is attracting unusual attention at
the private salon being held this
week at the Mayflower Hotel.
The new coaches represent an
entirely new development in auto
mobile body design and arr the
lowest priced Pierce Arrow closed
cars ever offered the public. The
bodies are Of northern white ash
and hand-hammered aluminium. the
same as all Pierce-Arrow bodies,
and are built entirely in the Pierce
Arrow body shops. They are Of
Tered in six choices of color. All
are mounted on the standard Series
so six.cyIinder chassis. no change
having been made in the mechani-
cal design.
Included In the group are
seven passenger four door COACH
priced at $3.50; 9 seven-p passenger
limousine coach at $3,45O: q five
passenger four-door coach at $2.26h.
and a five passenger two-door coax.

oil from the lubricating system di
rect and to provide for filtration
OF solids, Is advised to use an oil
filter in addition. Otherwise the
Job is only half done. One make
OF car on the market, using the
pressure method of preventing
blow-by Of gases when the engine
is starting and an oil purifier, would
closely approximate the ideal II it's
owners would install an oil Eectifier
and aerator that draws oil from
some point other than the cylinder
walls.
Regardless of what methods are
used for preventing diluti0n or for
eliminating dilution and dirt, It If
necessary to provide for clean flel
and clean air to the cylinders. Gas
filters and air clearers are essential.
The actual efficiency Of such de.
vices, however, must be looked into
carefully, and when the super
charger becomes the vogue IN
America. air cleaners will require
complete revision to prevent drag
on the incoming air. Some idea of
the absurdity of expecting one
efficiency device to save the engine
is seen in considering the amount
of dirt that can enter the crank
case through the oil' filler pipe and
the breather tube,
One group Of engineers adheres
to the belief that the real damage
to the automobile engine lies in the
simultaneous existence of sludge
and dilution, and is not traceable to
either one alone. They have dem
onstrated 10 their own satisfaction
and contend that an engine will run
on nearly so per cent diluted
supply of oil without damage pro
vided there is no dirt or sludge in
the oil, and that If there is no
gasoline, kerosene or water presen.
in the oil, dirt can be fed to- the
carburetor intake without wear on
the engine. On this theory they
have developed centrifugal oil
separator designed to get rid OF the
sludge. leaving the dilution to take
care OF itself.
Difficulties I'm Way
This theory is not generally &C.
cepted. If 1t were the problem
would be greatly simplified. AS
matters stand great difficulty in
preventing dilution, which is pre-
Eerable to correcting it after the oil
has become diluted, lies in the
danger Of burning up the cylinder
walls, valves and pistons. Lately
there is a growing tendency to pro-
vide above the piston fabrication in
the form Of a special vegetable oil
sucked In with the gas vapor. Such
devices are now considered a means
Of getting better results from the
usual run of engines, but they may
become essential il engineers per-
sist in catching diluent at the rings
which means robbing the cylinder
walls of normal fabrication.
1t is true that in a Well-designcd
rectifying system certain amount
of oil can go back through the in.
take gas vapor and that this com
pensates for the drying up of the
CYLINDER walls. But scored cylin.
ders and more harm than good
may come from carelessly planned
systems.
The dirt and dilution problem Is
difficult one and all along the
line there must be consideration for
the risk Of creating new. problems
inc trying to find the answer to 1t.

It is no longer a question OF add
Ing an oil filter, an air cleaner. q
gas filter, an oil separator, anIoii
rectifier or an oil aerator to the
modern engine, but of developing
4 device that will do the work Of
all these miscellaneous devices.
Fortunately. the addition of any
one purifying or filtration device
has been a step in the right direc-
ton. A majority of the marketed
devices are relatively low in cost
and practically free from service
expense. But the motorist feels
that the time has come to face the
dirt and dilution problem squarely
and hasten the development of more
comprehensive accessories to en-
CINE efficiency.
Requirements Of Device.
The ideal engine efficiency device
must do the following things:
Keep gasoline out Of the crank
ease.
Rectify crankcase oil. boil out all
water and sulphuric acid. filter oil,
aerate oil and remove gasoline
content.
Filter air and gasoline entering

The absurdity OF believing that
the use of any one of the marketed
devices win answer all these re-
uaiirements is at once obvious. At
present, as q matter Of fact. the re:
quirements are not fully met even
if one were to adopt all of the de-
vices now offered.
Any progress along this line Is
hampered constantly by natural
problems which. while existing from
the very earliest days. are just re
ceaving the attention due them.
One of the most serious drawbacks
10 the internal combustion, water
or air-cooled engine is that. in
cooling off, condensation results III
the collection of water in the crank
case. Gasoline gets by the piston
rings while the engine is being
started and the sulphur that is

