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. ... . " .- . .
