NEW MOTORS ARE QU1ETER.
Higher Speed Also Attained by
Lengthening Stroke.

Motors have undergone very eX-
tensive housecleaning in the last year,
thanks to the activities of the engi-
neering departments. These activities
have proceeded along two lines. First,
quietness. and, second, higher speed
and higher efficiency, as it is often des-
ignated. To get silence more use is
made of cover plates 70. valve springs
and tappets. These do not accomplish
SO much by way of housing noise as
they, do by way of keeping the oil in
andTthe dust out, thereby preventing
wear and also preventing a noisy en-
gine which is always the result of lack
of oil and presence of dirt. In obtain
ing higher speed and efficiency the
course followed has been to lengthen

delegation, headed by Gov. Carlson and
former Gov. Ammons, recently urged
Congress to act favorably on the bill
to create Rocky mountain national
park out of the $50 square miles of
forest reserve in that state. the key
note of the plea was ito turn back
the tide of tourist travel to Europe and
direct it to the beauty spots of Amer
lea.
Congress acted favorably upon the
request and its action indicated the
growth of sentiment toward the util-
ization of American scenic attractions.

NOTED RACING DRIVERS
ENTER AT INDIANAPOLIS
Darius Resta and Louis Coatalen to
Take Part in Next Auto
Competition.

INDIANAPOLIS, January S0.-Darius
Eesta and Louis Coatalen, the former
one of Europes most famous racing
drivers and the latter chief engineer
of the Sunbeam factory. have sent in
their entry for the next Indianapolis
5O0-mile race, driving two Engiish
Sunbeams of the latest overhead valve
type. This raises the total OF nominal
tions for the Hoosier event to seven,
three of which are foreign. other Eu-
ropean entries expected soon to follow
are those of NJ. Bablot, holder OF the
continental long distance road-rac'ng
record who wants to team with Rene
Thomas in second Delage. and Arthur
Duray, runner-up in the. last Indian
apolis race. who is conducting nego-
tiations with the owner again to bring
over the Baby Peugeot.
Is Among Famous Drivers.
Eesta is one of the foremost cracks
of the old world. having finished sec
test, in which the Sunbeams ran first,
second third and fifth. in the last
French Grand Prix. That he did not 90
better on that occasion is attributed to
the fact that he had not sufficient time
for preparation, the tourist trophy
race on the Isle of Man couple OF
weeks before having taken too much
of his attention. Coatalen mas done
lot of work at BrooklandS, thoueh ne
has not participated much in road rae
ing. His chief claim to fame is that
he designed the twelve-cylinder Sun
beam, which holds the worlds hour
record of 1878 miles.
Compliments Indianapolis Race.
In submitting his entry Coatalen
pays tribute to the standing of the In
dianapolis 500-mile race in foreign
countries Here and on the contl-
nent." he says I'VE consider the In
dianapolis race the true American
Grand Prix. Up to the present it has
been of international character with
European drivers, whereas the other
American races, including the Wander
bilt and Grand Prize, have not that
distinction. To my mind, a race to be
really interesting must be contested
by different nationalities
