New Gasoline Engine

Victor Maxim, of Reno, is the
inventor of a gasoline engine that
is attracting considerable atten-
tion from technical experts and
engineers. The engine which
Maxim has developed during
spare hours is rotary similar to
that used on some airplanes but
has several revolutionary princi-
pies. 1t is two-cycle, has no val
yes, no oiling system, water cool
er or timer. 1t weighs 120 pounds
and develops thirty horsepower
almost without vibration. Six cy-
finders are connected in a circle
to a central shaft, and a rotary
pump pumps the gasoline mixture
to them under pressure. The gas
is exploded in the heads of the cy-
finders and the pistons go down
below several openings in the
sides of the cylinders, out of
which the spent gas is whirled by
the circular motion of the engine.
The oil is mixed in a ratio of five
to one, with the gasoline in tank,
and pumped thru the carburetor.
Before the mixture has reached
the cylinders it has separated and
the oil does the lubricating with
out the cumbersome oiling sys-
tenn usually used. The timer is
replaced by contact plates on each
cylinder, which come in contact
with fixed connection as the
whole revolves. The inventor has
done everything to reduce the
parts to the simplest order and
has gained lightness and efficien-
cy to a remarkable degree.
The engine, when placed in an
auto, the inventor claims, will cut
the weight and cost in half

Charters are Sought
for 3O1 New Banks

There have been 301 applica-
tions for new national bank char
ters during the eight months end
ing August 81, 1919, according to
the Comptroller of the Currency,
who states that these requests
come from thirty-nine different
states and represent new capital
to the aggregate of $24,572, 900.
There were sixty-one such appli-
cations during the month of Aug
ust alone.
The applications, indicating a
flourishing financial condition
over the entire country, come from
the states in the following pro-
portion: From Montana, 26; from
California, 81; from Texas and
Kansas, each II; from Oklahoma,
16; from Minnesota, 12; from
South Dakota, IL; from Pennsyl-
vania and New York, each 10;
from Illinois and Colorado, each
8; from Idaho, North Dakota and
South Carolina, each Z; from
Massachusetts, 6; and from New
Jersey, Virginia and Arkansas, 5
each.
These figures represent an in
crease of seventy per cent in char
ter requests for the same period
in 1918 and an increase of 145
per cent in new capital over the
same period year ago. Since
January 1, 1919, there have been
about seven times as many new
charters granted and applications
for increases in national bank
capital as there have been reduc-
tions of capital and liquidation.

No Hand Grenade Banks

The Savings Organization of
the Tenth Federal Reserve district
has just been informed by the
Treasury Department that the
Secretary of War, deciding that
hand grenades converted into saw
ings banks should not be sent
broadcast thruout the country,
has cancelled his arrangement to
furnish grenades to the Treasury
Department.
Altho more than 100000 of
these grenades have been sold to
the banks. in the Tenth District,
the children who have entered in
to the savings plan during their
vacation, must content themsel-
yes with Certificates of Apprecia-
tion issued by the Treasury De-
partment for their services.
These Certificates are being pre-
pared in Washington and will be
issued by the Savings Organiza-
tion.
The War Department gave it's
approval of the grenade distribu-
tion several weeks ago. It's re-
cent decision comes as a surprise
but was evidently made on ac-
count of complaints made that the
grenades might become a menace
to the safety of children and fam
lilies owing to the possibility Of
again converting them into dan
gerous weapons.

There is sufficient wool on hand
in this country to last the United
States more than year and a
half, according to statements re-
Gently made by DIR. S. w. Mcclure,
secretary of the National Wool
Growers association. DR.. Nc
Clure claims there are approxi-
mately 600,00O,OOO pounds of wool
on hand in this country. This he
declares, is ample to meet the
country's needs for eighteen
months. In addition to this stock,
the possibilities for purchase
abroad must be taken into account
and though these are somewhat
limited at this time it is expected
the surplus stocks in the Austria
lian and other markets will be-
come more and more available to
the United States as the recon-
struction period passes.

