ALCOHOL FUBL FOR HOTORS IS NEARER Tests Going on More and More Successful Washington, Nov. 15 (®—Re- newed activity of British intcrests to develop an alcoho! motor fuel which could be used in part as a substitute for gasoling in autoniobile and air- plane engines has been reported to | the dcpartment of commerce by Homer 8. Fox, American trade com- wissioner at London. One of the principal British com- panies interested in the development of alcohol for motor fuel, Distillers® Company, Ltd.. has reported its ex- periments as demgnstrating that al- cohol is twice as lefficient as benzol to prevent knocking in an internal combustion engine. The company has announced the production of a dry alcohol, which, through the use of a French process, makes possible 99 per cent absolute alcohol, which may be mixed with gasoline in any proportion. The Nipah Distilieries of Malaya, Ltd., formed this year for the pur- pose of developing alcohol as a mo- tor fuel in British Malaya. has pur- chased a 7,000 gallon alcohol pro- ducing plant from a London con- cern for. use in Malaya.

She | had offers to sell it at the time. Her | testimony as to the type of the car { which struck the dog did not coin- "cide with the testimony of other witnesses, the difference lying in ! | that she testified that the car was of a dark color and of a light type, | whereas Bogdanski's car was of & | heavy make and light brown fp| color. Versions of how the accident oc- gurred differed greatly, Wwitnesses for the plaintift stating that she | was crossing the street when the | trafic light was in her favor, while on the other hand, witnesses for the defendant testified that Mrs. Mirian was in the middle of the highway when the lights werc against her and traflic was going the other di- rection. There were two other cars to the left of Bogdanski's machine, it was testified, of a lighter make and dagk 4n color. When the traffic light wa# in his favor, Bogdanski | proceeded, keeping to his right. There were three other occupants n his car at the time and all testified that they did not hear any cries or howls. 2 Officers George Collins and Da fel J. Cosgrove, who were within | illb(l feet of the a‘cldtn& testified | |that they found Mrs. Marian in a crouched position against the traf- flc light pole, unconscious, and then 100k her to a gasoline station on the corner where water wus applicd to | her forehead until she revived. She ; was then taken home and Dr. i P. Washowitz was summoned. Ac- cording to the latter's testimony he found a slight bruise on the fore- Lead and the woman unconscious. | She regained consciousness after an hour, the doctor testitied, and he found a slight aggravation of the heart, which, he said, she was suf- fering for some time past. The woman is about 60 years old. Couusel for the plaintiff, Francis B. Keeler, trying his first civil case in the city court, brought out the fact that Bogdanski wus arrested | and.pleaded guilty in police court to reckless driving, for which he was fined, and on the basis of this, moved that the court rendér deci- sion in favor of the plaintiff, Judge Roche ruled, however, that what ever the admission might have been |in the police court, it was imma- terial in this case and would not allow the motion. Misses Mue Mistkowski and So- phie Horoszczyk, testifying for the defendant, stated that they were oc- cupants of the Bogdanski car and saw the plaintiff in the middle of the intersection standing as if wait- ing for traffic to pfiss. They also tes- tified that the car had just started after standing motionleds for a short time due to the traffic light which was against them, and that as th passed the plaintift, Bogdunski was just shifting into second speed.

Y. 15 UM—Timmy, a dog. who qualiticd in the role of baby protector in an unusual and dangerous field of med- |ical research, is today living in the glory of his successful career at the Cold Spring Harbor biological lab- ;oralor) Millions of iothers have worried about colic in their babies not be- cause it is itself exceedingly dan- gerous, but because a fatal malady called infantile tetany, at its start resembles simple colic. At its height the disease is somewhat like tetanus. It was in developing a cure or preventive for this disease that Timmy, a stray dog condemned to /be killed in Philadelphia, was sent heres | Happily he came to the skilled af |tention of Prof. W. W. Swingle .of | the University of Towa, who was do- ing the tetany research here. It was known fairly well that infantile tetany was connected with some fallure in the parathyroid glands. Their painless removal from Timmy was followed by symptoms typical of the disease. No baby could have been attend- ed more _closely than Professor {Swingle cared for the dog. It scemed evident that lack of calcium in the blood was the cause of the ! dineane, both In bables and in dogs. Timmy was brought back from treatment, and each death's door by the treatment which the research men were using at thut time—the frequent oral ad- ministration of strontium lactate. Seversl times nopped time Timmy showed marked symptoms of tetany. This proved that the strentium lac- tate was saving Timmy's life. Thus satisfied that the strontiym lactate was effective, they used it continu- ously about 40 days. Magnesium lactate and calcium lactate were aiso effective. Timmy recovered. That was some three years ago. Timmy since has grown to “manhood” as canine ages 0. and the record of his develop- ment indicates how babies, beth human and of lower order, may be expected to grow strong after the treatment. Timmy is father of several fam- ilies of pupe. His health is evident- Iy perfect, for his present master. Dr. Reginald G. Harris, director of the laboratory, says that Timmy hag fought and whipped about everything of his size in cogs in this section of Long Lsland's nerth shore.
