items as Expenses and directed that
the company should discontinue the
practice, and likewise refrain from
making cash ontributions for charit
able institutions.

First Gas Engine a Two-cycIe

1T is not generally known that the first
gas engine manufactured for public use
was made In France in 1860 by Lenoir
and was a two-cycle engine. several hum
dred of them being manufactured. The
Lenoir style of engine Is now obsolete, as
1t did not compress its charge before
ignition and was therefore very inef-
ficient. This engine sucked a charge into
the cylinder for one-half of the piston
stroke. At this point the charge was
ignited anG expanded, giving an impulse
to the piston in the last half of this
stroke. The return stroke forced out the
exhaust,
today especially in automobiles and
used because of its extreme simplicity,
reliability and compactness. In this type
the charge is sucked into the crank case
through a port or valve by the upstroke
Of the piston. 1t is partly compressed in
the crank case by the return, or power
stroke, of the piston. Near the end of
this stroke the piston passes over and
opens, first the exhaust ports, releasing
the exhaust above atmospheric pressure,
then Immediately after opening the inlet
or transfer ports. The compressed charge
in the crank chamber is then released
through these inlet ports into the cylin-
der expelling the remaining exhaust.
The upstroke of the piston congresses
this charge and the ignition occurs near
the upper end of this stroke. Seventy
five per cent of all small, American built
motor launches are equipped with this
type of two-cyce engine.

MORAN IS
CHALLENGED
ENGLISH FIGHTER is A NATURE
FAKER, SAY coUNTRYMEN
comp1triots of AtteIl's Twin Refuse Il
Support owen and Say That
DriscoIl Is Real National
Champion

With little juggling Of the good old
saw it is apropos to say that a fighter
is not without honor save in his own
land.
The pugilist to whom this plagiarism APP
plies is no other than Owen Moran, and
upon the assertions of his own country
men is this story based. The bellicose
subject of John Bull is being attacked
by the regular coterie of reputation de-
stroyers who usually assail fame with
divers and supdry libels.
The substance of these charges is that
Ownie is not the featherweight champeen
of his native heath and Is not entitled to
the considerations of the fighting public
In this capacity. The compatriots of
Moran concede this office to Jimmy Drls-
COLL who captured the title thlrd-handed
from the pugillstic twin of Able after
defeating Joe Bowker, who Is said to
nave wrested away Moran's claims to the
title three years ago.
Despite the fact that the little scrap
per from the miser isle Is the only one
OF his trip TO make even a creditable
showing at this end Of the gangplank.
Engllshmen refuse to accept Moran as
even a fair sample of the countrys
product and constantly sing a combina-
tion of dscords about waiting until Dris-
coll comes
Well all the supporters of the grand old
screaming eagle have to say is that they
are waiting and until this new one ar
rlves Americans will forget Owens fam
lily skeletons and accept him at his face
value. Uncle Sam will also forget Mo-
rams hated rival until his favorable APP
pearance is noted.
The hghing game is full of yagaries,
yet in 1t every man gets his due. Moran
has done what no other representative of
his land has ever done and what no
other battler of his class has accom-
plished regardless of his descent or pedi-
gree Moran may be a second rater but
he hasn't shown the earmarks as yet.
If Drscoll rightly deserves his national
title now is an opportune tint to COM
pare notes with the aspirants over here.
If Englishmen hold in any regard the
possession of a pugllistic belt they would
show thrift by supporting their candidate,
who has shown the most LIKELIHOOD OF
anneXing this article of apparel.
On the other hand, the girdle is not yet
gone. Perhaps the tine Is not even near
for Its departure. Able is considerable of
a teaser and his coaxing runs In thrifty
channels. The tinge of speculation has
many times been the cause for seeming
underestimatlon of self by the Hebrew
boxer and the fact is plainly evident that
a draw brings larger pilgrimage to a
return match than a victory at first trial
Many followers Of the fstic mill will
hearken to nothing else but this version
of the international surprise perpetrated
by Attell and Moran, but there is almost
as great a following who are convinced
that the inevitable time is at last at
hand when another fighter is to join the
everchanging line of candidates for pub
uc salaam.

AutomObi1ing
Prepare for Hill Climb

The committee in charge of the Alta
dena hill climb are rapidly perfecting ar
rangements for the successful culmina-
ton of that event, which will, as usual
be held on Washington's birthday.
The course will be put in the best pos
eible condition. the Altadena Improve
ment association cooperating. as 1t has
In the past, with the auto association.
Some method will be adopted to avoid
the bad hump at the railroad crossing,
halfway up the grade by he building
of a substantial viaduct or other equally
efficient cross-over. The railway com
pany has consented TO stop passing of
cars over that street during the progress
of the contest so the danger encountered
heretofore will be eliminated.
With clear weather. usually the rule at
that time, an enormous crowd is expected
1t has been suggested to the officials
of the dealers association that 1t might
be a good plan to hold an informal show
of automobiles at the lower end of the
grade preliminary to the contest. AS
there is not to be a show in Los Angeles
It would afford the opportunity for the
public to see the machines and would
entail the minimum of expense upon the
dealers with the certainty of large
crowd.
The committee has taken the matter
under advisement and will give it Its con-
sideration.
Tuesday night. January /. the dealers
will give a banquet to the rubber men
of the trade at Levy's and a fine spread
and most enjoyable time are anticipated.
Covers will be laid for about seventy-five
and the rubber men will be the guests to
whom all will do honor.
Excellent music has been arranged and
there are several clever speciality stunts
for the evening.
AS the dealers have received numerous
courtesies from the rubber men the af-
fair will be in the nature of an express
sion of cordial good will existing among
the automobile men of Los Angeles.
