TWITCHELL GAUGE NOW
ENTERS AIRSHIP FIELD

The Twitchell air gauge has entered
upon a new field, and has become a
necessary part of the equipment of all
Of the prominent aviators abroad.
James Garvey, who spent the past
nine months in Great Britain and sew
eral of the continental countries, tells
some interesting facts concerning the
adaptation of this little instrument to
the use of the aeroplanes.
When in Paris, GarYey visited the
Bleriot company's plant, where upward
Of 600 machines are being built annu
ally, and there studied the problem of
the planes and their landings. At the
great aviation meet held at Rheims a
number of the aviators had secured the
air gauges, and after their trial became
convinced that it was a necessary ad-
iunct to every machine, for the reason
that the proper imitation and pressure
upon the tires assisted largely in safe
and successful landing without the jar
and pounding on alighting with i'm
properly inflated or overloaded tires.
The result was an order from the
Bleriot people for 600 of the TWitchells
upon a special design, these being
smaller than the regular or standard
size used for automobiles, and is one
of the neatest Of all the patterns turned
out.
Later Mr.. Garvey attended the still
more noted meet held at Lanark in
Scotland, where the American, DreXel,
established the world record for height,
but which since has been taken from
him by Cattaneo, the italian man-bird,
and the entire flock Of men-birds at
that meet attested the value Of the Los
Angeles product in making a better
landing than without, or guess work as
to air pressure in their plane tires.

RANCHER LURED
BY SIGHT. OF CAR
South Dakotan Leaves His Home
Suddenly and Returns with
Buick Model F
GAS REPLACES FARM HORSES
Farmer Says His First Auto Ride
Produced Most Peculiar
Sensation
GAS REPLACES FARM HORSES

Until few days ago A. H. Henry,
"a years DID, a ranchman of Ola, S.
D., had never ridden in a railroad
train or in an automobile. In fact he
had seen but one automobile, and the
sight of one proved his undoing, for
he has forsaken the horse for the
motor.
Henry rode from his home, distance
of about twenty miles, to the railroad
in a Buick last week, took the train to
Minneapolis where he purchased a
Buick Model F from the Pence Auto
mobile company.
He is a prosperous rancher in the
Indian reservation country in South
Dakota, and has been so engrossed
with his work that he never Travelled
more than fifteen miles east of his
home before. He is well to do and
has good business ability. His first
ride in an automobile was in Buick
Model f, and he states that his only
reason for buying one was that it pro-
duced the most peculiar sensation he
had ever known.
After boarding the train in the after
noon, Henry remarked that he would
like to buy a train if he had any
place to run 1t because he thought 1t
would be better in bad weather. He
had berth in the sleeper, but refused
to go to bed, stating that he desired
to see all that he could see while he
was going.
Upon purchasing the car he was
taught to operate it, and proved very
apt. Taking his newly purchased ma
chine, he started back home across
country with a more experienced driver
as a passenger.
The latest report from Henry is that
he reached his home safely and has
succeeded in frightening the life out of
about half the livestock with his new
tangled" wonder.

