STORY REMARKABLE
The story of the production of this
engine Is remarkable one. Probably
the war has produced no greater single
achievement.
r0ne Of the first problems was to
produce quickly dependable aviation
motor. Two courses were open. One
was to encourage manufacturers to
develop their own types; the other to
bring the best of all types together
and develop standard. The latter
course was chosen and two of the best
engineers in the country were
brought together at Washington and
the problem OF producing an all
American engine at the earliest pos
sible moment was presented to them
Their first conference was on June 3
DAY AND NIGHT WORK.
These two engineers were figura'
lively locked In room in Wash,
ington hotel and for five days neither
left the suite Of rooms. Consulting
engineers and craftsmen from IA
rious sections Of the country were
brought to Washington to assist
them. The work in the drafting-room
proceeding continuously day and
night. Each OF the two engineers in
immediate charge Of motor develop,
ment alternately worked a twenty.
four.hour shift.
An inspiring feature of this work
was the aid rendered by consulting
engineers and motor manufacturers,
who gave up their trade secrets un.
der the emergency of war needs The
industries have also contributed the
services of approximately two hun.
bred of their best craftsmen.
The two engineers promised the
government, if given the opportunity,
they would design a satisfactory en-.

Are We Losing Our Legs? This
Girl Disagrees With Scientist
Especial to The Times.)

Especial to The Jimes.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Are
the legs OF Americans degenerate
ing? Will the race resemble PEN
gums I'm a few generations be-
cause OF lack Of leg exercise, in
duced by using automobiles and
street cars?
YES! says p. A. Vale, writing
in Popular Science Monthly, after
a careful study Of American legs.
Vale says the American woman
has neglected herself so long her
legs and feet are suffering NAL
formations, and there is no longer
in her leg the beauty of the classic
line.
"NONSENSE!" is the COM
ment Of Gladys LOTUS,
Broadway dancer i'm the Zieg-
field FOllies company, reputed
TO have the most perfect legs
on the stage tolay.
"Vaile's conclusion that lack of
exercise is causing degeneration
in the American woman's feet and
legs is absurd" she declares. FIX
ercise or lack of exercise has moth
ing to do with beauty of line in
the human figure. The Chinese
women have been binding their
feet for centuries. But a Chinese
girl, brought up in this country,
whose feet are not bound in in
fancy, has just as perfect feet as
any other girl.
Beauty of line, in leg, arm,
neck or face, arouses admiration,
because there Is implanted in
human nature a love of the beau
tiful, and the human figure, espe-
cially the female figure, contains
the lines that especially appeal.
because of this. men will
always seek as mates beauti-
full women; just as women
will tend to select mates who
are strong and manly. In
this way, by process of nat
ural selection, the race will
always tend toward the
strong and beautiful.
Those who mate, therefore,
are more likely to improve the
race from the standpoint of beauty
and strength than otherwise.
so long as men admire beauty
of form in women, there is no
danger of degeneration of wom-
ems legs, arms or body"

Once upon a time there lived
a little girl who was very beauti-
full and she had two step sisters
who were cruel to her. Because
she was Obliged to sit among the
cinders the lovely girl was called
Cinderella"
Do you remember a story told
you long ago and which began
very much after that fashion?
In the Ringing spectacle, which
will be presented here when the
circus comes to Tacoma to exhibit
next Saturday, you will see the
streets and castles on the fairy
land city, the home of Cinderella;
the coming and going of gnomes
and dwarf bands, and the trans
formation of Ella of-the-Cinders
from a much abused little girl to
the role of the lovliest lady at the
kings ball.
Then will come the loss of the
glass slipper on the grand stair
case, the despair of the love lorn
prince, the great contest in which
all the ladies of the fairy king
dom seek to wear the slipper, the
triumph of Cinderella and her be-
trothal to the kings son.
More than 1000 actors take part
Ia the spectacle. There are or
chestras of great size and a fairy
band of 800 dancing girls in bal
let's. The fairyland settings per-
NIT the introduction of marvellous
color effects and the costumes are
gorgeous.
Besides the immense cast OF
people, the spectacle calls for hun
dreds Of horses in rich trappings
and vast array of splendidly
carved vehicles ranging from the
pumpkin coach of Cinderella to
the lavishly appointed carriages
of the king and his royal train.
The production is given on what
is said to be the largest stage ever
constructed. II opens the main
tent circus program afternoon and
night and is followed by the rega-
lar arenic numbers embracing 400
performers and a host of dumb
animal actors which, like "Cinder-
ella" promise to delight both
young and old.
