FILM STAR DIES,
MANY MOURN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. "a G.N.SO.
The body Of Mabel Normand, the
sad-happy girl Of the movies, lay
here today awaiting plans for the
funeral while Hollywood grieved
at the loss Of one Of its best
known actresses.
Death crept into the former
screen condolences sanitarium
ward in Monrovia yesterday ard
ended her long losing battle
against the ravages OF tubercu-
loSiS.
Once before, on February s,
she succeeded in staving off death
only by a blood TRANSMISSION.
Had Tragic Life
One of the most enignatic
characters of screenland, Miss
Normand's life seemed to have
been trailed by tragedy.
She was the last person to talk
with William Desmond Taylor be-
fore he was slain in his Los
Angeles apartment.
The shooting of Court S. Dimes,
wealthy Denver oil man, again
brought her name into print.
Dimes was shot and seriously
wounded by Miss Normand's
chauffeur, it was brought out at
the trial.
It was determined several days
ago that she had only a few days
to live. The heroine of the long
ago flicker films fought gamely,
however, on courage alone.
Lew Cody. motion picture star
and husband of Miss Normand,
broke down when informed of his
w1fe's death. He, too, has been
fighting a long illness and shock
left him weak.
Wait Arrival of Mother
Tentative arrangements for the
funeral, contingent upon the ap-
proval Of Miss Normand's mother,
Mrs. Mary Normand, are to hold
the services Friday. No details
have yet been worked out, pend.
ing the arrival of Mrs. Normand
and her daughter, Miss Gladys
Normand, who are hurrying here
from New York by train and
plane.
Miss Normand was born In
Boston. and later lived quietly
with her mother in New York
city, where she attended grammar
school. AS a child of IA she
became an artists model In New
York, posing for such widely
known artists as Charles Dana
Gibson, James Montgomery Flagg
and Coles Phillips.

before they fare forth for the
1882 battle.
OF the recommendations which
the commission made in its pre-
liminary report, only one seems
likely OF congressional approval
at this session. That is the pro-
posal to transfer enforcement
from the Treasury to the: Depart
ment of Justice. The House has
already approved it and the Sen
ate will do likewise when it can
clear itself from the tariff jam.
The other principal recon-
mendation, taking away the right
of trial by jury for small often
ders, seems to be pigeon-holed by
general consent. It may subse-
quently be resurrected, but for
this session it will be soft-pedaled.
Compel Testimony
A further grant of power may
be requested from Congress to
enable the commission to sub
poena witnesses. Several COM
missioners have informed mem
bers of Congress that the CON-
mission has been embarrassed in
its work by lack of authority to
compel testimony.
With the spring and summer
primaries approaching, however,
it is not likely that the present
session will tinker with anything
affecting the commission other
than to grant the transfer of en-
forcement to the Department Of
Justice.

In our stury of aircraft
engines we shall first consider
those of the water cooled type. A
review Of the types Of aircraft
motors on the common market
today viii show that a majority
are Of the air-cooled type.
There are many motors in use
today that have not been manu-
featured since the close of the
World War, but win continue to
be used for a number of years
to come. Perhaps two Of the
better known of this group are
those of the Curtiss OK series
and the Hispano-SuiZa series.
Both Of these motors are of
the small motor class and owing
to the low cost are used in many
Of the light planes today.
The Liberty motor, developed
for use during the war under the
direction of Major j. G. Vincent,
Of the Packard Motor Company,
and Major e. j. Hall, of the
Hall-Scott Motor Company, is of
the same type as the two men.
toned above. The Liberty motor,
however, is a much larger one
than either the OK or "FIiso"
motor, and is not used except in
rare cases.
Cast Iron Cylinders
The OK series of motors was
made Of cast iron cylinders with
monel metal jackets. These
motors have the overhead in
clined valves, operated by means
OF two rocker arms, and push
and pull rods from the central
camshaft located in the crank
case. These motors are of eight
cylinders, arranged as the v type
Of engine. They have q four
inch bore and a five-inch stroke.
They deliver 80 horsepower at
400 revolutions per minute. The
motor weighs about AIT pounds
to the horsepower.
A larger edition of the OK
series is also to be found. This
edition Is known as the OXX5.
It has q larger bore with the
same stroke. This motor de-
livers 100 horsepower at the same
number Of r. p. m. The fuel
consumption is the same for both
series.
The Hispano suiza aviation
motor was designed at Barcelona
Spain, in 1914. Later the mani.
facture Of this motor was carried
on IN the United States by the
predecessor Of the Wright Aero
nautical Corporation The Hiso
motor at the end of the war was
declared to be the best motor in
the world. And even today it Is
said to rank with the finest
water cooled engines known,
The Model A HiSpano-Suiza
motor is the smaller edition of
that motor as produced in this
country. It is Of the V-type,
having eight cylinders arranged
in two blocks. each block of built
up construction. The water
jackets and the valve ports are
of cast aluminium and the indi-
vidual cylinders are heat-treated
steel forgings threaded into the
bored holes Of aluminium cast
ings.
Has aluminium Castings
The pistons are aluminium cast
ings, ribbed. The connecting rods
are tubular and of the forked
type. One Of the rods bears di-
rectly on the crankpin, while the
other bears on the outside Of the
one above. AS for the crankshaft,
it is of the five-bearing type,
stiff In design, bored to secure
lightness and to facilitate oiling.
The extension of the crankshaft
Is so constructed as to make
possible the instant change Of
