 New Haven, May 20 LP>-An al- legged bootlegger who is charged with forgery in connection with a check Yale student claims he gave in payment for wet goods" never delivered was arraigned in city court today. He is William H. Casey, S7, arrested in Bridgeport yesterday on warrant sworn out by Select B. Warren, Yale sophomore of Empo- ria, Kansas.
 Warren claimed that last October he gave Casey a check of S32.5S. dated so that it could not be cashed until later or after delivery of the liquor ordered. Casey is alleged to have changed the date so that he was able to cash it sooner than the student intended, and then failed to produce the liquor. Casey repre- scented himself as a salesman of the Oceanic Importing company of New York. Police deny such a firm exists. The case was continued un- til next Tuesday, Casey being held in bonds of $500.

LEFT-1AND ENGINE DEFINITION
PROVES POSER. FOR EXPERTS
Dictionary Publishers Ask Society of
Automotive Engineers for Solution.
Divergent Opinions Found

Grating mechanism Is placed on the
inside, the engine on the right side Of
the boat has the mechanism on the
right hand side, viewed from the for
ward end, and is regarded as a right
hand engine, although the shaft may
rotate counter-clockWise. The other
engine has the mechanism on the left
side, viewed from the forward end,
and, although its shaft rotates clock
wise from this position. Is regarded
as left-hand engine.
The question of a correct definition
is complicated because of the many
types Of engine used, the various ways
in which they are started. their loca-
ton in boats, sometimes at the front
and sometimes at the rear, and the
attachment of propelers at the front
Of the engine in tractor-type airplanes
and at the rear in pusher-type air
planes. Again, in the early days Of
the automobile many opposed engines
were placed longitudinally in the
chassis and cranked from the side Of
the vehicle, the crankshaft being
transverse and the engine having no
'front.'" unless it was the side from
which 1t was cranked.

PRINCES SPEED CAR
HAS DOUBLE ENGINES
Two Eight-Cylinder Types Of More
Than 700 Horsepower Are
Provided

If Prince DJelaleddin of Egypt
comes within 100 miles an hour of
the potential speed Of his specially
built racing automobile, he will be
fairly close to achieving his dream of
capturing the worlds speed for auto
mobiles.
At present the Prince is waiting for
the builders to turn out his low, slim
racer which is to be powered with twin
eight-cylinder engines of more than
700 horsepower. The engines already
are built. They are straight -eightS,
with 107 nm. bore and 140 nm. stroke
and the design calls for them to be
placed tandem.
A nine-bearing crankshaft and two
overhead camshafts, operating two
valves to each cylinder, are designed
to keep each engine running positively
and smoothly.
One Of the unique features of the
design is that the driver will sit be-
tween the two engines.
Thus, there will be two radiators,
one at each end, and two separate
power plants, synchroniZed to run as
one. The front engine will drive the
front wheels and the rear one will
drive those behind. The aXleS are de-
signed to compensate for any Varia-
tions in the speeds of the two engines.
Single controls actuate a double
clutch and gear shift mechanism.
The car weighs $500 pounds.
The Prince expects it to do ESQ
miles an hour.

GOOD HIGHWAYS ADD

That the construction Of more and
better highways in the national parks
has served to attract long caravans OF
motoring recreationistS from all parts
of the country Is made evident in re-
ports just issued on these public play
grounds.

history, with a 60 per cent increase in

Other highway projects planned in

West are said to promise the develop
ment of a mountain highway system
there surprising any in America or
on the continent. A dramatic entrance
road to Zion National Park. so out Of
the ordinary as to be breath-taking,
has been planned, and the spectacular
transmountain road over Logan Pass,
in Glacier National Park, which will
obviate the necessity of shipping mo-
tor cars by rail from one side of the
park to the other, is now under way.
Roads in the Yosemite Valley are
being paved, while the difficult, steep
grades of the Big Oak Flat entrance
road to Yosemite will be eliminated by
relocation. The main road to the Blue
Chalice of Crater Lake, in the park Of
that name, which heretofore resisted
the progress Of automobiles with a
layer Of hub-deep volcanic ash. is soon
to be replaced with compact gravel
surface. This road building will open
up these Fairgrounds to increasing

The Old Mechanic Saws:

Carryin' ideas beyond their point Of
usefulness seems to be a popular
American mistake, tudgin' from the
way drivers round here try to save
their brakes. There's been a lot of
advice handed out on this business
of lettin other parts Of the car under
study for the brakes and most Of it's
good. But now the average motorist
IS injurin these other parts in tryin'
too hard to save the brakes a little.
Every good driver knows that when
slowin' down, or even when stoppin'
quickly, 1t pays to leave the clutch
engaged until the car is down to a
speed Of about 10 miles an hour. This
IS because the very act Of closin the
throttle let's the engine do some of
the brakin'. The idea is all right if
st isn't carried too far, but as soon as
q driver starts to leave the clutch
engaged until the engine is buckin' he
IS speedin' toward trouble.
A number of drivers use their
clutches as brakes when they are

What Is q, left.hand engine?

w tldL IS d. lSIL-LIdLlO CIlS1A0i
This question has been submitted
to the Society Of Automotive Engi-
neers for an opinion by the publishers
Of Webster's Dictionary, who are seek
ing a correct and concise definition.
The description determined upon has
been given to the S. A. E., with an
inquiry whether it will be true Of this
type Of internal combustion engine
as used in aircraft and motor boats
and occasionally in automobiles. 1t
Is as follows:
"A left-hand engine Is an engine
which, to an observer facing the front
Of the engine. rotates in clockwise
direction"
Difficulties Are Met.
Automobile, aeronautic and marine
men are likely to have divergent views
on the question, which might be said
to be one Of relativity, as it depends
upon the point of view OF the OBJ
server and the position Of the clock.
When automobiles had to be cranked
by hand the driver stood in front of
the car and turned the crank right
handed or clockwise, assuming that
he faced the clock. Thus the engine
and the propeller shaft might be liken-
ed to a right-hand screw, the engine
OclH6 IlO SNACW-uCdo ehlih IAiC SAie]II
the shank Of the screw. The forego-
ing definition Of a left-hand engine,
considered from this point of view.
would be diametrically wrong and
should read "rotates in a counter
clockwise direction
On the other hand, a veteran motor
boat engineer asserts that the direc-
ton of rotation of the engine or its
shaft has nothing to do with the ques-
ton. which Is determined, he says, by
the propeller used. Ifsthe propeller is
a left-hand one, the engine is also left
hand. A right-hand propeller turns
clockwise to the man in the boat look
ing forward and facing a clock, but
to man facing the
forward end of the engine and look
ing toward the stern Of the boat.
Therefore, to the latter left-hand en-
gihe turns clockwise, and the deflni-
ton fits except that the direction of
rotation should apply to the propeller
and not to the engine.
Problem Is Tangled.
Again, the same authority says that
the distinction between right and left
hand engines rests upon the location
of the valve operating and timing
shaft. When twin engines are placed
parallel and drive twin propellers
their shafts rotate in opposite direc-
tions to balance the thrust against
the water and avoid a gyratory or
turning effect on the boat. If the op
