A attempt will be made for an economy and endurance record between here and Los Angeles. An escort of Chevrolet machines companied the record breaker In a rade down Main street and to the mayors office, where the engine was sea'ed. The parade then accompanied Mr. Ingres and his machine out of the city limits on his way. From Los Angeles to New York the car averaged 212 miles to the gallon of gas and 228 miles to the quart of oil. The drive took fourteen days, Mr, Ingres driving exactly 170 hours. The average eo far on the return trip has been 23 miles to the gallon of gas .and 09 5 miles to the quart of oil.

At the present time Germany cannot afford to buy gasoline because of the great depreciation pf her currency, and she possesses no oil wells. Consequently, the standard motor fuel in Germany now consists of two parts benzol, one part alcohol and one part tetralene. The latter, like benzol, Is a coal tar product. Speaking of benzol. It Is worth while digressing for a moment to explain that any motorist who is bothered with an engine which knocks due to too high compression may curs the trouble .by adding one part benzol to four parts gasoline. As long as this fuel combination Is used the knocking will disappear, unless the- - compression Is much too high, in which case more benzol will be required.' Conversely, -- if you suspect that your engine has a compression knock, changing to the benzol mixture will eliminate tha knock. Inasmuch as benzol also wtH cure a carbon knock, all carbon should be removed before testing for the compression knock. In an engine which fouls rapidly with carbon the removal of this accumulation need not be done as frequently as wl en pure gasoline is used. Aloohol may be obtained from almost any kind of vegetable matter, ineluding sawdust, stumps, cacti, corn, acorns, straw, beets, cornstalks and so forth. Alcohol is too expensive and the supply too small for it to ba considered as s supply available at the present moment. But the production will certainly Increase and the price will drop as the demand for it grows. According to the department of agriculture, the ordinary automobile engine can be operated on alcohol without material change, and its- operation le more nearly noiseless than when run on any other fuel; alcohol is engines; especially suited for the average engine will give 20 per cent Is more power if it specially adapted to run on this fuel and it will give 10 per cent more power without any change, although at the expense of a greater fuel consumption. With every farmer's strawstack a potential supply of alcohol, it is concetvabls that eventually each farmer will possess a small apparatus for converting his straw into denatured alcohol during the winter months when he is not very busy with farm routine. Recently designed equipment for this purpose consists of an oven four feet wide, ten feet long and six feet high, and a steel reservoir seven feet high and six feet in diameter. Its cost is not high nor is It difficult to than talcum and wlllbe blown In through & special carburetor. "Fifty centa' worth of gasoline will carry a car the same diz tance that $5 now carries tt. On the face of it, tt is not an ex tremely difficult problem to substitute powdered coal for gasoline and burn it in an automobile engine. Unquestionably It will be a problem me easily and satisfactorily solved as the problem of the modern carburetor. It may now be stated without much fear of contradiction that en automobile engine may be made to run on any kinda of fuel; eo long as It is combustible, way will be found to utilize It. Recently a famous French automobile manufac car, anturer, builder of the Peugeot run satisnounced en engine whioh will without on fuel any liquid factorily out run If you of adjustment change of gasoline In a frontier country miles fuel nearest from the and miles away station, it makes no difference, provided fromules-bur- g ht one-ha- lf record-breakin- op-rat- e. According to Roger Babson, economist "Several automobile and statistician, ars experimenting with manufacturers bituminous coal dust as a fuel for automobiles instead of gasoline, and the results already indicate that within a few years coal will be used as a motive power for automobiles. It will be ground to a powder finer you can find some combustible liquid. Draining some surplus oil from the crankcase might give you the needed supply, or you might barter or buy some oil from a native. Whether it is China sperm, oil or any wood oil, cottonseed-oi- l, of the several thousand available is a no of matter Importance to this new engine, which run on any and aH of them with equal facility. It Is a engine operating on a compression three or four times ae high as used ip the ordinary engine. The oil. instead In-of being vaporized in the carburetor, is jected directly Into the oonvbustlon chamber by a small pump, just when the pleton reaches top dead center. The oil, no matter how heavy, vaporizes Instantly since the pure air in the combustion chamber Is excessively hot because of Its high compression and also because the combustion chamber Is not water Jacketed, although the cylinder wall surrounding the piston la The air tn the combustion chamber is not only hot enough to flash tha oil Intoonvapor, but fire. This Is also hot enough to set it engine Is twics as economical as ordinaryeo engines because Its compression la high, making Its efficiency high. The usual automobile engine only operates on full compression when the throttle is wide open. When the throttle Is only partly open the compression may be very email,' perhaps ten or fifteen pounds. On the contrary, this new engine always operate at maximum compression, and this has a proportional effect on the efficiency and fuel consumption. The engine has no throttle, but, Instead, the amount of oil Injected by the fuel pump is varied according to the load on the engine. All of which prove that, while everyone will soon own an automobile, there need toe no alarm over the fuel supply. There are so many large fuel sources that there will always be JTuel. Harold F.
