Morrell and Dr. Gustav Egloff of Chicago. 'They have produced an anti- knock motor fuel from the tar in the 'Douglas fir. While this fuel now is in the laboratory stage, the report says it can be made in com- mercial quantities from present wood waste, : "The development of a practical and economic means of converting wood waste into motor fuéls," says the report, "has a deeper signifi- cance than the immediately impor- tant factor of conservation--it provides a source of motor fuels for 'the future which is under the direct control of man. "Our great storehouses of poteu- tial motor fuel from petroleum, coal and oil shales are heritages from past ages, while wood tars and other vegetables are produci- ble under controlled conditions. "Approximately 24 per cent of the standing tree is converted into useful products, while 76 per cent is wasted. "As an example of the possibili- ties of the utilization of this waste, from an average annual yield of 7,- 500,000,000 board feet of Douglas fir the equivalent of 2,500,000 cords, or 4,200,000 tons is avail- ble for destructive distillation, yielding the following products: "Turpentine and light oils, 8,- 500,000 gallons; tar, 70,000,000 gallons; wood alcohol, 9,780,000 gallons; acetate of lime, 187,500,- 000 pounds; charcoal * 2,440,000 pounds. And a large yield of gas for fuel. "The 70,000,000 gallons of tar will produce by cracking, accord- ing to present research, 23,300,000 gallons of motor fuel equal in anti knock: properties to benzene." These figures cover only one kind of wood. The report says that hardwood tar may be used to manufacture low-boiling tar acids and phenols, and that pine tar is suitable for making solvents and paint thinners.

EMBASSY "NOT ALONE Several European Embassies Are "Dry"'--Drink Tea And Coffee London, July 10--The American Embassy at London, made "dry" by a recent decision of Ambassador Dawes, is not the only "dry" Amer- ican territory in Europe. The embassies at Berlin, Copen- hagen, and Oslo have the status. In the other European capitals zuests at official dinners are in- dulged in the usual wine courses. Only tea and coffee were served at the 'house warming tea" in Ap- ril at the Berlin Embassy, the only official entertainment yet held there, Ambassador Schurmann himself lives in private quarters at his own expense and in official din- ners of the past, prior to opening of the new building, served the us- ual wine course. The American minister at Oslo is a total abstainer and the question of serving alcoholic liquors has never arisen there. No spirits have been served at Copenhagen, Den- mark, for the last two years. The Embassy at Paris has been closed since the death of Ambassa- dor Herrick. No liquor is served in the dinlomatie chancellery which is the olny part of the embassy now functioning. At Madrid and the smaller capitals of southeast- ern Europe there apparently has been no disposition to dry up the official functions. . MILLION PERSONS UNDER OBSERVATION San Francisco, Cak, July 10.-- Dr. Thomas Parran, Jr., assistant surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, ad- dressing the National Conference of Social Work here, said nearly 1,000,000 persons were under med- ical care or observation for social diseases in the United States. Dr. Parran estimated that the resulting economic loss for the male population alone between the ages of 15 and 45 represented 229,000,000 a year or 57,000,000 non-effective days. Other losses were laid by Dr. Parran to the door of social disease. "Its widespread prevalence re- veals the extensiveness of the eco- nomic loss, in terms of sick days, occasioned by the disease, the cost of medical care and the ineffect- iveness of many individuals," said Dr, Parran. Among the social as- pects he cited the complications re- infections as steril- ity, 'blindness in the new-born still births and increased infant mor- tality. TWO LIGHT CRUISERS OFFERED FOR SALE Washington, D.C., July 1.--Two decommissionér light cruisers,\the New Orleans, and the Albany, no longer fit for naval service, are to be offered for sale by the navy. The ships were purchased during the Spanish-American War from the . Brazilian. Government. The New Orleans participated in the en- gagement off Santiago, Cuba, against Cervera's squadron. The Albany saw service in several ex- peditions to Central America dur- ing the first decade of the century. They were used to escort convoys War, and were decommissioned in SCIENTISTS BREAK "4: THROUGH VEIL ~ Amazing Discoveries Re- vealed By Unusual Experiments J v "Madison, iWs., July 10--An "ap- proach" that breaks partly through the veil of mental inaccessibility of some kinds of insanity and gives an inkling of what goes