which means better than 435 with a
full throttle. Nothing that the Ger
mans have can beat that-and even
II they copy our Liberty motor they
cannot touch US on quantity produc-
ton. In fact, IL Detroit has any sug-
gestions to offer on how to win the
war in the air. it would be to con-
centrate on a single type Of aero
plane and build five times as many
OF that kind as Germany can make.
Certainly the quantity production
of motors is such as to inspire the
greatest confidence in the outcome OF
the war so far as aviation is con
cerned. For day and night bomb
ing is going to be just as important
as combat or attack. and some OF the
foreign-made bombers are rapidly
being adapted to the use OF one and
two Liberty motors. That's the great
advantage Of the Liberty engine--it
can be used on six out OF seven types
OF planes and probably will be useful
on any new types hereafter devel-
oped.
And, while 1t Is disappointing to
think that not more than $500 Of
these Liberty motors will get into

mer, it is well worth remembering
that the object OF America is to help

plants abreast Of each other, and
three and four floors to a plant. The
genius of II. VI. Leland and his son,
who made the Cadillac motor what
1t is today, brought the Lincoln
Motor Company into being. The
elder Leland started working on gun
tools in 1862, and has been in ma
chine manufacturing ever since. His
son is a bundle Of nervous energy,
driving power and enthusiasm. That
explains the miracle. What the Pack
ard people have done, and what the
Ford plant with its time-saving pro-
ductiOn Of cylinders for all the Lib
erty engines, and pretty soon with
its flow of completed motors, is a
tale OF patriotism. For the autOmo-
bile has been given second place ex-
cept for the army truck and am
bulances, and preference is given the
aeroplane motor. All the auto com
panies are diminishing their output
OF automobiles, and from a daily
production Of $500 FOrds, the number
has been cut to about 1900.
All Are EnthusIastIe
They are all enthusiastic here about
the Liberty motor. and have a
feeling that many of the people in
the East who have been throwing
stones at it will be saying nice
things about the Liberty in a little
while.
Z. Leroy PelletIer. whose name
means much in the engineering pro
fessiOn. has CouraEeously reversed
himself already on the merits of the
Liberty motor. and there will be
many others doing likewise very
soon.
Not a small part of the credit for
the achievement must eventually go
to General Pershing. who sent word
last summer that the cight-cylinder
motor be abandoned and a twelve
cylinder Liberty be substituted The
British and French were asking for
more horsepower and he cabled, and,
though the engineers here had al
ready built ten Of the eiEht-cylinder
type, they shifted at his request. This
meant different connecting rods and
crank shafts and new sets OF tools.
on February 1, last, the twelve-cylin-
der Liberty was finally completed and
production on a quantity basis has
come with remarkable speed.
There is no disposition here to
criticise Washington for making
changes, because it is well understood
how urgent was the inSiStencC OF the
military authorities on the western
front that more horsepower be OBJ
tanned. II. developed that they were
SinEularly foresiEhted. as the next
years plans will be carried by the
additional horsepower OF 1918 plans.
They had nothing better than 300
horsepower in France at the time the
shift from eight to twelve cylinders
was made. and the Liberty will
eventually do better than 40. and
does i35 right along in tests Some
people think it should go to I5O-
hurs epowcr later on.
Power II SuRHcIcnt.
But more than 400 horsepower is
quite sufficient for the allies today.
and they are asking for all the Lib
crty motors they can get. English
men themselves have said the Liberty
was better than the Rolls Royce.
which is not only generous praise
but indicates that the members Of
the entente are working in aviation
and intimately, with
the single object OF making the allies
supreme in the air and sufficiently
to raise havoc with the Ger
man lines by bomb attacks.

is well pleased with the

the entente just as much as possible
and IL we have developed a motor
which, as some British engineers say,
outstrips anything in Europe. Il
mean that Detroit-home OF quantity
production-can furnish thousands Of
thousands Of those motors more rap
idly than planes can be built here or
abroad to take them.
Navy VIII Use Them.
Besides the army. OF course, the
navy will absorb Liberty motors for
hydroplanes as well as flying boats.
so there is little cause for worry
about the number OF Liberty motors
to be available this year.
What they have done here in one
plant alOne-that OF the Lincoln Mo-
tor Company-is really marvellous.
And the finest thing that could hap
pen would be for the Senate Military
Affairs Committee and other members
of Congress to come to Detroit and
have a look for themselves. They
wuld find that on September 81 last
ground was broken on an empty
prairie. and that just four months
later a substantial plant Of brick
walls stood there with power plant
and ever so many tool shops covering
55O, 900 square feet Of space, the larg-
est exclusively motor plant In the
world.
Think Of It. This was constructed in
four months. steam was turned on for
sentimental reasons on LincoIn's
Birthday. and they have already bull;
223 Liberty motors and gotten the
tools ready for a production Of 1000
alone in the month OF June, 500 in
July. 1,T5O in August, and ] 800 in
September. which will mean building
a plant and cleaning up an order Of
$500 motors within year. or a pro-
duction OF motors in seven months
which the British official bulletins
recently estimated must require at
least twelve months after the design
OF a new aeroplanc engine is re-
ceivcd.

