American
Dental Association.
The insurance plan, involving
periodic payments previously agreed
on, is used by only a few dentists,
but the profession is giving more
consideration than ever before" to
this method, dental authorities said.
The Journal published new study
by DR.. Charles A. Sweet, Oakland
(Calif) dentist, who concluded that
"teeth are insurable against damage
and loss If we have sufilcient sta
tistical data to set up a law Of
averages"
DR.. Sweet, one of the first to try
contract dentistry, kept records of
ITO child patients for 20 years and
found that the average time per year
for dental services was 2A hours, or
total of 55 hours.
He determined it takes 20 hours
to care for a child's mouth from the
age OF to IL years and that the
adolescent period from IL to % re.
quires IS hours of dental services
If the person has had good care in
the first period.
The Journal commented editorial
ly that DR.. Sweets survey was
most convincing example of the
assurance with which the amount
OF attention in future years can be
predicted" and termed the insurance
proposal "a practical application OF
the principles of prevention"