1871 REQ SETS WORLD
PACE At MT. HAMILTON
4-3O Car, with G. J. Thomas at
the Wheel, Climbs 4200
Feet in Dense Fog

SAN JOSE, Sept. 24.-Another
worlds record has been won by the
1911 REQ "4-SO" with G. j. Thomas at
the wheel. This was strenuous and
dangerous climb up Mt. Hamilton in
Santa Clara county, covering a dis
tance of 24.5 miles at an altitude of
1900 feet. The time made by Thomas
was one hour and five minutes, thus
beating the previous worlds record of
one hour and fifteen minutes by ten
minutes. Thomas claims that he could
easily have clippe1 the previous rec
ord by over thirty minutes but for the
dense fog and rain which he enCOun-
tered on the last seven miles of the
run.
1t is noteworthy that this feat was
accomplished with The regular REQ tire
equipment without chains. This makes
the third worlds record which the REQ
has captured since l.. L. Whitman FIN
ished his sensational New York to
Frisco run August 1S in ten days, fif
teen hours and thirteen minutes, which
was four days, ten hours and fifty
nine minutes faster than the previous
cross-continent record. The other two
worlds records which the REQ now
holds are from New York to Los An
geles and the double cross-cOntinent
run made IN IWO-cyllndef leo ~
by Percy f. Megargel in the fall and
winter of 1866.
Following so closely the Reo's brill
liant performance n the recent Kan
sas City endurance run; its consistent
record for reliability in the Wisconsin
and Minnesota endurance runs and
last, but by no means least, the en-
viable distinction which it won as an
official car in the last car-smashing
Glidden tour, it locks as if Americas
best cars will have some serious reck-
oning to do during 1911 in competing
with this husky, lively and popular
priced car. The REQ has recently been
performing most creditably neck and
neck with cars selling for more than
double and three times its price.
Transmississippi motorists are more
than ever enthusiastic over the Reo's
reliability, speed, power and hardihood.

USE CONFETTI To DRY
MUDDY SPOTS IN ROAD

While the use of confetti as a road
making material is never likely to be-
come general, the fact remains that
about a bushel of the paper strips used
to mark out the way for the recent
reliability run of the Automobile club
of Buffalo, enabled the cars contesting
in that event to get through several
spots which would otherwise have re-
quired considerable delay.
The Buffalo tourists ran into some
very rainy weather AS a large por-
tion of the course was over clay roads,
tremely unfavorable. In its task of
preceding the tour over its daily
course, the EMF $50" pilot car en-
countered several bog holes into which
it sank up to the running boards. Each
time, after successfully bucking the
obstacle, Pilot D. H. Lewis sent back
the distributor to dump a liberal guam
tity of confetti into the hole. The
scheme worked well and it was the
unanimous opinion of the drivers who
followed that, but for the foresight of
the pilot car many of the contestants
would have required the help of
couple of horsepower out in front at
the end of a chain, before making the
passage.
Beside introducing the AFORESAID nov
city, the EMF $50" pilot car won dis
tinction in being, in all probability, the
first vehicle assigned to such duty, in
which the driver was a bridegroom of
that very week.
George Crist of Detroit. who had
postponed his wedding day several
weeks ago to pilot an EMF ''30' in
the Munsey Historic tour, refused to
allow another road assignment to In
terfere with his delayed plans. AS
result he was joined in Buffalo the day
before the run by Miss Evelyn Sincule
Of Detroit, and the two were married,
Mrs. Crist remaining in Buffalo during
the week of the tour.

Los Angeles Man Solves Difficult
Problem of Cooling Large
Motor Cylinders

A gas engine cylinder up to four

and more powerful engines are in de-
mand, and the large cylinders do not
cool so readily.
Quite a few engineers have been
working on the problem of large air.
cooled motors, but it has remained for
a Los Angeles man to be the first in
the field with a perfected engine, DR..
Charles w. Snyder, who has an inter-
national reputation in technical me-
chanics, and who is a frequent con-
tributor to The Herald on the mechan-
ical parts Of automobiles, has recently
applied for and received. patents to
cover the new method of air cooling
the largest sized engine.
The accompanying cut shows Mid
dleby engine which has been designed.
The auxiliary exhaust, port c, has
been extended so that 1t has an actual
opening of four inches on the circum-
ference of the cylinder, and the valve
controlling this port has been so modi-
fed that there is as little resistance
as possible offered to the rush of the
escaping exhaust
The overhead valve A is made to
open twenty-five degrees before cen
ter, and remains open until the end
of the exhaust stroke.
In operation. as the piston uncovers
the auxiliary port c, the gas is driven
through this port at great speed, so
that at the time the port Is open 1892
of an inch all the exhaust has left the
cylinder This rushing column of gas
cannot be stopped instantly, but goes
on and produces a vacuum within the
cylinder, which vacuum as shown by
indicator cards is from eight to ten
pounds At the time this vacuum is
at its maximum-twenty-f degrees
before lower center-the valve A in the
cylinder head is opened and air rushes
through the "breather" B into and
through the cylinder. This air is
passing through the cylinder nearly
one-fourth Of each revolution.
The result is that the engine is per-
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-25