on bhe- hind has been developed by three University of Wisconsin cousin physicians. Their process, use of gas to re- store near-sanity for a few min- utes, was announced some ilo ago, and mow some of the things they learned are made public. Amazing to many physicians was the emergence of a seemingly nur- mal brain, hinting that an old idea that = disease of the brain (itself caused insanity may not be wholly true. The physicians were the late Ar- thur 8. Loevenhart, Willlam F. Lo- renz and Ralph M. Waters. The re- storations were induced by inhal- ing a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Sometimes permaneént grimaces relaxed to a natural facial expres- sion, 'unnaturally © tensed muscles eased, intelligence returned to the eye, normal speech to tongues mute for years and power of reasonable conversation. The restorations lasted two to 25 minutes. After that there was rapid, sometimes abrupt, relapse. "In most of the cases," the In- vestigators report, "some extreme- ly interesting thoughts were ex- pressed which offer a field for fur- ther investigation. "One instance deserves special mention. This occurred in a pa- tient diagnosed as having déemen- tia praecox, of more than sis years' duration, who was extreme- ly inactive and mute and had been transferred to a hospital for the chronic insane. "After carbon dioxide and oxy- gen he began to talk and for a pe- riod of more than 25 mMhiutes maintained a remarkably clear and comprehensive conversation. His chief complaint concerning his present situation was the fact that he always had been a hard-working man, employed as an automobile mechanic, and he regretted more than anything else his lack of oc- cupation. This evidence from a psychotic person bearing on the valye of occupational therapy is extremely interesting." A prelimiary report of the work has appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The temporary. relief is assigned to stimulation of the cortex of the brain. Thus far three types of insanity have responded, demeéntia praecux, manic depressive insanity and in- volution melancholia. 'The physi- cians concluded that thers is pos- sibly indicated 'something very material about certain kinds of in- sanity," and that the method of "approach" is worth further inves- tigation. CONSULT DOMINION ON CONFERENCE Snowden Announces Move to Develop Commerce Within Empire (By George Hambleton, Canadian Press Staff Writer) London, July 10.--An imperial eco- nomic confergnce lies in the offing, Rt. Hon, Philip Snowden, chancellor. of the exchequer, announced in the House of Commons yesterday that communications were going forward to the dominions looking to the sum- moning of such a conference. Its pur- pose, he said, would be consideration of ways and means of extending in- ter-empire trade. ; Mr. Snowden's announcement came at the close of a speech in which he made it clear his government did not consider preferential tariffs the best means of fostering empire trade. "The present government," the chancellor declared, "is most anxious to promote the closest trade relations with every one of our dominions, with every part of the empire, but we do not believe that those trade relations can ¢ placed upon the best footing of mut- "ual advantage by a system of prefer- ential tariffs. Joseph Chamberlain said, 'You cannot have imperial pre- ference without a tax upon food and raw materials.' That is a policy to which we will never subscribe." The other day Rt. Hon. Hon. Win- ston Churchill, former chancellor of the exchequer, referring to the part. ies in the House, said: "The floor is wider than the gangway." As a gang- way divides Liberals from Conserva- tives and the floor divides both from Labor, Mr. Churchill's statement has been interpreted widely as a hint of a Conservative-Liberal coalitien, Today both Rt. Hon. L. C. M. Am- ery, former secretary for the domin- ions, and Mr. Snowden had comments to make. Colonel Amery declared he did not support the former chancel- lor's view, and following a plea for imperial preferences declared that if the government was prepared to take the lead in the mattr "then they can reckon on a very wide measure of support from these benches." They might he said, have an even longer lease of life than they expected. Mr, Snowden, however, gave no en- couragement to Colonel Amery's sug- gestion. "The right honorable gentle. man," the chancellor drily replied, "can abandon any idea of a rap- prochement betwéen our party and his party on those lines." - Wheeling, droning, zooming, diving, roaring aircraft, a veritable "Carni- val of the Clouds," will be a big fea- ture of the Canadian National Exhi- bition's Empire Year Celebration, August 23 to September 7.
