A London chemist, W. A. Hall, has | invented a process for making it from 'kerosene and it consists in taking the | fraction of kerosene (from which the 'gasoline has all, or substantially all, been stripped) boiling np to about 220 degrees Centigrade, and passing his fraction, which constitutes. the pirit or drying portion of the oil, | between very small interstices under 'a very high pressure, which may . be from 1,000 pounds per square inch | to even 3,000 pounds per square inch J or more, in the presence of a gas ontaining hydrogen or a hydrocar- on gas at a temperature not above hat of the lowest boiling point of he liquid, say 100 degrees to 120 de- rees Centigrade. By this means there results a com- ination of the gas and the liquid ydrocarbon, causing a certain mount of hydrogenation of the lat- er, the result being a considerable owering of the flash point of the iquid hydrocarbon and an alteration f the odor. Apparatus for producing this com- ination of the gas and oil may con- sist of a form of homogenizer of he kind used in homogenizing milk, onsisting of a series of metal disks plugs between or through which e liquid is forced in the presence the gas. The metal disks or plugs are preferably made of nickel and y be very finely grooved, i.e, may provided with mere scratch marks. 'he gas employed may be hydrogen, or any coal gas containing hydrogen, hydrocarbon gas such as oil gas acetylene. RRR Driver Enlists.

REUDCES COST OF FUEL, "An Old Car" By Walt Mason GAZED upon an ancient Haynes, (4 all scarred and marred with travel stdins. I gazed upon its ancient form, which had survived the stress. and storm of endless roads and changing climes, this boat so much behind the times. I asked the cheerful owner why he didn't loosen up and buy a modern car, and he replied, "I couldn't beat this if I tried. For seven years it's climbed the hills and gampoied by the babbling rills,. and pushed its way through mud and sand, and earned its keep, to beat the band. "I'm always saying, 'Well, next spring I'll get a modern car, by jing. But when the gentle spring has come, and winter's voice at last is dumb, this good old car works so serene, and drinks so little gasoline, and is so faithful and so true, I wouldn't swap for one that's new. She's run a hundred thousand miles, and, though away behind the styles, she's | sound and husky as of yore; she'll "run a hundred thousand more." There are a million folks like me, and with my words they will agree. They're looking for a car to last un- til life's fitful dream is past. And there is evidence at hand to show the Haynes meets this demand.

Dependable Accessories Batteries Auto Livery some automobiles to stick to the right | | RECORDS OF CARS MUST BE WATCHED BY BUYERS | Winnetka Manager Says Economy Records Should Be Considered. | A. W. Sieglaff, local Willys-Over- {land dealer, insists that gasoline mile- | age reports should be regarded seri- | ously and investigated before the | prospective purchaser decides which automobile he will buy. Reports on fuel economy can furnish an indica- tion of the merits of the car, he de- clares. "Now that the motor car has found its way into the utility classification and the public has become educated | concerning it, the average person has learned to take definite figures con- cerning gasoline mileage with a grain of salt," said Mr. Sieglaff. "He knows that the amount of gasoline used for each mile of travel in an automobile depends largely on the experience of the driver, the roads, traffic condi- tions and the grade of fuel which is used. "Nevertheless, those figures should not be ignored. If they are so ex- cessive as to attract attention, there must be some unusual merit attached to the performance of the car, or the claims are absolutely fraudulent. "In order to determine just how much confidence should be placed in those figures, the prospective pur- chaser should demand a demonstra- tion of the car under the same condi- tions that existed when the big gaso- line mileage was obtained. If the 28 to 32 No. 5th Ave. Near Madison Street, Chicago Ten Course Table d'Hote Dinner Sun- days and Holidays. Popular Price Restaurant Vocal and Instrumental Music demonstration bears out the claims made in behalf of the car, he can then do the same thing with other makes of cars, and in the end he will know just which car will produce the best results under like circumstances. "Wide attention has been attached to our Country Club models on ac- count of the big gasoline mileage fig- ures which have been obtained with them. "But now, when a prospective pur- chaser asks me if a Country Club car will always produce big gasoline figures, I simply tell him it should do so under certain circumstances. An inexperienced driver or densely crowded streets, however, might re- duce those figures considerably. "What we want the prospective purchased to do is to witness a dem- onstration of the Country Club, satisfy himself that it has unusual fuel economy merits, and then com- pare its performance with that of other cars of similar class. We feel positive, in our minds, that this com- parison will mean a sale for the Country Club." -R-0. 0% Damages.
