"rr PACT, EIGHT COAL GAS USED ASSUBSTITUTE Fuel Is Converted by Device on Car Wartime Gasoline Price ' lit England (Joes to : 37 Cents By Homer lenk (UniUtt l'rM Slafl tWri-intW-ntl London Britain's 2.000.000 a5-oline-Rtarved motorists arc looking hopefully to coal gus as a partUl solution to their wartime difficulties. Their hopes haw been buoyed by publication of a it-port by the gov ernment committee on emergency couversion of motor vehicles to pro duce gas. This report said that the mines department already had licensed 25 farms to manufacture Ras-Droducing unit conforming to the committee's designs. These units may be mounted directly on the vehicle itself or towed on a trailer. Little change need be made on the automobile engine, only the carbu retor being affected. The committee said fuel for these gas units already was available and soon would be ready "or nearly 10.000. Damper Put On Optimism Transportation authorities have warned private motorists against over-confidence that these new units Oregon's Own and Only Sugar (and ip A Hood River and Hood River Valley are most famous for their apples, pears, strawberries, and other fruits, but they have many other important industries, such as dairying, farming, canning and timber.

While it is true that the units may be avail able eventually for the small-car owner, their con! at present u pro hibitive.

Should the cost of the conversion units presently estimated at more than $2tiQ each be reduced, it is likely that manufacturers would imd a readv-made market in the small car field since the cot of fuel such as coal and coke would be much less than that of gasoline. Wartime restriction have struck a particularly hard blow at the mo torics. Each privately-owned car now U rationed only enough yalitte to permit it to go about 200 miles a month, which is less than a third of the monthly miltag "f tlte aver age motorist before the war. This compares with a monthly mileage of , nearly 1.000 miles by the average i American driver.
