Ralph De Palma thinks there are
more thrills In auto racing than in fly
ing in an airplane. One day last fail,
while De Palma was serving as dree-
tor of flying at McCook field, near Day
ton, O., an aviation officer invited him
to take n trip in his plane. The motor
star accepted. He was somewhat new
at flying then, and also dubious. But a
director of flying is supposed to fly.
"Want to do a few stunts?' asked
the officer, when De Palma was safely
strapped in. "A nice question: COM
mented De Palma, afterward. There
was only one answer-we did them !"
Service Was Brief.
De Palma's service in aviation was
brief, as he enlisted couple of months
before the war ended. But it lasted
long enough to give him wellrounded
experience in flying, both in the stunts
which might be compared to the thrills
of the speedway, and long distance
flying, which is comparable to the long
grind of automobile road racing. And
the veteran star lost no time in get
ting back to his own game, firm in the

to most crank shafts. Sketch A shows
the layout or pattern, b shows a side
view, and G. an end view. Sheet brass
or copper should be used. The end of
the shaft should be smoothed slightly,
and then the seupper riveted or
brazed in place. The crank-shafts are
carefully balanced in high-speed
motors, so care should be used not to
change the balance any more than
necessary.
Before installing such a system a
careful inspection should be made, to
make sure that there is room for the
scuppers at all places as the shaft re-
wolves. Great care should be exer-
cised in laying out this work, as the
crank-shaft could easily be damaged,
and in job Of this sort mistakes are
very costly, usually necessitating the
purchase of new parts. A study Of
the engines interior is essential to
every amateur motorists. Il. Gibbs

MEANS DEATH OF GRAMMAR
New Rule Which Has Abolished For
NAL and Elaborate English Style
of Former Days.

English as commonly written today
certainly seems to have lost the purity
and strength that ii had century ago,
observes the Spokane Spokesman Re-
view. Then such masters of the lam
guage as Cobbe, Coleridge, DeQuincey
or Hazlitt were journalists as well as
poets or essayists. and their leading
articles lost nothing of effect on the
public from being literature.
The arrival of the age of steam, cleo
tricity and cheap postage was followed
by a change, not for the better. in the
popular style of speaking and writing.
"Say what you have to say as briefly
and quickly as possible, and don't
bother about fineness of expression. -
became the general rule and practice.
The new millions of readers demanded
that their reading be expressed in the
language of everyday speech. The
obligation of COMPRISING conclusions
about important matters into loo
words, or fewer, is death, in the end
to style. The literary form favored is
: in touch with the turned-up-trousers
fashion of wearing ones clothing. Ii
is free and easy and crammed will

are polygamously welded to singular
verbs, and Lindley Murray turns in his

DEMOBILlZED MEN
 GET TRANSPORTATION
 TO THEIR HOME TOWN

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19 (by As sociated Press). Soldiers upon de- mobilization are entitled to transpOr- tation at five cents per mile either to their bonaflde home town, or to the point of enlistment, according to new orders now in effect in the demobiliza- tion camp here, it was announced by Captain Roger H. Waite. Heretofore transportation was granted only to the point of enlistment or induction. Under the new arrangement, regardless of where the soldier entered service, he is entitled to transportation upon dis charge to his real home.
 Generalization officers are empow- cred to transfer men to other camps nearer the home town, or give trans portation direct to the home town, whichever is most desirable.
 Many soldiers previously discharged from the army and granted three and one half cents mileage, are entitled under the ruling to the additional amount to make up the five cents per mile. To obtain these discharged soldiers should present themselves to the nearest army recruiting office or communicate with the nearest recruit ing station. The recruiting station will send a copy of the discharge and an affidavit to the zone finance officer, Lemon building, Washington, D. G., who will thereupon send check for the amount due to the discharged soldier.

CALIFORNIA FIG TREE
 REACHES l25 YEAR MARK

SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 19 (by Associated Press).-George H. Hecke. state commissioner of horticulture, re. gently endeavored to obtain list of the oldest fig trees in California and found three that had passed the half century mark, including the one at the Mission San Jose, which is said to be the oldest in the state. It is said to be 125 years old and it's trunk meas ures seventeen feet in circumference.
 One was listed from Corninf, Te- hama county as being sixty years old, with trunk thirteen and one-half feet in circumference, and R. H. McCloud, of Stockton, reported to Heckethat he had a fig tree in his back yard that had passed the half century mark, which produced a bountiful crop each year.

the blades cannot be set so as to ob- tain all of the lighting power the en- zine could furnish.
 The navy has been working for months with reduction gear system to go between the engine and the pro- peller. A similar device has permit ted destroyers to use turbine engines, but it has found a difficult task to de- sign a lightweight reduction gear for seaplanes or other aircraft. Should this device be worked out, the NC sea- planes could be made much more ef- ficient and their cruising radius be greatly increased.
 As to the sea-keeping qualities of the NC planes, the experience of the NC-1 and NC-3 indicate to experts that some way must be found to get the plane surfaces higher out of water This would save them from battering into the sea when riding the surface. A monoplane type flying boat is being experimented with which may develop enough to warrant search in that direction.
 New gasoline motors for lighter than air craft have been worked out and received their first test on the flight of the dirigible C-5 from Montauk Point, Long Island, to St. Johns, New foundland. So we'll did they function that decision had been made to at tempt at a direct flight to Ireland with the C-5 before the ship was blown to sea and wrecked. Another attempt to cross the Atlantic will be made as soon as similar engines can be install ed in another aircraft of the "C" type.
 Extensive tests with dirigibles driv- en by the motors previously employed for this service are said to have dem- onstrated that the big gasbags could not carry enough fuel to insure safe passage across the Atlantic. A Pa cific coast concern then turned out the engines which went into the C-5 after they had been tested at the navy yard gear in a 275-hour continuous run which gave remarkable results in fuel economy. Details of engine construc- tion and performance have not been disclosed but if is understood that on the 26-hour continuous flight of the C-5 from Montauk Point to St. Johns, the motors did better than was ex- pected.
