Charities and Corrections

Secretary j. F. Bagley of the Maine
Charities and Corrections Commission
had caller on Saturday morning, who
did not linger long. The man claimed
to have lost his power of speech and
a paper stating that he was soliciting
funds for the purpose of enabling him
to take a course in mechanical draw
ing, he previously having been a stem
low that calling.
A law was passed by the Legisla-
ture at the 1918 session, Chapter of
the Laws of 1916, which prohibits any
person soliciting funds for charitable
or benevolent purposes outside his or
her own town without license in full
force from the state Board of Chari-
ties and Corrections. The man, after
learning that this law is still In force,
faded away. The penalty for violation
of this act is a fine not exceeding $500
or IMPRISONMENT not exceeding SIX
months.
It is interesting to note that since
the act was approved. on FEB. 20
1915, but one application has been re-
ceived by Charities and Corrections
from an individual for such a purpose.
The party was a deserving man VINO
wished to secure funds with which to
secure an artificial limb and a license
was issued to him.
Another party has applied, wishing
a license for the solicitation OF funds
for a scheme being advocated by MIN
of colonizing Maine, through bringing
people here from outside the State to
settle on the vacant farms within our
border. The law states that 1T snail
be the duty of the board to issue sucn
a license whenever it shall be shown
to their satisfaction that the person or
organization requesting the license Is
reputable and responsible and has suit
able facilities for applying the funds
to the purpose for which they are to
be solicited. and that the records OF
such funds and the purpose for which
they are used will be properly and ac-
curately kept: No fee or charge is
made.
The colonization promoter was re"
ouested to furnish Charities and Cor
rections with further information con-
corning his project and intentions, but
he has not since been heard from.

pamphlet to the public:
"In compiling this catalogue of the
law books in the Maine State library,
the object has been to place before the
members Of the bar Of our State, a
comprehensive arrangement of the
books contained therein"
The contents are most conveniently
arranged and the catalogue will be of
great value to the legal profession and
all who have occasion to refer or use
in any way the splendid collection of

This problem seems 10 confront tho
industry to-day with results more serl-
Gus than at any time in the past, ow-
ing partly TO the unfitness OF thee
formula now in use and partly 20 the
development Of small, high efficiency
engines which develop power out Of all
proportion TO the ratings they would
take.
The White company. in introducing
sixteen-valve four-cylinder motor OF
the high speed type, has discont nued
horsepower ratings because the word
horsepower" has become meaningless
in its reference TO White cars, as well
a, In its application to other motor
car engines.
A close study Of the specifications
OF the leading cara in all OF the various
power classihcatIons discloscs the fact
that scores Of engines develop power
far in excess Of the ratings which they
are given under the standard formula.
IN other words. there is A big difference
between the rated horsepower and the
actual horsepower. And while the diff
ference Is IN the buyers favor. he sell
dom appreciates that there IS diff
ference.

Greatest Ever Is Promised for
National Exhibit in Grand
Central Palace

Next Saturday afternoon at o'clock
will see the opening OF the annual Ns-
tional Automobile Show in Grand Cen
trail Palace. 1t will be larger by far
and more comprehensive than any OF
it's predecessors during the last SIX
teen years OF development Of the mo-
tor car industry. Cars Of every sort
and description viii be shown, from
those costing less than $500 to the most
expensive limousnes, priced in the
neichborhood Of $4,000. An enormous
exhibit o. accessories, supplies and
parts embraces all the latest and best
everything from closed car bodies
down to newfangled cotter pins.
-Four hundred complete cars will be
shown Saturday, and on the early days
Of next week some OF those delayed in
transit will be added. Iwelves,
Fights" "sixes" and "fours" are the
engine types embodied in the design OF
these cars by the manufacturers.
Last year more than 100000 people
attended the show. breaking all pre-
vious records This season more spc-
cial trains and excursions will be run
TO the New York show from distant
cities than ever before. and there ~
reason 10 expect that the attendance
record Of last season will be broken.

the si1tesn-vslvs "four" which the
White Company Is showing at the Au-
tomobile Salon in the Hotel Aston. This
is an engine of comparatively small
size, and would ordinarily take low
rating. get il is actually one OF the
most powerful engines employed IN
stock cars. and 10 will be sold on the
basis Of its Wer-perlormance rather
than on an obsolete rating.
The reason for this policy lies IN the
method by which all horsepower rat
ings are determined. Since the earliest
DAYS Of the industry engineers OF motor
car companies have chung to the or1gl-
nal formula, which is based on the bore
OF an engine, but which does not ade-
qustely take into account the length oil
the stroke. In this formula the diane
ter Cor bore is squared, then multi
piled by the number Of cylinders, and
finally divided by 2h, which is con-
slant based on | 900 feet Of piston trav-
el per minute.
Such formula served its purpose
when all engines were designed with
about the same ratio between the bore
and stroke and when sll engines showed
approximately the same number OF rev
olutions per minute. But when fur-
ther development in design brought a
wide difference in dimensions. as well
as in engine speed, the engineers tried
TO evolve a new formula which would
be more applicable TO the changing de-
signs. This new formula, however, has
never materialiZed, even though 1t is
greatly needed. Practically all power,
therefore. is measured by the old out
of-date formula.
IL il thus natural TO expect Dig
difference in the performance OF two
engines which carry the same rating.
IL is also confusing 10 the motor car
buyer. When an engine Is rated at ~
horsepower and actually develops 20,
what is the value of such a rating? Or,
when an engine is rated at 90 and
develops only 80, what does the rating
accomplish?
Horsepower should be valued, not sc-
cordlng to the rating nor the claim, but
rather according TO the result IL pro
duces. Two engines OF equal horse
power seldom deliver the same driving
energy at the rear axle because OF dii..
ferences in the weights of the cars and
because of power losses between the
engine and the driving wheels. Nhen
a 30-horscpower car OF one design Will
deliver exactly the same performance
az 6O-horsepower car OF another de-
sign. it is apparent that one must be
inefficient and wasteful. with no bal,
snce between power available and
weight to be moved.
In the absence Of any formula which
Ats present practice in engine design
and with the public thoroughly con
fused, the White Company regards II
as matter of duty to discard horse
mower" and substitute performance
