Sold Paso, Texn-s. “Jan. 24—General - Gl CAWR GmiRuts of e Carranza garrison at Juarez, present- ¢ ed to tfe military authorities here today a request that a United States “ noldier hamed Harrison be punished for having fired on and wounded a Mexican civilian last Saturday after- noon. . At the same time representa- tions were made to Z. L. Cobb, United States customs collector here, that American cattle thieves were stealing cattle from Mexicans south of the bor- der. A demand was made that they be apprehended and punished. The Mexican authorities referred to the prompt punishnient they meted out to ‘the Duran brothers, Mexican cattle i'thieves, who were executed yesterday for the murder of Bert Akers, an American killed last Friday ‘while seeking to recover stolen cows just below -the boundary. - According to the Mexicans, Alejan- dro Soto was shot while aiding a Car- wranza soldier to water some horses in the - Rio Grande river Saturday. A preliminary investigation already made /-by United States army -officers, is said to have shown that Soto was on American territory and armed at the time. He is said to_have defied the soldier and threatened to use his own rifle when Harrison opened fire, shoot- ing twelve times. ‘A doubt was ex- pressed _also thst had been wounded.. ‘General Gavim said - that . wound was superfielal: held 'in confinément.: - @olleetor Cobb reported to Wnahlns ton today that the Carranza authori- ties were doing everything possible to aid Americans. He was advisgl this afternoon, he said, . that -Chihuahua state officials were shipping to the border 25,000 worth of silver bars be- longing to an American concern. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GENS.

New York, Jan. 24.—In the first hour today’s market prices registered steady and, in some instances, severe declines, losses extending from two to six points in a variety of issues. This was partly rectified in the final hour, when short covering and grudging support resulted in recoveries of one to three points. Sentiment among traders was bear- ish from the outset and gathered greater momentum at midday, when the selling movement become more general. Announcement of the coming test of strength between the raliroads and their vast army of employes, fur- ther doubt, in speculative minds, at least, as to a disbursement of United States Steel common and other do- mestic and foreign developments were the primary factors. United States - Steel was _heavily traded in at between 84 1-4 and 82 3-8, closing at 83 1-2, a net loss of 5-8. Rails were lower by one to three points, Canadian Pacific, its subsidiary, Soo, New York Central, New Haven and es as well as transcontinentals and grangers ylelding rather easily to moderate pressure. Mexican Petroleum, Texas Company and California Petroleum preferred were heavy to the point of weakness at intervals, and Bethlehem Steel led the war group with a loss of 17 to 455, which was more than retrieved be- fore the close. Other munitions shares, particularly Baldwin Locomotive, New ‘York Air Brake, Crucible Steel, Colo- rado Fuel and the motors, !u!fl!ted liguidation more than bearish en- croachment. Some semi-war shares were affected to a greater extent, their declines coinciding with the news that another amendment, proposing a heavy tax on munitions, had been introduced in the senate. Metal shares suffered less than any other part of the list, being strength ened by reported sales of refined cop per for May and June delivery at 25 1-2 cents. Total eales amounted to 667,000 shares.

