government contracts. They may be as
rapidly assembled, either by these
plants or at central assembly plant.
"The new engine amounts practically
to an international model. 1t embodies
the best there is in American engineer
ing and the best features Of European
models, so far as il has been possible
10 adapt the latter TO American manu-
featuring methods.
The two engineers most directly
connected with the production of the
United States aviation engine had be-
fore them not only the blueprints and
models of the most successful engines
the war has produced, but also every
available American suggestion. Men
skilled in the invention % motors, both
automobile and airplane, advised these
engineers, who were charged with the
DUTY Of providing rapidly and uner-
ringly motor which would embody
every essential for vac time Use. Non
essential complexities were consistently
discarded by these engineers. The re-
suit was a composite design of maxi
mum power, minimum weight, great
speed capablity and adaptability TO
quick production.
Four Models Of Engine
The STANDARDIZATION of parts ma
tCrially simplifies the problem of repair
and maintenance. Spare parts will be
promptly available at all times. Even
the cylinders are designed separately.
II il possible 10 build the new engine
in four models. ranging from four 20
twelve cylinders, and under the stand
ardization plan now worked out an
cight-cy Or twelve-cylindcr
model can be made, using the same
standard cylinders, pistons, valves, CAM
shafts. and so on.
This will make the question of re-
pairs back Of the lines comparatively
simple matter. The parts of wrecked
ight-cylinder or twelve-cylinder en-
gines will be interchangeable and

The Standardization of the new en-.

be continuous experimentation as new

war emergency. If the engine can be
improved it I'll be improved, but as

Production in New Field
Construction Of the new standard
engine will not interfere with the con-
tinued manufacture OF other service

can. which existing plants are already
turning out.

A PAT OF BUTTER
MANY Mickle Makes a Muckle'-
Save the Bits

Many a Mickle Makes a Muckle'-
Save the Bits
One pat or serving of butter is a
little thing-there are about ga of
them In a pound.
In many households the butter left
on the plates probably would equal
one pat or one-fourth of an ounce
daily scraped off in the garbage pail
or washed off in the dish pan.
But 1t every one of our 10000 900
households should waste one-fourth
of an ounce of butter daily, on an av-
erage, it would mean 312,5OO pounds
a day-114,062, 500 pounds year.
10 make this butter would take
265 PSI $50 gallons Of milk-or the
product Of over half a million cows.
But, butter isn't eaten or wasted
in every home, some one objects.
Very we'll. Say only one in 100
homes wastes even pat of butter a
day-over 100000 pounds wasted.
Still intolerable when butter is SO
valuable food and every bit of but
ter left on plate is so useful in
cookery.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., or
your State Agricultural College will
tell you how to use every bit Of but
ter in cookery.

4 DEFENSE OF THE HUNS
To Call Germans Huns is to C0mpn-
ment Them Too Highly

To Call Germans Huns is to COmpll-
ment Them Too Highly
Baltimore Sun.
If there is still any sense of JUS
tice in the world, it is certainly high
time that a protest be registered
against the dissertation of the mem
ory of the Huns b. the gratuitous
bestowal of their name upon the race
which is so busily engaged in at
tempting to tear down all the struc-
ture of civilization.
There are few more Interesting
things in history than the description
of Attila and his hordes which Glib
bon gives in Chapters "a and 80 OF
the decline and Fall". A simple
and entirely rude, barbarian people,
the Huns were urged on to their con-
quests and despoiling by exuDerant
vitality. There is something stirring,
wholesome, we'll aerated, about them.
They were just what one would ex-
pect them to be and in no way Of
tended the dramatic unities. Glib
bon says: "Their manners were not
susceptible of a refined system of
oppression"
This German nation of today which
takes not only physical but men
tai pleasure in wantOn destruction,
this people which considers its con-
tinued existence not too dearly bought
at the price of the extinction OF 9TH
er peoples and the destruction of all
the slowly evolved ideas OF funda-
mental human decency is much toe
highly complimented when the cpl.
tibet "Eun" is applied to it. We fee
quite sure that any follower of At,
! tia who was able to think in alb
stract terms at all would have beer
revolted at the idea Of "civilized'
| people who could consider the de-
struction of the Lusitania "a glorious
victory" could exalt such sentiment
as the order "Leave them nothing
but their eyes to weep with" coult
gloat over reducing to the condition
of a. dessert" the lands of neigh
boring people to whom-in thei1
heart Of hearts-they know them
selves to be illimitably inferior.
The Germans have not "won fo1
themselves the reputation of thu
Huns of Atti1a." There is not enough
nobility in them to do so. They have
merely Furnished mankind with {
new name for an indecent kind o
self-made barbarism which honorable
people 1or milleniums to come will
apply to fiendish and inhuman acts
They should no longer be callet
| "Huns". To call them so is to pa!
them an undeserved compliment.

A TIME FOR ACTION
To the Editor Of The Robesonlan:

To the Edito: Of The Robesonlan:
Confronted with unprecedented con-
ditions and faced with perplex1ng
problems. the American people must
learn to act rather than to talk or
discuss. Talking will not solve our
problems or better our conditions,
if we GO no further than to talk.
The campaign for food conserva-
ton and for increasing the produc-
ton of foodstuffs must have the
hearty cooperation Of the entire peo-
PIE This campaign is not one for
political gain or personal advant-
age. It calls for real sacrifice-not
next week or next year, but right
row. Unless the seriousness of the
situation is brought straight home to
us, we may continue to, follow the
monotonous way Of our routine lives
and fail to realize that each and ev-
cry one has a part to- play IN the
uations E:e.
There is no need for business to
be paralzed. Business should con-
tinue as formerly. Only by keeping
up every nerve and At all odds by
keeping things go H., as ordinarily
can we protect the nation from dis
aster. We must all do our part and
do all we can. It is as patriotic to
see that business conditions are kept
as nearly normal as possible as it is
to see that men are placed on the
battle line. One difference between
big and little men is the way they
act in crises. The man of broad Wis
ion does not lose poise when faced
rr,;%h orI hoe
ditions, while the man of narrow
thought goes to pieces. It. issimpor-
tant to remember this in this crisis
which we are about to face.
The highest efficiency is demand
ed when conditions need most to be
righted. Men going to their death
on the battle line realize that it is
up to them to live well while they
do live. It matters not so much how
long they live but it does concern
them tremendously how well they
live. It is highly important that the
same feeling. should exist in the
peaceful walks of life in this eventful
year.
The campaign for food conserva-
ton is based upon sound principles
and the sooner all realize it, the bet
ter for the country. We must all
realize that the world must be fed
and the time to take stock is now

The Chicken and the Garden

Charlotte observer.
The Lumberton Robesonian thinks
it sin and shame sin these times
of high prices to see your neighbours
chickens get into your garden and
devour the things you are trying to
raise to help out" And for a fact
it is. Nearly all towns have anti
chicken ordinances and we believe
there is a State law governing the
matter. At any rate, we should say
that in war times it might be in or
der for the owner of chicken-raid-
ed garden to proceed against the in
vaders under the general rules of
war and save that particular portion
of the country which is under his pro-
lection. The chicken that scratches
up garden sass these days deserves
death without the fornalities of a
trial.
