Ford's New Car May Be
One or Two Cylinders

Is the pendulum of motor car con-
struction about to swing back to the
one and two-cylinder types?
The motor car was born a one
| lunger." 1t grew more powerful with
two cylinders. The four-cylinder
the Sensational six" arrived. Then
came the multi-cylinder craze and
eight and twelve-cylinder motors
and predictions OF a "twenty-four"
followed in rapid succession.
Angered by the Dodge Brothers
opposition to his manner of operat-
ing the Ford activities. Henry Ford
has announced has contemplated
withdrawal from the business started
by him and announced Smily
corporation" which will build
motor car for $3.50 to $3.50.
His announcement has caused wide
spread speculation among motor car
engineers. Their estimation of him
has grown somewhat since they cal
led him "crazy" ten years ago when
he announced he would build two
thousand cars year. Those on the
inside who try to keep in touch
with the activities of every motor
doubtless will be one-cylinder pos
sibly two-cylinder car.
+. E. Moskovics, one of the prom
inent motor engiseers of this coun-
try, who has been in Kansas City
several days. says the big production
of a one or two-cylinder car would
not surprise the motor industry.
Just as the war ended England
had developed Q one-cylinder air.
plane motor that was a marvel" Mr..
Moskoyics said. The matter of fuel
consumption has become a big prob
lem with the industry. The even
distribution of the present low grade
fuel to multi-cylinder motor is be-
coming more difficult as the grade of
fuel gets lower. With one cylinder
by counter balances and the fuel
problem Is solved. OF course, the
power of more cylinders is lacking
Several engineers are seeking to
solve this fuel problem by reducing
the number of cylinders. 1t would
be no surprise to the industry if
Ford's new car came out a one-cyl-
inder type. AS far as is known Ford
has told no one of his plans. He is
far from being a mechanical genius.
He hires mechanical engineers and
sells their products. He is wonder
full salesman and his success has been
built entirely on the ability to sell
quantity of motor cars every year.
He is convinced that every man
should own a motor car and will
build a product that will come near
to reaching that ideal. Consequently
it must be cheap, very simple and
very economical. . A one-cylinder
motor car might run thirty-five or
forty miles on a gallon of gasoline,
but its maximum speed probably
would be twenty-five miles an hour"

Barre. being a member or CITY
council Senator Catlin was grand

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATU
LICENSE CASH
TO BE SEPARATE
Hunter Fund Will Be Used
For Game and For No
Other Purposes

When the bill creating the new
department of conservation reaches
the Legislature it will have provision
for the safeguarding OF the revenue
derived from hunters licenses, ac-
cording to Governor William c.
Sproul. II do not think anyone
need be worried on that score.
That will all be taken care Of was
the comment of the Governor on the
subject.
The conservation bill. it has been
learned. is ready to be presented
and will place the game. fisheries
water supply and forestry depart
ments in bureaus. The hunters
license revenue is specifically ap-
act creating the license and there
has been no disposition at all to
change it. If n bill to create a
fishermen's license passes that
source of revenue will be for the
benefit of fish propagation. con-
struction of hatcheries and other
objects. Other channels Of income
will be similarly protected.
The Powell bill. presented this
week providing for "a special device
license for use of outlines, seines
and dip nets has backing of the
Department of Fisheries. An effort
is to he made to get through bill
Iegalizing fish baskets. but there are
signs of rough water ahead for 1t.
The movement for greater price
on the wild cat so that it will induce
more hunters to get after the ami
NAL that knows no Closed season in
it's hunting. as a speaker said here
few days ago. has taken form in
the amendment to the Phillips
bounty bill, which also makes tn"
Game Commission the bounty pay
ing authority. The bounty for the
wildcat or bobcat is raised from So
to IS and for each weasel raised
from 81 to 50.
Ways seem to have been made
for the passage of the Bowman bill
to allow the State Game Commission
to spend 100000 every two years.
The game and fish committees of
the Legislature will have meetings
during the coming week when action
will be taken on a number of bills
presented this week.
