What is the meaning of this
lengthening of wheelbase at a time
when there is so much discussion
about European-type cars classed
as midgets?
An analysis of the short cars
now coming on the market for the
1927 season reveals that the short

this connection.
AS the automobile becomes the
subject of more and more atten-
ton, inventors rapidly are coming
to the belief that the principle of
piston motion as a basis Of power
is dead wrong.
3 A piston must stop dead and
reverse it's direction OF travel twice
with every revolution Of the crank
shaft. At crankshaft speed of
1900 rpm, each piston is stopped
and started 5000 times a minute.
Rotary Motion Possible
Rotary motion, many declare,
must supersede piston action for
engine power. The chief problem

bine has been the matter of com.

The American automobIist wants

approximate this ideal.

Views Of Engineers
A four that could do the work
of an eight would be the answer to
the present dilemma in the indus
try which is keeping manufacturer
after manufacturer laundering
around from shorter to longer cars
and vice versa.
. Practical engineers point to the
waste of hood space as an import,

practical short wheel-base car. If
engines We're placed ahead of the
front axle, instead of several inches
behind it, the passenger compart-
ment could be put that much near
err the front of the car and the
entire vehicle could be shortened,
they maintain.
Another criticism concerns the

This would provide the desirabIe

flexibility or room for passengers.
Whether the auto engine ever will
be placed anywhere but under the
hood and in front OF the driver Isl
problematical.
Where there Is little room to
spare, as in the short car, the prob.
lem seems to be more one of re.

sacrifice of power and flexibility
than in relocating it.
The smaller car of practical de.

Rltchie's Platform Called Sound
And Remarkable.

That is sound and remarkable platform
which Gov. Albert C. Richie provided for
himself as candidate for a third term In
the Office of Chief Executive OF Maryland,
and according to political soothsayers. also
as candidate for the Democratic nomi-
nation for President in 1928, says the
Chicago News
Religious freedom. local self government
and individual liberty Gov. Richie declares
TO be vital principles Of the true American
system Of government. The United States,
his platform continues. suffers from too
much government, from the failure of the
States to meet their responsibilities. from
Federal encroachment upon State func-
tons, and from indifference and abdication
on the part Of the individual citizens.
What the country urgently needs. the
platform finally declares, is rededcation
to first principles, including equality before
the law, security Of the home. local auton-
omy, respect for individual rights, free
speech and tolerance.
These are all excellent ideas For some
years Gov. Richie has been vigorous
and consistent exponent Of the political
philosophy that underlies them.
Hosts Of Republicans. like hosts of Demo-
Gratis. are stanch advocates of less bureau
cratic government. State autonomy. indi-
vidual freedom and industrial liberty.

This Republican majority not only de.

farmers themselves. but failed to pass any

Responsibility for failure to keep its

When the farm relief measure was under

CHAPMAN CONCERT.
Rare Treat in Store for Ellsworth
Music Lovers.

The Chapman concert needs
scarcely more than the name to COM
mend it to Ellsworth music lovers.
The bare announcement that Mr..
Chapman will be here Thursday
evening, May 81, with a group of
artists, is sufficient to commend it.
But, of course, is it interesting to
know what artists are coming. Mr..
Chapman has not announced his full
program, but it will be a brilliant
as we'll as popular one.
Benno Rabinoff, the famous vio-
linist who scored the greatest sue
cess of any artist at the 1924 festi-
val, and was easily acknowledged
the star of the same, will appear on
the Chapman tour this spring. Hun
dreds asked for his return last year,
but owing to his European trip, he
was abliged to disappoint Mr.. Chap
man on his tour at the last moment.
He is easily acknowledged as the
best nineteen-year-old violinist in
the worth today. In regard to his
recent recital in New York, the New
York Herald says of him:
"Rabinoff's recital shows the
young artist to be master of the vio-
lin, and scores with an elaborate
program in which he did remarkable
work. His tone impressed big
volume and brightness, as it was
firm, clear and strong, while his
notable technical skill was thor
oughly capable of filling all de-
mands, and astonished audience and
critics"
Out of sixty new and wonderful
artists, Mr.. Chapman has selected

day the highest soprano in the
