Denatured Product Has Great Ad
vantage, Declares Speaker.
Natural Cleansing Agent.
KANSAS CITY. MO., Aug, 80.—
That tax-free ethyl alcohol, manufac
tured under the United States Gov
ernment laws, known commercially
sg denatured alcohol, was the most
natural material for the removal of
carbon and the cleansing of gasoline
••nginea was well demonstrated in a
lecture oy Professor A. Anglada, of
New York, In the Convention Hall at
Kansas City before delegates in at
tendance at the National Gas Power
Show.
Professor Anglada Is chairman of
the metropolitan section of the Socie
ty of Automobile Engineers and an
expert In the manufacture and op
eration of gas engines.
Natural Carbon Remover.
He treated the subject of denatured
alcohol as a natural carbon remover
and cleanser of all types of gasoline
engines, and his talk was of especial
interest because he had experimented
twelve months.
Professor Anglada told In detail
the causes of carbon formation In
engine cylinders and the disadvan
tages resulting therefrom. The fea
ture which seemed to impress the
convention was the extreme eas# with
which an engine could be treated with
denatured alcohol, as well as the ab
solute harmlessness and safety of the
product.
In connection with his paper, Pro
fessor Anglada brought out the fart
that the ordinary gasoline farm en
gine can be run without change on
denatured alcohol by simply starting
it on gasoline, shutting off the gaso-
Mne and introducing denatured alco
hol into the inlet pipe.
A series of experiments conducted
in the presence of the secretary of
the association had proven that de
natured alcohol, when t*”is intro
duced. served as a scavenger of trou
blesome deposits and loosened and
drove them out with the exhaust
gases.
Mea, a German Product, Sets
New Efficiency Standard—A.
Busch Main Stockholder.
Europe and America are watching
a new magneto which Is gaining fame
abroad. The latest success of this
magneto, which is called the Mea, was
made in a race across the hills in
Uraiganlet, Ireland, a few weeks ago,
when it was awarded two first prizes.
These magnetos were carried in this
race on a Gregoire and a Nom rootor
car. • and though the test was ex
traordinary, the magnetos responded
to the unusual demands with perfect
scores.
French Racs Won.
Another triumph for the Mea came
in the Grand Prtx de l'A. C. F., at
the races at Dieppe, France, consid
ered the most Important of all for
eign motor car events. This race was
won by a Peugeot car fitted with the
Mea.
The car winning second prlxe In
this race also carried a Mea. This
achievement is ail the more remark
able because of the f-> t that the races
in both places were controlled by
competitive products, and the mag
netos were all selected frofn stock and
the- awards were made on the basis
of merit.
The winning cars carried only one
magneto each, so the entire fortune of
each entry depended on the Mea mag
neto, while all competing makes car
ried an extra or reserve magneto on
each racing car to guard against fail
ure.
The Mea magneto has made nu
merous records, which have gained It
great popularity, and it -is said the
apparatus will be strongly in evidence
in America in the year 1914.
The Mea is manufactured in Stutt
gart, Germany, and Americans will be
interested in knowing that Adolphus
Busch, of St. Louis, is the principal
stockholder. Marburg Bros., Inc., No.
1790 Broadway, New York, are gen
eral agents for the United States and

Two States Will Shake Hands
When Automobile Reaches Line
National roads legislation will be a
topic second to none discussed at th3
American Road Congress to be held
in Detroit, Mich., during the week
beginning September 29, and many
Georgians are expected to attend
This subject is one which has great-
i- concerned the A. A. A. National
Good Roads Board, and hence it is
logical that the national legislati »i
session should be under the au«plc?s
of the American Automobile Associa
tion, which co-operates with the
American Highway Association in
this most important of good roads
gatherings.
The American Highway Association
includes in its membership the gen
eral good roads associations in all
parts of the country, while the Amer
ican Automobile Association contains
some GOO State and local motor club*,
though both the A. H. A. and the
A. A. A. also include thousands of In
dividual membecs. Since ths Na
tional Association if Road Materials
and Machinery Manufac 4 ire;s con
ducts Us annual exhibition as a part
of the American Read Congress, the
country-wide importance of the gath
ering places It in advance of all high
way conventions.
Big Men Expected.
“National Roads Legislation Day.”
which will be held on Tuesday, will
have speakers of national repute and
men who have given much time uni
thought to this phase of the subject.
Three members of the Joint commit
tee of Congress on Federal Aid have
already been invited, and since thesi
three have put forward definite prop
ositions concerning national roads
legislation, their addresse are certain

