#- nswes* SUPPLEMENT EAST CLACKAMAS NEWS, OCTOBER 30, 1919 W h at the “ Y ” Did in the W a r More Powerful Gasoline In the first of a series of arti cles headed, “The ‘Y’ in the War,” which Dr. Dietfenbach of the Christian Register is writing for his paper, he shows in effect ive parallel columns toe distri bution by three welfare organi zations of the proceeds of last autumn’s war work campaign. The Y. M. C. A. was intrusted with $100,000,000, on which sum it maintained 10,000 huts and 6,000 secretaries. The Knights of Columbus had 30,000,000, with which they cared for 150 huts and 700 secretaries. The Salva tion received $3,500,000 to main tain 45 huts and 186 secretaries. Comparing the receipts with the work done, it appears that the Y. M. C. A. received $62,500 l'or each hut in operation and $16,666 for each secretary in service. The Knights of Colum bus received $200,000 for each hut in operation and $42,858 for each secretary. The Salvation received $77,000 for each hut, and $18,917 for each worker. The evident conclusion is that the “ Y” did a bigger work, not only absolutely, but relatively, than these other organizations, yet Dr. Dieffenbach considers that the giving of material com forts as onl> one of the lesser ministrations of the “ Y .” In deed, he thinks that all the wel fare organizations gave away entirely too many goods. “ If not a cake of chocolate, a cigar ette, a sheet of paper, a biscuit, had been given, the contribution of the Y. M. C. A. —which did ninety-eight per cent, of all the service among the well soldiers— and the contribution of its asso ciates would be beyond praise and beyond price.” —Pacific Ad- ovcate. t Automobile manufacturers are looking toward the adjustment of their engines to the less vola tile but more powerful gasoline now being supplied by petroleum refiners. Refiners, in order to meet the increasing demands up on petroleum stocks, have cut deeper into the crude oil and are producing a fuel considerably more powerful than that of former years, The problem of engine adaptation to the supply of petroleum and its refined parts is one expected to come be fore the statistical research bu reau which the American Petro leum Institute, w ith headquar ters in New York, intends to establish. In this institute pro ducers refiners and consumers of of oils may join in co-ordinating their efforts for the improve ment of the industry. The problem of using a less volatile, but more powerful gaso line for automobiles is not a new one. According to Henry L. Doherty, chairman of a commit tee of petroleum producers and refiners which is now negotia ting with the manufacturers of motors, Doherty’s committee and another headed by John N. Willys, of the automobile manu facturers, have had the prob lem under consideration for some time. Although pretro- leum producers are bending every possible effort toward in creased production they have thus far been unable to ade quately cope with the enormous increase in the demand for pe troleum products, especially gas oline. Refiners, however, have advanced the only practical solu tion to the threatened shortage by cutting deeper into the crude oil and extracting a greater vol ume of gasoline which is less volatile but more powerful. In this way it is hoped the supply of this fuel can in some measure keep pace with the demand. “ It s a Long W ay to T ip p e ra ry ,’ th e Red C ross is th ere . but Another Great At the p r e s e n t tim e in th e N o rth w e s te rn Division a lone—c o m p risin g A laska.
