The Same Time in
Hawke Plane Engine

A "fact-fend" who is also Fan
aeronautical enthusiast, submits the
following:
The 12-cyIinder Rolls-Rovce Ell
CINE used on Harry G. Hawkcr's
Sopwith biplane with which he
hopes to fly across the Atlantic
ocean from Halifax to England next
week is fitted with four magnetos
for ignition entirely independent Of
any batteries. Only two magnetos
will be used. one for each six cylin-
ders. The extra two magnetos are
for emergency purposes only. All
II cylinders fire their compressed
gas once every second revolution of
the propeller, thus six cylinders fire
every revolution
The normal revolutions OF this
engine are 1900. each minute. or
100000 an hour. For a journey of
1000 miles at 100 miles an hour six
cylinders firing for each turn of
the propeller will mean l2.960,000
hot sparks from the two magnetos
at the rate of 648.0 900 an hour. Should
two l2-cylinder engines be used the
total number of sparks will then be
25.920,00O.

Franklin Dealer Will
Buy Bonds With Cash
Received for Car Sales

Uncle Sam has a new customer
who has hit upon a plan which with
out any question will stimulate the
sale of ''V" Liberty loan bonds.
H. Pelton, Franklin & Marmon
distributor, recently undertook to
stage a Victory sale of used auto
mobiles. The primary object of this
sale is to help owners who were in
terested in closed models, or other
models built by the Franklin &
Marmon manufacturers, to dispose
of their cars. ..
In order that this sale will in no
way interfere with the Fifth Liberty
loan, Pelton has established the fol-
lowing working arrangement.
Any buyer who has decided upon
one of the used automobiles dis
played by Mr.. Pelton during the
Victory sale, may purchase this car
and any amount which the buyer
wishes to subscribe to the Fifth Lib
erty loan will be taken care of by
H. Pelton. This, of course, within
the bonds of the amount paid for the
car.
This certainly is an excellent way
to serve both the buyer and the gov
eminent. All that is. necessary on
the part of the buyer is to list the
amount which he desires to loan the
government and the loan will be TAX
ell care of the credit for the loan
given to the buyer.

New Sparkplug Has
Revolving Fan For
Spark Development

A new spark plug has put in an
appearance on automobile row, and
is attracting unusual attention. 1t
looks like any other spark plug with
one exception, and that is that at
the bottom there is a revolving fan
which to limited degree resembles
the propeller on an aeroplane. This
whirling fan produces circle of
flame, not mere spark. 1t literal
ly throws shower of fire in every
direction, igniting the compressed
gas tar more rapidly than the ordi-
nary spark can do it.
The manufacturer claims that this
little device eliminates spark plug
troubles, as it automatically cleans
the sparkling points. It is being in
troduced in this and neighboring
states by the Bison company in the

and taking into account the four

basis. we may look to see at least
$4,000 miles of state highways or
10 per cent of the total mileage as
the approximate length of main

tRls will increase SO as probably to
always form about 10 per cent of
the total highway mileage. If the
federal government takes over

will cut into the state system only
to the extent of some 20 to Is per
