ALWAYS WATCH
(By John Jaster. Jr.l


One good way to avoid traffic
trouble on the open road or in the
city is to keep an eye on the fellow
driving toward you.
Watch him closely. If he keeps
turning his head from side to side.
give him plenty of room These
traffic twisters with the turn-table
necks usually can be spotted some,
distance away. They are apt to. dis.
regard the centerline completely
So give them a wide berth.
Sometimes you can snap these
dizzy drivers out of their twists
and-turns by toot of the horn. It's
worth a try anyway.
A great many unexplained acci
dents are probably due to the bad
habit of turning the head instead of
watching the road. Help prevent
accidents by keeping your mind on
your driving and your eyes on the
road.

Service Planes to
Try Diesels AS
Advances Made

TULSA, Okla, June Is. (UP)
Rapid development and improve
mcnt of Diesel engines, which
during the past two years have
taken over many of the power
Jobs formerly held exclusively by
steam or gasoline motors, was
shown at the international petro-
leum exposition here.
Diesels have become more YER
satile because methods have been
found for pairing down their
weight and for removing the
highly Objectionable smoke and
fumes which formerly presented Il
major problem.
At one time, DicSclS weighed
too much and smelled too strong
ly to be used in automobiles or
amplanes. Today, hundreds of
pounds lighter and free Of fumes,
they are coming into wider use.
FIRE HAZARD REDUCED
Aero Diesels probably are the
latest development in the field.
Relatively free from fire haz-
ards, the rotary-typc engines are
considerably more economical
than gasoline engines of similar
power.
One airplanc engine, recently
out of a l0-year experimental pc
Rod. now is being manufactured
under governmental limitations
for uSa hv the army and navy.
The engine is rated at 800
horsepower, delivering one horse
POWER for each l.9A pounds Of
weight. 1t weighs only $40
pounds. suitable for airplancs,
and will run twice as long on the
same amount of fuel as gasoline
engine of equal power and
weight. 20. .
Diescls burn a cheap fuel oil,
making it cost approximately one
fourth the price of gasoline.
FEW PARTS REQUIRED
Diesel engines are less compIi-
Gated than gasoline motors. No ig-
milton system batteries, spark
plugs, wiring, etc. is used.
Reduced to Its simplest form,
the action of Diesel engine is a
series Of spontaneous combus-
tons. Air is drawn into the. COM
bustion chamber on the intake
stroke of the piston. The piston
comes up, congresses the air, and
fuel oil is sprayed int Othe cylin-
der, where it ignites from the
heat of oppression and furnishes
the power impulse.
Use of strong, light alloy has
resulted in development Of the
smaller. lighter engines suitable
for mobile units. Formerly, the
engines were too heavy for any
but stationary uses, since the
cylinders had to be built Of heavy
steel to withstand the terrific
prcssurcs necessary for opera
ton.
