Art on hire is something new in this eountry. DPletures may he | rented by the week in London | now, some as low as 60 cents a | week and others as high as $7 - | 0 a month, according to the | value placed on the picture. Gui St. Bernard, art critic of The NEWS CHRONICLE, says: "I once suggested to a well- known artist that works of art should be obtainable on hire. He called me everything short of scurvy knave, and said that such an idea would 'cheapen' art; it would lose its appeal to cul- tured people, and gink to the lev. el of machine-made goods, "The Picture Lending Society has taken the plunge, at 34 Bloomsbury street, by offering, for sale or for hire, paintings by D. O. Dunlop, the Nicholsons, Eve Kirk and others who are on the list 'of most connoisseurs of mcdern British art. It is prob- ahle that Dobson and the Skeap- ings will be among sculptors whose works ean be temporarily owned. The artists are to re- ceive a percentage and hirers were given tions as often as they like, or buy them outright. / "Marketing methods can never cheapen art that is intrinsica.ly good, even if a small drawing away with every painting." "Excursion" Day Trip a Yorkshire Ruling pi-- (By the Canadian Press)) Leeds, England, July 14--An "ex- cursion" is a day trip--not a trip extending into two days or more-- according to a recent ruling of the Yirkshire Traffic Commissioners, the first ruling of the kind .in this country. An "excursion" is neither defined nor even mentioned in the Road Traffic Act, hence the traffic commissioners' decision i§ of more than ordinary interest," The Com- missioners' decision as to the mean- ing of an excursion is as follows: "A jourpey to and from a specified destination, to be completed in one day at an inclusive fare." In other words, a day trip. This decision affects bus licenses, as under the ruling each bys owner will be obliged to take out a license for a service of "express carriages," and the ownegs are in a dilemma as a result. Counsel for a number of motor coach owners who had ap- plied for excursion licenses to sea- side resorts on the east and west coasts, told the commissioners this. He said the position, so far as his clients went, was now entirely cha- otic. A number of applications hy his clients had been made under the impression that "excursion" meant a person could go to a resort one Sat- urday and return the following week, he said. Many a signal that is given is never understood. Power Alcohol Made From Home Products (By the Canadian Press)) Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia July 13.--Power alcohol, manufac- tured from maize and other local products, is a proposed new indus- try for Southern Rhodesia. A select committee recently appointed to in- quire into the advisability or other- wise of encouraging by law or other means the manyfacture and sale of power alcohol made from local pro- ducts has reported in favor of a mixture of petrol being used in or- dinary commercial, petrol-using, in- ternal combustion engines, provided the mixture does not exceed 20 per- cent of water free alcohol. This committe recommends that legislation be introduced providing for the inclusion of 20 percent of 99.8 percent alcohol in petrol sold in Southern Rhodesia as soon as the sunplies of such alcohol are avail- able. The committee is satisfied that alcohol can be purchased and de- livered at mixing stations at not more than two shillings a gallon, which would therefore not entail an increase in the cost of fuel to the consumer. The establishment of such an in- dustry would undoubtedly prove of benefit to maize growers. The com- mittee states it would provide a lo- cal market for. at least 100,000 bags of 'maize for which the distillery could pay nine shillings a bag and still sell alcoho! at two shillings a gallon. Not only would this create a new local industry, but it is of speacial value owing to the fact that Southern Rhodesia is an inland state. Southern Rhodesia will never he in a positicn to obtain foreign fuel at prices comparable to those that rule at the coast, and local sources of supply should therefore be encouraged, Technical evidence shows that a mixture of 20 per cent alcohol is the most efficient proportion to use, though certain authorities state that there is a maximum reduction in the mileage of 6 per cent, This is more than counterbalanced by valu- able properties which the mixture has been proved to possess, namely, cooler running, more perfect com- bustion and the absence of carbon deposit. The deleterious effect of the use of alcohol as fuel on motor engines has been shown to be dug to certain impurities in ordinary alcohol which arc not present in water<free al- cohol of 99.8 percent. purity, J The residue is a valuable stock feed, more especially for dairy cows.
