PRODUCES NEW TYPE OF ENGINE AIRPLANE MACHINES WITH- OUT CARBURETORS RE- CENTLY INVENTED ° = not as productive as anticipated, (My Assoetnted Preasy BERLIN, April 16—A new twelve-cylinder airplane motor without carburetor is hailed here as Germany’s latest contribution towards modern aviation. Constructed by the Junkeds works, the engime is described as‘ s being not much heavier than the motor of a big-passenger car. It is said to develop 1200 hp. The place of the carburetor is taken by a fuel pump which in- jects an inflammable mixture of gasoline and air into the cylin- ders. As every cylinder is served individu: , the power mixture remains assured at all speeds, changes of temperature or weath- er conditions, it was stated. Another claim that the danger of fire is reduced greatly by this system of pump feeding, as no inflammable mixture is formed outside of the combution cham- bers. Another advantage is said to be a considerable saving of fuel as compared to a carburetor- equipped motor of the same siz The saving is estimated at be- tween 15 and 20 per cent, which means greater flying range or in- | creased payload.

This interesting aarlicle contains the following: “If the proposed Ever glades National Park be- comes a reality, the coral reef will undoubtedly prove one of its chief aitractions™. This authoritative state- ment carries the assurance that a large proportion of the hundreds of thousands of tourists which the Everglades National Park. when estab- lished, will attract io South Florida annually, will include Key Largo in their national park touring plans. It will be but natural for a large proportion of this vast horde of tourists, when once on the Keys, to continue their irip down the Over- seas Highway and to Key West. The Everglades Na- tional Park. when establish- ed, can be reasonably expect- ed to become a tremendous asset to Monroe County and Key West. BSS SS STIS SSF 4 OCHANDARENA PLAN PROGRAM IN AID 10 CHILDREN {Special to The Cifzend JACKSONVILLE, April 10.— Now at the half-way point, Flor- ida’s Aid to Dependent Children com- basis program promises to be Plete, on the present of grants, by July 1, the end of its fiscal year, according to an- nouncement today from the state the State Welfare offices of Board. With ADC investigations given precedence by district staffs the state over. indications are that grants for July will total $1,050,- 000 and that approximately 10,- 000 children will then be receiv- ing public assi: One-third of the funds expended will come from the federal treasury and ihe remaining $700,000 from the state till. Lack of state funds delayed the inauguration of the Aid to Dependent Children pro- gram until late in 1938. Because of limited available funds and larger potential case joads than can be taken care of under present appropriations, al- lotments to counties have been made on a population basis. In Monroe County the monthly allotment is $726.00, while in March seven families or 17 chil- ;dren were on the payroll for a total sum of $206.00. The aver- ance.

Arndt Webber, Inc. distributors of Granday Green Turtle Products. And he put in a week's fishing. The week was extremely bad for fishing with high winds and milky seas, and Mr. Arndt could put in but three days of fishing. Now let's see what the best of those three days pro- duced. Off the reef Mr. Arndt’s line was suddenly seized and be- gan to rip off the reel amazingly so much so that Arndt found it going out faster than he could pull it in. However, the big fish finally stopped and after work an amberjack, one of the big muscled fish which hang out on the outer edge of the reef was boated. Four other times this was repeated with one ime |Arndt believing the line would surely be lost when a 65 pound amberjack was hooked and later boated.
