"Mr. B. R. Tenison said that pro- bably ten times as much alcohol as was consumed before prohibition days would eventually be utilized by the American people, albeit, they have decided to dispense with it as a beverage. In a normal year then United States drank 169,000,000 gal. long of alcohol and used approxi mately 100,000,000 gallons in the various arts.

Among the sources which could be developed is the nipa palm which flourishes in the Philippines arid other tropical countries and yields, | said Mr. Tunison, ahout 15 per cent.. of sugar which could be fermented. From that source alone 50,000,000 gallons a year could easily bo produced. The Mexicans brew a fiery beer from the sotol plant, a variety of agave which exists in very large quantities in their country from which millions of gallons could be distilled. By changing the cellu lose of sawdust and other wood waste into sugar and then fermenting that substance, plenty more alcohol can also be obtained. It is identical with that derived from grain and is quite different from the methyl or Do-called wood alcohol of the Pink Elephant' brand, which is made by another process. Considerable alcohol can also be derived from the waste of gas works
