Thu week, April m to Atay According to a dispatch from Washington, Baltimore may be come the manufacturing cen ler for a gasoline substitute. The United States Industrial Alcohol company, whose distil lery at Curtis Bay is probably the largest in tho country, is the sole owner of a patent for a new fuel which has marked ad vantage for use in automobile engines, nays the dispatch. Advantages of tho fuel arc said to be greater power, lower engino temperature and absol utely no carbon. It is said to show no corrosion on tho engine parts. And the reports aro that It can be produced at half tho cost of producing gasoline. Tho probabilities aro that the big distillery at Curtis Bay will be devoted to tho manufacture of this fuel in tho future. The distillery was used during the war to make alcohol for manu facture of explosives and poiHon gaBos. Before tho war ended it had been proved that tho now fuel could ho used with great advantage us a fuel for air planes. Because the patents wero turned over to tho United States irovernmcnt for war use no announcement was made ol tho development of tho product, although the company used it for its own automobiles for some months before tho armistice was s gnod and found it cheap er, more powerful and generally mora satisfactory than gasoline. II. S. Iluhin, tho chairman of thu board of directors of the comtmny, is (pioteu as saying! "All previous fuels with an alcohol basis had tho advantage of Ht'i-HHiting into constituent elements under charges of tern- Dernturi. ihis problem is com pletely solved in our fuel. Long tests have shown no corrosive action on the engine parts. Wo have patented a series of fuels all with an alcohol basis. llio week, April Sifiili to TO 4 C , . i 2nd. at James John has been At tllC M.

The "Cut-off" is a continuation of this street along the lines of the river instead of going in to the City by way of Lombard, Mississippi or Williams Avenue, Through the activity of County Commissioner Muck and the influ ence of the Industrial and Commercial interests of St. Johns, the Commissioners have commenced grading the Cut-off. One hundred thousand dollars is to be spent on this project. When finished, the Mileage to Portland will be reduced a considerable amount. What will it meair to St. Johns? It will mean that if you are em ployed in the City there v ill be a route created by which the trip can be made in much less timo than now because eventually there will be through service on a shorter route. It will mean the St. Johns Terminal is nearer Portland while having all the advantages of cheap land, deeper water and absence of bridges. The "Cut-off" and the Terminal mean a filling up of all the district from Greeley street to the river; they mean a more rapid development than has been known to the Peninsula. If other things have created doubt as to the ulti mate prosperity of St. Johns, the "Cut-off" and the St. Johns Termi nal should restore confidence. This spaqe is given over to this subject because we believe it will be noticed more than if put otherwise and because we believe in St. Johns. BONHAEVS & CURRIER L. E. ROSE, Mgr. Men's Dept.
