Lieut.. John L. Davis without mechani-
clan and without changing plane or
motor. The actual flying time was
sixty-four hours. an average of 62.S
miles per hour over the entire dis
lance.
Lieutenant Davis followed the same
course as the three officers who came
to Washington. as far as Dayton,
Ohio.
The three naval planes left Philadel-
phia last Thursday morning at $50
o'clock and proceeded southwark, fol-
lowing the seacoast and Chesapeake
bay. Stops were made at several of
the naval stations along the coast, and
Pensacola was reached yesterday. The
trip was made without accident OF any
sort. This flight marks a new record
in the history OF naval aviation.

The SORE THROAT
OF SPANISH
INFLUENZA

One OF the frequent complications
Of Spanish influenza is sore throat
Il is important the sore throat be
given prompt attention and relieved.
The throat is the gateway to the
body. The air we breathe, the food
We eat and the water we drink all
pass through It 1t is the great
breeding ground for germs and this
IS especially true when it is sore or
indamed. II it is kept clean, dis
ease germs have small chance to
propagate and do their deadly work.
Authorities agree Spanish infu-
enZa is germ disease and that pre-
ventiVe measures should be taken
They advise the use OF an effective
gargle to keep the throat clean and
healthy. For this purpose, Tonsiline,
The National Sore Throat Remedy, is
ideal 1t is also used as a spray and
taken pure.
The wonderful increase in the sale
Of Tonsiline during Ahe last few
weeks shows that many thousands of
families are making extra use OF
Tonsiline during this epidemic to
quickly relieve the often accompany
ing sore throat and as a preventive
measure.
Don't wait until you have influenza
and sore threats in the house, but
get your bottle Of TonsiIine from
your druggist now for use as a pre-
ventiye gargle and also to be rea Iy

TO FIX MEATPR

District Food Administrator Wilson
is comforting today with representa-
tives of all packing concerns in the
District in regard to the fixing of fair
prices for the sale of meat.
Heretofore meat has not been placed
on the weekly fair price list of the
Food Administration, largely because
OF the great variation in the value Of
different cuts. A plan OF voluntary
conformity to the fair price list has
been suggested, but many dealers
doubt the efficacy of this method. As
a result it is expected the feasibility
OF placing meat on the official fair
price list will be discussed and acted
upon at the conference today.

Engine Wastes Heat.

The automobile engine is a notorious
heat waster. though it is, strictly
speaking, heat engine and therefore
should not waste any heat, or better,
as little as possible. Yet fully one
third of the heat generated tand the
heat power) is lost by being passed to
the cooling water. Now when water
is sent into the cylinders upon the in
take stroke the charge is naturally
cooled. On compression ii is heated and
upon explosion it is turned into steam.
thereby taking away some of the heat
which would ordinarily be wasted by
passing through the water jacket into
the water Later on in the power
stroke when the power on the piston is
reduced the steam gives up it's heat in
greater part and thus helps put some
more power where it is needed.
In other words. during the early part
of the explosion stroke the water pre-
vents a heat loss by taking some of
the heat into the mixture only to give
it up later when the. heat is needed in
the cylinder This explanation may be
taken as being correct with the theory
as to water decomposition wrong. This
theory assumes that the water present
during the explosion is decomposed into
its elements, oxygen and hydrogen, and
that the presence of the oxygen makes
1t possible for the free carbon to com
bine with it. thus effecting perfect
combustion. There is no proof of this
though it may be possible that the
water does decompose to some extent

turs which obtain in automobile engine

WATER IN ENGINE
CAUSE OF TROUBLES
Increases Power. But Has
Tendency to Reduce Car
bon Deposit.
DEVICE FEEDS STEAM

Ever since the beginning of the gas en-'
gine industry operators have noticed that
on damp days and at night, when the air
is more humid than during the day. the
engine runs better and with more power
on a given throttle opening than it does
on a dry day AT first some engineers
said that the results were merely phycho-
logical and that the humid atmosphere
could not cause an increase in power.
These scientific doubters even offered
proofs of the justice of their contentious,
which served to convince good many
people But the real facts are these: Wa
ter fed to the engine does increase the
power At the same time it has tendency
to reduce carbon deposit and under certain
circumstances it is likely to remove a de-
post of troublesome particles, though it
cannot be said with certainty that it Will
remove hard carbon
1t is common practice for operators Of
kerosene engines to feed water into the
combustion chamber. not only 10 reduce
the temperature. because kerosene engines
are wont to heat rapidly. especially II
poorly designed. but also to get moro
power by permitting higher compression
to be used Perhaps the general use OF
water in kerosene engines led to the mar
keting by numerous manufacturers of de-
vices designed to feed water or steam TO
engines
Consists of Tank.
In many cases the device consists of a
water tank with piping to the inlet mani
fold above the throttle. There is suitable
control so that the water may be shut off
when desired. Any one who has used one
of these devices knows that Immediately
upon turning on the water the engine
speeds up. though it is necessary to have
the engine hot before turning on the wa
ter, otherwise it will slow down or stop
In some types there is a line leading to
the radiator filler neck SO that moist air
can be sucked into the carburetor.
At any rate. regardless of the type
of device. all of those designed to feed
water or steam have a beneficial eff
feet upon the engine and their use is
justified both as a power increaser and
carbon preventer. How can the action
as power increaser be explained?
Briefly stated the use of water results
in a gain in thermal or heat efficiency
by preventing the usual loss of heat
through the water jackets al the be-
ginning of the explosion stroke and
giving back the heat later on in the
stroke when the power on the piston is
not so great.
Evening star., 1918-02-24
Use of Water Aids.

However the matter is explained. the
fact remains that the use of water is
beneficial and the apparent magic which
gives the engine more power on a
damp day is something real AS to the
carbon removing ability of the water.
there is something to be said Surely
a caked deposit cannot be removed bv
water or steam unless by luck MANY
owners have said that the use of water
stopped preignition and knocking and
very likely this is true because the
water may have removed these small
particles OF carbon which became in
candescent and cause preignition,
which in turn causes knocking. II
also is possible for the water to pre-
vent carbon from depositing in any
quantity which it would under normal
conditions
The owner who doubts the ability of
the water to increase the power of his
engine should not try to prove il bv
pouring quart or so into the car
buretor intake and interfere with car
buretion by temporarily stopping the
gas flow at the nozzle but he should
Feed 1t above the throttle so that the
water enters with the mixture.
