WHEN COAL OIL JOHNNY GOES TO SEA
The Diesel Type of Engine.
By EDWARD N. HURLEY Chairman United States Shipping Board

The Diesel Type of Engine.
 The pressures in a Diesel engine are so much greater than those in a
 gas engine that when pr. Diesel
 placed his first engine on the test
 block, in 1893, it exploded and nearly killed the inventor. not being. sufi- ciently heavy in construction.
 The Diesel engine has been widely applied in Europe for stationary power plants. But its application to ships has been difficult. This requires engines Of very heavy construction; and as the mechanism for the grad uaI intro 1Cction of the fuel into the compressed air in the cylinders is in tricate. the motor ship involves valve problems of its own.
 The Scandinayians have made the greatest progress in motor ships. and ] the most successful Diesel engines on 1 the ocean today are built by the Danes, SveJes, and Holanders, or under their patents. We have built some motor ships, as have the British also. But certain difficulties, to be 1 overcome by wider experience in de signing the engines and operating the ships, have retarded the development i of this type. However, there are now l prospects of active development for 1 the motor ship in both this country and Great Britain.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-03-05

The British, especially are very much interested in this new type of ocean ship, and their splendid techni- cal achievements in naval vessels dur ing the war have given them new methods and a splendid new ship building industry, which will be of great benefit in restoring the British merchant marine as soon as peace re- turns.
 And that is as it should be and what every broad minded American will rejoice to see; for the British merchant marine, no less than the British Navy. has played leading part in keeping the world free.
 IF the world should turn during the next 10 years from coal to fuel oil, and from steam to the motor ship, the question of petroleum supplies will become important.
 At present the largest marine con- sumption of petroleum in the world is probably that of the United States navy, estimated at 5.OO0,0OO barrels yearly under war conditions. This
 quantity would not go far in operat- ing an American merchant marine of
 25,000,00O tons, Data upon which to
 figure consumption for such a fleet, with types of passenger and cargo . ships running at various speeds and
 in various classes of service, are not

sHURTLEFF TELLS c. OF c.
 OF BETTER GATEWAY

Arthur NJ Shurtleff, well known architect of Boston, addressed the members of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce at the noon day lunch con today, using as his subject, ''T5ridgeport's Better Gateway" Re servs.tions were sold out long before the luncheon commenced, and MT. Shurtlef in his talk revealed how artistic decorations in connection with the Plaza project, would not only inn prove Bridgeport commercially, but in a decorative sense.
 It was substantially the same ad- dress he recently delivered before the United Church Forum, and he urged city officials and the Chamber of Com merce, to make Bridgeport a city, that would cause the passing traveller to take more than one look.

ASSEMBLY HAS
 BUSY SESSION
disappointment for Bartlett Gas Light Bond Issue
 Changed.

Hartford, March 5.-w1th s9 bills on the calendar, both branches of the General Assembly today had a very busy session.
 The Senate voted on 30 measures in side of a half hour, while the House disposed of even rIN0re than that num- Der in the same period. Few of these bills were of general importance and required merely routine consideration The big bill in the House was the general deficiency appropriation bill, carrying about one and three-fourths million dollars, which was explained in detail by MT. Eaton, of North Ha- ven, committee chairman, before it's adoption
 The Senate bill to authorize the Bridgeport Gas Light Co. to issue
 bonds was changed to read $2,250, 900
 instead of $8,OOO.0OO as the amount
 of bonds to be issued, to confirm to
 state policy of not permitting a cor
 poration to issue more than an equiv
 alent of 75 per cent, of its capital stock.
 The House adopted resolutions for
 F. P. Hinckley, judge. and L. D. Fair
 brother, deputy judge at Stonington;
 J. T. MeskiIl, judge at New Britain;
 F. A. Sears and s. H. Scofeld, judges at Naugatuck.
 Judgeship resolutions adopted by the Senate gave re-appointment for
 the full term and to fill vacancies in each instance to Bernard 2. Higgins
 and George H. Atkins at Torrington. and the House resolution for Judge
 F. A. Bartlett, of Bridgeport, was adopted in concurrence.
 Two bills to change the law relative to the employment of children under the age of Is were adversely reported, it being explained that the present law was flexible enough to meet all requirements. Another adverse re- port was on a bill to require doors on places which one or more persons are employed to swing outward. Of the more than three-score bills adopted the most important, aside from the deficiency bill, was that to control places of tlI-repute. The bill was drawn at the request of the FTed- eral government in order to throw further safeguards for men in ser vice. Amonng other things it pro- vides for jail sentences in cases of conviction.

DR.. Abbott then produced a state

He handed it to Sanborn who in

statement of the patient to be used

cause Of the condition.

AS DR.. Abbott's testimony brought
out that Bernice did not think she
was dying when she signed the

her medicine for her fever. also pre-

didn't see any wound.
Dr. Abbott said that he had hoped

as another. He thought, after the
operation that she was going to get
better. He said that he told the

he did not consider that was the
best thing to do.
