SILENT AUTO
NEARING

!, sARANAC INN. N. Y., July 1O.--.
That travel BY automobile within
few years may become an free Of
annoyances as floating through the
air was the prediction Of engineers
from all parts of the United States
here in attendance upon the sum.
mer meeting Of the Society Of Au,
tomotive Engineers.
The relative merits Of American
and English made automobile en-.
gines occupied prominent place
in the combustion session. A paper
by w. A. Whatmough, consulting
engineer OF London, England, guest
of the society. was criticized by r.. N.
Janeway, consulting engineer Of De-
troit; Alexander Taub. engineer OF
the Chevrolet Motor Company, De-
troit, and Capt. w. G. Thee. United
states Army, attached to the Mas.
sachusetts Institute Of Technology
staff.
The discussion brought out that
automotive engineers hope to elm.
mate the knocks produced by high.
power fuels without reducing ef.
ficiency. Changes in design OF the
combustion chamber and relocation
of the spark plugs. placing them
nearer the exhaust valves, are ad.
yocated.
Mr.. Whatmough. in his paper.
maintained that heat turbuIence
causes present day motor troubles
and showed how this may be elirni-
mated by redesigning the combus-
ton chambers to avoid gas pockets.
The discussion revealed that he re.
located the spark plugs, custom
which Messrs. Janeway. Taub and
Thee showed has long been in use
In America. Mr.. Taub maintained
that American motors are far In
advance of English make.
Both Messrs. Taub and Janeway
acknowledged, however, that Mr..
Whatmough has accomplished much
toward reaching the goal of efficient
operation on high power fuel with
elimination OF knocks and without
loss of power toward which all auto
motive engineers are striving.
The report on riding quality re-
search by DIR. Fred A. Moss of
George Washington University.
which featured the chassis confer.
ence, brought out that engineers
are seeking to eliminate all noise
from the operation of the automobile
except such as humans beings like.

ROYALTY likes
SLEEVE VALVE

The question OF what type of
motor cars the royal family of
Great Britain will drive during the
next few years was answered a few
days ago when they replaced their
personal and household cars with
three new models Of the same type
that have been In the royal house
hold since the days Of King Edward
VII, father Of King George. the
present ruler.
The latest motor purchases show
a continued preference for automc-
biles that use the Knight sleeve
valve type Of engine. These cars
replace models that also were pow
cred by aIeeve-valve engines and
which we're used by the royal family
for five years before they were re-
placed.
The new limousine for royalty's
town use is a Daimler, powered by
a 12-cylinder sleeve.valve engine. A
second car equipped with the same
tyne OF engine will be used for
shooting on the moors, while a gray
sedan completes the personnel cars
OF the British rulers.
King Georges preference for
cars equipped with the sleeve-valve
type of engine dates back many
years to the time when his father.
King Edward VII. purchased one
cylinder sleeve-vaIve engined car
The King and Queen are not alone in
this decided engine preference
among the members of the family,
for Edward OF Wales, the popular
heir to the throne. also uses . car
with a sleeve-valve engine.

Faulkner. vice president Of Aublrn,
This steadily increasing pOpu-

Is due not only to the progressive
taste Of the buyer for something
finer and better, but to superior
performance.
Each year the driving public

said, the cars which yesterday

Motor trucks leave western North
Carolina in the early evening. The

served on washington, d. c., tables.
About midnight huge motor trucks
leave Kalamazoo. The following

From one.fifth to on third of all

Hogs and Cattle
During 1928 more than 100000
cattle, calves, hogs and sheep were
shipped by motor truck to II lead
ing American markets. This was
an increase of 4b per cent over 1927
shipping. Much Of this stock was
trucked In from points as far away
as 200 miles, while some shipments
came from distance Of 900 miles.
To the casual observer, there may
seem to b. but few trucks on the
highway. But trucks. 1t must be
remembered, operate at fairly high
speeds for the most part and { Il
the slowest of them travel along at
i a, much fas.sr pace than the two or

Everyone Benefits
Quietly. motor trucking has as
sunled an exceedingly important
place in modern transportation.
Trucks operate day and night, and
hut very little of the night hauling
has to do with certain illicit busi-
ness. 1t is entirely correct to state
that most communities are unaware
of the scope OF motor truckins.
Everyone benefits from CONNER
cial usage of the hard-surfaced high
way. The farmer gets his produce
to market quickly: to him this means
increased profits, to the consu. 1t
means food freshness at lower
cost.
The farmer is anxious to get his
produce to market at any tim of
the year--and everybody has t. eat.
Communities in planning and build
ing highways should stress durability
and smoothness.

