HAlcohol versus Gasoline
Z for Automobiles
« By Professor Robert Kenne uncan.
c,% y bert K dy D %0
3 IL.COHOL is reproduced in the cycle of the seasons; it is ab
solutely inexhaustible; it is made out of sunshine and air,
and its composition does not lessen the value of the soil or
the energy of the earth, Gasoline, on the contrary, repre
sents a part of the stored energy of the earth; it exists
. only to the extent of about two percent in petroleum, and
its supply will in the future inevitably fail. To-day, the
supply of gasoline is so much less than the demand that it
practically cannot be obtained by many who would use it,
If all the gasoline-engines in America worked continuonsly for a day of ten
hours. they would consume some 4,000,000 gallons of gasoline! Then, indus
trial aleohol is practically constant in composition; gasoline, on the contrary,
is a mixture, and is generally badly adulterated. Again, alcohol is beyoni
all question safer and more cleanly to nse, Its safety lies in the fact that
it is not so readily inflammable, and that it dissolves in water: in the event
of fire, its dilution with water, even to its percent in whisky, will at once ex
tinguish it. Gasoline, on the other hand, is extraordinarily inflammable, and,
what is much worse, it floats on water; in a gasoline fire the more the water
Is used the more the fire spreads. This fact for alcohol is of extreme im
portance in the question of insurance and in its use for motor-boats. Still
again, with aleohol, the smell of the exhaust is almost imperceptible; at any
rate, gasoline, in this regpect, could not endure comparison. Another advan
tage for alcohol lies in the fact that eylinders and valves do not become plug
ged with residual products, as with gasoline, and that its combustion is clean
er and its ignition more perfect. Perhaps the greatest advantage possessed
by alcohol in a struggle with gasoline rests in the higher compressibility of
its vapor; the compression of aleohol vapor may gafely be carried to 200
pounds per square inch, while that of gasoline cannot endure more than 80
pounds without the danger of premature explosion. Next, it requires no
more skill to operate an aleohol-engine than a gasoline-engine. Finally, it
may be expected that aleohol can always be made in the locality of the de
mand; it will not require, like gasoline, trausportation through extensive dis
tances.
With proper manipulation, any engine working with gasoline or kerosene
can operate, unaltered, with alechol.
It can be operated with aleohol only at ahout twice the cost of gasoline,
This is shown in a recent test of fuel economy, in which three automobiles,
running on alcohol, a mixture of kerosene and gasoline, and gasoline, re
spectively, travelled from Trenton, New Jersey, to Atlantic City, 106.8 miles.
‘While the alcohol-engine ran perfectly at a rate of thiryt-five miles an hour,
it consumed 14 1-2 gallons of alechol, at 37 cents a gallon, constituting a total
cost of $5.36 1-2, as-against the performance of its rival, which consumed 7 1-2
gallons of gascline, at 22 cents, with a total eost of $1.65. The relation of
Jdhe two is best shown as the cost per ton mile, which for alecohol works out
to $0.0392, and for gasoline $0.01354, about half as much.—From Harper's
Magazine.

Dhy There Should Be %

In Trust Crusading 2
By President Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton,
Vi taef] fine M
Wik dedbid e PASSION for regulative legislation, seems to have taken po
. o ¢ sesslon of the country of late; but it came upon it so sud
'3 YA § denly, so.mueh mose.likamon. impulse of impatience than
- 4B like a deliberate purpose, that there is every indication
7 that the careful thinking upon which it should have been
. founded will succeed it after it has spent its force, rather
than accompany and give form and direction to it.
o m We have passed laws forbidding such combinations and
such practices as would virtually constitute monopolies and
have attempted to enforce them. We have forbidden discrimination in
freight rates by railway companies and have tried to detect and punish them.
