LOWER BUS FARES ASKED BY CITIZENG . Bradbury Heights Residents Will Sign Petition of East Washington Association. More than 150 residents of Bradbury Heights will be signatories to a peti- tion for lower bus fages when it is presented to the Public Utilities Com- mission shortly by officers of the East ‘Washington Heights Citizens’ Associa- tion, H. P. Welsh, association secretary, said Monday night. The civic group, acl ed to meet at the Bradbury Heights M. E. Church, 4213 Bowen road ast, did not have a regular session owing to the absence of a quorum. A brief, informal discussion took pl among the few members in attendance. The petition, being circulated by a committee of the assoclation, contrasts the 15-cent straight fare asked by the W. M. & A. Motor Yine, the only trans- portation company operating in the Bradbury Heights section, with the 8- cent fare allowed residents of Hillcrest and Anacostia, adjacent communities. by the Capital Traction Company and the Washington Railway and Electric Company. The Bradbury Heights as- zoclation has been endeavoring for more than two years to bring about adequate transportation facilities with reduced fare rates for the East Washington com- munity. Flection of officers of the East Wash- ington Heights Citizens’ Association, scheduled for last night, was neces- sarily postponed. PLANE MOTOR OF 21 PARTS INVENTED Houston Inventors Say Hurricane Approaches Ultimate in Sim- plicity of Construetion. HOUSTON, Tex. (#)—An airplane engine of only 21 working parts—about one-tenth as many as in an ordinary engine—has been built and tested in flight by two Houston inventors. The engine, called the Hurricane, its backers say, approaches the ultimate in simplicity of construction. It weighs 225 pounds, develops 150 horsepower and requires an average of seven gallons of gasoline an hour. Its designers, H. F. Lyons and Victor Toce, say it can be built more cheaply than engines now in general use. Lyons and Toce have completed the engine after eight years of work. It operates on the two-cycle principle and has neither valves, rocker arms nor carburetor. It is an eight-cylinder radial type. Sponsors of the Hurricane believe its unusually light weight, few working parts, low fuel consumption and low cost of construction will make it par- ticularly suitable for small, privately ewna%.l:lllnu. A plane equipped with the engine at- tained speeds of between 90 and 110 miles an hour. The engine has been sent to an Indianapolis engineering llbol":lory for further tests and refine- men HELD FOR GRAND JURY. Man Faces Trial On Charges of Looting Autos.
