LIBERTY MOTOR ON VIEW
Exhibited by Packard Local
Branch at the Hotel
du Pont.

American manufacturing had It's tn
umph in building the Liberty motor. as
much as American engineering genius had
in creating it, Standing before the Liberty
engine on view this week in the lobby OF
the Hotel du Pont. exhibited by the
Packard Wilmington branch, and ex-
aiming the fncness of that machine, II Is
difficult to realize that from five factories
there were going to PeTshing and the
Allies every day in the SIX weeks before the
end OF the war, at least 1000 OF these
motors.
1t is a dominating engine, attracting
instant attention not only by its SIZE but
by It's beautiful proportions. It suggests
at first glance, the tremendous power that
made il the queen of engines for the huge
daylight bombcrs with which the Ameri-
can and Allied armies were blasting the
cnemys stores and communication lines
off the map IN the two months preceding
the armlstlcc.
With view of the Liberty itself the
exhibit presents q pictorial history Of
how the Liberty Motor came to be.
Everybody remembers how the Liberty
was for months ''the mystery motor.
Claims and counterclalnS were made
about it: Congress and the President IN
vestigated it, several times; finally Sena-
tor Hitchcock Of Nebraska arose In the
Senate and said: The Liberty Motor IS
the Packard motor"
The pictorial review Of the Liberty S
evolution establishes its right to place IN
a Packard exhibit The first photograph
shows the first I2-cylinder aviation engine
made in America. designed and built by
the Packard in November, 1915, year
and half before the United States entered
the war. Next appears the Packard '905
built to the scale Of military require
ments. Then the Packard 1905 No. 2"
built with the first all-steel cylinders.
Between the Packard 100" and the
Liberty there is SO little difference that the
casual eye would note no distinction.

BIRD FINDS SHIP AT SEA.
Linnet AIights on Vessel Par OFF The
Shore.

Stn Francisco, Cal, Jan. 7.-Weary
Of wing and starved, tiny linnet ahghted
aboard the four masted schooner Sophie
Christensen 1000 miles from port,
according 10 Capt Bob McCarron.
A tramp steamer was hull down on
the horizon when the linnet reached the
schooner and one Of the theories as to
its long flight was that the bird had been
a pet on the vessel and, yearning for
land, had sought to fly 10 the far away
shore.
Aboard the schooner IS a canary and,
a. though by instinct, the hnnet flew to
the cage Of the canary, perching pre-
cari0usly while the schooner heaved
and tossed Capt. McCarron opened
the door Of the cage and the linnet soon
recovered. The canary welcomed the
linnct and they are now chums.

BUILDING UP A MODERN
AUTOMOBILE FACTORY

The president OF motor corpora
ton stated recently regarding Mod
ern Methods in the Motor Car In
dustry," that it almost seems absurd
to talk of modern methods in an in
dustry which is not yet quarter of
century old, but in that quarter of
century it has made advances which
have been epochal, and that make the
pioneer effort seem crude. In fact,
the lessons of motorcar development
have vitality affected practically every
other line Of metal manufacture.
In one case the original plants were
scattered about Jackson, Mich, in
volving long hauls between the de-
tached departments. Each portion of
the plants, moreover, was-like those
of practically every other business of
rapid growth-erected almost on the
spur of the moment to meet a press
ing need, or represented the taking
over of an older edifice.
The first essential in making eff
ficiency possible was to coordinate
these plants in one great series of
process was the acquisition of the
present 43-acre site.
The present plants differ from most
of the other great automobile plants
in that they were designed and in a
large measure built and ready for
operation before the demand for the
car had reached proportions to keep
them busy. With practically no ex-
ceptions the great automobile plants
of today, even those which are re-
garded as most efficient, have been
built up unit by unit as the business
grew. No matter how closely the va
rious units of such a plant may be
Joined In operation, they cannot func-
ton as efficiently as If they had been
designed as parts Of comprehensive
whole.
The organization, having both the
resources and the vision necessary, de-
cided to reverse the usual process and
build a plant which would compare
with any in the industry and would
have the added advantage of being
conceived and constructed as COM
plete whole. Officials of the company
felt that such a plant would be ca
pable of effecting savings which would
result in quality car at a price that
would speedily provide market.

EXTRA FAN BELT USEFUL
IN THE REPAIR KIT

An extra fan belt is one of the most
useful accessories that a mortorist
can include in his repair kit before
he sets out on a summer trip.
If your radiator happens to boil on
a mountain trip, be sure you investi-
gate the condition Of your fan belt
before you condemn the man who de-
signed your motor. Nine times out of
ten a motor that heats badly has a
slipping fan belt and as consequence
the proper volume of air is not being
drawn through the radiator. A broken
fan belt is real calamity on an ex-
tended mountain trip, for example, for
1T is very difficult to repair most belts
so that they will function satisfuc-
torily. 1t is by all means the part Of
wisdom to carry an extra belt along.

cars for southern Idaho and eastern

chased the immense plant of the Co

The big city advantages enjoyed by

to increase the production from 5000
cars in 1916 to 10000 cars per year.
These buildings are of modern con-
