In this adventure the Liberty en- gine is playing a supreme part. Each of the planes remaining in the flight is equipped with what is known as the Liberty Motor, Model 21. This is the Liberty engine, product of the war, but embodying recent improve- refinements in timing, new les in reinforcement of cyl. added perfection of carbure: nts, tion. The designing and the building of this engine has been a drama re- lete with all the hursan emotions sacrifices. It has been a drama played behind closed doors in labora tories and in machine shops. A drama played days and nights and weeks at a stretch. A drama in which men in all walks of life have virtually put their own personalities and souls into cold, unresponsive metals in order that such metals in turn in their final form might have| ,, almost a personality and a spirit of its own. When tho nation’s need was realiz- ef in 1917, two of the country’s fore- most automotive enginee: were called to Washington, One was Col. J. J. Vineent, the: other EB. J. Hall. Both represented different organtza- tions, both had theorles and inven tive Jdeas which/up to that time had been jealously guarded as their own. Together they were informed that their go ent depended upon them to design at once an acroplano engine that would help America win the war. Then they were locked to: gether in a hotel room. For thirty days and nights Vin cent and Hall remained in that room working incessantly, stopping to eat only snatchir od was forced upon them a fitful hour or two of sleep only as exhaustion compelled them to do #0. At end of th thirty days rged from the the they room with th design of the Li ty engine npl in their hance To the honor of these r and the cause for which they worked, let it be added that fundamentally the de- signs haye never been changed. The Ulberty engine now soaring around the world is the same Liberty en- gine these two men put on paper. It was taken fromsthe blue prints and made a reality by the efforts of thou- sands of men and women—and unter circumstances as dramatic also as its concer ; For months, under the direction of Harold Emmons, Chief of the En n Production Section of the Aif Service a small army tolled in se¢ ret to produce the actuals Liberty Motor Engineering geniuses, Leland, Mar- mon, Cripler, Wills, MacAulley and a dozen others met daily at a com mon table and exchanged ideas and confidences for the betterment of this engine that they wouldn't think of doing in the commercial world to- day. And so in'theory the design of the Liberty Motor is perfection itself, It is the masterpiece of American en aineers. Their challenge to the en. tire world. ————.___.

The revelation was a new six-cyl- inder car. A car of 114 3-8 inch wheel-base, and all of the style—and notable improvements that charac: terize the larger Buick cars, The lnes are similar to those of 1924 vintage, and there is throughout the new chassis all the ear-marks of advanced engineering. A ride in this car proves it to be all that is claimed as regards speed and smoothness of operation. It has, of course, the fa- mous Valve-in-Head engine which it is claimed affords more perfect com- bustion and quicker ignition, which means more power and less gasoline consumption, Self lubrication is thing here-to-fore noted. The same successful four-wheel brakes that have.kept Buick in the forefront of popularity during this last year are retained, and low pressure tires are part of the equipment. The point is made rf the fact that on account of adde¢ safety factors the car has an “AA” insurance rating, entitling buyers to preferred rates. Both the touring car and roadster are finished with special enclosed permanent tops and are also, pro: vided with a heater. These two models are in addition to the reg- ular open models. The tremendous crowds who vis- ited Buick salesrooms during the week to see this new car expressed themselves as-astonished at its com- pleteness, its finish and its style.

Bonzo, a captivating ball of black bear fur, was captured by rangers near the Grand Capyon of the Yel lowstone some days ago, and he immediately embarked upon a ca reer of ferocity which within 24 hours earned him the title of the wildest bear cub ever caught in the park He was no more than knee high to the proverbial grasshopper, but every inch of him was full of steel spring and red pepper.

It gives the good performance which men, that depend as much on their cars as doctors do, must have. No doctor can afford any sort of motor trouble.