cBy thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.--The an
nouncement Of the Steel corporation
has left so much unsaid that an in
telIigent discussion of the plan is
rather difficult. Ultimate benefits
cannot be questioned, but it looks
as though immediate returns, in
sofar as a stock dividend is con-
cerned, must be forgotten. Con-
frmation of the activity of the in
dustry was furnished in the remarks
of President Farrell to the effect
that not only was the corporation
operating practically at capacity,
but that the outlook for some
months to come was excellent. I'm"
fortunately the outlook from a
financial and credit standpoint is
not nearly so flattering. We are be-
ing prepared for even higher call
money rates for the balance of the
month and judging from press COM
ment, further advance in the
British rediscount rate is more than
possibility. We do not anticipate
any consistent market strength
until the money situation has
cleared.

to stockholders Of the shares of
common stock thus to be offered,
together with such portion as the
directors may then decide upon
employing of the cash resources of

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Worry over

able market news today and prices

quiet.
Copper stocks responded to a fur
ther increase IN prices of export
copper to 1874 cents pound, while
rails ruled firm on the car-loading
figure for the week ended Feb. is,
which showed a record for the year.
United States Steel opened 1900
shares at 1871, up %, indicating
that the action of the finance COM
mittee in voting to retire bonds had
been discounted before. the meeting
Tuesday.
Anaconda Copper opened 1905

high 1t held around that level in
early dealings. Greene Cananea also

ing. andes opened up fractionally

Amusement shares were strong.
Loew's rose to a new high at 1895, up
rs, while Fox scared SIS to 96B and
Warner Brothers Pictures firmed up

U. S. Steel declined to 1865, but
quickly climbed back to it's opening

mainder of the market. Issues which
had been under pressure in early
trading were first to rally. Trading,
however, failed to pick up in volume.

FOREIGN PITS
FAILURE CAUSES
WHEAT DECLINE
Oats Inclined 10 Follow
Other Grains; Planting
Delayed.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-Failure of
foreign markets to follow Tuesdays
advance here caused slight weakness
in wheat today. Corn was firm with
the improved cash situation. Oats
we're slightly better.
At the opening wheat was * to Il
cent lower, corn was unchanged to
Il cent higher and oats were Is cent
higher. Provisions we're slightly
higher.
The sudden change in trend of
wheat from weakness to strength
Tuesday was attributed to the mar
ket passing from an overbought to
an oversold condition. Lack of mill
ing demand is causing ash to re-
ceive considerable pressure. Weather
was better over winter wheat belt,
but reports of floods were coming
from southwestern and central Sec
tons of the country. Liverpool was
weaker than expected today.
Houses with foreign connections
bought May wheat in volume late
Tuesday and many lines sold out
Monday we're reinstated. Lightness
of receipts, with prospects of small
country movements for some time to
come. has been giving firm tone
to trading.
Oats are still inclined to follow
other grains, but attention is being
directed to seeding conditions, as
planting is expected to be delayed in
many sections.

EVOLUTION is
PROVEN FACT,
SAYS EDUCATOR
Darwin Theory inadequate:
Man Knows Nothing of
Origin of Life.

ITO the biologist, evolution is no
longer a theory; it is an established
natural law, indeed a fact" declared
DR.. Fernandus Payne, Indiana uni
versity graduate school dean, in an
address on Evolution" at the pub
lie library Tuesday night.
The speech was the second Of a
series of lectures on recent develop
ments in science being given I'M
der auspices of the Indiana univar
sity indianapolis extension center.
"a theory becomes a law to The
scientist when all the cumulative
evidence points in given direction
and when the amount of evidence
becomes sufficiently great as to be
Overwhelmingly convincing" Payne
declared.
Payne stated that he was using
the word evolution Ito mean that
present existing animals and plants
have arisen, during the course of
their racial history, from pre-exist-
ing animals and plants, and that
these pre-existing animals and
plants have come from others which
lived still earlier and so on back to
the earliest living forms"
IF you ask the biologist about the
origin of the first living matter, he
will tell you that he knows nothing
about it," Payne stated. HE may
tell you that some few men have
attempted to explain its origin, but
that their attempts are nothing
more than guesses.
Previous to historical records we
do not know what primitive man
thought of his origin and the origin
of other living things about him, or
whether ne thought of such things
at all. The Greeks, however, did
think of such problems, and they
raised practically all the fundamen-
tai questions of evolution which con-
front us today"
Tracing the development of the
evolution theory to modern times.
Payne told of the theories as to the
method of evolution developed By
Darwin, Lemarck, De Vries and
others, and declared that mo one
theory such as that of Lemarck,
Darwin or De Vries is adequate to
explain all evolution"
