Between West Point and Haver- straw an area of 14 miles on the west bank of the Hudson River has been burned over. A hunter’'s charred body has been found on a hillside near Hav- erstraw. The 250 inhabitants of Doodletown, a village on the top of Mount Temp, in Bear Mountain Park, were driven from home yesterday, but backfires and ploughed fields finally saved the vil- lage. At Newburg, N. Y., the flames burned over a considerable area of privately owned preserves, chiefly on the slopes of Storm King Mountain. A heavy pall of smoke has hung over the Adirondacks for three days. In the vicinity of Syracuse a fire was sweeping toward 400 acres of trees in the Clay Swamp. Hunting has been restricted in vari- ous Eastern States because of the dan- ger of starting forest fires. EKENTUCKY FIRES RAGE. Only Part of Big Blazes in State TUnder Control. By the Associated Press LOUISVLLE, Ky., November Forest fires in Kentucky, which already have caused damage variously estimated 000 to $300,000 on the basis appeared to- 1 by firefighters tions, although still burning points. An unusus pell in this State m: a rapid spread of the fla ned by brisk winds of the la ready incurred resulted most- Iy from destruction of residences, barns and farm buildings, fen orchards and standing timber. In addition, one re- port received here sald two crude oil storage tanks in the feld of Estill County had been destroyed. The fires in Estill County, this report added, after having threatened Irvine and Ravenna and 700 oil tanks nearby, had turned in the direction of Millers Creek and threatened to menace a larger refinery there. Only a heavy rain will save large wooded' areas in Hopkins County, re- ports from Madisonville say. In McLean County two additional homes were said to have been destroyed, and fires in the Pond River and Sacramento sections continued apparently with unabated fury. In Monroe and Cumberland Countiey, Ky., and across the line in Clay County, — ' Tenn., fires continued, with damage in that section already amounting to $75,000, according to word from Tomp- kinsville. Train crews also reported outbreaks of fires in Meade County. Volunteers are fighting the flames at all points, schoolboys having been ex- cused from classes to aid in the work, and at Livermore, in McLean County, chair factories closed so workers could join the firefighters. .

It is now being distributed through about 20,000 filling stations covering one-third of the territory of the United States. About 200,000,000 gallons have been used by more than one million motorists, with complete safety and satisfaction. Recently a distressing accident occurred at an experimental plant, where a new process for the manufacture of tetra-ethyl lead, one of the constituents used in ethylizing gasoline, was under development. Tetra-ethyl lead is a poison, as are many raw materials which enter into the manufacture of harmless compounds. Ethylized gasoline consists of 1,300 parts of ordinary gasoline containing less than one part of tetra-ethyl lead. This statement is issued to make plain the all-important difference between tetra-ethyl lead, the raw material, and ethylized gasoline, the commercial product. Ethylized gasoline is more than an improved fuel, giving smoothness to the motor and eliminating knocks; it is a scientific discovery which, in its ultimate development, will contribute largely to the conservation of the world’s supply of gasoline. The dangerous charactet of tetra-ethyl lead having been recognized from the outset, exhaustive tests have been con- ducted which have established the safety of ethylized gaso- line when used properly as a motor fuel. These tests have been confirmed by the United States Bureau of Mines, which is making additional studies to de- termine whether any possible injury can result from con- tinued contact when used for other than motor purposes. Scientific data based on these studies will be submitted toany health commissioner or other public health official on request. ETHYL GASOLINE CORPORATION NEW YORK /EV'ENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
