to have been used for rum
running was reported forced
down today in a binding snow
storm in the Gulf of st. Law
renee which is two miles north
of Miscou Island, northeast of
New Brunswick.
The plane, which is unidenti-

AMNESTY To De
GRANTED ALL
IN SPAIN

MADRID, Jan. 81. G.N.SO -
The new government of Premier
D'Amaso Berenguer began its
career today by taking a long
step forward toward keeping Spain
calm until a firm basis Of read
justment following the dictator
ship of Primo De Rivera Is
established.
It was reported that the pre-
mier had decided to grant an
amnesty to all political enemies
of the former dictatorship. This
it is believed, will has the effect
of quieting much restleSsnesS
springing from these d 5contented
sources.
It was also reported that
students and professors who had
been barred from re-enrolling in
the universities of Spain because
of their connection with last
years student riots would be
permitted to do so.
This, it is expected, will have
the effect of bringing the student
element behind the government
and will remove a factor which
has caused many demonstrations
recently.
Now that Primo De Rivera has
departed from power there is
much press comment favorable
to him. The conservative press
now claims that political amino
sites in Spain were responsible
for the fact that the former
dictator's merits were not properly
recognized in the country where
as the foreign press, unbiased by
internal politics, properly viewed
his accomplishments.

LESSON NO. 80
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
nautical Engineer

It is necessary here to leave
temporarily the study of the air
plane control systems and take
up the study of airplane power
plants, or aircraft engines.
Much can be learned from the
articles and diagrams that will
appear in The Times every Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday. Even
the students with little mechan-
ical knowledge will be able to
follow the discussion without diff
ficulty.
Below Is the nomenclature for
engines. 1t is extremely inn
portant. Study all of the defini-
tions carefully.
Types of Motors
Barrel type engine.-An engine
having it's cylinders arranged equi.
distant from and parallel to the
main shaft.
Inverted engine engine
having it's cylinders below the
crankShaft.
Left-hand engine.-An engine
whose propeller shaft, to an OBJ
server facing the propeller from
the anti-propeller end of the
shaft, rotates in a counter-clock-
wise direction.
Radial engine.-An engine hav-
ing stationary cylinders arranged
radially around the common
crankshaft.
Right-hand engine.-An engine
whose propeller shaft, to an OBJ
server facing the propeller from
the anti-propeller end of the
shaft, rotates in a clockwise direc-
tion.
Rotary engine engine hav-
ing cylinders arranged radially
with the crankcase and cylinder
assembly revolving around a COM
mon fixed CrankShaft.
Supercharged engine-An en-,
gine with mechanical means for
increasing the cylinder charge
beyond that normally taken in
at the existing atmospheric pres
sure and temperature.
Vertical engine-An engine
having its cylinders arranged in
a vertical position above the
crankshaft.
V type engine-An engine hav.
ing it's cylinders arranged in two
rows, forming in an end view
the letter "V."
w type engine-An engine
having its cylinders arranged in
three rows, forming in an end
view the letter "W."

Bootlegging promises to outdo

its way into illicit channels to an
extent that dwarfs the diversion
Of industrial alcohol" declared
DR.. Harrison E. Howe, the editor,
upholding position taken by
Prohibition Commissioner j. M.
Doran.
Thousands of Stills Seized
Industry, though innocent, is
declared to be the target for ex-
tremists despite plain evidence
that law violations arise from
other sources. 1t is being ham
pered and annoyed, while the real
offenders, commanding greater
and greater political influence and
better fortified against the law,
are swelling the supply of raw ma
terials for bootleg liquor"
The journal said that during
1929 in the section east of the Mis-
souri, and north of the Ohio rivers,
3,430 column stills were seized.
Some of the plants we're large and
elaborate. BY the use of am.
monium salts. fermentation was
hastened so that from raw mate
rials to finished product required
but "a hours.
The capacity of these stills
simply dwarfs below comparison
that of the 400 cleaning or cook
ing plants seized all oveer the
country in the same year. the
Journal continued. 1T is these
latter stills that work on diverted
industrial alcohol. SO denatured
as to make manipulation diff ;ult,
costly and continually less at
tractive.
Ten-tO-One Ratio Seen
Without doubt, for every gal
lon of legitimate distilled indus
trial alcohol which through crIuli,
nal action finds its way into
bootlegging channels not less
than 10 gallons from )Sner
sources, such as the fermeata'
ton of corn sugar, go with it.
1T would appear that the corn
belt, through the income tconl
grain sold for the production of
corn sugar, is deriving more re
lief than is likely to result from
tariff legislation and is innoce itly
supplying the base material for
a commodity which, with a great
majority of the country, it voted
should be devoted to industry
and debarred from beverages"
According to the Journal, if
the 110,000,000 wine gallons OF
alcohol produced for the indus
tries should be eliminated we
doubt if the absence Of that vast
quantity of important raw ma
terial would make a noticeable
impression upon the enforcement
problem.

Good Spring OOerhauling
Is Need of Every Car

If the motoriSt does nothing
else in the way of special spring
care for his automobile, he should
at least be certain that the cool
ing system is thoroughly flushed
out and filled with pure, clear
water, and that the car as a
whole is given a careful cleansing
and then completely fabricated.
There are many other things
which the motorist will want to
do If he really is interested in
maintaining his car properly, but
the three items mentioned are
essentials which none can afford
to overlook at this season.
These points are emphasized by
Oscar Coolican, local dealer, who
says that if the motorist does
not wish to DO anything more, if
he does see to it that the three
jobs mentioned are carried out
he will have made an important
move toward safeguarding the
cars operating ability. He eX-
planned:
"These three steps may be
considered as the minimum of
spring car care. Almost every
car can stand considerably more
attention than that outlined
and be much the better for it.

BUILDING WATTS
ON UPKEEP

Repair bills on improperly built
roads are restraining highway i'm
provement to an unbelievable de
gree.
A .curvey shows that in many
communities the upkeep cost OF
road surfaces is no more than
$25 per mile, while in numberlesS
instances citizens are naying out
from $1,000 to $4,000 or more to
keep a mile of road in something
like a travelable condition.
The reasons for this cost varia.
ton are not secrets. The roads
that cost little to maintain are
properly paved. The roads of
large upkeep cost are either of
dirt or gravel or Of some non.
permanent Surfacing material.
In Cameron county, Tex, where
a little less than 200 miles of
concrete pavements have been
constructed by bond issue, the
pavement upkeep cost averages
around $25 per mile per year.
This DIS q terrain where sand and
fine soil subgrades are not very
stable, but by paving in accord
ance with accepted scientific
methods the excessive upkeep cost
faced by careless communities has
been eliminated.
The pavementS in Cameron
county, and in adjoining counties
for that matter, demonstrate that
the citizen can expect smooth
riding surfaces that last, without
the endless excuses offered for
the roughneSS and high cost that
must go with unstable roads.

 It is well known that most of those who follow the sea lanes are men of daring and fortitude. Oftentimes they scoff at devices which look toward further safeguarding their trips, but they cannot afford to continue with that outlook. They must recognize that, after all there times when the help of a Coast Guard cutter would be a great thing They must admit that there times when a Coast Guard cutter could all unknowngly be within ten miles of the scene of grim tragedy.
