Greatest Plane
Engine in World
Made i'm Detroit
Capable of Driving Machine
at 200 Miles an Hour,
Says Designer, One of
Liberty Motor Creators
Special Dispatch to The Tribune


DETROIT, July ia new 100000
horsepower airplane engine, the most
powerful ever built in this country and
the most powerful in the world except
for few racing freaks, has been COM
pleted here. 1t is expected to develop
speeds far greater than anything yet
achieved. In addition it is fireproof,
and it can be started cold" after a
long dive, thus ending two of the
greatest dangers that aviators have
had to face
This announcement was authorized
signer Of the engine, who is known as
one of the creators of the Liberty
motor.
The new engine, in spite of it's great
power, is no freak. 1t Is intended for
steady, longtime service, either for
heavy duty or for great speed, and is
designed for American quantity pro-
duction methods.
Made for General Use
While the men who are handling the
new engine expect that it will push a
plane at least 200 miles an hour, the
engine was not designed for this pur-
pose alone, and is capable of wide and
general use. 1t weighs only 1.94 pounds
per horsepower.
The lessons which Colonel Vincent
learned during the war in his study of
the actual performance of the Liberty
motor, as we'll as of the best makes
from both Allied and enemy countries.
are embodied in this design, and as a
result there are several notable ad-
vances.
Most important is that the motor is
ffire-proof for all civil purposes. This
has been attained by putting the car
buretor below and outside Of the crank
case, with all vents outside the cowling
so that there is no possibility Of CON
t1agration from a back fire. This ar
rangement also has the advantages that
1T gives gravity feed, thereby eliminat-
ing the weight of extra piping and of
the feed pump, and that it makes the
carburetor much more accessible.
Exhaust Valves Changed
Another change has been in provid
ing two inlet and two exhaust valves
for each cylinder, instead of one. The
result has been a bigger and steadier
flow Of gas to the cylinders, and a very
high mean effective pressure even at
great speed. A double finger valve lift
is used and this permits changes in
the cam-shaft and rocker-arm me-
chanism which make this engine much
superior to any predecessor in the
troublesome matter Of leakage from
the cam shaft housing
third change is in the use of a
single duplex carburetor, instead of
the usual two carburetors. The diff
Guilty of synchronizing the throttle and
altitude controls of two carburetors
has always been a bugbear to aviators,
but it had been felt that two or more
were necessary to give the requisite
flow Of gas. 1t has been found in the
tests, however, that this single duplex
gives splendid results in power out
put, gasoline economy and other de-
tails which, in the opinion of Colonel
Vincent, fully justify the design. He
predicts that it will promptly become
a universal practice with aeroplane
engineers.

Germans Seek to Bar
u. S. Adding Machines
manufacturers Fight Importa-
ton, Asserting They Are Able
to Supply Home Demand

BERLIN, July 2.-German manufac-
turers of adding machines are appeal
ing to the government for assistance
IN their fight to prevent the importa-
ton of American-made machines which,
they claim now are superfluous, as the
German industry is capable of supply
ing the home demand
Action has been precipitated by the
application of a we'll known American
firm through its Berlin branch for per
mission to import LOO adding ma
chimes to meet the German demand
until the American firm has completed
its local branch factory.
The German manufacturers have ad-
dressed joint appeal to the Ministry
of Economics demanding further en-.
forcement Of the existiMg import en-
barge and requesting that Wholesale

France Seeks High Place
I'm Commercial Aviation
Development Of Ali-Metal Air
planes One of Most Impor-
fant Problems

PARIS, June 80. - France, whose
strong war aerial force, in men and
materials, has been allowed to disinte-
CRATE, is determined to win a big place
in mmercial aviation, P. E. Flandrin,
Aviation Under Secretary, told the
Chamber of Deputies when it voted
100000, 900 francs for civil and military
air service.
The development of the all-metal
airplanes, he suggested, is one of the
most important things being sought,
and he said German attempts along
this line "seem to me more dangerous
than any clandestine deposits of war
Materials"
NJ. Flandrin told of typical flights
in other nations, such as the New
York to San Francisco race and the
American postal routes, and then re
ported that the Paris-London airplanes
covered 10000 miles, carrying 8O3
passengers on 513 flights during the
period from last September l to March
l, when winter atmospheric conditions
are bad. On only per cent of the
trips was there more than an hours
delay and only one accident, in which
an American passenger was killed.

