Investigation made by the auto editor
this -week shows that there Is an auto
mobile fuel now available at 8 1-Z
conts a Ballon, wholesale, which gives
practically as good results as gasoline
at 21 cents per gallon, wholesale.
For some time, owners of stationary
gas motors in El Paso have been using
a distillate or solar oil supplied by
the Itio Grande Oil company. In Cali
fornia, the Moreland trucks are run
ntireiv upon distillate and experi
ments 'have been made with this fuel
fur pleasure cars.
Ve Distillate In Briscoe.
On Thursday, a five-gallon can of
distillate was supplied by the Rio
Grande Oil company for test purposes.
A Briscoe "4 SS" stock touring car
was used to make the test. The gaso
line tank and carburetor of the Bris
coe were thoroughly drained and a
gallon of distillate was poured into
the tank
J. Ed Sullivan, a former auto sales
man, but now a biscuit dealer and n
Uriscoe owner, happened to pass the
l'ioneer Motor company's showrooms
as the tank was being filled. lie
doubted if any reasonable mileage
tould be obtained from the distillate
and was taken along as an observer.
11. T. Williams J. Li. Creel and the
auto editor were the other members
of the party. Frankly, there was some
ioubt as to the value of dlstlllato
without special carburetor adjustment
and the party also carried a tank with
gallons of gasoline "Just for emer

Slake 1US Mile to Gallon.
The start was made at 3:10 oclock
and the county road to Ysleta was
followed. Passing through Ysleta, the
car was turned toward Clint and the
epeedometer showed lg.S miles when
the fuel ran out.
The tank was then filled with a
mixture of gasoline and distillate In
equal parts, two quarts of each being
put in the tank The car continued
toward Clint for a couple of miles and,
ao a brisk, cold wind sprang up, the
jcturn home was started. Bucking a,
wind that grew stronger wjth every
mile, the Briscoe rolled off 20.7 miles

prised at the high mileage obtained
from the distillate. There were abso
lutely no changes In the carburetor
br equipment of the Briscoe, but when
the pure distillate was used, a "" ,
mixture was fed. The "half and half
was used with a "lean" mixture.
Many have argued that a motor
heats up with distillate fuel. Thurs
day's tests seemed to prove the con
trary. When the radiator cap was
taken off after the distillate run, the
motor was no warmer than when used
with pure gasoline.
"N" pecd Atlempted,
The test was made under ordinary
traffic conditions It took Just 66
minutes to run the 18 5 miles. The
streets, particularly for a mile west
and a half mile cast of Washington
park, were very rough, but where
the paed county roads were used,
it was easy riding The car was sent
over sandy side roads and up a few
grades, but the distillate worked as
smoothly as gasoline In the city, the
average speed was 15 miles but once
out of the city limits the average was
approxlmatedly 21 miles per hour.
According to E JL Lockhart, man
ager of the Rio Grande Oil company,
the distillate used has a gravity test
of from 30 to 40, while regular gaso
line Is supposed to test at least 60.
One Ilonbter Convinced.
One result of the trip was that Mr.
Sullivan, who started as a doubter. Im
mediately placed an order for ten gal
lons of distillate on his return home
and will use It for experiments In his
Briscoe roadster He asserts that he
will be able to average 20 miles to the
gallon with the cheap fuel.
It is possible that, under Ideal
weather conditions, an even greater
mileage would have been obtained,
particularly on the run against the
wind when 20 7 miles was obtained
from the gallon of "half and half."
When the car was examined on the
return, it was found that one of the
brakes did not permit a free roll of tha
wheel and this, too, worked against
a high mileage.
Advocate "llnlf nnd Hair."
"I believe that motorists will be able
to get first class results from an equal
mixture of distillate with gasoline."
said manager Lockhart, of the Rio
Grande OH company, when told of the
tests "If the present high price of
gasoline continues, something will
hae to be done In the way of a
cheaper fuel. It Is possible that not
all makes of carburetors will operate
successfully with distillate, but any
i nrburetor can be fitted to use the
half and half"
Assuming that a motorist uses the
"half and half," he will be able to buy
his distillate In small quantities at 10U
rents a gallon and his gasoline at 23
cent, which will give him an average
id't per gallon of 16 3-4 cents.

the motor was always running.
"Many drivers waste gasoline," said
Mr Tlncher, "and the Idea of my trip
was to see what results we could get

