MORE POWER.

Scientists and mechanical experts are interested
In the statement of IT.. r. Elmer Of Syracuse that
he has produced an engine which viii drive auto
mobile 500 miles on a gallon Of heavy fuel OIL
He says that his invention IS based upon the chem
1stry Of oil whereby he releases its full atomic
energy.
Inasmuch as fuel oil costs about six
gallon when gasoline Is around 20 its importance
to the transportation problem OF the country be-
comes significant.
If his invention be the success he claims for it.
The whole question OF transportation and OF power
for factories Will be simplifed and vast amount
Of waste I'm the Industrial world viii be eliminated.
Real civilization began when men learned how to
master the power that is hidden in the mOlecule.
Up to the time that steam was applied TO engines,
and that only brief time ago, seven thousand
years Of written history still found men chained to
the banks Of rivers and to the coasts
Those who lived farther away than 20 miles from
uavisable waters were savases and outanders They
had no contact with the world When the problem
Of food pressed. they went TO When they wished
to travel the only power other than that Of domes-
,icajed animals was that OF wind applied sails of
ships
steam besan civilization and then followed the
eras of oil and OF electricity.
The question OF using the greater power contained
iu the atom has long attracted The inventive mind.
Perhaps this man has TO- for when he promises

such an invention would mean that men ana
women would have to make l.ss sacrifice in order

owns has a good word 10 say OF
South Bend. He believes in the city
and what il holds forth in the fu-
ture. Coming here a few weeks ago,
instead Of first going to the park he
took a walk about town, looking al
the street corners and appraising
the interiors of the pool rooms.
1T was sufficient 10 satisfy me
that all was we'll" he said. Instead
Of finding the pool rooms filed with
hangers-on and the street corners
crowded with loiterers the condition
was quite the reverse. This way Of
telling whether a city IS prosperous
Is to my mind of greater value that

But what is an amusement park

the park build a ride that has a

The lease held by Brenig is said
to have two more years to run and
its terms prohibit the building of
another coaster. According 20
owens. however, it also reads that
the ride must be kert in repair and
frequently painted and because of Its
present rundown condition, the
new management believes that Mr.
Brenig will be willing TO sell An

What improvements and addi-
tiOns are I'm store for Springbrook

With the summer season but a
month away and thoughts already
turned to out-of-doors frolic, this
question is asked with interest and

obtained at an amusement resort.

trehabilitating and making over this

and greater project?

/ centers. if Charles /. Owens, local
/ manager. is to be believed. And he
says it with earnestness that's merits
respect.
