NEW YORK, Dec. 16-Improved

lize on the recent advance did so at
fractional concessions.

the foreign loans. Belgium IS of

Auto Designers Deny
Big Improvements
Are Held Back
Competition Declared
Too Strong to Allow
Risky Delays
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Dec. 16.-Having
launched their 1889 models, the
men who design the vehicles for the
motorcar industry have turned their
attention to the 1910 types, but
they are far from sure what these
models will look like.
There Is more or less popular
misconception concerning the max
ing of motor cars that gives the i'm
preston the industry's engineers
always are holding back some radi-
cal innovation that in some way
would rebound to the disadvantage
of currently sold vehicles. This
has been put up to the engineers
and body designers many times in
the past and always has brought
the same response.
Patents Are Watched.
IF we had some thoroughly proved
advance in motor designing we
would not dare withhold it. Patent
applications are publicly known and
if we did not apply for patent
papers our thoroughly proved i'm
provement soon would become the
property of our competitors. Thus
you will see that any major change
in automobile engineering is intro
duced as soon as its efficiency has
been established-for competitive
reasons if for no other"
You might ask the engineer what
has held up the introduction on
volume scale of the motorcar pow
cred with crude oil burning engine
and he will tell you that many ad-
vances have been made in Diesel
powered trucks and locomotives, but
that for the privately pass
enger car there is much yet to be
accomplished before it can replace
the conventional type of gasoline
propelled vehicle.
Big Problems Seen.
All the engineers concede that
crude oil is cheaper than gasoline
at present. Many of them point
out, however, that once all the
bugs" have been ironed out of the
Diesel type power plant for the
privately owned vehicle the problem
of replacement not only of the gas
oline engined car, but also of serv-
ice stations will have to be worked
out. So far as cheaper operation
is concerned these authorities believe
that once fuel oil replaces gasoline
as the power of the automobife-if
1t ever does-the taxes now collected
on gasoline will have to be transfer
red to fuel oil
Aside from this argument, how
ever, the fact remains that much
is yet to be done in perfecting the
Diesel type power plant for the
privately owned passenger car. The
engineers believe they have steadily
increased the mileage potentialities
of gasoline. They believe, too, that
further success along that line will
be achieved.

FENCE BROKEN AT
WRONG TIME; LAMB
BORN AT YULETIDE

Out of season, but liked never
theless, is the little lamb which was
born early Christmas morning at
the university experiment a m
near Fairbanks.
Because of the cold weather, the
lambkins mother won't give milk,
SO cows milk is fed to it, four
times a day by Mrs. Erastus Peter
son, and the lamb is quartered in
the basement of the Peterson home.
This little fellow is of pure-bred
Rambouillet stock" according to
Lorin T. Oldroyd, director of ex-
tension service. He is already
showing the characteristics of a
very valuable male, for his neck
is wrinkled and his tail is long and
waggly."
The Rambouillet is a fine wool
breed, having white wrinkled wool.
Our problem now" Mr. Oldroyd
said, is to decide upon a name
for this unreasonable arrival. All
suggestions will be welcomed, and
judiciously considered"
Why the lamb was born in De-
cember, instead of during the sun
ny days of spring, was explained
by Mr.. Oldroyd.
A fence was broken at the uni
verSity farm last September.