Axle Expert Reads Paper
That Creates Discussion
Among Motorists.
At the recent meeting of the Detroit
section of the Society of Automobile
engineers. J. G. Perrin, chief engineer
of the Timken-Detrolt Axle company
read a paper on the "Evolution of the
Rear Axle," and provoked a spirited
discussion of a topic that is of utmost
importance today. Much interest was
displayed in the hint that before long
we may have cars without differentials
as experiments are now being conduct
ed along this line.
Some of the pertinent points brought
out by Mr. Perrin in his paper follqwr-
"The axle and wheel are components
of tho modern motor car that have al
ways had some equivalent in vehicles
since the rolling type succeeded the
sled as a medium for transportation
Since the axle has nlways been In ex
istence the present form Is a matter of
development and evolution rather than
intention.
"In some of the earlier forms of mo
tor propelled vehicles a belt or chain
w?s used for transmitting the power
from its source to the driving wheel.
Due to the number of parts, the dif
ficulty of arranging a satisfactory form
of housing for the chain, and the loss
of nower from belt and other forms of
J friction drives, these systems have been
succeecea Dy some type of positive gear
drive.
"On pleasure car work the bevel gear
axle has up to thlB time been an exam
ple of the survival of the fittest, al
though the worm Is favorably consid
ered when low gear reductions are re
quired. "The load sustaining portion or the
rear axle has passed through a greater
number of stages of development than
any other part of the unit
Solution of Difficulty Sought.
"Until about two years ago the
straight tooth was the prevailing form
of betel drive gears. With such Im
provements In engines and transmis
sions that these units operated more
quietly, the difficulties became greater
in getting straight tooth bevel gears as
noiseless as the trade demanded This
condition wai nggratated by the In
crease in production, which make it Im
portant that the gears operate as noise
lessly as possible with a minimum of
adjustments, fitting and trying after a
chasls was put on the road.
"Then the gear reductions, on account
of greater range of speed on direct
dne, necessitated either small pinions
or larger driving gears. These again I
added to the difficulties of getting quiet i
gears. A solution of this difficulty was
sought in two directions the use of the
spiral bevel and of the worm gear.
"Recently the posititc drive form of
differential In which the drive is taken
on the wheel giving the best traction
has been developed commercially In sev
eral forms The elimination of the dif
ferential is a possibility suggested from
experiments a number of people now
are conducting on both commercial and
pleasure vehicles.
Conduct Kxperlment.
"The subject is sometimes brought up
j regarding the effect on axle design of
I the use of high speed six, eight and
j 12-cylInder engines of small bore. When
practically me same cnasis as regaruo
passenger carrying capacity Is used the
substitution of these engines for the
larger bore engines of a smaller num
ber of cylinders has resulted In no
change In the fundamental dimensions
of axle as regards sue or drive snatt,
bearings and driving bevels."
The possibility of running axles with
out differentials was dilated upon. Mr.
Perrin said that It Is being experiment
ed with all over the country. In Eu
rope they are running some of the am
bulances without differentials, and they
find that the efficiency of the truck Is
Increased a great deal, as regards
straight ahead going. The only limiting
factor, so far, has been the short turn
ing radius, as trucks so equipped can
not turn around in such close quarters
as conventionally built types, because
the friction of the parts Is too great
The binding effect in trying to turn
around In too short a circle has been
too great to be satisfactory on the
rough ground. One prominent electrical
concern building electric cars, said Mr.
Perrin. has tried the nondtfferentlal
construction in New York city and
found that the ampere draw with and
without differential was practically the
same
Asls for Comments.
F E. Moskovlcs, Nordyke & Harmon
company, said that he noticed several
concerns are In the habit of making
differentials without adjustment, and
asked for the comment of the author of
the paper on this subject Mr. rerrin
said that the other arrangement that
would have to be used. If there were no
s rew adjustment In the meshlnE of the
bevel gear, is the fitting of variable
pinion, back of the main bevel gear.
That has been tried, he said, and It Is
ntlnued today in some cases, and
while it Is perfectly feasible in small
productions, it has not proved a com
ier ial possibility In large outputs.

