G ASOLINE costs more and more
every day, with no prospect of
relief in sight. You would pro
bably be glad to operate your car
on anything, provided the cost was
reasonable. There is no doubt about
the cheapness of sawdust, but you
are inclined to question its practical
value as a motor fuel.
Henry Smith William has an
article in December MoToR that
points out the unlimited possibilities
a hitherto neglected power medium.
Internal combustion engines do not
depend completely on gasoline.
Alcohol or benzol may be made to
produce the same results. And a
billion and a half gallons of these
potential fuels are being wasted in
this country every year!
The “How” and the “Why” are
of the utmost importance to the

PRIESTS. TO BE
IS PREDICTED
No Extensive Corporation Financ
ing in Sight. However, De
clare Bankers.
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—A plethora!
of money is predicted by some of the
most foreslprhted bankers of the com
munlty at a period not very far dis
tant. In the present slowing down of
trade, absence of speculation of all
kinds and general tendency to restrict
expenditure and economize in both
corporate and private life there Is the
basis for this belief, which Is already
foreshadowed in the easier tendency
in money rates and the gathering
strength of bank resources
The Increase in the supply of mon
ey, however, in not to be the basis for
any immediate period of expenditure
such as extensive corporation financ
ing. Bankers hold the view that the
extent of financing of this nature that
is to bo dono in the coming year lfl a
matter entirely of future development
of conditions.
Wait on Events.
The shaping up of circumstances
will govern the extent of corporate
financing that will be undertaken, but
until the present movement of re
cession in trade and accumulation of
funds lias progressed considerably
further there will he no disposition
on the part, of great banking inter
ests to determine how far this financ
ing is to go.
The opinion Is expressed that the
amount of financing that must of ne
cessity be done is practically suffi
cient to consume whatever Improve
ment in the situation has been made
up to this time It Ih not likely, there
fore. that bankers will put too heavy
pressure on the situation, with the
natural effect of restraining improve
ment, by encouraging any financing of
corporations in addition to that which
necessity requires.
Currency Law Vital.
The outcome of the currency bill
and of the railroads' application for
higher rates enters most Intimately
Into the situation and it is undoubted
that if the bill Is passed in even a
moderately amended form and If an
Increase in rates is obtained, there
will immediately he a pronounced re
sumption of active corporate financ
ing on a broad scale.
It is becoming Increasingly appar-
rent that the United States is in a
strong position to take gold from Eu
rope at any time bankers here desire
to do so and consider it advisable, al
though the attitude continues to be
that we do not need the gold here arid
it is better to continue to loan to
Europe. The European banks gained
moderately in gold holdings and in
the general j>osition.
