expense of operating the city government and in

Five reductions in the electric rate and substan-

been financed at no extra cost to the taxpayer.
Forty-two miles Of unimproved streets have been

Government Leave

Testimony given at hearings of the House Civil
Service Committee the bills providing for annual and SICK
leave for Government employees amply warrants the commee
in taking speedy favorable action those measures
AS introduced by Representative Robert Ramspeck OF

employees take thirty days vacation annual leave and
fifteen days sick leave with provision for accumNatng the

among the various agencies in regard to leave.

On September 30. 1918, Dr..
Diesel was in exceptionally good
health and spirits. Thirteen
years before he had suffered a
nervous breakdown on account
of overWork on his invention,
but he had entirely recovered.
His fortune was safely invested.
His family was happily estab-
liShed at Munich. At Antwerp
he boarded the channel steamer
Dresden for London, where he
was due the next day.
It was known that some crit
ical decisions were to be made
at the London meeting. 1t was
a clear evening and the water
was calm. DR.. Diesel strolled
awhile on deck. chatting with
other passengers, and then re-
tired.
When the ship drew into port
next morning. DR.. Diesel was
missing. His bed had not been
occupied. His dispatch case
was gone. Passengers and crew
were detained and examined.
There was no information, no
clue. The gunwales had been
under observation during the
entire night. None had seen
DR.. Diesel. However, the con-
clusion was reached that he had
slipped out of his stateroom
and leaped overheard.
The next day, his family at
Munich received a telegram
signed with his name in which
he said he was safe in London
and told them not to worry.
But this message had been sent
from Geneva. A check there re-
Vealed it had been sent by a
person answering DR.. Diesel's
description. A few weeks later
a body was taken from the
channel, obviously identified as
that of DR.. Diesel. Hints of
dark international intrigue be-
hind the mystery began to find
their way into print.
NEVER EXPLAINED
But the Diesel engine was
driving the German submarines.
It came close to writing the
verdict in the war. The war
years served to concentrate the
attention Of power technicians on
the new engine. and almost be.
fore the last shot was fired it
was towering surface craft all
over the world.
DR.. Diesel's disappearance
never has been explained. And
so again, after % years, as the
New England Diesel rips off its
ITO miles an hour, Britain and
Germany make menacing gest-
ureS in their submarine argu-
ment, and again there are hints
of dark doings in the powering
of the German subs with freed
hydrogen and oxygen.

Busch, the brewer, saw the
Diesel engine working in 1897 at
Cologne and bought the Amer

country gets in on all this speed

scientists still insist will make

Mysterious Disappearance

Mysterious Disappearance
When Rudolph Diesel made
his first oil burning engine. it
bleN up and sent him to a hos
pital. Before his bandages were
off, he was working on new
one. 1t was a success-and it is
a Diesel engine which rockets
that streamlined train from New
Haven to Boston at a top speed
of ITO miles an hour.
1t is too bad that DR.. Diesel
died so suddenly and tragically;
that he never lived to see the
complete triumph of his years
of patient work. There was a
story comparable in interest to
the later aeroplane disappear
ance of Alfred LoWenthal, the
great Belgian banker. but it was
soon obscured by the World
War, when many threads of des-
tiny were broken and great
achievements obliterated Or for
gotten.
We know little of the story of
power-I can't find anyone who
can tell me anything about the
origin of the gas engine-but
someone, some day, will round
up dramatically the story of
Rudolph Diesel, and the un-
solved mystery of his death on
the eve of the war, in which the
Diesel engine was a critical fac
tor.
GAINED FORTUNE
Before he disappeared late in
1913 DR.. Rudolph Diesel; of
Munich. had gained a fortune
of $2,500,000 from his invention.
He was 56 years old, poised, cul-
tured, of easy address, travelling
about the world, honored and
acclaimed wherever he went.
It was in 1893 when, IA years
after graduating from the Mum
ich Technical College. he made
his first unsuccessful engine
theJ one which exploded. The
ensuing decade had brought it
into practical use. British cap
ital had been alert and enter
priSing in realizing it's possibili-
ties. in furthering research. The
engine had a thermal efficiency
of IS per cent as contrasted to
Is per cent for the steam engine.
In those days, when the
powers were nearing the tragic
climax of their feverish drive
for markets. any little bulge in
power production stirred at
tention in world chancelleries.
They had ridden through the
Agadir crisis. The kaiser was
doing little sword rafting;
the Balkans were staging the
preliminaries to the main event.
Germany had put the Diesel
engine into submarines. There
had been a lot of underestimate
pulling and hauling about this,
and there were rumors that, in
his cooperation with BritaiSh
capitalists, DR.. Diesel had de-
livered refinements and i'm
provements on his invention
which the Germans had been
unable to perfect. There were
hints in European dispatches
that, for some mysterious rea-
son. DR.. Diesel moved amid
ominous and contending forces.
