Joseph Grundy has been a
railroad man all his life. When
he got into his sixties the rail-
road, on which he had been
employed since his youth, re-
tired him.
But Mr. Grundy didn’t like
being retired. He felt full of
pep and health and began look-
ing around for another job.
At the age of 69 he landed
one — with the Ford Motor
Company. That was 18 years
ago, and he’s been there ever
since. Not for a hobby, either
his own or Henry Ford’s; nor
for charity, nor does he collect
a dole. He puts in full work
time at the north end of th&
switching yard.
And does Mr. Grundy want
to be retired now, as he nears
his 87th birthday?
He says emphatically, no.
He also says he’s glad he
landed with a company that
doesn’t have any blanket re-
tirement age. •

Farm Refuse Used
In ^Gas’ for China
Chungking, China.—A new syn-
thetic gasoline, which eventually
may help to solve China’s acute
transportation problem, has been
discovered by Prof. Li Ki-wei,
dean of the National Yunnan Uni-
versity. The gas is made of agri-
cultural refuse and by-products.
During experiments Professor
Li’s fuel showed a serviceability
20 per cent higher than natural
gasoline. It is colorless, after
bleaching, and has the same smell
and specific gravity as gasoline.
It has a lower ignition point, a
higher British thermal unit, and
is devoid of corrosive elements.
Professor Li estimates that his
fuel can be produced at a cost of
about $8 or $10 (Chinese, about
40 to 50 cents U. S.) per gallon,
whereas natural gasoline costs
$20 per gallon, or about $1 U. S.
The one real drawback seems
to be that the new fuel takes a
month to produce. Professor Li
is seeking a new method of pro-
duction which will enable manu-
facture in less time.
To date the artificial fuel has
not been produced commercially,
but only in laboratories.
