. THE SHORE LINE INCREASE.
Hartford Times Says Rate is Greater
 Than on Steam Road

A new rate of fare schedule wdnt into effect on the Shore Line electric railway Thursday morning, says the Hartford Times. Conductors the line asserted that the first informa ton they had in regard to the change was Wednesday evening". when the com pany announced a 50 per cent. increase in fares over the present ones.
 The new charge system will be by zones and will be approximately three cents per zone, mile representing a zone. The gre from north terminus of the line to Essex heretofore has been 15 cents. The new schedule brings it up to A cents. Through fare from Chester to New Haven heretofore has been SC cents: now it is s1.29.
 The charge for a single zone how ever will be five cents, but if the pas senger overlaps the second zone or rides through it, the fare will be eight cents. The cities of Norwich and New London. however, are excepted and a single fare within the city limits will be five cents. -
 This approximate rate of three cents a mile si greater than that charged by the steam cars. Tickets for steam cars can be secured for 2 1-2 cents a mile. while by mileage it costs but 2 1-4 cents mile. The Shore Line elec- tric railway. therefore, has completely disrupted the former precedent of the fare on steam cars being greater than that on electric cars.

FORMER NORWICH BOY
 LIBERTY MOTOR DESIGNER
Rsmarkabis Engine outrivaIs Anything
 Produced in European Countries.

Jesse G. Vincent of Detroit former Norwich boy Is one of the designers O. the Liberty nrortor which outrivals ls anything produced in European coun- tries for aircraft.
 From present indications victory win come to the Allies in 1918 through the air. Enormous fleets of airplanes such as have hitherto never been con sidered, win be turned out by Amre- ican factories and will bring hoin to the Autocrats of Germany the fact that they are playing a losing game. This is the dope" at least and there is every reason to believe that it is good dope"
 An initial appropriation of $64o 00O.- 900 has been made for the purpose by the United States. Another appropri- alton of 8 billion dollars will be forth = coming. We have the men and the materials in abundance, which will make possible an Armada of 10000 airplanes. :"
 The reat problem that confronted Government experts was one concern torse, althoguh light and speedy, were outclassed by those of German manu- lecture. It was up. to this country to produce a motor superior in every re- spect to the German. motor, and Yankee ingenuity rose to the occasion. The result is the new Liberty Motor which produces 275 horsepower at a deadwefght of Is pounds per horse power. The German product cannot touch that figure. Jesse G. Vicnent of Detroit, and E. J. Hall,- of San Francisco are largely, responsible for the Liberty Motor. They did what our Allies could not do in turning It motor feighing far less in proportion to power output than the best motor of the GerarHAs. This means that the American t4rplane will be able to out speed and outmaneuver the speed of European machines and eventually bring victory to our cause.
