Another Fake Hit ' -
By Government.
" : ' . ' , , ' ... ' "
The department of Agriculture has
landed on another fake. The addi
tion of "Saponin" to food mixtures as
a substitute for white of eggs has been
declared officially "adulteration" under
the Food & Drugs Act by the Bureau
of Chemistry. This means prosecu
tion of the people who use Saponin.
Sajonin Is a substance that when
dissolved in water foams like soap. It
is extracted from plants known as
soapbark and soaproot, and a . few
other plants, by boilingjthem in watei.
Its name; is derived from the Latin
word sapo, which means soap. When
saponin is added to the so-calfed sub
stitutes for white of eggs it produces
a foam similar m appearance to tne
foam : produced by genuine white 1 of
egg! ' 1 : i

HOLLAND TO PROBE
TUBANTIA ATTACK
'.: - London. April 21 The follow
ing statement issued by the Dutch
foreign office comes from Reuters
correspondent at The Hague:
"The German government acting in
accordance with a request of the Neth
erlands government has consented to
collaborate with the Netherlands gov
ernment in order to ascertain the iden
tity of the torpedo which struck the
Tu'bantia."
Farmingdale, L. I.. April 21. Col.
Louis Enricht. the man who says that
he is going to .revolutionize the' auto
mobile by showing the world how to
run cars with plain water plus a little
of his magic "green fluid," has left
this town in .his high powered car for
some point or points known only to
him anft his son. ' He has gone to buy-
two chemicals . which he lacks in or
der to compound a few quarts more
of what the natives call "automobile
dope" and other names.
Th$ inventor; believing that his ev
ery step is. being watched, has run
out' iof the necessary chemicals with
which to make more of the .fluid which
is puzzling the public and experts. He
is afraid to go info any drug store
to purchase the needed chemicals for
fear that a spy will go in after he
leaves, get the same substance, and.
then by the process of elimination.
learn me secret. . . .
Col. .Enricht declares that all the
stories of his merely going ', into., the
village here and purchasing the sub
stances which go to make up his ma
gic fluid are absolutely untrue. Ac
cording to Mm, he has been ,so care-.
ful about his secret that whenever he
goes to New . York or other cities he
buys but one chemical in a store. ''The
secret is mine, and, until somebody
gives me a fair reward and promises
to make the substance a public bene
nt,' I'll guard my. rights to it even
if I have to use this," he said, putting
his .hand to hiship pocket, in which
he carries a big automatic pistol. This
he claims, the local magistrate gave
him a license to have.
The' much spoken of invention is
spoken of with respect in the man's
own ' town, alone. Here the natives
believe in Enricht, first as an honor
able and educated man who should
command ' the respect of , everybody.
Besides, several of the taxi- men have
tried the "water gas" and seem to be
delighted at the results that they get
from it."
But scientific men are baffled. Sorrie
of them believe' that the inventor's in
vention is not a real one, and even if
he has something to substitute for the
gasolene, it Is . not commercialy prac
tical, they argue. Others are-spending
their nights trying to , work out
what the new fluid can be and what
its properties are. f
"The Colonel merely laughs at all
these people, and at all their Conclu
sions,; which, , he says, ' are "dead
wrong" and "way off." In fact judging
by appearance, the Colonel is not at
all annoyed about the success of the
fluid itself. Of that he says he is as
sured, i Besides, 'he points out that
"situated as comfortably" as he is,
his large well furnished home, where
he has his laboratory and a house
full of books and paintings, he is not
worrying about the financial success
of his invention. ,
"Yet I want to get what is by all
justice my reward," he repeated.
The Colonel claims that the water
acts as a catalysis for his fluid rather
than that the fluid catalysis the water.
"But this is not the whole real story
of what chemical action goes on when
the secret liquid . and the water are
mixed together," he informed a re
porter for The livening Sun in the
next breath.
In fact, Mr. Enricht is as secretive
about the chemical reaction that goes
on in the mixture as he is about the
substance that go, to make up his
magic fluid. When this subject is ap
proached he turns to the topic which
apparently troubles most the people
who are watching him and threatening
his very personal safety.
