DAY FOR
REGISTERING

The Republicans OF East Chicago have
had so many requests for further oppor-
tunities to register for the November
election that another registration day
has been Sc, at which time all Republi-
cans who want to vote at the general
election in November should not fail to
register.
Thursday August 20. is the day and
the hours and places will be the same
as before.
At these places there viii be clerks
and noteries who Will De qualified to
take full care OF the matter. IN other
words, If prospective voters will respond
70 these calls. there will be no expense
for notary service and il will not be
necessary for them 20 go to Crown Point
10 register.
About fifteen hundred registered at
the last Republican registration day.
but this IS only one-fourth Of the num-
Der that should register. In other words.
there are thousands Of citizens that
should show the spirit of good citizen
ship and take an interest in the conduct
Of county. state and national affairs. A
no time in the history Of the country
has It been more necessary TO put the
right kind Of men IN charge of the
public OFFICES and unless the right kind
Of men take an interest in this forth
coming election the election will be
wholly in the hands Of the r1ng-side
politicians.
Remember that the next registration
day in East Chicago Is on Thursday,
August 20. from 9 q m. to 2 p. m.

Some Defects OF the Liberty Motor.
The committee report goes very little

ventured farther. for in some respects

lion with respect TO the Liberty motor.

actually can &C and points out its limi-
tations but omits details. It could have
said that one defect Of the Liberty mo
tor is its gas consumption. a gallon Of
gas weighs seven and a half pounds and
the Liberty about 40 gallons,
or ESQ pounds. for every hour Of flight.
This is about double the consumption
of the best British machines or the same
power. which use only about q gallons.

ceIlent performance in some respects.

lishtness Of the motor itself. Substan-
sally the same extra burden must be
carried in the heavy batteries necessary
to ~he ignition system
The report contains the mysterious
line. The Liberty twelve-cylinder en-
CINE is an excellent one for the heavier
planes and certain other purposes" This
line Is mysterious because Of the earlier
significant statement Of the report that.

With the knowledge that the United
States is now turning out efficient air
craft for all purposes. although equipped
with other than Liberty motors. ii may
now be permissible and not disloyal to
say that the American designers still
have some task ahead in changing the
Liberty motor from a direct to "a gear
