Often writers are unconscious plagiarists. They are struck by some stately verbiage or plot and long afterNard it may pop into thought as something original. This is responsible t1r many honest crafts men being accused unfairly.

New York, Dec. @.-Thc most difficult editorial problem of a "ideaWake magazine is the pre- vention Of plagiarism. In the past year, despite unusual vigil. two Comrl stely lifted stories with only titles and a few names changed were on the stands before deception was discovered.
 in each case the tales have been paid for. One of them was so cx- pertly written editors required the author to sign an affidavit he had written it from his own original idea. He signed it blithcly, and landed in jail. People with writ ing itch take unusual chances.
 Anotler ignoble fakery was dis covered on prominent monthly magazine after the periodical was on the presa One third Of the run had been mace when the presses were stopp,d and quick substtu- ton inserted IL cost the magazine thoIsa1ds.
 The biggest How of such plrating falls upon struggling and unknown writers. When they turn out a fin ished and worthy story editors be- come suspicious and in instances actually refuse to take a chance. Thus only established scriveners may receive a hearing.
 Perhaps the most frequently loot cd plot is that Of Poe's The Gold Bug" If has been printed in various disguises in some 20 magazines Even today it often shows up in editorial shops as an original piece Of literature. De Maupassants story Of the lost necklace has also been oycrWorked by Copyists.
 There seems no way Of stopping lifted yarns. Editors will always be trickcd. One man or all entire staff cannot possibly read every story published This ilnpossibility makes trickery so easy. Often sWiped story will not be discovered until months after printing.
 Writers abroad are the most fragrant yiolators. If thcy spot q good story in German, French or Polish they pay q few dollars to have 1t translated into English and pest it to an American editor. If they are caught little can be done.

NEW TYPE FLYING
MOTOR TO Be SEEN
Engine That Burns Varied
Kinds of Fuel to Be Shown
Here on Monday.

Demonstration to Army and Navy
officials of a revolutionary new type of
aviation engine which will burn either
gasoline or furnace oil or any grade
of fuel oil between these two extremes
will be made here Monday.
The engine has been installed in a
standard Boeing military plane, used
by the Army as pursuit plane and by
the Navy as a fighter, and flights will
be made with various types of fuel.
The plane is to be flown from Boiling
Field at 10 o'clock Monday morning
before F. Trubee Dawson, Assistant
Secretary of War for Aeronautics, and
other War Department officials and Off
GERS of the Army Air Corps. After those
demonstrations the plane will be flown
across to the AnacoStia Naval All Sta
ton for demonstrations at 2 pm. before
Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief
of the Navy Bureau of Aeronautlcs, and
naval aviation heads.
The engine Is an adaptation OF the
standard Pratt 81 Whitney Wasp,
adopted by both the Army and Navy as
the standard air-cooled engine for vari-
Gus types of planes. The only changes
which have been made in the engine,
1t was stated by Stanley Hedburg of
New York, who will be in charge of
the demonstration, involve the replace
ment of the carburetiOn system by fuel
injectorS and pumps for each cylinder.
Each cylinder thus Is able to function
independently of the others and the
cutting out of one or more cylinders
does not stop the engine. Because of
more efficient burning of the fuel, 1t is
claimed, the power of the engine when
using gasoline is materially increased.
