LIBERTY MOTOR.
Drives Plane One Hundred Miles an
Hour.

Mineola, N. Y, April 16.-Major
Roy Brown, OF the United States
Signal Corps, who piloted an airplane
fitted with a Liberty motor from
Langley Field, Va, was today pre-
pairing for the return trip.
The distance miles-was made
in three hours and fifteen minutes.
The motor did not miss stroke dur
ing the entire trip, Major Brown said
today. 1t has operated up to this
time total of nine hours without
mishap. The flyer was accompanied
by George DUANE, Liberty motor
expert.
Duane was enthusiastic over the
motor, and declared he felt confident
it would be equal under rigid tests to
all the claims made for it. The vibra-
ton was much less than he had en-
pected, and he was of the opinion that
the motor will compare favorably
with any now used.
The flight from Lengley Field was
made at a mean altitude of 5000 feet.
The plane attained height of 10000
feet when it passed over Baltimore.
Officials OF the Aero Club of Ameri-
ca today announced that the plane had
almost eQualed the record from Lang
ley Field to this point, which is two
hours and fifty minutes. The machine
bringing Major Brown and DUANE
to Mineola, they explain, was not built
for speed

VOTES S12O INCREASE.
Clause Easily Defeated in
Upper House.

The Senate yesterday struck out the
Borland amendment for an eight-hour
day with no extra pay for government
clerks and passed the legislative, eX-
ecutive and judicial appropriations bill
granting an increase of $3.50 a year
to clerks receiving salaries up to ST.
800 year.
Under the House bill the increases
stopped at the $4,000 mark. Employees
paid from lump sum appropriations,
as the bill finally passed, will receive
the S120 increase except in the case
of those paid from lump sum appro-
priations in the various bureaus and
agencies in the government, estab-
lished since January. 1916.
The entire bill carries S7O,000,000
and was passed without roll call.
Increases in salaries of government
clerks, including the amount carried
in the Postoffice appropriations bill
and other measures, will amount to
SIS 100000 during the fiscal year Of
1918, more than during 1917.

But Employers Must Take the Legal
Steps that the Law Makes
Necessary.

Washington, April II. = Genuine
farm workers can secure exemption
from the new draft if they go about
it in the right way. The Government
is anxious to keep the farm workers
on the farms, but the worker and his
employer must take the necessary
legal steps.
There has been much agitation over
the shortage of farm labor. Farmers
organizations have informed President
Wilson that a serious crop shortage is
threatened unless the labor problem
is solved, together with the problems
of high cost of seed, fertilizer and
farm implements.
Just as the agitation has been made
more acute by the beginning of spring
blowing and seeding, the second draft
is announced, and men who were re-
lied upon for farm work find them
selves in Class I of the new draft law.
The Department of LABOR announces
that the only way in which farmers
can keep their help is to comply with
the law which requires them to file
afFidavits in behalf of their hired help
in support of claims for deferred call
ing of men in Class l of the draft.
Local draft boards cannot excuse men
as farm laborers unless their employ
ers file afiidayits stating that the labor
Of these men is expert farm Labor
and is essential to the conduct of their
