LIBERTY MOTOR CAME
FROM MERCEDES RACER
BY United Press.

Washington. (Special)-When Ralph
de Palma. famous auto racer, decided
to bring q Mercedes motor to America
and win the 1914 Memorial day race at
Cincinnati, he soYed the seed which to.
day is promising a harvest Of thous-
ands of Liberty motors to beat Ger
many.
This is how 1t happened.
De Palma witnessed the Grand Prix
auto classic in Paris in 1913, won by q
German a Mercedes-and he de-
cided to slip n of the motors into
this country and surprise his rivals
here.
He did, but the motor didn't function
properly at the Cincinnati race, SO he
sen it back to Germany for re-tuning.
1t was returned to him here shortly
before the great war broke out in the
fall of 1914.
Henry B. Joy, head of a great auto
mobile concern in this country, now q
De Palma's motor and. believing Amer
lea might be drawn into the war, start
ed work on an aeroplane engine model
ed, in some vital respects after the
Mercedes.
BY the time the United States en-
tered the war Joy had developed sever.
al models, and It was in June, 1917, that
of engineers in Washington. They
closeted themselves with plans and
specifications for o full week, and out
of their deliberations the first Liberty
motor was born.
Since that day there have been many
intricate changes In the mechanism Of
h Liberty motor. One plant devoted
a total OF 46.149 hours to changing
tools made necessary. by altered speci.
ticattons. As a result 1t was not until
April Of this year that quantity pro-
duction could be started in earnest.
The first 1000 motors have been com.
pleted. and It is estimated that anoth.
or year will see 10000 completed Liber-
ty planes flying In France.
Since the German manufacturer
sent Ralph De Palma his Mercedes en-
CINE, the Germans have used that make
in their aircraft with SEINE slight Inn
provement. The Americans today,
however. are using an engine bearing
some Of the vital characteristics of the
Mercedes. but believed far superior in
every way. De Palma'a motor, how
ever. was responsible for the early in
spiration in>buildlng an American air
engine. and is therefore Indirectly re-
sponsible for Americas promised su.
prenacy in the air.

To An. Anxiously Awaiting Public:
The Charlevoix County Committee of
the Council of National Defense, Michi-
gan Division, are glad at last to report
the registration of this county. Re-
turns were delayed for sometime, but
the work was nevertheless well done.
Three thousand seven hundred forty
one registrants among the women of
Charlevoix County bespeaks an almost
one hundred per cent county. The
few who through ignorance or stub
borness failed or refused to register
are being listed and reached in every
way possible.
But the committee is proud to report
to State Headquarters in Kalamazoo
that the city of East Jordan registered
All and surrounding rural districts l59,
making total of $40; that the city of
CharlevOix registered 729 and sur
rounding rural districts 1855, making a
total of 1904; that the city of Boyne City
registered 1910 and surrounding rural
territory registered 1886, making total
of 1916; that Boyne Falls and surround
ing rural territory registered 1876, and
Beaver Island ITO, making in all the
grand total as above stated 374l.
The cards are now being corrected
and will be tabulated and listed occu-
pationally and will be permanently on
file at County Headquarters of the
Council of National Defense under the
care of the secretary, Miss Belle Roy
of East Jordan.
The State Headquarters have sent
orders that the chairman, Miss Stewart
is to appoint committee on placement.
Whenever the country is in need of
help the county quota Of each division
of labor will be sent to this committee
and they will be required to fill the
quota from the volunteers who have
expressed their preference in the
cards which they have filled out. For
instance, suppose our country is in
need of 100000 munition workers and
State Headquarters figures up, and de-
cides that our county quota of mum.
ton workers is 81 women, the comm
ittee on placement will look through
the cards discover which women have
registered as volunteers in factory
work and which women have said they
could go any where in the United States
these women will then be notified tina,
they are wanted for war service and
be instructed as to when and where
they are to appear for work.
1t is to be hoped that unless very
good reasons interfere with their for.
mer choice of labor that every woman
stand back of her registration and that
the general public will bring pressure
to bear such that new volunteers will
appear for each line Of labor in which
there is need.