HOW UNCLE SAM GOT NAME
(Kansas City Starr

A nickname is not always applied
to a person, but sometimes to nations.
In fact, nearly every nation has some
sort of nickname. Two of the most
important ones are English and the
United States.
For many generations England has
been nicknamed John Bull" John
Bull" means beefy, brawny and obsti-
nate. 1t is a popular personification
of the English people. He is repre-
scented as a bluff, corpulent, irascible
old fellow, clad in leather breeches
and top boots, and carrying a stout
oaken cudgel The nickname is de-
rived from DR.. Arbuthnot's satire en-
titled THE History of John Bull" a
political sklt on the subject of the
Spanish succession, first published in
1712 and afterward reprinted COM
plete in Popeis "Miecallany" in 1928.
Arbuthnot thus describes John
Bull:
an the main he was an honest,
plain dealing fellow, choleric, bold
and of very inconstant temper. Very
apt to quarrel with his best friends,
especially II they pretended to gov
ern him. II you fattered him ycu
might lead him as a child"

vegetables was raised. The National
Commission sent its war garden prim-
ers just as it is doing this year to the
schools, the newspapers, the libraries
and the individuals needing them.
In order to help other communities
which are planning war garden plant
ing and community effort in food pro-
duction the War Food Garden Com
mission, which sent its garden prim-
ers to the water company, send out
for their instruction and guidance
part of the report of Prof. Clarke as
follows:
Sunday, March IS, 1917, the Den
yer Union Water Company announced
that as its part in the great national
food production and conservation
campaign, it would give free water to
all Of its customers in Denever who
would convert vacant lot into
vegetable garden; that 1t would estab-
lish vegetable garden department
and that 1t had arranged with myself
to take charge of its garden work.
"The vegetable garden department
of the company organized with my
self in charge, Miss Maud Walter as
clerk and stenographer, and Mrs. Mar
tina A. Shute and G. F. Wentworth
as visiting gardeners.
"In all, the Water Company issued
1921 permits for vacant lot gardens.
This was in addition and entirely
separate from the 1922 paid water
licenses issued in the usual way.
Four thousand six hundred and TWEEN
ty-one lots are nearly equivalent to
1872 acres, which gives some idea of
the amount of new ground last season
devoted to garden purposes. Besides
this, probably two-thirds of the 3d.
1872 paid water licenses provided for
garden irrigation in back yards or
elsewhere. Those who took pains to
observe estimated that there we're
more than 5000 dry land gardens in
the city So in all 1t was estimated by
those best able to judge that there
were more than 10000 gardens in
Denver last summer. This was
magnificent showing, provided an i'm
mense addition to the food supply Of
Denver, and therefore OF the state
and nation.
"The sudden expansion Of the gar
den industry naturally found the seed
houses unprepared to meet the I'M
usual demands. Several Of the seed
houses sold their regular five-cent
packet OF seeds at a cent and half
rate when ordered through the schools
in the Wholesale lots.
THE surprise of the season and the
most gratifying garden crop was the
potato.
Those best qualified to judge, estl-
mate that with all the new ground
converted to gardens last season there
we're still left 10000 acres in Denver
to grow weeds, breed disease and
mar the beauty Of the city.
"The Water company engaged Miss
Susanne Thompson, domestic science
expert Of the South Side High School,
to give a series Of lectures and dem
onstrations on the subject of canning
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1918-02-15
drying and other methods of foot


drying and other methods of food
preservation.
"The Denver Gas & Electric Light
Company contributed hall and cook
ing equipment for the meetings. Miss
Thompson gave thirty-one lectures
and demonstrations, showing how to
take care of all sorts of vegetables
and fruits by the most approved and
scientific methods. Between five and
six thousand women attended these
meetings, carrying away the know
ledge of what to do themselves, and
the ability to help their neighbors in
the preservation of garden products,
which was information very badly
needed in many cases.
AS the golden autumn approached,
it became apparent that the Denver
garden, after all the discouragements,
disappointment and individual defeats
had been a remarkable success. Hard
work, persistent effort and American
initiative to dare new things had COM
pletely justified and rewarded it. 1t
was estimated that fully $2,OOO,OOO
worth of vegetables had been grown
and that amount of food added to the
national supply; a most satisfactory
and gratifying outcome.
Naturally, with such fine gardens
and such harvest of excellent vege'
tables many people wanted chance
to show some Of their products. The
second annual city garden exhibit for
children, held under the auspices of
the Denver Mothers Congress, fur
nished such an opportunity.
During the month Of September a
number of the schools held local gar
den exhibits. Children were invited
to bring their best egetables and
flowers and arrange them for display
in halls, class rooms or neighborlng
buildings. Most of these exhibits
showed an excellence of garden prod
ucts that surprised all visitors.
at is well to say that the last sea-
son, with all of its success, can be re-
garded as only the beginning of a
great movement. People have learn
ed many facts about planting, cultiva-
ton, combating pests, the folly Of too
much water, and a thousand other
things that will be valuable and use
full in the days to come. Let us hope
that war gardens as such are thing
of the past. But whether this awful
war continues or not, the lessons OF
the last summer should teach us
economy, civic virtue and patriotism.
The garden ought to give us better
food, make us more independence, and
afford healthy and renumerative ex-
ercise"
