Pulling Capacity

Every day the American motorist
becomes more exacting in his de'
mand for power.
Power to negotiate long, steep in
clines; power to throttle down and
glide along smoothly at low speeds
in high gear; power in sand, in
mud, IN loose dirt, in snow. these
the motorwise buyer insists must
be part and parcel Of his transpor-
tation unit.
Manufacturers keeping In touch
with the trend OF public sentiment
are straining every effort to de-
veIop IN their product the maximum
OF power commemorate with eco
nomical operation. Many factors
as: Piston displacement, design and
Fit; camshaft timing; motor speed;
weight and balance Of reciprocating
parts; fabrication: carburetion; ra-
ito Of power to weight; cooling sys-
tenn.
Correct development and co-or-
dination Of all these factors pro-
duce the maximum Of useable power
and are the goal for which every
automobile manufacturer is striv.
ing.
That the manufacturers OF the
Star car have succeeded In most
efficiently developing and co-or-
dinating all important power fac
tors Is substantiated by reports
from every section Of the United
States.

mobiles. In all cases OF expert
ments made on racing cars, the
supercharger has been driven by a
gearing meshed with the crankshaft
of the engine instead Of being act
uated by the hot gases from the
exhaust. In De Paolos car, the
gearing propels q fan, connected
with the cylinders and the intake
manifold, much the same as in the
airplan0 motors
In most OF the earlier European
cars. however, the superchargers
called Roots Blower" or Positive
Pressure Blower" consisted OF gear
shaped rotors, each with two teeth
which trapped certain amount of
air and then pushed it into the en-
CINE cylinder.
Experiments Many
The effect Of the experiments on
some OF the racing cars has been
most discernibIe in reducing the
total displacement capacities sOf the
cylinders. During the present year
all racing cars have displacement
Of less than 121 cubic inches and
next year the maximum displace-
ment win be about 9lK cubic
inches. This means. In the opinion
OF Doctor Moss, additional super
charging win be attempted so as to
give the same or even greater
speeds than have already been les
tablishd.
In discussing the application OF
supe-chargers to automobiles for
private use, Doctor Moss notes
some Of the difficulties to be over

mechanism for maintaining high
and uniform air pressure in the
cylinder to enable greater and more
efficient consumption OF fuel, is one
IN the racing car of Peter De Paolo,
with which he won the 250-mile race
at Laurel, July IL, and which will
be seen in action again on the Balti-
more Washington Speedway, October
"a. when the second national cham
pionship race win be staged on that
track.
Racers Approve Them
Doctor Sanford a. Moss, Of the
research laboratory Of the General
Electric Company, is the designer
Of the supercharger In De Paolo's
car.
The popularity of the supercharger
has doomed tremendously since the
results of the experiments In rae
ing cars have become known. Last
year, some Of the racing drivers
had their cars equipped with them
and virtually every car entered In
the second race on the Laurel speed

given added to the power plants

In discussing the possibilities OF
applying supercharges to private
and business cars as means Of
saving OF power and expense. Doc
tor Moss describes the uses to
which the invention has already
been put. The supercharger, he
explains. provides additional power
hy forcing the charge Of fuel into
the cylinder so that a greater
amount can be used in proportion

out the supercharger the power OK
the engine Is limited to the amount
Of fuel charge which the pressure
OF the surrounding atmosphere can
force into the cylinder, through the
carburetor, intake manifold and
valves.

The afrpIane supercharger con-
sists OF high-speed centrifugal
compressor which in general way
resembles an ordinary fan blower,
although IL IS designed to produce
very high pressures. This centric
ugal compressor is driven by q
turbine wheel, actuated by the red
hot gasses from the exhaust OF the.
airplane motor. Thus, when the

BY international News Service

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The
Federal grand jury was "hood-

Property Custodian, in connection
with the alleged fraudulent re-
covery of 100000 worth of
American Metals stock seized
during the war, Robert S. John

said today.
The indictment alleged that
Colonel Miller, with John T. King,
FORMER Republican national COM

the late Jesse W.. Smith, of Wash
ington Courthouse, Ohio, con-
spired with German and Swiss
bankers to defraud the Govern

ton, president Of the Frankfort.on-
the Main Metal Bank, Germany;
Fitz-Zahn Geigy, president of the
Societe Suisse Pour Valeurs de Me-
taux, of Basel, and Leopold Dubois,
president of a Basel bank.
Miller's counsel said that such
persons as Roxy Stinson and Elmer
Jarnecke.' the latter under two
convictions for -elony, 'hood-

testimony.
Colonel Miller does not know
and never had anything to do with
either Of those persons. Yet it is

indictment is based" said John
