Dr. Berl said. for example, the . sugar cane. planted on 2.1 per cent of the available crop lands in the United States, could produce as much gasoline as the 32,000,000 cars in the country used in i040.

The process is not limited to sugar. 1t will make coal or gasoline at will from Sorghum. sweet t- atoes, ccmstalks and uiany o er farm crops, from grass, leaves, Irish Moss, seaweed, wood and sa. ust.

The synthetic coals, Dr. Berl said, ignite much quicker and burn faster than natural bituminous coal They contain less sulphur. They make both porous coke fol‘ blast furnaces and dense coke for foundarles.

The process comes from a study Dr. Berl started l8 years ago to find out how nature made coal and oil. He believes he has solved this chemical fimblem.

Dr. Ber in the first Great War was chief chemist for the Austro- Hungarlan war industry.