‘We have gone further still and endeavored to prescribe passenger rates as
well, undertaking to look inside railway business and determine through
public commissions what rates it is equitable for them to charge,
Governmental control, which we are undertaking so extensively and
with so light a heart, sets up not a reign of law but a reign of discretion and
individual judgment on the part of governmental officials in the regulation
of the business of stock companies owned by innumerable private individuals
and supplying the chief investments of thousands of communities, I can see
no radical difference in principle between governmental ownership and gov
ernmental regulation of this discretionary kind. Regulation by commission
is not regulation by law, but control according to the discretion of govern
mental officials. Regulation by law is judicial, by fixed and definite rule,
whereas regulation by commission ig an affair of business sense, of the com
prehension and thorough understanding of complex and various bodies of
business, There is no logical stopping place between that and the actual
conduct of business enterprises by the government,
Such methods of regulation, it may be safely predicted, will sooner or
later be completely diseredited by experience. Commissions in the future
as in the past will reflect rather public opinion than business discretion. The
only safe process, the only American process, the only effective process, is
the regulation of transactions by the definite prohibitions of law, item by
itgm, as experience discloses their character and thelr effects, and the pun
ishment of the particular individuals who engage in them,
The acts of corporations themselves must be checked not by futile ana
blundering attempts to dictate to each corporation how its business shall he
conducted, but by bringing the officials diréetly to book who are responsihle
for forbidden or questionable transactions. The corporation itself never fails
to find the really responsible official in its own processes of discipline, and
it can be made to discloge to the public prosecutor the names of the men
who should be proceeded against.

§ By Alice Louise Lee, :115
SRACHAOKHOEMORRSR.
Of course it was a careless tlfing!
for Brown and Hammond to do—talk i
over their husincss affairs in a pub
lic place-——hut there were a few dq-l
tails to arrange concerning the,puv-’
chase of the South Bluif before .Ha.m-l
mond took the exprezs to New Yok
“If any one should have overheas
us,” he began, as the whistle of the’
express sounded far down the valley, |
“it might cost us pretty dear.” He |
glanced nervously round the dark eng
of the station platform, wiich was '
covered with boxes, ' Y!‘
Brown rose {rom a seat on a bos.
“No danger,” he returned, abstracted- |
ly. “Coast's clear; nothing here-but |
freight,” motioning at the same tinre !
toward the lighted end of the pg{.-‘
form. “The ears are all up there.” ' |
Hammond picked up his suit case
with a brief nod. “A pair of pod
ears just now might easily ruinipir
plans. Once let those North E; ’
fellows get hold of the fact that ‘el
are after the South Bluff, and they'd‘
wake up to its value in a hurry—""% |
“And with more money than we
can muster,” added Prown. . ¢
The two walked slowly toward the
upper end of the platform, Hammond
returning again to the matter they
had been digcussing. a
“Well, I'll be back in a few days
with the deed—if nothing happens.
In the meantime I'll keep my exgs
open for a manager. It's hard to'get
a good manager—harder than capifgl
and quarry-—a man who’ll keep his
mouth shut, his eyes open, and ag
tend to business—" L
His speech was interrupted by
Browp. Brown glanced over his
shoulder, smothered an exclamation,
and grasped the other's arm. “Lb?&
there!” he commanded. Hammond
saw and understood. g OGS
A figure emerged from behfiifl
pile of boxes just back of the spot
where they had been discusing busi
ness scerets, a small, girlish figure,
which hastened past them and into
the light just as the train drew into
the station. ;
“It’'s Tupper's girl!” exelaimed
Brown. “Anne Tupper! I've heard
my wife speak of her often.” !
“Do you suppose she heard,” de-!
manded Hammond, blankly, “or has
¢ne just come on the platform?”
Brown gave a low, perplexed
whistle, but not a direct reply. -“And
Tupper owns a lot of real estate here
—most of it on the north side. This
business will play right into his hands
—and into theirs!” e
By the last pronoun Brown re
ferred to the owners of the Nerth
End querry.. 080 bl
we were to talk—" he hegan. [/ |
“All aboard!” shouted the braka
man beside the first car. |
Hammond spoke rapidly: ™“l've;
got to go on this train—l leave this
Anne What’s-her-name in your hands.
1f she heard, she must be silenced—
her father—maybe money—" i
“All aboard!” shoujed the last
brakeman, and the vestibule doors be—!
gan to slam.
