piston and connecting rod to turn the
crankshaft
For example, let us say that the
gasoline vapor in one cylinder of an
automobile motor is exploded The
piston that slides up and down in
that cylinder imparts, through its
connecting rod, a thrust to the crank
shaft. This thrust is converted to
rotary motion by means of the crank
shaft and when expressed in pounds
in a given radius is termed torque
and is given in inch pounds. or foot
pounds torque.
THUS torque is twisting power.
This twisting power represents pres
sure to turn the crankshift only when
the piston assembly is being pushed
downward by an explosion.
ITO visualize what this means in
manufacturing motive power, draw a
circle. Consider this a revolution of
a throw of the crankshaft Now,
if this circle We're disc say
you were going to apply a down.
ward pressure to it's outer edge
to make it revolve, how far
around would the downward pressure
be effective? The force applied
straight down on the top of the throw
would not have a revolving action.
The same is true of the force applied
straight down at the bottom. There
would remain downward power
stroke of some 1856 degrees.
I'm the four-cycle engines in al
most universal use today, each cylin-
der contributes one power stroke for
every two revolutions of the crank
shaft. AS one circle or revolution
equals $50 degrees and two equal 720
degrees, a little figuring shows why
the four vibrate. Its four cylinders
make only two power strokes of
about 1876 degrees each, or approx
mately 270 degrees, in complete
revolution of the crankshaft. There
fore, the twisting action or torque of
the crankshaft is not continuous.
"On the other hand, the six, with
three explosions to the turn of the
crankshaft, has overlapping power
impulses. Each power stroke begins
to exert its pressure before the pre-
ceding one leaves off. Each power
stroke laps over the preceding one
by a number of degrees. Smooth,
steady power like the big six-cylin-
der Jewett engine produces is the
result.
Because torque is twisting power,
the basic factor of driving power, it
is easy to see that other things being
equal, the bigger the charge of gaso-
line and the more powerful the re-

ing feature of this new record In that
cars are going into buyers hands and
even though the Nash factories are
producing more cars than ever be-

William Scott Stewart, of shep-

William Scott Stewart, of shep- herds counsel, had previously said the state had attempted to coerce defense witnesses. but he announced that he had new witnesses, un- known to the state. whom he would produce at the proper time. and who "could not be intimidated."
 There is a legal process for the issuance of such subpoenas. through court or grand jury" said At torney Stewart, referring to the de- tention of Clark on a subpoena and of the pursuit of Mrs. Rheubell on a similar subpoena issued by the states attorneys men,
 This is not Russia" the attorney asserted.
 Mrs. Anna Koch of Waukegan, mother of Earl Clark, the witness claimed by both sides, was brought into court by the defense as one of its new witnesses, Shepherds at torneys say that Clark had told his mother a story favorable 10 Shep- herd and that she was produced to face him and urge her son to tell the truth. Clark and his wife have been in custody since Friday night and the defense demanded that they be produced today.

SHEPHERD LOSES
 FIGHT FOR BONDS
Case Continued Until Thursday
 at Order of Judge
0y The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Chicago, March SI.-Judge Jacob Hopkins today refused to hear wit lesses in support Of William D. Shepherds fight for a reconsidera- ton of the question of his release an bail. because the witnesses were not named in the defense affidavit charging that the principal testi- nony against shepherd had been framed. Further hearing was con inued until Thursday morning.
 The court refused to transfer the hearing to another judge as asked ny the defense, after the court had refused 10 hear new witnesses.
 Dr. Herman Bundesen, health commissioner of Chicago was one of the new witnesses, by whose tes- timony the defense wanted to at tempt 10 show that typhoid germs could not have been obtained by c. C. Faiman. chief witness against shepherd.
 State Bolsters Case
 States attorneys were prepared to resist the announced intention of Shepherds counsel to "blow the states case sky high" This effort was expected 10 center around Mrs. Lucia Rheubell former assistant to Charles c. Falman, jointly indicted with Shepherd after, he said, Shepherd had promised him $l0O,- 900 for the typhoid germs and tn- formation on administering them.
 Mrs. Rheubell claims Faiman never had live germ cultures at his school, defense attorneys have said. She could not be found yesterday.
 A report that the bodies of Dr. Oscar Olson and Mrs. Emma Me- Chinook, eXhumed for examination for possible poison traces, gave evi- dence that heart disease was the cause of death, was made yesterday by Dr. John F. Simonds, Northwest ern University pathologist. who at- tended the autopsies as Shepherd's representative, pr. William D. Nc Nally, coroner's chemist, who is continuing his investigation of the bodies, recently made a preliminary report 10 the same effect.
 Attorneys for Shepherd were pre- pared to attack in court the tactics of the states attorneys, particu- Iarly in the case of Mrs. Rheubell. She, the defense attorneys said, was pursued last night down fire escape by detectives from the states attorneys office and escaped by | jumping into taxicab.

DOUBTS GIRL IS ~~
 OUT OF HER MIND
San Francisco Doctor TestifeS
 in ElIinsSon Case

San Francisco, March 31.--Dor- othy Ellingson came into the super for court here today prepared to hear alienists employed by her coun- sel testsify as to her mental condi- ton, in the hope that she will be sent 10 an asylum and thereby es- cape the possibility of penitentiary sentence for the killing of her mother, Mrs. Anna Ellingson.
 The trial was halted yesterday when the court dismissed the regu- larly impaneled jury temporarily and ordered a new jury picked to. pass on Miss Ellingson's mental quali1- cations The basis of tho test, ac- cording to the court was "whether a person accused of crime compre- hended the proceeding and was able to present an intelllgible defense"
 The insanity issue was a result of the sixteen year old stenographer falling Into frequent fainting spells. Twice she fell flat on her face in the marble corridors leading out of court.
 Miss Ellingson. who shot her mother to death when her parent objected to the hours and associates she was keeping angrily resented yesterday the imputation that she is not in her right mind.
 pr. Jau Don Ball, defense psychi- afi hot Mice EIlinoann was suffering from psychosis and was out of her mind at times, Dr. Ball defined psychosis as a mental disorder. He traced the history of the Ellingson family and testified that Mrs. Ellingson was out of her mind at times before Dorothy was born and then there is the alco- holic father"
 Dr. Joseph Cation, prosecution psychiatrist, cast doubt on the con- tention that Miss Ellingson Is in- sane.
 Her fainting spells" he said. "are not surprising in one in her situa- ton. She stands accused of murder and reacts under the strain by go- ing into a panic, very much as a child when subjected to 8 severe scolding or threat of punishment af- ter a serious offense. A youngster caught playing with matches after repeated warnings, for instance, re- acts when caught much as does this I girl"
