Most of the alcohol used in America for industrial purposes (which is many times as TJ mtlrti aa'haa t¥«t been used f>r bev- JlB erage purposes) is manufactured from ~ fmolasses, shipped in tanks from the SHOW INCREASE sugar mills to the distilleries. In Germany the conunercial produc tion of alcohol from wood wastes by a new process which makes “ethyl” alcohol, instead ^ the poisonous methyl” or wood alcohol, is proving successful. Twenty ■ tons of sawdust and chips yield eight tons of sugar, which furnishes 1,300 gallons of al cohol, at a cost of half a cent a quart. With alcohol as cheap as gasoline, Chevrolet dealers reported the sale 48,218 new passenger cars and| trucks in May, within 200 units of do- mestic production for the month, W. S. Knudsen, president and general manager announced today. In the first ten days of the month/ dealers reported the sale of 13,870 units. In the second like period the to tal advanced to 16,227 units, and in the last period it climbed to 18,121 new cars and trucks, Mr. Knudsen stated. This entrance into June on a rising sales curve is one of the most hopeful signs for the month now evidant, Mr. Knudsen pointed out.