“Wire me results!” called Ham
mond from the rear platform, as the
train moved out, leaving a perplexed
and anxious partner.
Brown liook off his hat andi
smoothed back his hair, not heeding
a cloud of dust which the depairting
train threw into his face. His eyes
followed a tall, stoop-shouldered man
whom the express had brought in,
and a girl, the top of whose head
barely reached her father's shoulder.
“Well, Hammond's left me with a
wors2 job than buying quarries,” was
his conclusion. “When a girl knows
a thing, every one-else hears it. Now
if I should go to her and offer her
money to keep still— Huh!” :He
put his hat on with a jerk. “That's
all Hammond knows. In the first
place it wouldn't do at all, and in the
second place it would be only one
more thing for her to tell. The only
chance we have is that she didn’t
hear.” :
He walked away slowly. If Anne
had been behind those freight boxes
she would have heard—what?
He-went over the conversation care
fully and ruefully. That they, Ham
mond and Brown, almost had their
haunds on the South Bluff—almost but
not quite, with the owners of the
North Bluff quarries just awakening
to the fact that South Bluff was the
move valuable piece of quarry prop
erty. Once an intimation reached
them of Brown and Hammond’s
move-—— R 1
“Well, with their capital it would
be all up with us!” groaned Brown.
“Fools that we were to talk it out
on the platform-—but she couldn't
have heard, surely,” X
He passed the pretty vine-clad
hotel where he had been .taying all
summer with his wife. The little
town had started in the centre ot
the valley beside the Susquehanna,
but the North Bluff quarry had drawn
-the business part north, making the
land more valuable on that side——and
here Arne's father dealt largely in
real estate. On the opposite sida of
the valley rose South Bluff, to which
a Government geologist had recently
called atteniion, with the assurance
that its underlying strata were but
continuations of those being quarriea
across the valley—a valley whieh the
Susquehanna had worn through
countless ages. If the South Bluft
were purchased and developed accord
ing to Hammond and Brown's pro
gram, it would meau that land values
would rise south of the town and de
preciate on the north.
“Which, of vcourse,” reflected
Brown, “Tupper will not enjoy. It's
certainly to his interest that Anne
heard and tells; it will give him a
chance to sell his lots while he can
meke something on them. But did
the girl hear?”
The following morning, at the
hreakfast table, hiding his anxiety be
!hind a newspaper, he questioned his
wife concerning Anne.
' “What kind of a girl is Anne Tup
lper’.’" repeated Mrs, Brown, enthusi
astically. “Well, she's the dearest
girl! Every one knows Anne, and
every one talks io Anne— What?”
. 'But her husband had said nothing.
He had merely groaned. Hastily he
turned the groan into a cough, and
added, “Consequently, then, Anne
talks to everybody.” y
Mrs. Brown hesitated. “Why-ee—
ves, and no. " Anne is a quiet sort of
girl, but what sie says counts.”
“1f she heard,” he dascided, “the
news will spread like wild-fire.”
He came on a group of men in
front of the postofiice, hobnobbing
with their heads together. “There it
is!” was his nervous thought. lie
stopped abruptly and listened: :
“ "Twas the biggest fish ever taken
out of the Susquehanna,” fell on his
relieved ears.
“0 nonsense, Stopper! I got one
last October that weighed—"
That evening he telegraphed to
Hammond in cipher: “Signs indicate
that she did not hear. Not sure, how
ever.”
The following day, still apprehen
sive, he mixed with the townspeople,
alert and listening, and that night
sent a stronger telegram to New
York: “Am satisfied she did not
hear.”
But the third day this satisfaction
was turned into uncertainty and
alarm by a simple remark from an
old woman, known by every one asg
“Aunt Ruth.” She had recently re
ceived some long-deferred pension
money, She was waiting on the side
walk for Anne, and Mr. Brown was
just behind her.
“I've invested half my pension
money,” Aunt Ruth announced, as
Anne came within hearing. *“Did it
this morning.” :
“Oh, did you, aunty?” responded
Anne, brightly.. “How?”