The Motor Car Is
A Great Moral
Force, Says Banker
What's More, It's an Essen
tial Because You Can't In
dict a Whole Great Pub
lie and Its Pleasures

Next to the Church there is no fac
tor in American life that does so much
for the morals of the public as does
the automobile. Formerly the pleas
ures of life divided the family. The
father had one avenue of recreation,
the mother another, the children an
other. To-day our roadsides are
crowded with family picnic parties,
who carry their lunches with them and
who take their outing as unit Any
device that brings the family together
as unit in their pursuit Of pleasure
is a promoter of good morals and
yields beneticent influence that makes
for the good of American civilization.
"If every family in the land pos
sessed an automobile family ties would
be closer and many of the problems
of social unrest would be happily
solved. The banker who says that a
device of this kind is a non-essential
possesses narrow vision and fails to
see the far-reaching influence it has
for good. The automobile is one of the
country's best ministers and best
preachers"
Thus E. c. Stokes, Ex-Governor of
New Jersey and now president of a
member bank in the Federal Reserve
system. He says
lit might be we'll to call the atten-
tlon of the banking fraternity to. the
Importance of the automobile, not only
as factor in the necessary transpor-
tatlon facilities of the country, but as
contributor to one of the largest of
our industries and a promoter of the
happiness and morals of our people.
1T is a moot question whether the
automobile industry stands second o1,
thlrd In the country. If all the parts
in connection Herewith are inc]r1ded
II ranks second. What individual
banker has right to saw therefore
that an industry which by the common
judgment of the people of this country
mas attained such proportions in our
1ndustrlal life is a non-essential Z?
burke said you cannot indct whole
people. No banking fraternity or gov
ernment has a right TO say an industry
OF such size as the automobile indus
try, based upon the needs and REQUIRE
ments of the public, is unnecessary and
therefore unworthy of credit.
The automobile is of immense value
to the nation as a promoter of the
splrlt of contentment and as an effec
tive suppressor of the spirit of unrest
no owner of an automobile. even
though 1t be pleasure ear who is able
to ENJOY its use for his family or his
friends, is likely to become Boil
shevlst or a Communist. He favors
the continuation Of things as they are
because he has a means of happiness
IN his own possession, and therefore is
against any upheaval Of the present
social order"
New-York tribune., 1920-07-18
Freak STYLES Costly

One Of the contributing causes to
the high cost of living, declares H. c.
Maibohm, "is the tendency Of the
American people to be attracted to
freak styles, not only in wearing ap-
parel and household goods, but in
automobiles as we'll.
"An effective blow could be admin
istered to the high cost of living by
the entire elimination Of the extreme
and bizarre and the application of
the wheels of industry to intensive
production of things to wear and use
that would be attractive and smart,
yet ir such good taste that their style
would endure through many seasons
of USE"

The National Automobile Chamber

The Nashville Tennessean" on the
subject OF automobile credits. The

NO government board should be en-

Says No Opposition Can
Stop Progress Of Truck

Laws mitigating against the use Of
trucks of heavy tonnage, except upon
the payment of heavy license fees, or
even the opinions of learned judges
that motor buses are public nui-
sance. Cannot stop the progress of
the motor truck industry" is the en-
phatic assertion of George d. Wilcox,
of Detroit. Mr.. Wilcox says:
"Such laws and statements from
public officials will do only one thing
1T will continue to advance the motor
truck industry. If necessary, the truck
manufacturer can be forced to meet
drastic laws by change of design and
can forestall any public utterances as
to trucks being a menace by putting on
sales drives and flooding that particu-
lar territory with trucks"
