GASOLINE FROM LIGNITE IS DEMONSTRATED
There can be no doubt about the complete success of
the Burgius process for the extraction of gasoline, deisel
engine distillate, fuel oil lubercating oil, and other deriva
tives from lignite coal.
Latest advices from Berlin published in the techni
cal papers, and commented on in the news dispatches, say
that the two big plants recently completed in Germany
are now in successful and daily operation, turning out
many thousands of barrels per day.
Some skeptics had predicted that a vast difference
would be encountered between the laboratory tests and
demonstrations and commercial production on a large
scale. Such skeptics have been silenced by the results.
The commercial productions have failed to disclose a sin
gle flaw in the laboratory demonstrations. The discover
ies made along these lines by Dr. Burgius, the German
chemical wizard, are the wonder of the coal and gasoline
world. Each ton of lignite yields one barrel of gasoline,
one barrel of fuel oil, one barrel of distillate, and 15
quarts of lubricating oil.
German lignite from which gasoline and other pro
ducts are now being extracted on a large scale is almost
identical in chemical composition with the Alaska lignite,
and the lignite deposits tributary to the Alaska Railroad
are the largest in tonnage content known in the world.
The day will come with certainty when our lignite
deposits in Alaska will be one of the principal sources of
supply in the world for gasoline, engine distillate, fuel oil,
lubricating oil, and other by-products.
They say that after you get your first million the
second comes easily. But who in thunder wants a second
who hasn't had his first?
Columbus did a pretty fair job in discovering that
the world was round. Now for another courageous soul
to find out that the underworld is square.
Domestic felicity is determined when a man finds out
whether he married a home-keeper or a fashion model;
and when .a woman learns whether she married a bread
winner or a night-Qwl.

Owing to snow conditions in the Interior along the
railroad right-of-way someone will probably now intro
duce a bill into Congress advocating cutting off the mid
dle of the railroad.
An exchange tells of a fellow who was charged with
smashing a clock, but was acquitted when he proved that
the clock struck first.

the cooperation of the National organization

editor of the Elks Magazine and so wonderfully
shows the beneficent character of the Elks Or

propoganda picture but a regular movie feature