Parcel Post Truck to Prove
Blow to High Cost of Living

WaSnlngton.-Ihep pOStOmce de-
partment should go far toward
offsetting the cost of living in the
population centers of Colorado
and other states, and at the same
time demonstrate the benefit of
motor trucks to the farmer and
small town merchant by the de-
livery of foodstuffs by means of
the parcel post.
At the present time there are
several parcel post deliveries of
this character in and out of Wash
ington every day and the national
capital is cited as furnishing an
illustration of what may be ac-
complished elsewhere. All routes
tap fertile farming country and
are the means of bringing the
farmer and his city brother clos
er together, as we'll as educating
both to the value of motor trans
portation.
Southern Maryland, with Scot
land postoffice as the terminus, is
one route. In the course of it's
days trip the government truck
covers approximately 160 miles. 1t
picks up the foodstuff and deliv-
ers it to the doors of Washington
ians the same day. One day re-
Gently party of government offic-
ials, accompanied the mail truck
over the southern Maryland route
to see just how the plan was op-
Grating.
At the various postoffices along
the route on the trip down the
mail truck, a two-ton machine,
equipped with pneumatic tires.
which runs on a fixed schedule of
about 20 miles an hour, dropped
the mail and packages that had
been sent from Washington to
residents of that section.
Starting on the return trip, the
first thing mailed to Washington
was a basket of tomatoes. They
were in the crate and simply had
a cloth cover over the top to keep
them from spilling. A tag with
the necessary stamps for postage
and the address of the party to
whom mailed was attached. Next
there was picked up crate of
eggs, tagged and stamped in the
same manner. Various other ar
ticles of produce were picked up
at the different postoffice stations.
On arrival in Washington these
were delivered after being duly
received at the postoffice depart
ment.
People who have goods shipped
in this manner have arrange
ments with different farmers, or
storekeepers along the route. The
price paid is the prevailing mar
ket price of the day of shipment.
Much of the produce shipped in
this manner is sent to the COM
munity centers about the city,
some farmers and country mer-
chants preferring to do this, as it
enables them to make larger bulk
shipments.
The plan not only is working
here to the satisfaction of both
seller and buyer, but it is daily
demonstration of the possibilities
of motor trucks. People who
might be able to use a truck on
their farm or at their place of
business but are skeptical about
the practicability of them would
have all doubt removed from their
mind if they could see these gov
ernment-owned and operated
trucks covering their route day
after day, regardless of the
weather and on the same running
time each day.

Precautions to be Taken
to Ward Off the Flu

The observance of few ordin-
ary health precautions during the
coming months will ward off any
possible recurrence of an influ-
enza epidemic similar to the one
which occurred at this time last
year, according to members of the
state health board.
A pamphlet now is being pre-
pared for distribution to the doc
tors and citizens of the state urg-
ing them to care particularly for
autumn colds" and mild cases of
rose fever" which are apt to de-
velop at this time of year and
which persist after the first frosts
which drive away hay fever.
Outdoor life, plenty of fresh
air in sleeping rooms at night,
mild purgatives and little care
in keeping up general vitality will
go a long ways towards prevent
ing another "flu" epidemic, it is
said. Neglect of these precau-
tions on the other hand not only
is apt to result in another far
reaching epidemic but also in an
increase in tuberculosis.
Special need for preventive
work thruout the state is urged
in view of the direct connection
between influenza and tuberculo-
sis. In an investigation which has
just been made by the Colorado
Public Health association physi-
clans in different sections of the
state have expressed the opinion
that the two diseases bear a diff
ferent relation. The state associ-
alton, which is a branch of the
National tuberculosis association
not only is carrying on research
and educational work in Colorado
but also expects to undertake an
extensive health program in 1920,
including special work for child
rem and the operation of two trav-
cling dispensaries.
DR.. A. S. Taussig of Denver
states in his opinion that tuber-
culosis is not brought about by in
fluenza but that quiescent cases
are made active and in many in
stances hopeless cases develop by
attacks of influenza and that the
mortality in tuhercaiesis cases is
unquestionably increased by in
influenza"
DIR. c. Fox Gardiner, of Color
ado Springs, goes even farther
and says From my own expert
ence l am positive that the influ-
enza epidemic of 1918 caused a
large number of persons to be-
come i'll with tuberculosis who
seemed in good health before be-
ing ill with tuberculosis who
seemed in good health before be-
ing attacked with influenza. l be-
lieve the death rate from tubercu-
losis in the United States will be
decidedly increased during the
next few years as result of the
epidemic of influenza"
81 find a number of patients
who considered themselves we'll
until having influenza last winter
and who now have tuberculosis"
says DR.. G. B. Gilmore, also of
Colorado Springs. Every likely
the disease brought tuberculosis
to focus"
The Importance of research
work to learn more of the pathol-
ogy of influenza is urged by DR..
H. R. Bull of Grand Junction who
states, 81 am certain that many a
case of latent tuberculosis has
been excited into activity by an
attack of influenza"
DR.. Charles A. Davlin of Ala
mosa hospital says MANY latent
or seemingly arrested tuberculo-
sis cases have lighted up follow
ing an attack of influenza or in
fluenza pneumonia and several
of these cases have died of tuber-
culosis, following an influenza at
tack"

