SUPLEE'S STATEMENT

The statement by Suplee, in the War department official files, is in part as follows:
 T. That in all the relations con- cerning the matter of promotion of a stock company for the manufacture of airplanes, during which l was present at several conferences, with the pro- Jectors of this enterprise, as consult ing engineer I desire to state there was never any other understanding Of this project but that MT Borglum was to be represented in the corporation by Mir. Harris and that his sole asset in the transactions was to be- first, his personal friendship and association with President Wilson. whom he stated he could do anything he wanted with.

A third tendency is the addition OF
small quantities OF steam or water

successfully is to diminish The forma

bile Club OF America.
The Automobile club OF America is
an organization largely made up oI
users of the motor vehicle. From It's
early history It has maintained a tech
meal committee which has admins
tered a testing laboratory for the scr
vicc Of its members and of the industry
at large. The officers OF the laboratory
are therefore in a position 10 feel the
pulse OF great organism OF the United
States by a retrospect OF the tests and
research which have come under IT'S
hands. Or. again to change the figure,
they sit somewhat like a spider at the
center Of a great web whose rays run
in every direction and who can feel tho
tug Of activity and struggle in all parts
OF the field.
The work which comes to such a
laboratory IS both scientific and com
mercial. A development along teohni-
cal lines and a forward movement OF
the frontiers OF knowledge usually
comes first. After this follow the COM
mercal development of designs and ap-
pliances to carry out and embody the
results OF theories developed by the
scientific research.
Body Of Car.
In the year 1917 these trends may he
observed in five different directions

fort and of artistic appeal IN the body
OF the car. These are externalS and

statesmen, because they require little

They are features of the Improvement

and in a widespread use OF the vehicle

other Early designers could not af-
ford to pay much attention to this class
OF refinement because they were too
busy making a car which would not go
dead upon the toad somewhere. These
