Two things make the fu-
ture look bright for Diesel
trucks and tractors. One is
the rate at which their
popularity is growing in
this country.
The other is their success in
Europe. Germany has $4,000 Diesel
trucks in operation. Ninety per
cent of the buses in England have
Diesel engines.
Among the chief manufacturers
of Diesel tractors are the Inter
national Harvester Co., the Cleve-
land Tractor Co., the Caterpillar
Tractor Co. and the Bates Manu-
featuring Co.
The experience of Caterpillar
Tractor Co. serves to illustrate the
potentialities of the Diesel. This
company, founded in 1925, makes
tractors of five different sizes. It's
three largest sizes proved popular
with contractors and farmers who
have large tracts. orchard grow

TN 1927, the company bought two
IDieSel engines in Europe and
proceeded to take them apart.
They designed a Diesel of their
own and in 1880 put 13 tractors
equipped with Diesel engines on
the market.
Buyers found that these DieSels,
due to smaller fuel consumption
and the use of cheaper fuel, cut
operating expenses to a quarter OF
their former figure. The demand
for them grew and today about go
per cent of the company's output
is Diesel equipped.

In 1881, Mr.. CumminS put
Diesel engine in a racing car and
entered the Indianapolis 500-mile
race. He finished thirteenth in
field of 40. Thirteenth from the
top, perhaps, doesn't sound like
much of an accomplishment. But
its real significance was in the fact
that it finished ahead of q other
cars, and it ran the whole race
without a stopl
Mr.. CumminS continued to eX-
pertinent with Diesels and in June
of this year, he appeared in New
York with his latest Diesel engine
mounted in an Auburn chassis.
This new engine weighs only 80
pounds more than the gasoline
engine which was previously in
the car. 1t is a siX-cylinder 100
horse power engine, capable of
5000 revolutions minute and able
to make go miles an hour with
gear ratio only Slightly above
normal.
THIS new engine weighs eight
- pounds per horse power.
That is approximately the weight
of the gasoline engine in a big
Buick. 1t has been estimated
that it would cost about 10 per
cent more than gasoline engine
if put into mass production.
In New York, Mr.. Cummins set
off on his first leg of an economy
tour" heading for White Sulphur
Springs, w. Va, where the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers was
holding its annual meeting He
made the run of 496 miles on "A
cents worth of fuel oil. The tax
added another 38 cents to his fuel
bill. He had averaged 4O.2 miles
a gallon of fuel oil.
Prior to the design of his new
car, 1000 revolutions a minute
was the upper limit for a Diesel
engine. AS stated, his new engine
does 5000 r. p. m. But this still
is behind the gasoline engine,
which can do 1000 r p. m.
Engineers agree that there is
much development work to be
done before the Diesel engine
can out-perform the gasoline en-
CINE in a passenger automobile.
MANY authorities look upon
1V1 the Diesel automobile as
standing today about where the
gasoline car stood in 1911 Back
in those days, the gasoline car
stood in need Of many improve
ments, and those improvements
were forthcoming in time.
1t may safely be assumed that
the automotive industry has its
eyes on Mr. Cummins. In all
probability there has been more
experimentation with Diesel en-
gines than has been made pubic.
It seems likely that General
Motors, building plant at Chi
cago to manufacture Diesel loco
motives to compete with steam, is
not unmindful of the fact that
their own gasoline trucks and au-
tomobiles may some day have to
meet Diesel competition upon the
roads Of America.
Cut down the weight. Increase

problems which Diesel engineers
are battling with the aid Of new
alloys and new designs.

DISEASES that affect the lungs do not seem to

they would not reinfect.
If however the disease itself does not bring about
resistance of any permanent duration there does
not seem to be any reason to believe that mixture
OF killed germs would be any more beneficial. For
that reason most doctors do not recommend vac

Livermore is known to have had

speculator when he opposed his
former wife's resumption of the
name Livermore at the time of
her divorce from LongScope here.
Despite Livermore's opposition,
Mrs. Livermore was granted re-
stricted use of the name. Ryon
has asserted that in the current
case he represents Mrs. Livermore
but nevertheless it is believed by
some, Livermore may come to the

for dropping the name Of Liver
