Liquid VS.. Air-CooIed

AZ the liquid versus air-cooled
sirplane engine controversy
wakes hotter and hotter. there
comes a new straw In the wind.
II was not particularly publi-
cized. hut the new German
Focke-Wulf 100 pursuit plane Is
power nv an air-cooled engine
which develops around 1900
horse power. An Ingenious
stresmlined cowling gives added
speed and the plane il rated as
the equal Of any pursuit in the
world.
The significant thing about
this is that Germany has never
had an air-cooIed pursuit be-
fore, and her bombers were
powered almost entirely with
liquid-cOoIed engines.
Now comes the added news
that the new long-range German
Heinkel IL also 10 he powered
with air-cooled motors patterned
after Pratt & whitney and
Wright, and they'll develop
about 1000 horsepower.
Add Go all this that the ad-
mittedly superb Jap ZERO gets
It's power from an -air-cooled
engine and IL makes one wonder.
Bill stout told me more than
two years ago that Americas =
future rested with air-cooled
motors

Destructive Spirit

In government. too. the destfuc-
tive spirit of unselling sometimes
prevails. There is A subtle type
Of demagogy which promises re-
suits which do not come. For
example. excessive and confisca-
tory tax rates do not really soak
the rich as intended but abort
and prevent economic activity or
the part of persons subject 10 the
maximum brackets. Contiscatory
rates constitute form of un-
selling and discourage wealthy
persons from undertaking business
risks and commitments. Such
taxes tend 10 cause such persons
to keep their funds and their
brains inactive

when secretary OF the treasury
used 10 call attention 10 these
elementary truths in his annual
reports to Congress. lie battled
for correction of tho Illusions be-
hind the capital gains and capital
loss taxes. bat he did so in vain.
Accordingly. in the years OF max
imun depression, many persons
of large income. who suffered
immense deductible capital losses,
paid the treasury no taxes AT all.
In subsequent years, the privilege
of deducting losses, except as an
offset 10 capital gains, was with
drawn. and the net effect of such
unSelling has been 10 paralyze
financial activity on the part Of
the well-to-do. Men Of means
have been deferred from affirma-

the government would be the silent

Of a loss Accordingly this tax

that the effect on the capacity
OF business to produce and sur
vive would be terrific unless
some provision is made for nee
essary reserves" he said.
The House bill also would have
to some extent a damaging effec
on individuals. he added.

of surbing war profiteering.

fetal to the disease. Yet the re-
corded tuberculosis mortality in
the registration area declined
from ia per 100000 in 1900 to
AZ in 1888.
Steady Decline
Since 1888 the decline has bean
proportionately even more rapid.
The total number of deaths in
1888 was 1922 and in 1910, 55,-
SIC; and this despite a great gain
in actual population.
In the West North Central Sec
ton. embracing seven states, the
death rate from tuberculosis was
% per 100000 population in 1910.
The growth of institutional
cases is shown by the figure that
Al per cent CT all tuberculosis
deaths now occur in institutions.
This is a gain which mankind
cannot afford to let drift. There
is every indication that the record
can be made better. No matter
what tic cxigencies of war, this
country which suffers no destruc-
ton of its hospitals must keep up
the work, by buying Christmas
seals to prevent tuberculosis.
