Solidified Gas Developed Now NEW YORK, July 11.—Solidified gascline, which looks like “cheese, has been used successfully to run an ordinary gasoline engine in tests conducted at the New York Uni- versity. Any gasoline may be used in the solidification process, cost- ing about one quarter of a cent per gallon. Bolidified gas must be heated slightly to turn’it into fumes; heat | from the exhaust pipe subsequently; doing this work. In the demonstra- tions a special carburetor was used. The solidified gasoline can be stored in the open air with slight loss from evaporation. There is no loss at all when it is packed in sealed containers such as cardboard ice cream containers, and it can be kept for years. It is not known when solidified gas will be placed in “commereial use. Tt will not ex- plode, ca powers will have abandoned all limitations on navies, with conse- | | quent prospects of a naval race. | Hitherto, the cabinet drastically had pared down all naval demands, {but high Navy officials indicated | that they intend to defend bitter- {ly their estimates in view of an | imminent lapse. ‘ DECKS CLEAR WASHINGTCN, July 11.—The London Naval Limitations Treaty’s estimates do not provide for a new construction program, but contem- plate a rapid completion’ of the | present programs. | The treaty was designed to give |the Japanese Navy all the tonnage Iparmmed in all categories except | capital ships by the end of 1936. | Thus the nation's decks will be leared for action if ‘a naval race | comes.

R. 8540— It's a proposal to create a Gov- ernment supervised and controlled billion-dollar lottery. A subcommittee of the extremely busy Ways and Means Committee of the House took the time to hold public hearings on the measure. A petition is being circulated among members requesting that H. R. 8540 be reported on the floor of * the House this session for a vote. An organization known as the National Conference for Legalized Lotteries has been formed to fos- ter sentiment for such a proposal as that offered by the New Jersey Congressman. A concerted drive has been start- ed to get H. R. 8540 before the House this session, and if it fails to advance the measure to such an advantageous position that it will have to be considered by the next Congress.