Claude Swanson, of Virginia, are the
three Joint committee members who
have definite plans to present. Sineo
Representative Shackleford is the
chairman of the new Committee on
Public Roads of the House of Repre
sentatives, it is expected that he will
propose som«thing new, since lie his
recently made a statement which
would Indicate that further thought
has presented advanced phases to
him.
Grange Speaker Wanted.
“Road Users’ Day” will also be un
der the auspices of the American
Automobile Association, for its mem
bership represents the most insistent
class of road users in the entire coun
try. Thursday is the day of the \ve*»k
for the road users, and the program
which Chairman George C. Diehl is
preparing promises to be an unusual
ly attractive one.
Since the man in the country is the
road user who commands the great
est consideration, the usual invitation
will be sent to the National Grange "o
supply one of its most forceful bilk
ers. Not only is the grange interested
in county and State roa Is. but it bus
also given its influence to the nation
al movement, contending that there .s
now a heed for national. State, coun
ty and township roads in this multi
plying use of the highways of the
country.
ASHEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 30.—Good

Alabama Governor’s Suggestion
Indorsed by Good Roads Advocate
“The designation each year of one
or two days for the purpose of ap
propriating money for labor to thi
cause of good roads,” says F. A. Sel-
berling, president of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Co., “is a fitting sug
gestion, which, If carried out, will aid
materially in promoting the good
roads movement.
“Governor O’Neal, of Alabama, cer
tainly hit the nail on the head when
he Included this in a recent procla
mation. If every State would take
this step, and Its citizens would con
tribute enthusiastically and liberally,
splendid results would be achieved.
A large per cent of zest would be
added to the public's present attitude,
if they would only realize the bene
ficial results that would be derived
from concerted action.
"Not only should the farmer be
interested in such a move, for the
benefit the results would afford him
in transporting his products to mar
ket, but also the suburbanite who
commutes every day by automobile
or motorcycle between the city and
his home.
“Good roads are a valuable asset
In maintaining automobiles, and are
a large factor in reducing the expense
of upkeep to a minimum. Tires es
pecially are subject to Improper road
conditions which have a severe and
detrimental effect upon them.
"When this suggestion of Gover
nor O’Neal’s is recognized and seized
by each State, “Good Roads Day” will
ultimately result In being observed
as a holiday of note. Each citizen
of every state wili no doubt willingly
contribute to the cause.”
GEO. DIEHL ISSUES CALL

MATAMOROS, MEXICO. Aug 30-
General Lucio Blanco, commanding the
constitutionalist forces in Mexico, un
doubtedly owes his life to the effective
ness of his tires to withstand the bul
lets from the Federal sharpshooters.
Through Hying bullets General Blan
co drove his Firestone-shod car into
the thickest of the recent battle at Mat-
amoras. Tires riddled with bullet holes
ami jagged -< ars are imfte testimonials
that the Federals could shoot straight,
although none of them penetrated the

SAVANNAH, GA., Aug. 30.—
“Bonna Bella,” the country home of
Robert Saussy, wil be the headquart
ers for the racing staff of the Isotta
interests in Grand Prize and
Vanderbilt automobile events this
fall. Harry Grant, twice winner of
the Vanderbjlt cup race, and who
piloted an Alco car in the 1910 Grand
Prize race, made the arrangements.
Grant appreciates the importance
of having his racing quarters in a
quiet, secluded spot, which is also
convenient to the course. From for
mer experiences he felt that Saussy’s
place is about the most desirable of
all the camps that have served as
racing quarters in years gone by.
This is the first racing camp reserva
tion that has been reported. Grant
has arranged for accommodations
for himself, Mrs. Grant, two other
drivers, two mechanicians and help
ers.
Isotta’s Two Cars.
This means the Isotta people will
come prepared to start two cars. It
is not definitely known yet whether
both cars will be entered in each
race. This may depend upon the
way the cars stand the grind of the
opening event.
Secretary Arthur W. Solomon, o?
the Savannah Automobile Club, is
being flooded with inquiries about
the races from makers of racing cars
as well as from owners of machines.
Asheville Man Interested.
One of the latest Inquirers is
Robert Reynolds, of Asheville, who
asks -for information about the Van
derbilt cup race.
It will be some time yet before the
full of entries and drivers will
be known. Ralph DePalma, who
has never missed a Savannah race
will be here, as will many other driv
ers who are already acquainted with
the Savannah course. He and Spen
cer Wishart will drive Mercedes
cars.
