WEIGHT OF DIESEL
GREATLY REDUCED
Plant for Producing New Type
of Plane Motor Is Near
ing Completion.

DETROIT. June "a plant for the
production Of the Diesel type of air.
plane motor perfected by Capt. l.. NJ.
WoolSon, aeronautical engineer OF the
Packard Motor Car Co., Is nearing COM
pletion here
Announced originally as three-story
building, 1t has been decided to add an
other floor. The change in plans prob
ably will delay initial deliveries OF the
new motor. The plant will have a ca
pacity Of 500 engines month.
One of the real handicaps in adapt
ing Diesel-type motor to aviation had
to be overcome by Capt. Woolson in per-
fecting the motor. This was to reduce
the weight OF the engine. The great
weight OF the original Diesel motor con-
fined its use almost entirely to marine
work or stationary plants. Capt. WOOL
son is understood to have developed his
type with weight of about pounds
per horsepower.
Using what Capt. Woolson calls fur
mace OIL instead Of gasoline, it is
claimed the Diesel-type motor can be
operated at from one-third to one fifth
as much as a gasoline engine.
In recent flight from Detroit to
Langley Field, Va, Capt. Woolson re-
ported the TOO miles covered in six
hours and so minutes and the consump-
ton of "$468 worth of furnace oil"
Reduction Of the tremendous weight
of the motor as brought out by DR..
Rudolf Diesel, German engineer, in
1897 has been made possible by the de-
velopment Of an aluminium alloy that
could withstand the great pressure
brought against the cylinder walls.

ness, the color, the intelligent stimu-
lation they can bring into the lives
of those who are to see them. If the
pictures on our walls were more alive,
more in hormony with our daily lives,
or more suggestive of ideal lives that
might be ours, then we would find
them more friendly and more COM
panionable while many homes are I'M
interesting because Of the absence of
pictures. Most homes have too many
pictures on the walls. To take down
the small and meaningless ones would
require courage but produce more
restfull walls. The Japanese custom
of using only a few pictures at a
time and changing them often has its
merits. People who never change
their pictures get so that they never
see the ones they have.
Rules for Hanging Pictures
1. Hang tall pictures in vertical
wall spaces and broad pictures in
horizontal spaces. Pictures may be
grouped so that two or three vertical
ones will give horizontal effect.
2. Hang pictures low. The center of
interest in the picture should come at
about the eye level, unless it is hung
over piece of furniture which causes
it to be placed slightly higher or
lower.
8. Pictures should be hung over a
single piece or group of pieces of
furniture so that they form part of
the group.
a. Hang pictures so that the tops or
bottoms are on a straight line. If
hung over an object that has a
straight line across the top then the
bottoms of the pictures should re-
peat that line.
5. Pictures should hang fiat against
the wall and not tip forward. If pic
lures are to be hung with visible
wires they should be suspended by
two parallel wires.
6. Group pictures so that the wall
is marked by few large masses. Let
ample free space separate groups.
7. Do not clutter walls with too
many pictures. Rest spaces are as es-
sential to walls as to music.

Everybody Will Soon Be Put,
Put-Puttin'" on Deep Creek

The activity of a beehive with the
sound of output" instead of the
familiar "buzz", will greet the people
who happen to pass along the State
road bordering Deep Creek Lake in
the near future, if the warm weather
of the past few days continues, be-
cause motor boats are going to be
numerous and noisy. All indications
point to a busy season along the shore
line and on the surface of Garrett
county's great lake.
The first few days of summer have
brought out a number of motor boat
enthusiasts who are testing their mo-
tors and making preparations for the
coming season, and already the more
daring of the younger generation
have plunged into the cold water, only
to jump out again, just as quickly.
With the water in the lake at the
highest point it has ever been, and
Just a few inches from going over the
spillway of the dam; with the inau-
guration of the fishing season on June
1; with the addition of several new
motor boats, households, canoes, etc.,
to the list of water craft, and with the
erection of several news cottages fac
ing the water at various points along
the shoes, everyone is looking ex-
pectantly for the opening of the sea-
son, which is bound to come with a
rush-and within a few short days.
And just as soon as bathing and
boating get well under way, then the
talk of a second water carnival is
bound to be heard on every side. All
that remains now is for somebody to
open the season. Well, let him get
busy!

Sunnyside Changers Are I'm

A group of Sunnyside grangers
met last Thursday to improve local
premises by the planting of trees and
shrubbery. D. NJ. Lower, pomona
grange master, contributed As hem
lock trees and 25 rhodendron plants
to be used on the grounds. A variety
of perenials have been added to this
list.
The aim is to improve property
along state highways and to use the
native shrubbery, which is so plenti-
full, to the best possible advantage.
Everyone, it is felt, will assist in
making the place as attractive as
possible. Those assisting Miss Elsie

recorded in the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics of the State Department of
Health, according to a checking up by
DR.. John Collision, Bureau Chief.
Because a record of birth is of
such Importance to the individual, all
possible effort is made" DR.. Collinson
said, "to have every birth registered,
but in spite of this, we estimate that
approximately 3.8 per cent of the
births in the counties and 1.S per cent
in Baltimore City are not reported.
This does not seem to affect many
lives when we express it in terms of
per cent, but it is startling when we
consider it in relation to the total
births in the State. A total Of 30, 45S
births were reported in 1928, 1902
in the counties and 16,446 in Balti-
more City. Our estimate of the total
unreported births is based upon
checking up of the death certificates
of children under year old, who died
in 1928, with the records of births.
Similar studies made previously gave
practically the same results.
every birth that is recorded by
the State Department of Health
furnishes legal proof of:
1. PARENTAGE: To establish the
right to inherit and bequeath prop
erty; to establish identity; to obtain
settlement of insurance; to prove
parents have dependent children; to
prove legitimacy.
2. TIME OF BIRTH: To prove age;
to obtain admission to school,; to es-
tablish right to work; to qualify for
civil service examination; to hold
public office; to establish the right
to vote; to obtain marriage license;
to prove qualifications for, or exempt
ion from civil and military duty.
3. PLACE OF BIRTH: To estab-
lish citizenship; to establish resi-
dence; to obtain passport.
"The law of Maryland requires
every physician or midwife who is in
attendance to report within four days
of its occurrence. Within a week
after the birth report has been re-
ceived, an attractive engraved certi-
ficate is sent to the parents notifying
them that the record is on file.
parents of children born in the
counties of Maryland, who have not
received such certificate are re-
quested to communicate with the
State Department of Health, 2411 N.
Charles Street, Baltimore. 1t will be
of assistance in tracing the record if
they give the name of the child in
full, date and place of birth, name of

of parents, and present address"

Pictures make their appeal to in