Well, there was a time when title to Hooper’s person changed hands for the munificent sum of $25. Toland, the former Hartford back- stop, has a brother who is something of a pitcher. He is built on long, rangy lines, is six feet in height and weighs 200 pounds. He will play with Oklahoma City this coming season. Inflelder Mike McNally, of the Bos- ton Red Sox, who resides at Scranton, has received his contract from the Red Sox management and expects to send it back soon with his alsna- ture applied. Mike Finn, former Waterbury man- ager, who will pilot the Beaumont Texas League club next season, is said 3% | to be after Tommy Leach, the veteran outfielder, who was recently released unconditionally by the Cincinnati Bill Hanna says In the “New York Sun”: “Jim McGuire, who retired the other day as scout for the Detroit club, is one of a great galaxy of slow baserunning catchers the National game has had. Others in it include Jack Milligan, Chx.rlea Brlody, Jack Warner and McLean.” The Cincinnati Reds are looking for two catchers and are anxious to se- cure them from the Federal league, The reason they are after a pair of backstops is that Ivy Wingo may be i | sold to the Boston Braves and as the Reds have only two backstops, it is said a third one can be used. Bill Curtin, who bossed the Sacra- mento club some years back, was one of the parties to the transaction, and the other was McMenomy, who was directing genius of the Oakland club. Hooper belonged to Oakland at this particular time, and McMenomy dis- covered about as much resemblance to a ball player in him as one is apt to find in a barrel of spareribs. He was on the point of releasing the fu- ture world’s series star when Curtin heard about it. “No, don’t do it,” said Bill. “Sell him to me. I'll give you $25 for him.” The deal was made and Hooper started on the road to fame. The worlds series stuff must have been nice rndmg to McMenomy. Reports are sifting through from the front at Humboldt, Ia., where Gotch hangs out, that the champion is quietly preparing for a return to the game and t his condition in the lut three mon! has taken on a de- cided improvement vement, pearances speak truly. It is the pre. vailing belief that when Stecker has a little more publicity from retirement, two-cylinder motor went out before the four, and the four, ul’n t e to split up the driv- ing force still more. A six-cylinder motor is_ theoretical- ly in perfect balance and vibration- less. But in actual practice this bal- Josg | 2NCe many times is nullified to a greater or less extent by the weight of the pistons of the motor. Each piston pushes and pulls on the crank- shaft as it rotates, and the pulls and pushes of all the pistons exert no vibratory influence just as long as the crankshaft remains absolutely stiff and true. But let there be ever so slight 2 twist in tite shaft—let the center of gravity of the piston move even by the tiny fraction of an inch— and as once we have a vibration that is detrimental to the motor and un- pleasant to the passengers. This result is in no way due to ex- plosive force, but to the weight of the pistons being pumped to and fro by a crank. It is an engineering truth that doubling the area of a piston more than doubles its weight. Conversely if we halve its area we do more than halve its weight. But If we are have a greater range of ability -.nd preserve the advantage of balance we must have more pistons. And as soon as the effect of many small pistons of light weight and many explosions of small intensity is noted other advan- tages are apparent. With the reduc- tion of strain through the motor through using many pistons to get the required power, we save not only pis- ton weight, but fiywheel weight, crank- shaft weight and crankcase weight. Further, we get more power an engine of the same total size of capac- ity in cubic inches than is possible in a six of a corresponding standard of engineering. This is because the light pistons and connecting rods allow the engine a greater range of speed, while the smaller bore of the cylinders per- mits the use of a higher pressure, an the higher the compression the more efficient the burning of the gas at all speeds. Naturally the first step onward from a six is an eight. And to preserve the advantages of a short, stiff cranksh almost sacrificed in a sizeable six, to enjoy the benefit of a short, light, Stiff motor, the V or -type of mo- tor construction suggested itself. Once devéloped, the twin-four revealed cer- tain advantages when compared to a six of similar size and power. So far as the character of the torque or turn- ing effect, is concerned, the twin-four motor has an advantage over the six by reason of the more frequent im- pulses of lesser intensity. Another advantage concerns weight, particu- larly in the kshaft and flywheel. All things dered, it is plain that along with the acknowledged ad- vantages derived from the twin-four reappear these characteristics of the original four, which the six was de- signed to overcome. The logical ad- vance from the twin-four is the twin- six type of motor, since it preserves the theoretical and practical balance of the six, and by use of smaller pis- tons and cylinders removes these forces responsible for certain dissatis- factions with the six. It is clear that the torque of the twin six motor must be 100 per cent. better than the single six. Six er strokes per crank shaft revolution blend together so closely as to make it possible to distinguish any pause between them, even at very low engine speeds, as when pulling through traf- fic on up grades. Its operation can best be likened to the action of steam. In weight the twin six is lighter than the single six, and so far as accessi- bility is concerned is quite as satis- factory. Aside from the structural advan- tages with this type of motor, its su- periority in performance is so pro: nounced as to make is a most signi: ficant factor in motor development. It is more nearly than all others the per- fect result that all automobile engi- neers would attain in ability, smooth- ness and silence.” Tts perfect. balance its lighter parts, the higher compres- sion possible and the improved car- buretion due to uniform suction, result in noticeable gasoline and oil economy to the user. Of course actual service is the only real test of a motor's serviceability and in this regard the twin six has even exceeded expectations. It has been very gratifying to us to watch the trend of mbotor development in Europe for air craft purposes, where the prime consideration has been re- liable, economical power with the least possible weight. For this very im- portant service the 12 cylinder motor has steadily been supplanting . other types since the beginning of the war and is the most desirable and sought after type of motor for air craft pur- poses in existence today. In thus es- ubn-mn its supremacy for air craft work, the 12 has had to compete with every other known type of motor with the result that the engineering skill of the world has been involved. This is the time of the year that difficulty is liable to be encountered in starting the engine. When the car is equipped with an electric starter, con- tinuous epinning of the motor will soon run down the storage battery. A sure method of prcvenun‘ extra tax- ation of the battery is to provide some reliable priming arrangement. ‘The chief duty ot the motorist 1s to determine that th fully charged and that t!: electrol fully covers the wtery plates. ’nn.r' h no danger of a fully charged freezing.

Few motorists understand or real- ize the work that is ordinarily re- quired of a starting motor. Because they are informed that an electric motor will start an engine they be- lieve that they are justified ln using it as they please, and that the motor will endure all manner of abuse, when as a matter of fact they ought to be exceedingly careful and not unnec- essarily burden it. ‘The starting motor is in service but a very brief part of the time that the car is driven, and the cranking of the engine the eondifionl that cause bo difficult when done tain In the same ratio when the en- gine ls started mechani For a better understanding of this subject a review of the conditions that may obtain is irabl ing. But first of all there h the fric- tion of the moving and contacting parts, the piston rings and the pis- tons against the cylinder walls, the connecting rods, the crankshaft bear- ings, the timing gears, the camshafts, the valve tappets, the valves (one or more against spring tension), the ‘water pump, the magneto, the genera- tor, the lubricating pump, the fan, as well as the weight of these parts and the flywheel (the inertia) to: be moved; there is the resistance of the lubricant between all moving and con- tacting surfaces, and in addition there is the necessity of compressing the gas or atmosphere in at least one cylinder to a pressure from 40 to 80 pounds. The power required to turn the en- gine depends also upon the dimensions of the parts and the leverage that is obtained with the starting crank. Normally the most efficient applica- tion of manual power is a quick ef- fort, but this is necessary from the fact that only a very strong man could do this slowly, and that an en- gine must have as much momentum as is possible to give it, especially with magneto ignition, for the electric spark can only be created by the ac- tion of the machine.