KIWANIANS HEAR TALK
ON ELECTION REFORM
Local Club Charter Complete-Week-
ly Luncheon Today

Nearly one hundred per cent of its
membership, numbering forty-three
at that time, was present at the reg
ular weekly luncheon and pow-wow of
the Medina Kiwanis Club last Friday
noon at the Christian church.
The speaker was Walter Millard,
secretary of the American Proper
tional Representation League, whose
efforts are toward national reform
in voting. Manipulated elections
would be an impossibility if proper
tional representation was adopted, de-
clared Mr.. Millard. Under the pro-
portional plan, he explained, pri-
maries are not required, the candi-
dates being nominated by petition and
the ballots are not counted at pre-
cincts, but merely sorted according to-
first choices and then sent to central
counting place. This, said Mr.. Mil
lard, would do away with possible
fraud and result in greater accuracy.
The proportional system, he asserted,
is the best means now in operation of
assuring majority rule. Mr.. Millard
conducted a small election to demon
strate the plan.
The charter membership of the To-
cal Kiwanis Club was completed on
Monday Of this week and Field Repre-
sentative George M. Denton, has al
ready set the official wheels in motion
for the delivery Of the charter, which
he says he hopes to accomplish by
the first of the new year. This would
be in advance of two other Kiwanis
clubs he has organized this fall.
The Medina Kiwanis Club already
has representation on the State Board
of Trustees, Kiwanian Harold Y.
Ziegler having been elected by the
local organization at the luncheon
last Friday and directed to attend a
meeting of the board held at the
Statler hotel, Cleveland, on. Tuesday.
A report of the meeting will be made
by Mr.. Ziegler at the luncheon today
-Friday--at the Christian church.
The speaker at the luncheon today
will be Rev. Geo. C. Baner, of the
Universalist church Of Akron, on the
subject Creating Confidence by
Your Business Dealings" Rev. Baner
enjoys wide reputation as public
speaker and is an active member Of
the Kiwanis club Of his home city.

LIMITATIONS IN YE EDITORS RIGHTS

Certain people have peculiar notions as to what con-
stutes news, and the rights of the newspaper They
overlook the fact too that the public have certain rights
as to what constitutes and the duties the newspapers
owe to the great, wide public
You often hear the expression, "That's my pri-
vate affair." the pubc-and especially the newspapers,
they mean-have no business to pry into that and no
rights as to what do or how much little cover up
of it'&
What is public news, and where and when do the
rights of the public that the rights Of
the newspaper which is but subject of the public run
concurrent with the rights of the public?
The personal rights of the individual have to do with
the personal affairs of the individual long as he con-
fines his activities to his home out of sight Of the pub
c and he does trespas the rights Of others When
he respasses the rights of other ndvidua be-
comes public news property, and we say above, the
newspaper rights concurrent with the rights OF any
and all other individuals who make up community.
But Immediately any individual steps outside his own
home into the public highways alleys, parks, public build
ngs etc. then his every act becomes the business Of the
whole public for he is using public property and what ne
does OF plans becomes portion of that pubcs preroga-
tives.
It is not always to print the comings and goings
of the individual who is using public domain for part OF
his meanderngs; but the newspaper, representative
of this great public has the right to print not its
editor sees t and the individual himself having con-
summated his comngs and gongs has no further power
over this information other than to to it that he is
given impartial dealings in the news SO printed Any
libel of the individual is overstepping OF this right,
but to make it effective this libel must be shown.
So when you hear some individual telling gaping
listener that this that his personal business and he'll
do some wicked stunt the editor prints things without
his permission, just smile to yourself that the poor boob
so efcentered; don't waste your sympathy on the
newspaper man, for he's pretty good fellow in looking
after himself
"My home is my castle" only goes so far as the nd-
vdual behaves himself, has the Drawn to back his
statement. 1t won't hold under other conditions And
right here might add for your digestion the further
fact that the newspaper has in many instances kept brutal
husbands and fathers fairly good temper because OF the
fact that the editor had little respect for brute and
would willing print facts british bully as to eat
his breakfast and really hoped some big buffer would call
his hand so there might be additional half column Of
good reading to present his subscribers the following
week.