"When this trouble broke out tho
quartermaster's department had less

fact that the big truck manufacturers
had learned something of war trucks
as a result of the European war or

the army didn't have and haven t yet

mechanics are earning good money in

"There Is a movement on now to

It Is a mighty good move and I hope
to see these new organizations take
up the proper training of truck drivers
and mechanics. It Isn't at all the same

TJ. S. Consul at Piedras
Negras Reports on the
Increasing Demand.
Washington, D. C. April 15. That
Mexico will soon offer many oppor
tunities to manufacturers of American
mad motor cars is predicted in a report
to the department of commerce by vice
consul William P. Blocker at Piedras
Nesrraa, Mexico. . .
"When busines again opens irpin Mex
ico," consul Blocker reported, 'it is ex
pected that an important demand for
automobiles and motor trucks and ie
Hverv cars of American manufacturer"
will be manifested The trade in tirM
and accessories has alreadr ffac "
considerable valume and It is said to De
increasing gradually ,
T. fa nmnllnalt!. f11t iPftM SlnCO
Mexico was eliminated as a market ror j
motor vehicles. At that time every
automobiles manufacturer in the united
States was represented In the various
cities of the republic. Garages and
dealers were located in all of the chief
cities and large stocks of tires and ac
cessories were carried In these days
the trend of the demand was towards
the higher priced Fench cars, and In
the City ot Mexico there were to be
seen more automobiles or Trench than
or American manufacture, consequent
ly a large proportion or the tires and
accessories came rrom Europe.
"While there has been some replen
ishing or automobile stock during the
last rew years, and particularly during
the last rew months, Mexico is still a
virgin field for this class of trade.
Most of the cars that have been
shipped recently through Piedras Ise
gras and other border towns were for
military uses and to replaqe the old,
worn-out vehicles that saw hard ser
vice during the revolutionary period.
"The demand Is now beginning to
extend to private users In this con
nection it may be well to mention
that the prevailing Idea in the United
States seems to be that the people of
Mexico hate exhausted or lost all of
their wealth. This is an erroneous
idea. While It is true that many have
had their fortunes badly depleted,
there is still much actual cash in the
country, and it is hoped that It will
be placed In circulation as soon as poli
tical conditions will permit.
"Not long ago a sales company on
the border filled an order for tires
and tubes for delivery to a commis
sion broker in Mexico City that ag
gregated 25.000 gold. It is stated by
dealers along the frontier that there
Is a good demand for secondhand au
tomobiles for shipment to Mexico.
"The fact that the country Is now
I short or good horses and that many
fieopie nave no means or getting aoout
n carriages as formerly. Is one of the
elements that enter into the growing
demand for motor cars. Some or the
largest mining companies and Indus
trial concerns operating in Mexico
have placed orders recently ror a num
ber or trucks and several of these
shipments have alreadr gone forward
It is believed that the sale of motor
trucks in this country will reach large
proportions, as they are known to be
especially adapted to the heavy haul
ing required in the mining camps and
manufacturing centers of the re
public" HAS SUBSTITUTE
FOR RUBBER TIRE
Dulnth Chemlt Produces a Chemical Rub
ber Which lie Relieves Will Replace
Natural Product.
Duluth. Minn., April IS E. Asgemeter,
M. D . chemist and electrician or this city,
has Invented a chemical rubber which ho
believes will replaea the natural product.
"This Invention." said he, "Is tho work
of a lifetime. I am now 76 years old, hav
ing worked on a chemical rubber ror the
last 30 years.
"With oils and tars I have made a rub
ber that Is even better than the natural
product. It costs only one-sixth as much.
Is as elastic and mora durable than ordi
nary rubber "
In his laboratory at 31 East Superior
street Mr Angemeler has this product In
all Its stares of production and also some
or the completed product.
It Is of a dark brown color and has the
appearance ot rubber, so much so that when
a visitor noticed It in the course of devel
oping he asked what was the object ot mix
ing that rubber stuff The odor Is similar
to rubber and the weight about the same.
It shows elastic tendencies. When properly
handled, Mr Angemeler says, it will be a
useful commodity In the lines ot Industry
that now use rubber obtained from the Para
plant. The facilities aro not at hand to
develop samples In the many different ways
that can be of use. according to the chemist-Inventor,
but there Is in hand a chem
ical rubber that has been pronounced a
success by a master chemist.

its new features of construction, its
luxury and beauty.

come for you.

PRIVATE LICENSE TAG
BARRED IN GEORGIA
There are some motor car owners in
Georgia who think all they have to do
is to have a new number looking Ilka
that which the state sells, whether
they buy It rrom the state or not. Last
year a number of owners procured
numbers by having private firms
manufacture them in a. resemblance to
those sold from the office of the sec
retary of state. That a number of in
quiries for unofficial tags have been
made this year Is evidenced by a lefter
which the secretary of state has just
received from an Atlanta concern.
Last year at least one Georgia
motorist was Indicted and prosecuted
for purchasing a 1915 tag elsewhere
than from the secretary of state. This
probably put the concern selling It on
the lookout this year. When applica
tions began to come in this firm wrote
the secretary of state nnd asked him
whether It would be a violation of the
law to supply these tags.
