SOLDIERS WE'RE BAPTIZED FROM
 THEIR MESSKITS

Hudson Hawley, foreign corre- spondent of The Home Sector, the ex- soldiers weekly conducted by the former editorial council of The Stars and Stripes, gives the following pie ture of Neufchateau, as the city is to- day, that picturesque city of the lower Mouse where members of the famous Twenty-sixth division were billeted prior to their departure to go into action: "A rather anenic moon was shining down on the Place de Jeanne d'Arc, at the head of Rue St. Jean, when I arrived there-shining down over the tower of the Eglise St. Au- gustin on to the head of the statue of the saint herself, as she stands there looking def1antly towards the north.
 '"The moon just lit up the little cir cle enough to bring back memories. There it was that the 101st Infantry received it's regimental colors, and 23 of it's members were baptized from a rnesskit, the Sunday before they took train for Soissons and their bap- tism of fire.
 sThere it was that they marched
 in review before General Edwards, their band playing Where Do We Go From Here?' to that doughty com mander's keen amusement, for their destination was a close secret. There it was that the band of the 165th French Infantry used to play on alter nate Sunday afternoons. the leather l lunged Tanks filling in the other i dates.

3. E. AUGUSTINE
 INvENTS GOOD
 ROTARY ENGINE

Thousands of inventive geniuses have sought to solve successfully the problem of applying compressed steam and exploding gases directly to power shaft; and millions of dollars have been spent without practical re- suits. A practical rotary engine means simplicity, constant torque, ightness of weight, compactness of space, and economy of fuel and lubrication; also the minimum of trouble and repairs. Two types of steam engines built on the rotary principle are in successful use; the well known turbine for high speed revolutions only, and the Aug ustine for all speeds.
 In response to the demand for a satisfactory rotary gas-oil engine, MT. B. F. Augustine of Buffalo, N. Y., has invented and successfully developed such a motor; and it seems there is nothing further left to be desired. It is the marvel of the engineers who have seen it. This motor revolves with the power shaft, while the bearing shaft of the pistons remains station ary. This shaft is set eccentric to the power shaft which causes the pistops (arranged radially) alternately to approach to'and to recede from the cylindrical walls of the motor easing,
 
 piston cylinders which protrude out wardly for air cooling.
 The piston rods have three Joints, corresponding to the wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints of the human arm. The exploding charge of gas forces the relaxed piston outwardly in line with centrifugal force, thus straig ght- ening out the sections of the piston rod; and by this action, leverage, or a rotary impulse is imparted to the cylinder and therefore to the motor. The fulcrum for leverage is based up on the stationary bearing shaft.
 The pistons are double-acting. On the return stroke the fuel oil is pumped into the vaporizing chamber, which, being surrounded by the ex- haust gases in the exhaust chamber, absOrbS the waste heat in vaporiSing the oil. An ingenious channbered disc having suitable cut-offs transfers the oil without valves. Fuel oil enters through the hollow bearing shaft, thus cooling all bearings; and the lu- bricatin~ oil pipe enters the same way discharging centrally, and being dis tributed by centrifugal force, thor oughly lubricates all bearing surfaces. This motor involves the prin cipal superinduction; that is, there is al- ways a 50 per cent overcharge of un- exploded gas left for instant deliv- cry. This is important in starting the motor; and in aeroplane service will enable pilots to ascend to greater al- titudes than with other motors of equal power; for all motors lose effici- ency in proportion to height

Middleweight Title
 Not in Much Demand

The middleweight title, which has been held by Jack Dempsey. Bob F'itzsimmons, Tommy Ryan and other great fighters, now appears to be one that boxers care nothing about. For years when Mike Gibbons was in good form he appeared to have the title at his mercy, yet he never made the least attempt to win the laurels. Jeff Smith is the latest to pass up a chance to win the leading honors in the 15S pound division. The retire ment of Gibbons left Smith as the only middleweight of any account to dispute possession of the title with Mike O'DoWd. The two were about to be matched when Smith got a chance to go to Europe. He at once turned the O'Dowd offer down, ana sailed away.

