ALCOHOL FOR GASOLINE.
We need not worry over the grow
lug scarcity of gasoline. says Dr. A. D.

alcohol would soon bet time a practica-
ble substitute.
“There is no longer any question."
he said. “of commercial success in the
unanufacture of alcohol for automo-
biles Experiments have shown that
ulcohol can be made for as low as 25
cents a gallon. and at that price it
will undoubtedly be preferable to gas-
oline. Alcohol will not develop quiteIl
\
M) much horsepower, but it in cleaner;l
and it is safer. because it will not so

iiuut. hitherto a waste product. has be-
come a profitable industry. It 1- being

Wilmington chemist. says that there is
ntili enough material going to waste
in that district to make 600.000 gal-
lons of alcohol a day.

ANOTHER ANTI-VACCINE
TRIUMPH. "
At last the infantile paralysis prob-
lem it- solved. The cause of this «mal-
ndy is as plain an day. Vacclnlf'ion is
responsible for it! The secretary of
the antiVacclnntiou League polntII
out that nearly all the children unit.

iii
tinted. or at least “exposed to per-
sons who had been.” That settles it;

don't explain how the disease happen-
ed to become epidemic in one particu-
lar community. Was vaccination.
more general in and around New
York city than elsewhere? But an
onti-vaccinntlonist doesn't have to ex
plain anything in detail. it isn't hisI
business to array evidence in a acien-'
title and logical manner. He works byi
another
inspiration.
There are those who will take issue
however. with these gifted problem-
solvers. The antl-tobacconists hold
that tobacco is the cause of the child
paralysis. And their reasoning. too,
is based on the observable fact that
nearly all the victims had been ex
posed to tobacco smoke.I These prolr
lemuolvers, too, neglect to explain
why the epidemic'was localized. and
why it isn't prevalent. in communities
that use more tobacco than New York
does. But what of that? Why look a
gift theory in the mouth?
By thenamo line of argument. we
might deduce that infantile paralysis
is caused by drinking milk. Nearly
all the victims were milk-drinkers.

General Frost said in part:
“What i am about to say will relate
to transactions which came up be-
tween the building inspeotpg and Fred-
erick C. Cullen. in the first place, Mr.
Cullen did some work for the locker
Foundry Company. He installed a
motor and two ground wires. Accord
lug to the code. it is required that
there be a ground from the metal
and one from the T. wire in the motal
conduit. Mr. Cullen ran a wire train
the middle of the conduit to outside
and then made another ground from
the middle of a waterpipe. Mr. [Finch
refused to pass the work and claimed
that there should be tart. separate
lgroundc. Cullen being satisfied that
the code appealed to Ralph 8 ceiling..
of the National Board of fir Under-
writers. who tinned bio decision.
When this was brought to Nash’s at-
tention. he gave a reluctant consent

pealed to Cullen who in turn. explained
the situation to Mayor Carl Axel liar
strum. The mayor spoke to Mr. Finch
and the latter passed the work."
Timothy Maher. of Golden Hill. was
the next example quoted by General
Frost. (.‘ullen had a contract with
Mahcr to wire the latter'a home. The.
work was finished on September 16.
and the meter was put in. After in
:specting the work. Mr. Finch said that
.it was wrong and turned the switch
Iol'f and took out the meter. Maher
complained to Cullen, who took it up
with the mayor. and finally Mr. Win
cheater, of the Electric Light Works,
was instructed to install a meter. This
was done and the house is still bola!
lighted through this method. and
Finch has not. matted upon the work.
The can of John Montgomery was
the next about which a dispute arose.
in this instance Mr. Finch refused to
tell what the defect was and the mayor
was again appealed to. and Finch
finally told what the trouble was.
Mr. (‘ullen installed a motor and
switch in the Holy Ghost F‘atbera'
Chapel. which was to be used in the
pumping of water. Finch" upon in-
spection. objected to the awltch and.

Attorney Leo Davis. in behalf of hint
Cullen. said that his client refused to
answer the charges unless they be put
in writing and presented formally to
the Council. Mr. Davis continued:
"When Finch was appointed as
Building inspector. he did not know
anything about electricity. Later he
was given charge of the issuing of
wiring permits. Up to Mr. Cullen's
complaint. Mr. Finch bod issued over
1.200 permits and had no complaints.
In some cases the City Ordinance
goes further than the code and he
may have used this as his code for
the proper'lnstallstion of wiring"
General Frost again took the door
and said that he did not care to press
formal complaint against Mr. Finch,
but thought that there should be some
remedy for this matter. such as the
separating of the two ofllces, building
inspector and electrical inspector. and
by putting a competent man in each
office. He then suggested that the
Council take no action for Lie present.
