The Liberty motor was discus..a
yesterday by its real designer, Ma;o,

gineering Societies Building, 20 we,.
Thirty ninth Street.
This engine, the designer said. il u.
first aircraft motor that has ever be.,
standardized in all its parts in ri.

those in use here that in order thu.
American air fighting machines shou,s
be effective it was necessary to bu;la
an entirely new motor.
Major Vincent pointed out that tns

pie of New York millions, and that the
Public Service Commission alone had
cost the people over $10,000,000, and
conditions had not improved.
Commissioner Whitney said that the
commission was keenly conscious of
the conditions prevailing on various
parts Of both the elevated and subway
systems and that it was doing it's best
to get additional facilities in operation
He pointed out that the new Broadway
subway in Manhattan was opened last
week TO Forty second Street and that
the large cars were being introduced
Brooklyn even before conditions are
absolutely safe, in order to relieve con-
gestion.
Socialist Dcnounces Road
Alderman B. Charney Vladcck, one
of the Socialist alderman from Brook
lyn, also wrote Chairman Straus de-
nouncing the B. Il. 7. service. He de-
clarcd that, while Mayor Hylan was
mot we'll informed" on his facts in the
first letter, he wrote TO Mr.. Straus, the
pressed him as "an apology for the B.
r. r.. for which there is and can be
none" Alderman Vladeck introduced
a resolution at the meeting Of the
Board Of Aldermen on Wednesday sug-
gesting that the city should take over
the B. r. T. system.
The alderman pointed out that while
the number of passengers carried on
the Brooklyn lines during the last two
or three years had greatly increased
the level Of the service had remained
the same.
"The number of trains and cars
crossing the Williamsburg and Brook
lyn bridges" he said, "thc irregular
and disorganized headway, the constant
brutal indifference to not only the COM
plants Of the public but to the recon-
mendations of your commissi sion-all
this has sunk so deep in the minds and
hearts of the citizens Of Brooklyn that
they will accept no apology or justfi-
cation"
Mayor ilylan's persistent attacks on
the b. Il. 7. and his complaints of the
inactivity Of the Public Service Com
mission are looked upon in political
circles as an effort TO turn public senti-
ment toward tho "neccssity" of mu
ncipal ownership of the transit lines.
The Mayors efforts in this direction
are being closely observed by the
Hearst organization men.

the message the New Jersey Veterin-

meeting here to-day, had for the pub
lie.
Dean Horace Hoskins, State Veter-
mary of New York University, who was
the principal speaker at the session
held this afternoon, urged the society
to go on record as favoring the breed
ing of horses in the West as a source
of food. Horse meat, he declared. was
being sold extensively in New York
City, and, as a matter Of fact, he said
that because Of the muscular activity
of the horse, this meat WAS far more
nutritious than beef.
The society voted to recommend to
Congress the adoption of law, estab-
