except self-preseryatiOn." He added:
my government knows something of the terribly

Salary Schedules

The civil service commission will

and on Wednesday will meet with
the House ways and means COM
mittee to discuss revised salary
schedules.
Before the committee ap-
proves departmental appropria-
tons, members will want to
know whether our revised pay

necessitate larger sums OF
money or not" Anderson ex-
planned.

loaded with political appointees
who draw fat salaries for doing

come up for discussion Tuesday IA

One az the most powerful air
|plane motors ever built and one
having the greatest horsepower
per pound weight Of any in exist
|ence today is nearing the produc-
|tion stage at the Ford Motor
Company
The motor is one conceived by
Henry Ford himself and over
which he has spent the greater
portion Of his time While in the
experimental laboratories Of the
Ford plant during the past few
months.
Ford's plans called for motor
of u cylinders placed IN Y forma-

and capable Of producing more
than loo horsepower and weigh
ing no more than the amount of
the horsepower produced This
was 200 horsepower more than the
best available motor output al the
time the plans were drawn.

Use Exhaust Gases

Present superchargers for air

engineers estimate. The new
Ford supercharger oper e d
through use of exhaust gases, re-
duces this loss 10 6 per cent, en-,
gineerine tests disclosed.
The fuel injector system elimi-
mates the present method OF car
duration and prevents carburator
icing at high attitudes
Horsepower weight ratios in
leading engines in Europe and the
United States show that German
motors weigh 107 pounds per
horse power, while British and
American motors weigh l.25
pounds per horsepower. Tests on
the new Ford motor show a weight
of loss than one pound per horse
power.

Step Up Output

Tests show that recent improve
ments on the engine-placed on
American-made motors for the
first time-have stepped up the
output more than 500 units.
Aviation experts agree one OF
the greatest problems facing the
craft is reduction in machine
weight while increasing power
units. Ford engineers have les
sened this ratio through two new
features of the VIZ motor.
The new engineering features.
which have maintained a mini
mum weight while adding horse
power. are a fuel injector system

by Mr.. Ford when he announced
his plan 10 build the engine few
months ago. He said:
