Device Prevents
Airplane Motors
From 'Conking Out
Segregation" Is Projected
by Foreign-Born Ser
geant in Air Corps.

While the best minds of aviation pas
sively stood by and decried the tendency
Of airplane motors to "conk out" due tc
impure gasoline, often causing serious
crashes and loss of life, foreign-born
sergeant in the Army Air Corps has in
vented a device that virtually eliminates
such possibilities.
The invention, known as a gasoline
water segregater" was perfected and
patented by Master Sergt David Sami-
ran, native of the Britisi1-owned
Island of Cyprus, who entered the Army
when the United States joined the
World War.
The segregator, which may be. at
tached either to airplanes or gasoline
storage tanks, was the result OF seven
years OF intensive effort on Samiran's
part. It already has been adopted by
the Army and Navy as standard eouip-
ment and is said to cfIer wide posi-
bilities in the fields of air transport and
private civilian flying.
The operating principle of the segre-
gator takes advantage of the natural
tendency of gasoline and water to sepa-
rate. due to the difference in specific
gravity. This separation is facilitated,
however, by the special design of the
interior of the fuel chamber, which d.
reefs the how SO that the water is de-
livered to the bottom with a minimum
OF turbulence, while the gas is drawn
OF through an outlet at the top. The
water is discharged automatically BY
the operation of a simple float valve
mechanism. operating on the principle
OF "differential buoyancy."
There Is no hElit to the size Of the
invention. In Samiran's opinion. He
already had constructed one which can
fit in the best pocket and contemplates
models that will have an hourly ca
pacity Of thousands of gallons.
Samiran. who came to this country
IN 1911 and started work as an oiler
in the engine room of the old Waldorf
Astoria Hotel, conceived the idea for
his invention while on duty at France
Field, Panama Canal Zone. in 1924.

LEGGE SAYS FREE
WHEAT WON'T HELP
Former Farm Board Head
Sees Distribution Good
Only PsychologicaIIy.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
GRAND FORKS, N. Oak, August 81
Jegge, former Federal
Farm Board chairman. said yesterday
he believed the effect OF any Farm
Board wheat distribution to the needy
would be chiefly psychological and
would make little impression upon its
huge surplus supply.
"a feeling of confidence must be
inspired in the people, and If 1t takes
the Farm Board wheat to do it, why
that can be used" said Legge, here on
business
i never have been much in favor OF
giving things away" he continued, for
think people appreciate them more If
they cost something. But II it becomes
necessary. and there are going to be a
lot of calls fer help this Winter, /
think every man who needs 1t should
be given a sack of -four. There is no
case on record of a man starving to
death with a sack OF -four in his house.
We must kill this talk about people
starving to death while their Govern
ment holds millions of bushels Of
wheat"
