DESIGN MOTOR
ON new LINES
Two Brothers of Moline Have In.
vented New Motor Which
Rules Present Type.

Application of scroll-cam to re-
place the crank-shaft and cam
shaft of ordinary type Of opposed
cylinder gas motor is a feature of
the new engine designed by ]. F.
and P. V. Mckenzie, a model of
which is being demonstrated at
their workshop at 92S Railroad
avenue.
Elimination of gearing for valve
timing and substitution of a
straight shaft for the usual elbow
shaft, with four explosions to each
revolution instead of two to the
present type of motor, adds to the
efficiency of the motor. The de-
signers claim that their new type
of motor is equal to the present
four-clyinder type. The cost of
production is materially lowered.
The new model has only two bear
ings where the present type has
seven on the crank-shaft opera
ton.
Mr.. Mckenzie expects to put the
motor into the automobiles and
will soon give it thorough test.
Patents are now pending and he
expects the motor to be under
within a short time.

DAMAGE Done BY
RECENT RAINS
Many WashOuts in Streets and Dir
Slides Caused by Heavy
Rain Fall Yesterday.

Moline is in considerable trou'
BILE as a result of the recent heavy
rains which raised havoc with the
city's streets ana sewers. The
rain caused more work for Oscar
Abraham and his men OF the street
department.
The water washed out nearly all,
the bricks on Twelfth street be-
tween Eleventh and Twelfth ave
nues. There is no concrete foun-
dation and the loss will cost sew
eral hundred dollars to repair.
Superintendent Abraham put his
men to cleaning the streets yes
terday and the rain came along and
put the streets into a worse condi.
ton than they ever have been
Nearly all the avenues near the
foot of the hill are covered with
mud, sand and dirt, washed down
from the bluff. 1t will take the
street department about a week "a
clean the streets and get them
back into normal condition.

BOARD MAY SOON
START WORK ON
NEW STRUCTURE

The East Moline board of educa-
ton met at a special session last
night to canvass the votes at the
special school election Monday.
There was found to be % votes as
was counted at the polls at the
day. of the election. The board has
but one acre of land to build the
new school on now and the building
will be started as soon as possible.
1t was thought at first that they
would have to move the old John
Deere school house but further IN
Vestigation proves that they can
build the new school building Of
rectly in back of the Deere school
structure and still have plenty of
room for playground for the pupils.
The bids have not been called
for as yet but as soon as the arch
fleets, Whitsitt and Schulzke, of
Moline have finished the plans and
all reports are in bids will be cali
ed for. The vote taken the other
day for the new school calls for a
$50, 900 structure. The building will
be used almost entirely for the
seventh and eighth grades.

AMERICAS TASK.

Besides the great allied nations
dependent on us for the bulk OF
their food-the United Kingdom,
France and Italy-the United States
must care for the food require
ments of practically the entire of
Belgium, Czecho-SIovakia, Rou-
mania, Great Serbia. Finland, Pol
and and the Baltic states and
Christian Turkey, requiring be-
tween the first of April and their
new crop harvest which may spell
their relief, a total of at least AGO.
900 tons monthly of food. Besides
these friendly peoples, it is neces-
sary as a war policy and to en-
tighten the strain of necessary
armies in Europe to maintain some
form of social order by contribut-
ing to Bulgaria, Austria, Hungary,
Turkey and to Germany, in the
same period, 100000 tons monthly
for four months. Please compre-
bend these figures, $4,000 tons
monthly-f1ve steamer loads Of
food day after day for months
Please remember that these are
not only dictates of humanity, but
the clearly indicated directions of
the allied supreme war council, and
that the bulk of this $4,000 tons
monthly of food must come from
America until the new harvest is
gathered.
Since last November, and up to
the approaching harvesting time,
American food, American shipping,
American finance, American human
impulse, directed by American or
ganization and team play, has held
together a world that was almost
gone.
For another year, at . least, we
must extend same brotherly con
sideration to the newly liberated
peoples, striving to secure a firm
footing in the world of opportunity.
We must continue to be their pig
brother-helpful resourceful, gen.
erous. Toward our former allies we
must maintain the same attitude of
fair and helpful consideration. The
fortunate plentitude of our farm
yields must be shared with them on
a fair and just basis; not necessar-
lily charitable one.

new SCHOOL TO
FACE NORTH ST.
Less Traffic on Avenue Given as
Reason to Face School on
Sixteenth Avenue.

New Logan school on the Gordon
homestead will face north on Six
teenth avenue.
Members of the board of educa-
ton visited the site of the new
school building last night before
the regular business session and
made their deciion there. Opening
of Twenty-fifth street will divert
heavy north and south traffic and
members of the board thought it
best to put the entrance Of the
school building on the avenue be-
cause it would lessen the POSSIBLE
ity of accidents to the school chill
dren as they go to and from school.
Whitsitt and Schulzke, architects,
were instructed to prepare the
plans and specifications Immediate
ly and bids will be called for as
soon as possible.
DIR. NJ. G. Robson has been en-
ployed as the school dentist. Last
year the dental work was abandon
ed and this year the Rotary club
became interested and requested
that dental work again be resum-
ed. Dental improvements have been
made possible through the funds of
that organization. School finances
are now in such a candition that
the board can approprte a budget
for the years work and dentistry
will be resumed in the Moline
schools on as large a scale as pos
sible.
Miss Marion Strickland, who dur
ing the war emergency left Moline
grade schools to assist in the Of
flee of the state superintendent of
public instruction will again be
back on the job as will Miss Cora
formerly of the grade
school faculty. Miss Dorothy Herbst

FEDERAL PENSIONS
FOR CONFEDERATES
Congressman upshaW Introduces Bill
Which Would Give Great Bene-
fits to Veterans and Dependents

Washington, June 5.-Congressman
Upshaw, of Georgia, today introduced
u Dill to pension Confederate soldiers,
sailors and marines and their widows
during the remainder of their lives.
The secretary of the interior is alt
thorized to extend the benefits of all
pension acts to cover this matter.
While formerly bills of this kind have
failed to pass because of sentiment
against them, Mr.. Upshaw said today
he believed the war with Europe had
so firmly made one people of the
United States that there would be TO
difficulty in getting this bill at the
session of congress. If this is done
there will be many hundreds of Con
federate veterans and their Deepen
dents in the south who will be greatly
benefited financially and placed on the
same footing with those who fought
for the union in the war between the
states.
All southern congressman have
agreed to line up behind this bill and
to urge it's immediate passage.
