COol-Running Motor
Being Tested Out West

Tacoma, Wash. Nov 14-(By A. Pr
A new principle in gasoline motors
is being tested here on a power boat.
The tests are being watched by engi-
neers and others to discover If a new
era in the history of gas engines is
to he marked. The engine under ex-
pertinent is the invention of three
Spokane. Wash, men. 1t operates on
a by-pass-valve-in in piston plan that
does away with the need Of any valve
gear and is designed to. produce a
cool-runninS motor OF great f1exibil-
ity.
The motor is intended for automo-
bilcs, but marine tests are being
made also. The specimen under in
vestigation was built on specifica-
tons laid down by group of con-
sulting engineers, after scientific
tests had been made at the Univer-
sity of Michigan last year.