“In a lot at the south end,” she
responded, eagerly. *“I tried to. get
one of your pa up at the north end,
but he told me to get a south end
one. He said ’twould come much
cheaper now, and mebby—"?
Here Aunt Rutb, howing crisply to
Mr. Brown, walied until he had
passed. Anne also, glancing up,
bowed, and flushed uneasily.
“She looks guilty,” thought Brown,
walking on, “but I can’t understand
Tupper’'s advice, 1f he knew, he'd
certainly try to sell off his north end
lots instead of advising people to buy
at the south end,” and his perplexity
increased. , GBI G g T
last telegram: “Hurry the purchase.
Am afraid it's kdown.” The owner
of the South Bluff, with whom Ham
mond was closing the deal, lived in
New York.
But at the end of the third day
suspense gave way to relief, for
whether Anne had heard or not, the
South Bluff was in the possession of
Hammond and Brown. Hammond
brought the deed from the city.
“Well,” said Brown, the following
morning, as the two sat on the hotel
porch, “I don't care to repeat the
anxiety of the last week. 1 wonder if
Anne—"
Mr. Tupper came up the porch steps
with Dr. Close.
“We've just heard of your pur
chase,” said Dr. Close, shaking hands
in a congratulatory way.
“Have you just heard of it?” de
manded Brown, rising and confront
ing Mr. Tupper impulsively. *Your
girl has given us a great scare. We
didn’t know but that she overheard
us talking down at the station Mon
day night—"
Mr. Tupper nodded. “She did over
hear.”
Hammond pushed forward, laugh
ing. “Do you mean to say that she .
didn’t tell a few other girls under
promise never to tell?”
Mr. Tupper smiled and shook his
head.
- “Do you mean to say that she
didn't tell yon?” demanded Brown,
‘soberly. He had had too much anx
ety to feel in a laughing mood.
Mr. Tupper hesitated. “Yes,” he
‘admitted, “Anne told me, but only
when old Aunt Ruth was determined
to invest in a north end lot. She has
§0 little to invest that Anne could not
be silent and see her invest in prop
erty likely to depreciate in value—
nor could I,” he ended, adding,
*Anne, of course, told no one else.”
Dr, Close clapped Mr. Tupper on
the shoulder. “Anne's as near like
‘her father as two people can be!” he
laughed. “Ha! ha! Glad to know
of a girl that's got so much honor
‘about keeping a secret. Good for
| Anne!”
- Hammond and Brown sat in silence,
watching the two go down the street.
Suddenly Hammond smote Brown's
knee. “There's our manager!” he
announced, excitedly.
Brown looked dazed. “Who?
Thought you said you hadn't found
one.”
- "Well, I have, and so have you.
Just like Anne, is he? Well, that's
«. fine recommendation, to begin with,
and that transaction with Aunt Some
‘body—" Hammond stood up. *“He's
the man to make things go straight
for us when we're not around. I
| vote for Tupper.”
“Sa do I!” concurred Brown, heart
ily; and Anne's father became man
ager of the prosperous South Biluft
1 Quarry.—Youth's Companion.

this manner the heating surface is
brought nearer to the fire, and all
smoke, vapors and odors are carried
up the chimney. The griddle is open
at the top, but for the purposes of
broiling it is desirable that a greater
heat should be secured, and this is
brought about by making a lid over
the top. When the latter is lowered
the meat being cooked gets the full
benefit of the heat, but when it is
raised every opportunity is offered for

DESIGNS FOR CHILDREN'S FANCY DRESSES,
Genuine Indifference.
Jack Abertheney, the Rough Rider,
can catch a wolf alive by grabbing its
lower jaw with his bare hands.
Mr. Abertheney, on his last visit
here, was asked by a reporter for his
opinion on a certain political ques
tion. :
“I can’t give you an opinion on that
question,” the Rough Rider raplied,
“because it’s a question I pay no at
tention to. I am indifferent to #t—
as indifferent as the backwoodsm#'s
wife.
“That lady, you know, looked on
while her husband had a fierce hand
to-hand tussle with a bear, and after
ward she said it was ‘the only fight
she ever saw where she didn't care
who won.” "—Washington Star.
