CAPT. MAY FORFEITED
LIFE IN TESTING oils
Signal Corps Officer Exhausted Vitality
In Laboratory and Died of
Cold
GOT AIR ENGINE LUBRICANT
Liberty Motor Saved Millions and
Helped Assure Aerial Program.

Washington, Aug. 21.-The death
of Captain o. j. May. of Chicago, an
officer of the equipment division of
the signal corps, in consequence OF
the severe strain to which he was sub
iected while conducting sixty-five-
hour test OF a new oil for lubricating
air engines, liz held officially to be in
the line Of duty.
His death occurred May %. The
new oil Is the result OF a problem
worked out with great care by officers
of the signal corps in connection with
the development of the liberty engine.
At first 1t was believed that castor
oil must be used, or at least blend
of castor oil and some mineral Oil.
There seems to have been no definite
determination among the aircraft
organizations of the allies as to what
kind of oil should be used.
The character OF the lubricating
oil OF the air engine is Of the greatest
i'm portance, as the efficiency OF the
engine under1ies the work of tho air
man and his life often depends on its
quality
1t was figured out that 100000
gallons of castor oil at 50 gallon
would be required for our air service,
and that quantity was not in existence.
The signal corps then went to work
on a DlenueO mineral OIL W Co1t ~
cents a gallon.
Captain May was set to the task
of testing this oil and others on run
ming engines. In twenty-fi Ave days he
made thirty-seven tests on as many
engines. where FIVE tests a week vas
regarded as all that any one could do.
Every oil was analysed weighed. and
measure before and after the run of
each engine.
Captain May was exhausted when
he had completed these tests. He
then set to work to make an altitude
test in an alright building with the
air in 1t partly exhausted and kept
in that state to simulate the atmos-
phere at high attitudes The captain
ran several of these tests and made
one OF sixty-five hours duration. He
stood on watch without leaving the
work all that time and duly recorded
his data.
The strain on Captain Mays vitality
was too great and when n few days
later he went on an inspection trip he
caught cold In heavy storm. He
/ died at Takoma Park. Nd. near
Washington. His work has provided
the army and navy aviation services
with lubricating oil of the best
quality at a cost one-fourth OF what
was estimated and 1t Ia calculated he
saved the government fully s1l 900
GOO. One feature OF the tests of this
oil is the fact that half OF the quantity
used may he cleaned and used over
again.

PROPOSAL MADE TO
AMEND LIQUOR LAW
Tasmanian Cabinet. In View OF Eva
sions. Decides to Bring I'm Amend
ing Bill.

Hobart Tas.-By houting the 6
| o'clock closing law in Tasmania, the
| liquor trade have antagonized the
community and will presently be
| made to pay for their laxity by gov
| eminent action.
Following the decision of the people
of Tasmania, last year, all hotels and
public houses must close at o'clock
in the evening. Parliament, in giving
effect 10 enable publicans to sell nom
! intoxicating drink during the hours
that the sale OF intoxicating liquor
was prohibited This concession has
not worked satisfactorily in practice /;
1t has merely opened the door for
evasions of the law and prosecutions
for "A time have become almost an
everyday occurrence. This fact has
led to a demand for further legisla-
ton. and there is much public feeling
against the provision in the law which
makes the local option polls inopera-
tive unless a majority of 20 per cent
of the rate payers on the roll be OBJ
tanned.
The premier, when asked the inten-
lions of the government regarding
these matters, said that the 6 o'clock
closing law was being more or less
fiouted all over the state, the chief
cause being the temperance bar. Cen
orally speaking, there had been no
attempt by the trade to assist those
responsible for administering the law.
Licensees had abused the confidence
placed in them, and subterfuges and
tricks of every kind had been rasorted
10 in the endeavor to defeat the law.
and thwart the will OF the people. The
cabinet had, therefore, decided to
bring in an amending bill to close all
public houses absolutely at o'clock.
The effect of this would be to sweep
away the temperance bar, and make
il unlawful for anyone other than u
bona hde lodger or traveller TO be on
the premises after 6 o clock.
In regard to the local option polls,
the premier said that not the least
weakness in the act was the clause
providing for a ratepayrrs franchise
and the % per cent majority or the
ratepayers on the roll The govern
ment. believing that this great social
question was one that should be de-
cided by the people. had determined
to bring forward an amending bill
providing that the questions OF CON

Der OF houses would be reduced to

In order to carry no license here