YOUNG CREEK BRIDGE
 NEARING COMPLETION

Mir. Cameron A. R. C. Engin- eer in charge of the work on the Young Creek Bridge announces that all the piling is now driven and capping nearly completed on that structure. The work has been hampered by the fact that frozen ground was encountered ln driving the piling and con siderable thaWing was necessary to get to the required depth. The bridge will consist of two forty foot spans.
 When the present work is done the crew will move in to the five mile point and spend some time in putting the road over Sourdough Hill into shape for traffic and widening the approach to the bridge from the Mccarthy end where the shale is sloughing. It is then expect ed that two crews will operate - one to continue the worK on this end, the other to push the road on to Murie's Road House and thence to Dan Creek.

Graham brought hearings on the
Dyer proposal for representation for
the District of Columbia in Con-
gress to an abrupt close today.
= Grover c. Ayers, long an OPP

Besides Mr.. Ayers, opponents Of
the measure were represented by
Rear Admiral H. II. Rogers, retired,
president of the Dupont Citizens
Association, and Frank b. Lord.
Lord neither opposed nor favored
the Dyer resolution, but argued
against it's passage on the ground
that the people of the District had
no opportunity to express their
preferences. He suggested a refer

Ayers argument, the longest of
today's hearing, cited government

CHICAGO, April 28.Back into

gang wars were not an organized

went today for the driver Of the
death car from which "Billy" Nc

Robert E. Grove, was shot to
death and his body tossed into .

They seek Miles O'Donnen who,
with his brother, Steve, is credited
in police records with originating
beer-running gangs right after
prohibition ii Chicago. They
want to ask him who was the
death-car pilot. Witnesses have
told officials it looked like Niles

McSwiggin, they now believe, was
the innocent victim Of the bullets
that were meant for Doherty and,
possibly, Duffy.
In the meantime, Chicago's gang
land was filling the jails as 100

BUFFALO, N. Y. April 28.-
eff Pm taken to Baltimore to be
tried for murder, I'll beat that
charge, too," Richard Reese Whit
temore, dapper young Baltimore
bandit, declared today when
awakened from a deep sleep to be
interviewed by an international
News Service reporter.
Whittemore was in good humor
obviously pleased that the jury
trying him for the murder Of
Charles Clifford, one of two bank
messengers slain in Buffalo
hold-up, had reported last night
that they could not agree on a
verdict and were dismissed.

II was framed here on this muir.
der charge" Whittemore said. "In
Baltimore they've made a mistake,
Internationally"
Whittemore smiled when informed
that the Maryland authorities fig
ure they have an alright case
against him and want New York
officials to waive their claims so
he can be tried in Baltimore for
the alleged Staying Of Maryland
.penitentiary guard.
"I didn't kill that guard" as
serted the bandit, land I can prove
it. They've made a mistake in Bal
timore, and it will all come out. I
am even more confident of the re-
suit Of a trial on the Maryland
charge than 1 was in my trial here.
Here they tried to frame me.
It certainly was a dirty 'frame.up.'
They tried to get me on that mark
on my arm. could have told them
how got that. but a square
shooter doesn't go around telling
things when he has given his word
to keep quiet. The Ku Klux Khan
is a secret organization or I would
have told them"
Whittemore broke off the inter
view to clean up in preparation for
B. meeting with his wife, Margaret,
the so-called "riger Girl" who has
remained loyal to him.
''She's the best in the world"
Whittemore commented.
When the jury reported at II
o'clock last night that they had
reached a hopeless deadlock, Supreme
Court Justice Noonan discharged
them. Roscoe G. Stacy, foreman of
the jury, insisted that it was useless
to deliberate further.

Defending himself against all
charges in the handling Of cases
Of insane war veterans, Commits
sioner Frederick A. Fenning took
the stand before the House Vet
Grams Committee.
Gross xamination Of the wit
ness on specific cases was pre-
vented by an error in the presen.
tation of court papers.
A suit case full Of documents
was brought to the committee, but
It was found that they were not

Fenning was turned over for
examination to representative Rob-
ert Luce, Of Massachusetts, who
has been one Of his greatest de-
tenders in the House.
Upon taking the stand Fenning
waived immunity and was sworn
upon the demand of Representative
Ray L. MiIligan. of Missouri.
Fenning admitted he is recog.
nized by the local court and by
the bar as the leading lunacy lawyer
and that he has specialized in that
business for the last % years.
He admitted that he became com
naittee for insane veterans during
the war while he held a commits
sion in the Army. This, it is
argued, constitutes q violation oil

Fenning told the committee, how.
ever, that the law did not apply in
his case.
