" AUTOMOBILE NEWS' C. C. Evans, Overland distributor here, announces the immediate arriv al, probably Wednesday of next week, of an Overland wire Wheel ( white in color) six. At the same time a Willys Knight, 40 h. p., will be shipped here for demonstration a few days, though it is really sold now. This informa tion was learned last evening after Mr. Evans telephoned to Portland for more cars after disposing of. his ma chines on tapis here. The white wheeled cur is something of a fancy affair. .. Al Daniel of the Daniel Auto com pany, has had a Tun on Chevrolets and Reos, Recent Chevrolet sales in clude one to George Richardson, one to tfroceryman le on the North side, one to Marion Davis of Union, Lcn West of Union. Tuck Conley of Cove has acquired a six-cylinder Reo from the same dealer while Don Ruckman has purchased a 'Reo four. Dan Kelley, well known Baker Ath lete, and P. B.

McManus and Prescott, druggists at the Red Cross, have pur chased jointly a model ' 83 Overland from Distributor kvans. - ,. ''.(., The Willys-Knight people announce the sale of one of their cars to King Alphonso of Spain this week for his personal use. It will be delivered in New York net week. i . According to. Bob Leighton local Maxwell ddaler, women are more courageous when it comes to learning to drive automobiles than are most men. . "We delivered a 1916 Maxwell car to a woman recently," said Mr. Leigh ton. "As is our custom, we sent an expert out with the car to deliver it and to give the lady, who had never attempted to drive an automobile he fore, her first lesson in the handling of the machine. After giving the be ginner a . lesson lasting for about forty-five minutes our man came away telling the new Maxwell owner that he would come out (again the next day if she would telephone and let us know what time would best suit her convenience. "Friday morning, not having heard anything further from the lady, the teaener reported it to me and 1 lm mediately called her up to find if we could be of any service to her and to ascertain when she would desire another lesson in driving. You ca?i imagine my surprise when she re plied that she had decided that she could drive to her own satisfaction af ter the lesson that she had taken the first day. She said that all that she needed was a little practice and that ithe next afernoon she started out in the machine and went down on the busy streets and drove back and forth, as she wished to accustom herself to the traffic. She said that she had made the round trip ten or twelve times when an officer inquired of her as to her object in coming along and turning around so many times and, at such regular intervals; and she wond ered why he was so surprised when sho told tun) that she was ' just learn ing to drive her new Maxwell car." . ' . , About the most lucid explanation of how to make the new substitute for gasoline, is contained in a statement at Madison, Wisconsin, where the new process is proving practical namely making alcohol out of wood for power purposes. Here is the way it is done The process used at the laboratory as explained by the director is an im provement on the Danish method dis. covered in 1898. It is substantially this: Mill waste is run through hog machines that chop the wood into fine sawdust. The sawdust is then dumped into a digestor, an iron cylin der to which is admitted a weak sol ution of sulphuric acid. The cylinders bto then filled with live steam et a pressure of aibout 120 pounds for twenty minutes. The' action of the steam and acid breaks up the cellulose in the wood and converts it into sug ars. The sugars are worked out of the the sawdust and the result is a sugar water extract This water extract is treated (with yast and the yield Is alcohol. The product is then put into copper wtills and refined to almost 100 percent -purity. Thore is no difference between alcohol obtained from wood and that obtained from grain. iAt present there is only one grain alcohol manufacturing plant ' in the country. This is located at Georgetown S. C. Heretofore the growth of the in dustry has been retarded by wildcat schemes but especially by. lack of I knowledge regarding the technical process. ' " ' Since Congress has been consider ing an investigation into the high price of gasolin, and since the resolu ton is now before the House of (Rep resentatives to formulute necessary plans by which the Government can manufacture gasoline, it is probable that the Federal authorities will take cognizance of this work successfully carried out 'by the laboratory. The Rittman process by which it is suid gi soline can be produced cheaper;' re lics on natural production of crude oih mid eventually theso will bo exhaust, od. Alcohol, on the other hand can ba riwmuifactured as long as there is wood. ... . " .- . . ' Springfield, Mass., March 21. The Hendee Mfg.
