FUEL PROBLEM MAY BE SOLVED BY USE OF PEAT

Government Urges Preparation and Storage of Heat Fuel for Winter. WASHINGTON. June 28. "Burn peat!" This is the advice of the United States Geological Survey to Indlanians who are harassed by the scarcity and high price of coal. The possbilities of using peat as a fuel are brought out as the result of a thorough investigation into the subject by C. C. Osbon, an expert of the geological survey. "The time is now ripe to prepare and store peat fuel," says the survey. The people of Rome states have this new fuel supply right at their doors without knowing it. The survey's announcement throws an interesting light on this matter. It says: "Vast deposits of peat that could be converted into fuel are found throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, New York and the New England states, and in the northern parts of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Many peat beds occur also ou the Atlantic coastal plain from New Jersey to southern Florida and westward along the gulf to the Mexican boundary. "The preparation and storage in farming communities and villages of peat fuel taken from these deposits by the owners of small bogs and by citizens' associations for distribution among their members would not only increase the local fuel supply and in many localities prevent a recurrence of the suffering caused by our recent coal shortage, but would release railroad cars that will be vitally needed for other purposes." Valuable instructions are given as to the correct method of preparing peat for fuel. Peat consists of partly decayed plant remains that contain enough carbon to ignite and burn freely when dry. In texture It ranges from a fibrous, imperfectly decayed kind, through successive degrees of decomposition, to a thoroughly disintegrated type and varies correspondingly in color from light yellow to jet black. Peat in an undrained bog contains about 90 percent of water, which must be reduced to 30 percent before it can be used for fuel. The season for drying peat begins about April 15, or as soon as the frost is out of the ground, and ends in September, except in the southern peat region, where it is somewhat longer. Owing to the difficulty, because of war

conditions, of securing peat-fuel machines for operation this year, it is stated that peat intended for use next winter will have to be prepared either by hand or by existing machinery that can be readily converted to use for producing peat fuel.

The Vesta Battery is the most satisfactory automobile storage battery made today because more constructive thought and improved features enter into its make-up than any other automobile battery. These features do not enter into any other battery made. They are exclusive Vesta features. All of them are patented. No other battery manufacturer can use a single one of them. They are responsible for the EXTRA long life and EXTRA satisfactory service given by all Vesta Batteries. Chief among them are : 1. The Vesta Indestructible Isolator an ingenious device which locks the plates apart and prevents short circuits. 2. Vesta Impregnated Wooden Mats which prevent "treeing" and its disastrous consequences. 3. Titanium a rare mineral which enters into the lead plates, hardening them and giving them longer life. It precipitates minerals and impurities in solution, thus increasing the efficiency of the battery.

4. The Vesta Poro-Hard Plate a plate which is hard and extra durable, but because of its exceptional porosity gives unusual capacity. These remarkable features are covered by U. S. Basic Patents, the property of the Vesta Accumulator Co. No other battery has them. The Vesta Battery has been adopted by the U. S. Government for the Liberty Motors. What better endorsement could you want? And yet a Vesta costs no more than an ordinary battery. Motorists should bear in mind that any make of battery repaired at our service station practically becomes a Vesta Battery in so far as the repairs entail the use of the Vesta patented features which have made the Vesta Battery so unusually successful. The weak points in other makes are re

placed with Vesta materials and Vesta patented features. A Vesta Repair is always a Dependable Repair