REFINERS' PROFITS
SAID TO BE BIG

A recent statement of II. F. David
son in blaming sugar refners in part
4 for the taut situation in canning circles
at present brought a response from
| II. M. Haller, of Portland, representa-
( tive Of the kelIey-ClaTke Co. manufac.
/ turers' agents, who represent sugar
reiners. Mr.. Haller wrote:
1.-The refners are not making as
much profit today in refining and sell
ing sugar as they did in 1918 under
government supervision. The cost Of
refining has materially increased since
1918. The cost Of labor, fuel, carriage
and other items in refining is much
more today than the difference be-
tween the amount left over for refining
and that in 1918.

to growers. and ] think the same are
timely. If the J0bhers and retailers
stock up heavily this year on high
priced goods. which cannot be used. il

the prices in the future much lower
than they would otherwise be. You are
aware, no doubt. that q great many
retailers will not want to take a loss

shelves unless they are actually forced
10. Holding on 10 high priced goods is
naturally going 90 retard the sale and
consumption for a much longer period
than If prices were cut and the goods
went into consumption.
MIR. Haller accompanied his state
ments about refners' profits with
compilation Of figures. Replying to
his letter Mr.. Davidson said
Taking YOUR statements in the abb
stract, ! should say that no complaint
could consistently be made against re-
irers for taking the profit on sugar as
shown by your statement. On the

FINAL MEETING
 OF WORKERS

The final meeting of all workers and officials in the drive to start Sun day for funds to relieve Hungarian sufferers will take place at o'clock tonight in Rakoczy hall. Reports re- ceived at headquarters in The Strat- field to date are such as to greatly encourage the local committee, and f$2 members anticipate that Bridge port will not fail to attain its quota of $16,oO0 during the coming week.
 Although the drive is not to open until Sunday, when 8 concert will be given at t1>e Lyric theatre, Rev. Ste phen F. ChsS>nitzky, chairman of the executive committee, has received a letter from Bishop John J. Milan of Hartford, commenting the work of charity, and enclosing a substantial donation. Regarding the opening of the campaign on Sunday. Bishop Milan states: ''It is not an unpropfti- ous day to begin such a work of char ity.' The Lord did not consider it proclamation to give health to the sick on the Sabbath. neither is the spirit of the day violated by furnishing food for the hungry Such works of mercy are an integral part of the life of a Christian and a most practical form of devotion
 Chief Justice George W. Wheeler in a letter to the committee stated in part as follows: '"The distress of the people of Hungary is overwhelming and the duty of helping them is i'm peratiVe- I especially commend the work of collecting funds for this no b1e cause and hope your campaign may be a most successful one. not only in the amount collected but in the great multitude of contributors"

UNIFORM LAWS ARE URGED AT MEETING
Judge Largest Makes Recommen.
 datiOnS to Governors

l Harrisburg Pa. Dec. 1.-Enorts 1 being made by National Conference 1 on Uniform State Laws to unify civil | and criminal statutes in the> various states were explained to the confer- 1 ence of governors here today by Will liam M. largest president judge of ,Dauphin county, Pennsylvania. Judge largest told how the com
 mission at its session in St. Louis this
 year directed the attention of law
 makers to the necessity for uniformi-
 ty in laws upon subjects being submit
 ted to state legislatures for the first time. He pointed to the efforts by the
 commission to obtain uniform mar
 riage and divorce laws and laws re- lating to wills but winch he said have met with only slight success in most states.
 The desire for uniformity extends to laws regulating commerce and busi- ness affairs but does not seem to ex- tend to those which regulate social and family matters" Judge largest said.
 The extreme southern states have been the least receptive to the sugges- tions of the conference, he declared.
 Arizona and Mississippi have adopted five suggestions and other southern border states less number. Wisconsin leads in the number of acts recommended by the conference, having adopted IT; Maryland has adopted IS; Massachusetts 12: Hi nois and Tennessee Il; Alaska 10; Michigan and Louisiana 9; New ter sey and Utah s; Ioano, Nevada and Pennsylvania z. Ip thls state the leg-N islature has confined its attention to action on commercial laws"
 Laws regulating aircraft should be passed uniformly iE all states, he said. Already there is discussion concern ing the rights and duties of aircraft and laws on this subject will become necessary as transportation by such means increases. The right to recover damages for landing in unauthorzed places allowed landing places pro- vided and they will have to be de- fined and flying over crowds regulated or prevented" For many years the National Conference on uniform state laws devoted it's time exclusively to efforts to make uniform the existing laws of the several states. That is, to the preparation of uniform laws upon subjects concerning which tho laws of the various states are divergent ana concerning which uniformity was de- sirable.
 It did not suggest uniform laws on new subjects but in recent years our evolution has been marked, the chang ing times have developed situations which require new laws and we are now turning our attention to these as we'll"
