Tests Show Gasoline Substitute is Satisfactory. With the passing of the censorship ! s governing publication of facts per-j I taining to certain war activities 1 conies detailed information relative li to tests of Liberty fuel conducted by |< the war department and bureau of standards. u As a result of these tests the new fuei is reported to be satisfactory in every respect as a substitute for gas oline. The cost of manufacture is said to be 40 per cent lower than the cost 1 of gasoline while the power produced J is greater. J1 1 he manufacture of the new fuel i involves a still proeess. The ingredi- ] ents used are described as commodi- i ties which are now a tiruir on the mar- i ket. These can be obtained in suffi- ? clent quantities to assure au ample ; supply of the gasoline substitute. 1 The formula is a see.et held by theil inventor and the war*department. Liberty fuel is described as b'eing odorless and tasteless. The report states that its combustible products j produce a cooler effect than gasoline !; and that it is non-corrosive, lt docs j' not give out soot or carbo:; and starts ? the motor more readily than the fuel | it is expected to replace. The quality and specific gravity of the new fuel are changeable at j3 will. It will ignite only from a spark * of finnie. No special apparatus is re quired either in the engine or the * carbureter to attain the desired re- { suits. Practical tests of thc Liberty fuel 1 were conducted by army officers with j the aid of a Garford three.and one! half ton truck. According to the of- * ficiai report this truck carrying a j load averaged i?.4 miles per gallon j with- Liberty fuel over a distance of 1' 232miles. The route lay through the v mountains of the Cumberland dis- t trict. ;| The .truck used two gallons of r water in. the radiator and consumed !c two and one-half quarts of lubrica- j ting oil, an average of 103.1 miles' per quart duri:?e; the test. The jour-,, ney was made at a speed of from nine I to twelve mili:.-; per hour, the lower k speed being necessary because of j rain. With gasoline the truck under like j. conditions averaged 6.37 miles per j gallon. It used eight ami one-half gal- Jv lons of water in the radiator and j four and one-half quarts of oil, an average of 03.i> miles sr quart. The truck easily negotiated the Cumber- ! land district mountains cn Liberty fuel, the report states.-Philadelphia _ Ledger. "( China's Opium Episode. The rueged rectitude of China's president in burning the opium stocks of Shanghai stands out as a shining example of an unvascillating hand ling of the object, of war prohib?-I ? tion," declares the Record of Chris tian Work. "The smoke cf !,200| chests (valued at millions of dollars) is the sweetest sacrificial savor to go heavenward since the Czar relinquish ed the huge revenues of the vodka r.sji ^uapisajj o] posoddrj '?[dououi Shih Chan was a considerable group of officiais who honed to reap finan cial benefit from the reopened traffic. On the other hand; a great body of leading citizens was bitterly opposed to the return of the drug. The four provinces in which -it was proposed to recommence sale had determined: 1. If the opium dealer be a shop keeper ali the banks and money shops shall refuse to have any tiling to do with him in money matters so that he will have to close his shop for lack of funds and banking facilities. 2. If an employe of a shop deals in opium the shopkeeper shall dismiss the man. His name shall be published in the newspapers so that he will not be able to find employment else where. 3. If a wealthy man be discovered dealing in opium his name shall be given to the elder of his family with the request that he be cast out from the family (one of thc greatest of disgraces) and he shall, without mer cy, be opposed by all as an alien. 4. Landlords shall ' not rent their houses to opium dealers. If they do they will Le dealt with as if they were opium dealers themselves. 5. If damage is done to opium dealers and their properties, the Chamber of Commerce shall refuse to grant compensation.
