PHILLIPS PATENT
. FOR AUTOMOBILES
PERFECTION CLAIMED IN AIR
COOLING
Experts Praise the PoIiceman's inven-
tion--Attention Of Investors At
tracted to the Wonder
Mechanism

Ross G. Phillips. well known member
of the Los Angeles police force. has
been in the limelight Of automobile
owners and manufacturers ever since
he demonstrated the value and sim
plicity of his new motor car, a machine
that is claimed to be the equal of the
best automobiles ON the market. Ex-
perts who have inspected the new car
and it's mechanism assert that the new
features are entirely practical and will
meet with universal approval.
Air-cooling is leading point OF
merit in Phillips new car. He appears
to have attained perfection in this fea-
ture of the machine
Phillips air-cooling is marked de-
parture from the other methods. High
ly polished annular rings of copper are
used around the cylinders, each per-
forated irregularly to prevent the
pocketing of the air and assuring cir
culation. The rings are dished upward,
and in his experiments Phillips has run
an engine for six continuous hours in
a close room without the least signs
Of heating.
The engine and transmission COM
prising the entire power plant are con-
structed as self-contained unit, pro-
tected by a. single dust-proof case.
There are no working points outside the
case. Perfect alignment of bearings and
all the advantages of three-point sus-
pension without any of the extra
weight are claimed.
Three cylinders are used in the
Model B car, 1-4-inch bore by 5-inch
stroke. Each piston has three rings and
is provided with oil grooves The con-
Meeting rod is protected by basic pat
ents issued to Mr.. Phillips, and is
of special nickel steel, with device
for taking up wear and renewing
brasses readily. Hollow wrist pins with
central oil pocket providing sure lu-
brication. are provided. The connecting
rod bearing has been frightened in one
minute, stopping and starting included
A special nickel steel crank shaft
making six bearings and practically Sc
cure against any breakages, is EN-
ployed to achieve smoothness of rum
ming. Transmission gears are forged
upon 1t. The gear faces are an inch and
a half broad and are proof against
stripping. The cam-shaft is inside the
case and operates valves located on the
same side of the cylinder.
Exclusive Features
An exclusive feature Is the construc-
ton OF the crank case and shaft, per-
hitting the withdrawal or insertion OF
the latter with Its bearings longitudin-
ally, together with the cam-shaft
Neither of these interferes with this
other.
A thirty-inch air fan on the fly wheel
forces draft against the cylinders and
tends to defect the dust under the body
and insures more comfortable riding.

mo and dry cell system whereby the cells

Stone
Special to The Herald.

5PtUIHI 10 Ihe itIHIus
DANBURY, Conn, Jan. 27.-Miss
Lucy Landsiedel, a pretty eighteen
year-old girl of Great Plain, had a
thrilling adventure with giant white
owl yesterday. The owl measured six
feet from tip to tip.
Miss Landsiedel went into the poultry
yard to feed some chickens and found
the huge bird there. 1t was dusk and
the owl was able to see plainly. This
1t evlnced by advancing on the girl
instead of taking flight
Miss Landsiedel, unable to get away
snatched up a handful of stones. ana
with one of these she wounded the owls
wings. Then, having disabled the big
bird, she ran to the house where she
got her brothers rifle and with this
she shot the owl.
