New Aviation Fuel A War-winner
! Received Sunday, 7.60 p.m. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2S. New aviation fuel now in quantity production iu the United States may shorten the war by giving the Allies 1 aerial superiority. The president of j the American Institute of Chemists, ! Dr. Gustav Egloff, and two Russiau chemists in America, have developed j a new fuel which is called triptane. It will enable planes to fly higher | and faster and carry heavier armour ! and greater bomb loads. Triptane contains so much power that its maximum use makes the present plane engines obsolete. Dr. Egloff says the only change necessary is to make the engine cylinders smaller and heavier.
