VOTERS’ LEAGUE WILL CHOOSE 12 GREATEST WOMEN National Committee Will Undertake to Decide Vexing Question. By United Xetci , WASHINGTON, Sept). 29.—The twelve greatest living American women are to be chosen at last. -A. meeting of a special sub-com-mittee of the National League of Women Voters, under whose ospices this vexatious question'was submitted to the American people, is to be held todsSr in Washington. At this meeting, under the direction of Miss Lida Halford of the General Federation of Wqmen's Clubs, a board of judges comprising five men and five women Is expected to be formed and its persornel made public. The board of judges Is expected to get' under way at the earliest possible date, for the job of selecting America's greatest dozen women has become mor© difficult as the months elapsed since first Mrs. Maud Wood Park, on bebralf of the league, broadcast this question, late last spring. Although thousands of letters and clippings suggesting desirable names for" this living feminine hall of fame have reached league headquarters here throughout the summer, only 120. names have been sifted out of this mass of communications. In otlyr words, league offic.als believe that the American people have a better Idea of who are the greatest living American women than was hitherto supposed. Cf this 120, some names have been suggested which are practically unknown, and others are extremely well knywn. Between these two extremes, the board of judges will have to choose. Invention Ends Peril in Exhaust of Gas Fumes By JfEA Service Wilmington, DeT., sept. 29. j Peril of carbon-monoxide gas poison-j ing from the exhausts of automobiles ■will be eliminated with use of a ma- | chine Invented by Guy B. Taylor, ! chemist of thq Dupont company, and i H. S. Taylor, associate professor of I chemistry at Princeton University. Announcement of this invention has been made by the American Chemical Society. The machine is de-! signed for the detection of deadly j gasses. It is applicable especially to j automobile exhaust. Carbon-monoxide gas has been the ; cause of death to many a motorist. ; Working on the engine, with the ga- j rage shut against fresh air, the mo- j torist would be quickly overcome by j the fumes. The gas Is especially j dangerous In that It cannot be detected by the senses. The new machine, it is said, not only detects the gas. but records it continuously while there Is the faintest sign of it in the air.

SUBSTITUTES FOB GASOLINE STILL FDOLS GULLIBLE Scientists Have as Yet Found] No Practical Motor Car Fuel * to Supplant Petrol. By XEA Service NEW YORK. feept. 29.—Substi- | tutes for gasoline are still being used | to relieve millions of the gullible of j their life earnings. That the number of victims has not been reduced, In spite of recent disclosures, is maintained by Dr. Ray- j mond F. Bacon, formerly head of the I Mellon Institute of Industrial Re-1 search of Pittsburgh. “In investigations of methods of | ■ charlatans and crack-brained lnven-1 tors in the petroleum field,” said Dr. Bacon, “It has been generally found that whatever motor fuel there was produced was put Into the apparatus by some slight-of-hand process.” Peat Fuel Motor fuel from peat has been the most popular goal of inventors. A useful oil can undoubtedly be obtained from peat, is Dr. Bacon's view, but It would cost several dollars a gallon. This has been the chief bait for the gullible and many have been caught in the net. Other kinds of fuel also have be*n “discovered,'' but they have all turned out to be Impracticable or sheer frauds. "Some of the inventors of gasoline processes foist upon the public a mixture of kerosene to which is added a little ether. The effect of the ether Is to give a quicker ignition, but as this fluid is very costly, motor fuel of this kind really costs more than gasoline. Chance for Change "Undoubtedly, cheaper substitutes for gasoline will be made eventually. At the present tme ther are mixtures of alcohol and tar oils which, although more expensive than gasoj line, have many good qualities. “It should be borne in mind that all the large petroleum refining companies are spending many thousands ] of dollars In research work to find a ] lower priced motor fuel. Any lnven- ] tor could Interest the large corpora tions and reap a rich reward in royal-' ties if he could Convince then that ] his process would make gasoline at 18 or 20 cents a gallon. “Any person who is considering the purchase of the "patent rights of a processs for making cheap gasoline would do well to consult a petroleum chemist.”

GERMANDEGLARLS MOTORS INDICATE PUWEROF NATION Development of Automobile Plays Significant Part in Progress of America. “If one had been more concerned about the United States and known I more about Its glgantlo power, It Is ! possible that things would have been ! different from what they are now,” | says Dr. R. Allmers of Bremen, Germany. Dr. Allmers points out that the development of motor transportation has had a significant part in America's development and suggests that a stimulation of the Industry thera would help his country to economic recovery. “Now that the Fatherland is pov-erty-stricken,” says Dr. Allmers, “the task for us men of deeds is to build it up again. In this connection it can be of usefulness to, know by a closer survey of conditions in the automobile industry, that a large field for development is still open to us Germans. “But the statesman also can learn of the great economical significance which this medium of transportation las, despite the fact that such s:; nifleance is not generally realized ind what he must do in order no, o obstruct it, hut rather to encou. age its development.”
