What to Do with the Distilleries

JUST a suggestion: In the enormous and accelerating increase of automobiles, auto-trucks, motorcycles, and their like, it is greatly feared that the supply of gasoline will run short. Why not supply denatured alcohol? It can be made cheaper than the pure spirits, made of anything that contains starch and sugar, made at a profit so as to compete with gasoline. There is no government duty on denatured alcohol, and it can be made for from eight to twelve cents a gallon. Use the distilleries to help along in life rather than to hinder; to help lift burdens and carry loads rather than to make them.
