So various and far-reaching, It "Is expected, will be the results of the cheapening of alcohol used In the arts and manufactures by the new law re moving the Internal revenue tax upon It that no one man can be found who cares to estimate or guess at the total effect or to enumerate all' the lines of manufacture which will be quickened by It. _ The law, which provides that there shall be no tax on such alcohol when It. Is “denaturized," or mixed with' a sufficient quantity of other sub stances to render it unfit for drinking or for medicinal- purposes, will go into effect next January, and already the commercial world Is taking note of the immense changes which will follow and getting ready to meet them. All experts agree that It is the most far-reaching legislation enacted in many years. The alcohol affected by the law, technically known as ethyl alcohol, ac cording to the Philadelphia Record, now costs about $2.50 a gallon, of which $2.08 is the tax upon it. It is available for producing heat and light in all sorts of ways, for var nishes and solvents and for opera tions in many trades, but because of its great cost It has .been excluded from these uses In this country, and other things, such as gasoline for some purposes ui\d wood alcohol for others, have been substituted for it. None of the substitutes are as good or perform the desired function so well. Price to Take -Big Drop. Gasoline is rapidly rising in price because of the dwindling supply, while wood alcohol is poisonous, even to breathe; injurious to the eyes, skin and general health of those who work with it, and in many other ways ob jectionable. Ethyl alcohol may be made of grain, potatoes, cornstalks, or, Indeed, any vegetable rich: in starch, and, though the cost of manu facture, exclusive! of the tax,' is how about 40 to 50 cents a gallon, it will Boon be much reduced because of the large market which the removal of the tax will open. Much refuse and farm produce which now goes to waste or is allowed to rot can be manufactured into alcohol when the demand makes it profitable. Wood alcohol now costs about 70 cents per gallon, but even if the ethyl alcohol should cost that much it would still supplant wood alcohol because of Its superiority. Ethyl alcohol now costs, In Cuba, where there Is no tax, ten centB a gallon, and experts expect that the price in this country will soon drop to that figure, or near It. While wood alcohol Is now used in many manufactures where ethyl al cohol would be better, there are some operations where the use of the lat ter is Imperative, despite its cost, so that the cheapening of It will result In a better quality in some manufac tured articles and a lessened cost In others. Among a large list of manu factures in which there will enter the free alcohol, as given by M. N. Kline, of Philadelphia, at a hearing before the Committee ‘on Ways and Means of the National House of Representa tives when the bill removing the tax was under consideration are: Aniline colors and dyes, hats (stiff, silk .and straw), electrical apparatus, trans parent soap, furniture, picture mold ings, burial caskets, cabinet work, passenger cars, pianos, organs, whips, toys, rattan goods, lead pencils, brushes, wagons, boots and shoes, smokeless powder, fulminate of mer cury, brass beds, incandescent man tles, photographic materials,, cellu loid, sulphuric ether and organlcal chemicals. In all these there!have been used heretofore wood alcohol at about 70 cents a gallon, or ethyl alco hol at a much greater cost, and now the ethyl alcohdl will lie used at from 12 to 15 cents a gallon. Will Affect Heat and Light. As an example of what the change will mean, the manufacture of hats is a good illustration. Alcohol used for the shellao needed in felt hats, about half a gallon being the average used for each dozen of hard or stiff hats. This,, if wood alcohol, costs 35 cents, while the free alcohol will cost not over 8 cents. If ethyl alcohol, at its present price, be used, the difference, is cost will exceed $1 per dozen. Many other examples even more striking could be dted, but where the difference resulting from the removal of the 'tax will be most noticeable to the individual consumer will be in the housewife who does her own Interior deooratlng and renovating will never know, perhaps, that the lessened cost paint and varnish stain-removers due to the removal of this tax; nor will she realize that the Increased safety of these materials and the diminished, danger of fire or of Injury to health are due to the same cause, but when she comes to buy alcohol Instead of gasoline for her lamps and stoves she will then have placed be fore her, in a practical way, one of the striking effects of the new law. Alcohol lamps for lighting purposes- have been in. use in Europe with great success, and may now be used here (after' next January) at a cost no greater than that of kerosene, but with much better results. This lamp has no wick. The alcohol, heated to taper after coming from the lamp, rises to a mantle; whore It burns, producing a white heat. It is lighted by a match like any wick lamp, and in thirty seconds is giving its full Il lumination. In a test recently made in this country one gallon of alcohol burned 68 hours and 52 minutes, giv ing light of 25 candle-power, while gallon of kerosene burned 87 hours, giving a light of nine candle- power. For the sdme amount of light the alcohol lasted nearly twice as long thC kerosene; the candle-power houra baing. 1471 and 788 respectively. In Belgium alcohol at 31 cents a gal lon is cheaper for lighting than kero sene, which sells at 15 cents. All that is needed, it appears, to use alcohol In this way is an alcohol burner. Tills costs about $1 at present and is Inter changeable with any ordinary kero sene burner. The use of alcohol does away with all the smell and dirt so ob jectionable to kerosene. Must Change Stoves and Motors. Alcohol is equally good for heating as lighting, and this opens the way. for, many changes In cooking stoves and In small motors. Germany and other European countries have had free and cheap alcohol for some time, and the alcohol motor is not an ex periment. Leonard B. Goebels, of Philadelphia, an expert in all that per fains to motors driven by the explo sion of gas, went to Germany recently investigate this new fuel and brought back a very favorable report. It is conceded that for small motors up to 75 horse-power in which gaso line is now used in this country alco hol is much superior. It contains less number of heat units, but haB a greater heat, efficiency, while its range of explosibjlity is about double that of gasoline. It Is also more homogen eous and can De used to the last drop, not leaving much, if any, residue and npne of the sooty deposit which clogs the sparker in a gasoline engine and makes the cleaning of such a machine a dirty and laborious job. In a num ber of shop tests made by Mr. Goebels an average of 20 per cent, more power was gotten from using alcohol than from using gasoline in the same-sized engine. Even if the cost of alcohol exceeded gasoline the cleanliness and safety of it would still make it desirable. Think of an automobile without an odor! Alcohol, when it catches on fire, may be put out with water, but not a gasoline fire. Exhaustive tests have shown that whereas gasoline, at an ordinary temperature, gives off a vapor which, when mixed with air, is highly explosive and the cause of frequent dangerous accidents, no such vapor comes from alcohol until it is heated above the ordinary tempera ture Alcohol has been used, and with good results, In engines constructed for gasoline, but to get the best re sults a special construction is needed. This, however, differs but slightly from the ordinary gasoline engine. The carburetter and spraying device would have to be modified, and- the compression would have to be in. creased. These alterations are such that they can be made In a gasoline engine at a slight expense. Ordinar ily, an alcohol engine can be manu factured and sold at the same price as a gasoline .engine of similar power. It might be sftpposed that this cheap denaturlzed alcohol will ontire ly drive out the wood alcohol Indus try, but the latter is the principal sub stance used in denaturizing, and ex perts are unanimous in declaring that so much wood alcohol will be thus used that the demand for it will in Pay of Lawmakers.
