DISCOVERS CHEAP FUEL
FOR AUTOS
--
Louis Enright, tt chemist of Farming
dalye, L X., claims to have discovered a
subsitute for gasoline, us a motor fuel
which promises to revolutionize transpor
tation.
Enright lias been working on the plan
for several years, and now pronounces
It a complete success. Several demon
strations of the new product in the pro.
pulsion of automobiles has been made for
members of the press and others, and
in every instance the engines have been
run with apparently all the power and
smoothness as is possible with gasollm
In a recent test made for a newspaper
man, the spectators saw Enright lake
his ordinary runabout and emptied the
live gallon gasoline tank.
The tank was partially Ailed with \..i
Itr from a garden host and a small
amount of the green powder yvas dropped
Into It. An electrode connected with two
dry butteries was then placed In the so
lution and the car was cranked up. The
car ran with Enright and, a pa senger for
four miles
When a representative of the New York
I paper asked Enright If he would dupli
cate the performance with one of the
I papers' automobiles he agreed but re
fused to put his compond into the tank,
saying secrecy was ills only protection. |
The newspaper driver uncoupled the j
gasoline tank and drained the carburetoi 1

slipped it over one end of a rubber tube
the other end of the rubber tube led to
i long glass laboratory tube about three
fourths of an Inch In diameter and about
a foot In length. From the barn hydrant
the pitcher was filled and a dash of
green liquid added. Then he poured the
mixture Into the tube.
The driver cranked the ear and th- !
engine started off us regularly as though |
It was reeding on gasoline. The liquid
in the tube began s'iding down as it fed ■
ihrougn the carburetor and into th.
cylinders. There was no othet sub
stance turning the engine.
Knright states that the new fuel can l.
produced for ubout X 1 -b' rents a gallon
