CRUDE OIL AS A FUEL. 



By Edward Kemp, Jr., '15. 



The development of the internal com- 

 bustion engine during the past few years 

 has made the fuel problem a serious one. 

 The many advantages of this type of 

 motor assure its complete supremacy for 

 some time to come for small units such 

 as automobiles, motor boats and aero- 

 planes, if a sufficient quantity of cheap 

 and satisfactory fuel can be secured. The 

 number of motor cars each year is in- 

 creasing surprisingly, and each little car 

 must have its supply of fuel. Not only 

 motor cars, but also motor boats are be- 

 coming yearly more numerous. Aero- 

 planes as 3^et have not increased in suf- 

 ficient numbers to affect the fuel sup- 

 ply, but we may have reason to believe 

 that they will increase in the near future 

 and so make the demand for fuel more 

 urgent.
