THE ESSENTIAL FEATURE
OF THE DIESEL ENGINE

IN the course of a paper recently
read by him at Berlin. Dr. Diesel de
MED that the essential feature of the
Diesel process was the auto-i gnition
Of the fuel He stated that motors
in which the auto-ignition of the
fuel took place We're In use before the
Diesel process came into being; in
deed, he had never laid a claim to au-
to-igni ton in any of his patents. What
he was aiming at was a process in
which heat was utilized to the highest
possible extent, and auto-ignition be
came embodied in the process Incl
dentally during the evolution of the
design. THE height of compression,
said DR.. Diesel, was not determined
by the ignition limits of the fuel but
solely by the endeavor to obtain the
highest possible figure for econamical
fuel utilization. n.''-Scientific America

Grand RapldS, Wisconsin.
Editor Grand Rapids Tribune"
Dear Sir;-In your paper of the
End inst. you printed an article re
lang to the basket ball game between
Grand Rapids High School and Ste
Vens Point Normal. Where you re-
ceived that bunk" we do not know.
You certainly did great injustice to
the boys taking part, and more than
that, to the school supported by the
city of which you are supposed to
be a citizen. The remarks you made
We're not true, and if you had been
at the game, you would not have per.
mitted the publication of such an ar
ticle.
No such statements affecting the
honor of our school ought to be pub
Hshed without due investigation.
We condemn the article published
by you as untrue and resent such as
sertions based on no facts as injurious
to the welfare and standing of our
school
We respectfully ask you to publish
this in your next issue of the Tri-
bune
Yours respectfully,
Athletic AsSoci alton.

OLD SAYING ABOUT JANUARY

January blossoms fill no mans cell
lar.
II birds begin to whistle i'm Jan
uary, frosts to come.
When gnatS swarm in January the
peasant becomes a beggar.
Much rain in January, ). no blessing
to the fruit
When oak trees bend with snow
in January, good crops may be ex-
pected.
A cold January, a feyerish February
a dusty March, a weeping April and
a windy May, presage a good year
and gay.

involves $1,000 and the second $3.50 Eu-
gene Williams, secretary-treasurer of the

bers also was indicted for malfeasance
in office and permitting the offices of

New Orleans, September 19.-After all is
cut and dried, Charley Frank is not so
foolish at that. When the announcement
came down from Cincinnati that Clarence
Kraft had brought $500 by draft. 1t was
at first thought that by letting Kraft go
to Nashville Frank had literally thrown
his chance of making this draft money
out of a window. But when 1t is con-
sidered that the records show that Kraft
was drafted from New Orleans. and that
the Birds can lose no other player, even
though it is very probable that Nashville
will get the $500 draft price, the Dutch
mans craft" can be seen all through
the matter.
The Volunteers paid $500 for the ex-
Cotton States Lacquer. and his going to
the big league will bring them a profit
of $l100, for even though Charley Frank
may try to claim the money its a sure
thing that he will be satisfied to let the
profits go to Nashville as long as the
books show that Kraft came from New
Orleans. Frank says he would much pre-
fer losing s1100 on Clarence than running
the risk of losing either Finis Wilson or
Jim Bagby by draft. and 1t is almost a

lem would protest the playing of Pat

rumor, 1t not being be1ievable that such
a true sportsman as jerks Gillem
would strive for weeks to land the
services of Patton for the Sewanee
team and then upon losing him enter
a protest Gillem has long played foot
ball in the south and is known to be a
true sport in every sense of the word
and not the kind to resort to any pro-
testing after he had lost out in the
exciting quest for a star performer.
Immediately after the announcement
that Sewanee would protest the playing
of Patton it was announced by Patton
that there were absolutely no grounds
for the charge, and that he could most
easily disproye them.
With the killing of the charges
against Patton the Tech Jackets are
