of Some of the NeU LalDs Passed

some very constructive Legislation
was enacted which will rebound to the
benefit of agriculture.
There can hardly be any subject Of
more far reaching Importance to ag-
riculture than the suppression and
eradication of obnoxious weeds. The
1927 weed law prohibited the selling
for seed purposes or sowing any seeds
or grains containing more than two
per cent of weeds. The 1929 weed law
provides that if there are more than
ten weed seeds per pound of quack
grass, Canadian thistle, SOW thistle,
dodders, leafy spurge, OK eye, daisy
or buckhorn plantain that the per-
centage of these weeds found therein
be put on the label and that if the
seed contains less than ten weed seeds
of all kinds per pound the label
must contain the word "trace" and
the name of every kind of weed seeds
so found shall appear on the label.
Due to a demand for increased in

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ACCOTINK, Va, December 21.-In
the absence of an eyewitness to the
collision early today in Prince William
County on the Richmond Highway,
which resulted in the death of S. Gale
Lindsay Of Durham, N. c., Coroner G.
A. Ransom of Fairfax County postponed
an inquest until more definite testi-
mony can be obtained.
Meanwhile an effort is being made
to locate j. E. Ormes, also of Durham,
driver of the car which was hit and
demolished by the motor cycle on which
Lindsay was riding. OrmeS was last
seen in Washington at the Union Sta
ton and it is hoped he will commune
cate Immediately with authorities of
either Fairfax or Prince William
County.
Parents on Way to Scene.
LindSay's parents are en- route to
Alexandria where their sons body is
in charge of the Denaine mortuary
establishment.
The accident took place about $50
o'clock this morning. Young Lindsay,
en- route from New York City to his
home in North Carolina, had head on
collision with the car driven by Ormes,
which, by a strange coincidence, was
headed north from Durham. Both the
automobile and motor cycle caught
fire
Lindsay's head and face were badly
crushed and his legs burned. Ormes
escaped with only minor injuries.
Autoist Gives Aid.
S. F. Chandler of Montross, Va, the
first automobilist to arrive at the scene,
drove to Fort Humphreys for assistance
for Lindsay. The young man died
hospital. Chandler later transported
Ormes to Washington, leaving him at
the Union Station. According to a
message telephoned to Fort Humphreys
by Chandler later in the day, Ormes
said he would send his report of the
accident to authorities in Prince Will
liam County.

SUPREMACY OF AIR
BY u. S. FORESEEN
Cleveland Engine Manufac-
turer Offers Trophy for
Fastest Land Plane.

ny the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, December 21.-Amer-
lea as the future leader In the en-
couragement Of greater airplane speed
and performance is foreseen today by
Charles E. Thompson, Cleveland manu-
facturer of airplane engine parts. who
has announced the Thompson trophy
for the fastest land plane participating
in the international free-for- all events
at future national air races in this
country.
Thompson said the international
free-for-all will bear the same relation
to land performance as the Schneider
Cup races do to seaplane competition.
All Nations Invited.
All nations having air services are
asked to participate in the land plane
events. They will be called Thompson
trophy races. and a cup to be presented
by Thompson Products. Inc, Of which
Thompson is president, is being de-
signed.
The Thompson trophy race has been
approved by the National Aeronaauti-
cal Association and letters of invita-
ton are to be sent to other nations
and to manufacturers of airplanes.
Land plane speed should surpass that
OF seaplanes, in the belief of Thompson.
They formerly did. In 1927, however, 1t
was surpassed by a seaplane travelling
278 miles an hour. At the last
Schneider Cup race the winner aver
aged 328.68 miles an hour.
Theoretically. however. Thompson
points out. land planes should be
speedier than seaplaneS with their
bulky pontoons that offer a large
amount of resistance to the wind. The
tendency toward making landing gear
on land planes retractable also makes
for greater speed, he said.
AS in the national free-of-all event
at the air races here last September,
planes participating in the Thompson
trophy races may be entered regardless
of size or type. Motive power may be
either gasoline, oil or rocket.
All Glasses Eligible.
Additional interest is expected to be
derived from the fact that planes may
be either commercial, military or naval.
The race will be In the $4,000 class,
according to Thompson. It is en-
dowed by the donors for $4,000 and
the endowment fund is posted by the
association.
The trophy is to symbolic speed in
q prophetic fashion, Thompson said 1t
will be presented each year to the win
ming country
The endowment is to be used for the
purchase of replicas or plaques of the
trophy They will be presented to the
first three flyers to place. Prizes for
the flyers, the amounts to be decided
on by the aeronautic association, are
to be given in addition.
If the winning pilot is in a CONNER
cial plane the trophy will be presented
by the Assistant Secretary of Commerce
in Charge of Aviation, If in a naval
or military plane by the corresponding
Official in the Navy and War Depart
inents respectively
The announcement Of the award fol-
lowed as sequel to the free for-all race
last September at the National Air
Races, which was won by Douglas Davis
Of Atlanta, Ga, in low-wing Travelair
monoplane powered with a 300-horse-
power Wright engine. His average
a1-AAd was 200 miles an hour.

BY II. CLIFFORD BROKAW,
Automobile Technical Adviser.

Some motorists have had this sort of
experience. They have been driving
along the road in q heavy shower, per-
haps they drive through a puddle that
has formed in the road. The engine
starts to sputter and skip. Maybe 1t
stops entirely. In a few mint IS, or
perhaps seconds. It will run along again
without trouble. Water has splashed
through the radiator and settled on the
spark plugs. forming a patch for the
current on the outside OF the plug and
robbing the cylinder of its spark. In a
short time the heat of the engine drys
up this water and everything functions
as usual.
It Ia we'll known by the informed
automobile driver that three things are
required before a gasoline engine will
operate, and all three of these must be
functioning in order to get the desired
result. In the first place it is essential
to have q mixture of gasoline and air
in the engine cylinders Strange as It
may seem to some, pure gasoline does
not give the power which makes the
automobile 60. This gasoline has to be
used in combination with q certain
amount Of air.
All lie ScCOlQ place CLlS
Of gasoline and air must be compressed,
that is, squeezed into a small space.
The third of the three things required
is thct there must be a spark to set fire
to the mixture Of gasoline and air a.
the correct time. Throughout the his
tory Of the automobile there have been
a variety of methods employed to pro-
vide this spark.
Today most automobile engines de-
pend upon jump spark for ignition.
with storage battery as the source OF
the current. These systems give an
electric spark which passes across the
points OF the spark plug in the cylinder
Of the engine and sets fire to the mix
ture Of gasoline and air which has been
compressed.
The battery employed In the modern
automobile has three cells which gen.
crate electricity at about six volts pres
sure. This voltage has sufficient force
to provide plenty of CURRENT for the
headlights and even to operate the
motor which cranks over the engine In
starting But. although only a small
quantity Of electricity is required to
ignite the gas in the engine, there must
be SUFFICIENT pressure back Of 1t to force
1t across the open gap in the spark plug
TO form an arc or flame.
To obtain this pressure the current
is led from the battery to transformer
or induction coil. where the pressure is
built up to several thousand volts. This
high voltage current then passes from
the induction coil to distributor.
