LAW ASKED TO FORCE
LISTING OF ENGINEERS
Washington Chapter to Send Pro
posal to Congress-City Noises
Are Criticized.

Enactment of law for the registra-
ton of professional engineers in the
District of Columbia was advocated last
night in q resolution adopted by the
Washington Chapter of the American
Association of Engineers in session at
the Playhouse, 1914 N street.
The engineers registration statute
was urged in the interests of "the safe
guarding of life, health and property"
and Congress will be asked to adopt
for this city the uniform standard law
compiled by the national engineering
organizations. Henry Warner Austin,
secretary Of the Washington Chapter,
explained that the resolution win be
transmitted to the District Committees
of Congress, the District Commissioners
and the Federation of Citizens AsSo-
Citations.
The engineers, at the suggestion of
DR.. F. H. Newell, will ask the District
authorities to enforce present regula-
tions designed to abate unnecessary
noises in the District and make a
thorough investigation with a view to
curbing many of the traffic and other
noises not now covered by existing
police regulations"
An improved type Of newspaper vend-
ing machine was advocated by the
engineers to retain the papers and
prevent them being distributed in the
streets and causing unsightly conditions
in our thoroughfares."

"He who would bring home the

James Boswell. Boswell says: "I

A Suggestion For Starting
Your Car

"The constant refinements
in auto construction and mo-
tors have created many new
questions not only regarding
the operation of the car, but
its motor fuel as we'll, says Mr..
Robert Weir, Jr., local branch
manager of the Sun Oil Co.
Zone question confronting
the driver is that of finding the
easiest way to start the motor.
An important thing to remem-
Der is to throw out the clutch
pedal when starting" contin-
ued Mr.. Weir. For even tho
your gear shift lever may be in
neutral the gears in the trans
mission are revolving when
ever the motor turns over,
either in starting or when
idling.
"Of course" went on Mr.,

ing out the clutch when start
ing. Another important thing
is to remember that the quail
tiles of different gasolines
vary greatly. For that reason
we have never stopped trying
to pack more real quality in
Blue Sunoco, paying particu-
lar attention to its high
knockless rating, which is also
so important in modern mot
ors. In fact, we have been so
successful in this that our en-
gineers feel confident that
Blue Sunoco is indeed the

Milwaukee, Wis.--An airplane
employing the principle of the hell

The device, admittedly purely an

peller at the nose of the craft.
The vertical lifting blades will be
located beneath each wing and will
be driven by a HispanO Suiza mo-
tor in the fuselage through an ar
rangement of beveled gears.
A tryout of the strange flying
machine will be conducted in July
by Jess q. Johnson OF Delray
Beach, Fla. it's inventor. The ma
chine is being constructed by the
Hamilton Metalplane company here.
Johnson's plane. if it is a sue
cess, will not rise vertically but will
enable a takeoff at approximately a
40 degree angle with all three pro-
pellers spinning. Landing also could
be accomplished more abruptly than
is possible with an ordinary type

NO GASOLINE SUBSTITUTES
There Have Been Numerous At
temptS to Discover Substitutes

During the last ten or fifteen
years there have been numerous
attempts to discover an artificial
substitute for automobile gaso-
line, said Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr.,
the Sun Oil Company's local
branch manager. But no matter
how hard the research men have
worked, they have not yet been
able to manufacture a synthetic
motor fuel which is as satisfac-
tory as gasoline. AS far as I can
remember the nearest approach
was the so-called Liberty Fuel
brought out by the United States
during the War. But it was soon
found that this substitute left a
hard gummy deposit which soon
hardened like varnish and fouled
the carburetor. This product was
also harder to start than gasoline
and was said to cause large car
bon deposits. In fact, all of these
substitute fuels have so far only
helped to prove the superiority of
the natural product, especially
when they are compared with a
high quality motor fuel like Blue
Sunoco which is one of the finest
motor fuels on the market today,
meeting every requirement for
power, economical mileage and
high knockleSs rating"

CHINESE FOSSIL Skull is
CLEW TO missing LINK"
Eiqht-Year Search in Limestone
Near Peking Bares Jaw and
20 Teeth.

Peking.-From 20 teeth and
portion of skull and jaw the har-
vest of eight years cleaning in the
limestone deposits near here science
may reconstruct the earliest pro-
genitor of man, the so-called link
between animal and human.
Since the autumn of 1921 when
in group of important fossils dis
covered in pleistocene limestone de-
pOSitS investigators found a tooth
undeniably that of human or un-
known mammal, an international
group of scientists gathered here
have been convinced that not only
is the Peking man, so called. the
Oldest human remnant, but that
probably he was the immediate an
cestOr of man, linking him with the
lower animals.
Discovery of the prehistoric hu-
man has been so gradual that the
findings have not received the pub
licity scientists believe it deserves.
DR.. ]. G. Anderson. Swedish archie
OIogist. discovered the original
mammal fossils. DR.. Walter Grang-
er. chief paleontologist of the
American Museum of Natural
History. was visiting Doctor An
dersOn at the time.
After cursory examination the
fossils were shipped to Sweden for
study, and while undergoing lab
Oratory examination the lone tooth
was found. The find was commu-
nicated at once to the scientists in
China and arrangements were made
for exhaustive excavations in the
ancient limestone cliffs that held
the mammal fossils.
Funds for the project were OBJ
tanned from the Rockefeller fOunda-
tiOn and the China foundation,
Chinese organization formed with
funds remitted from the American
Boxer indemnity. Davidson Black,
a Canadian, head of the department
of anatomy in the Peking Union
Medical college and a comparative
anatomist of international reputa-
tion, was placed in charge of the
work.
During the intervening years
scattered teeth were discovered,
then parts of the jaw and upper
portion of the skull. This year ad-
ditional teeth and parts of the skull
have been unearthed, giving scient-
lists fairly complete conception Of
the ancient forbear of man.
The excavations are still under
way. Doctor Granger stated his be-
lief that the remnants point to the
end of the long scientific search for
the missing link"

Atlantic Refining Co., Attractive
Great as has been the recent
years progress in putting reading
and pictorial interest into news
paper advertisements, few cam
paigns have attained the outstand
ing appearance that has thus far
marked the 1880 gasoline advertis-
ing of The Atlantic Refining Com
pany. Developed in vigorous tech
nigue along modernistic poster
lines, with short, swift, quickly
read messages, Atlantic advertise
ments have been ringing out the
facts about Atlantic Gasoline in a
manner that carries conviction
even to the casual reader. and"
says ]. @. Frank, District Sales
Manager for the Atlantic Com
pany, Atlantic Gasoline is just as
unusual and modern as the adver-
tising which proclaims it. Year
after year the Atlantic refineries
and research laboratories proceed
on the basis that motor construc-
tion and driving conditions are
constantly changing; and motor
fuel, accordingly, must be made to
fit such changes. With his more
powerful and more readily con-
trolled car of today, the motorist
looks for top-notch performance in
every phase of its operation. Not
only does he demand unslackened
power on the hills, but quickness
in starting, nimbleness in traffic
and motor smoothness as he breez-
es along the stretches. Atlantic
Gasoline is designed to enable his
car to do all these things with
equal fidelity and sureness. 1t is
distinctly an extra-powered motor
fuel. 1t is knockless', amazingly
easy-starting and marvelously
alert on pickup, Moreover, we
contend that today's Atlantic Cos
cline is the cleanest-burning and
the most complete in combustion
that has ever come from the At
lantic or any other refneries."
