OLD ENGINES IN
SMITHSONIAN
EXHIBIT.

An exhibit OF the various sources
Of power used in the United
States, from the days of the first
crude water mills to the modern
central power station. is gradually
being built up by the Division of
Mineral and Mechanical Technology
of the Smithsonian Institution.
Very recently the division received
the "grand-daddy' Of modern inter-
nal combustion engines, one of the
early Otto gas engines, made in
Philadelphia in 1882 and used by
its original purchaser, Princeton
University. until last year.
DR.. NJ. A. Otto, German, in
1877 perfected the first practical
and commercially successful 4-cycle
Internal combustion engine, using
illuminating gas as fuel, and an
open flame for ignition.
Patented in U. 8.
The engine was patented in the
United States and commercial pro.
duction of the engines begun by
the Otto Engine Works. of Phila.
delphia, in 1878. The Smithsonidn's
exhibit was made in 1882, exactly
like the original models, and was
used in laboratory work at the
university for demonstration and
power purposes until last year.
Gottlieb Daimler. another Ger
man, had been experimenting with
Ottos engine and was the first to
adopt its principles to lightweight
engine He installed the engine,
developing IN horsepower, in a
three-wheel vehicle In 1887. sOtto's
engine weighed 1000 pounds and
developed but 4 horsepower.
Another valuable unit IN the ex-
hibit is model of John Ericsson's
hot air engine. patented, in the
1905. Some of these engines still
are in use on farms throughout the
country. The engines burn corn
stalks, or any other comhustible at
hand. The model weighs about
] 900 pounds and is rated at half a
horse power. 1t has flywheel
feet in diameter.
Ran Sewing Machines
Ericsson, inventor of the Monitor,
famous boat of Civil War days,
and one of the first men to take a
ew-propelled vessel across the
Atlantic, adapted his hot air engine
to the job Of running sewing ma.
chimes.
The earliest exhibit is a hydraulic
steam engine, manufactured in New
York in 1901. All phases of power
sources are on exhibition according
to their period and classification.
The automotive exhibit has one A.
cylinder Buda engine, for truck
duty, received in 1920 Very minor
changes have been made In the
engines construction since that
time.

FARM WOMEN
Toll SiXty-three Hours a
Week

Washington, d. C. ULNS)-Judged
by industry's standards, farm women
are overworked, the bureau of home
economics of the United States de-
partment of agriculture says. The
bureau canvassed 700 farm women
and found that they we're working
more than 63 hours a week.
The women reported an average Of
50 hours and II minutes week spent
on home making activities alone. the
department said, in addition to an
average of IL hours and Is minutes
week on dairy work, care of poul-
try, gardening and other tasks.
The standard working week in in
dustry is Al hours, it was pointed
out. The departments statement
says:
"Some of these 700 home-makers
lived in the Middle West, some in
New York state, and some in three
far Western states. The group as
whole represents rather superior
home -makers-those likely to cut
down working time by intelligent
methods. For the country as a whole
the average working time would prob
ably be higher.
Figures for the New York home
makers are typical. They show that
feeding the family occupied 25
hours and 81 minutes; cleaning and
Strengthening the house required s
hours and Is minutes, and that other
items in the care of the house added
2 hours and II minutes. Laundering,
sewing, mending, care of clothing,
care of children, and other manage
ment and miscellaneous items filled
the remaining hours of the total
Clearly the farm home-maker en-
joys very little of that leisure the
modern woman is popularity credited
with, according to this study. The
city home makers situation may be
somewhat different. For the farm
home maker, however, ready-made
clothing, ready-cooked foods, and bet
ter equipment and household conven-
fences have not offset the fact that
at present she gets much less help
from other members of the family
than the farm mothers of 40 or so
years ago. At best, the farm home
maker still has long day, and by
industry's standard may be classed
as overworked."

THOUGHTS are the determnative

be overcome by the constructive
value of good thought. Ii Is

harmony, at the annual convention
here.

MRS. EMMA LOTT DIES
 AT AN ADVANCED AGE;
 PROBABLY 100 YEARS OLD

Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon at the Presbyterian church for Mrs. Emma Lott who passed away at her home between Front and Church streets early Monday morning.
 Mrs. Lofts exact age is not known but that she was nearly 100 years old, if not older, is without dispute She was born in the Thlinget village for many years spoken or as "oId Town" and came with her parents into the protection of the Russian fort at Wrangell during the time the Natives were migrating from Old Town to escape the depredations Of warning tribes. This was before the year 1885. A number of men and women live in Wrangell who are now approaching 60 years of age. They remember seeing Mrs. Lott in church when they were lit- tie boys and girls in the mission school here. At that time she was regarded as getting along in years.
 Mrs. Lott often spoke of the WrangelI-Sitka trouble when the na- tives of Sitka and Wrangell had a battle on the islands near High Is- land in Wrangell Harbor. The date of this feud has been generally ac- cepted as 1S55 and Mrs. Lott was at that time grown woman with sev- eral children. These and many oth- CT instances have made it appear that she was born about 1880, proD- ably in 1927 or 1928.
 When Dr. S. Hall Young began his mission work here MT. and Mrs. Lott were among the early converts and helped establish the present Presbyterian church in Wrangell. Mir. Lott died about twenty years ago and all of their children are dead except John Lott, aged well over 70 years, who lives in Petersburg.
 Her last surviving grandchild, Alfred Lott, died in Wrangell a few months ago. Besides her aged son her only survivors are two great granddaughters, Virginia Lott, an inmate of the Haines orphanage, and Sarah Shadesty, granddaughter of Walter Shadesty of Wrangell.