fectly scavenged, the hot gas being
removed instantly as soon as it's work
is done, SO that it is in contact with
the cylinder walls less than one-fourth
the time. The air drawn through the
cylinder has a marked tendency for
keeping it cool, and at the same time
removes the dead gas so that each
charge is of better material, thus in
creasing the power air externally, in
ternally and eternally, and to a GER
tainty will keep a motor cool.
DR.. Snyder has solved a very diff
cult problem and one that will mean
much to the automobile industry.

RAISE BONUS TO
BUILD RAILROAD
Washington County Citizens
Pledge Themselves to
Collect 500,

An sctive campaign has been started
IN Washington county to raise bonus
of 100000 among the citizens to be used
as an inducement for Frank Dudley to
build a branch road from q point near
Bellevue 60 st. George. there TO con-
meet with the proposed road from
Lund. on the Salt Lake Route TO Grand
canyon
An enthusiastic meeting of the rail-
road committee Of the Washington
County Commercial club was held a few
days ago to arouse interest IN the pro-
1ect. and much encouragement is now
held out.
The idea is to have the citizens of
Washington county raise a bonus OF
100000, and also srant free rights of
way, depot sites, etc. The matter was
well under way last winter when the
main line of the Salt Lake Route
through Meadow Valley wash was
washed out, but has since hung fire in
the hope that the new main line of the
system would be through Bellevue and
st. George.
Those in attendance at the recent con-
ference signed an agreement pledgin9
themselves to assist In raising the
bonus, and no difficulty is anticIpated
In securing the entire amount necessary
Under the conditions of the agreement
work on the branch line is to start
within two years, and be completed
through to the Grand canyon within
five years.

THAT GEORGIA FAMILY.

A local contemporary challenges
the Herald's statement that it has
just received a car load of print
paper 1t is matter of absolute in
difference to the Herald what its
neighbor half way between old and new
town thinks, says or suspicious, but
to those few readers who might be
led to think the Herald has made a
false statement the facts are given.
The Herald bought solid car load
of paper, to weigh approximately go
600 pounds, through the Southwestern
Paper company, to be shipped direct
from the eastern mill. In excess of
this weight, ordered by this paper,
a small amount of paper was included
for a Carthage paper and small lot
for the Palestine paper. The car was
billed to the Herald as follows:
The Herald, 1900 reams, or $4,000
pounds.
Carthage paper, so reams.
Visitor, 140 reams.
OF course we have the bills show
ing the above facts.
But about that Georgia family: It
is a matter of history, you know, that
an entire family in that state became
exceedingly prosperous once upon a
time by attending to its own bust
ness. And it is most excellent vir-
tue, one the Herald commends to its
neighbor as being worthy of emula
ton. By attending to it's own bust
ness all the time the Herald has built
up prosperous business, enabling it
to install a Linotype machine and
other modern machinery and equip
ment, and enabling it to buy paper in
car lots

the materialistic idea that what
will it profit?" should be the meas
ure of all effort.
The above sentiment is embodied
IN an editorial in the San Antonio
Express urging on it's people the
need for more earnest effort in the
building of a greater and stronger
city. The truth applies to all cities
and to all peoples. No great enter
prise for a community has been built
on selfishneSs; it takes courage and
broadmindedness to accomplish re-
suits. The man. who as a public Of
ficer, is guided by the sole question
of what will it profit, is unfit to
serve people. The greatest good to
the greatest number and the best pos
siDle is the least a man can do who
is serving publicly.
