WORLD'S LARGEST
AIRCRAFT ENGINE
HAS 2,000 H. P. |
Washington. ? The War Depart- I
?lent announced Monday develop
ment of "the world's largest and
most powerful air-cooled aircraft
engine" ? a 2.000 horsepower, 18
cylinder monster.
The engine is the creation of
the Wright Aeronautical' Corpora
tion of Patterson, N. J., assisted !
by the Army Air Corps.
With two rows of nine cylinders
each, the engine, said Louis John- <
son. Assistant Secretary of War, .
"is 500 horsepower more power
ful than the 1,500 horsepower
Double-Row Cyclone 14 which has
the highest power ever accorded
an American-built air cooled ro
tary engine by the Civil Aeronau
tics Authority."
The new engine, known as the
Duplex Cyclone, has been under
development for the last-, two
years. Its first commercial appli
cation has been made in a long
range flying boat which carries 52
passengers and a crew of five. The
plane, flown for the first time last
week, is powered by two of the
new Duplex-Cyclones.
Developed from the Double
Row Cyclone 14, the ne\y engine
will be displayed publicly May 20
in the Army Air Corps exhibit at
the New York World's Fair.

TOBACCO BEDS,
Wilson. ? Reports to farmers
hereabouts during the week-end

in parts of North Carolina and
Virginia that some growers in Wil

beds at night against theft.
Several farmers reported theft
of plants last week.
County Farm Agent W. L.
Adams said he had heard of heavy
sale of plants by growers of this
county and added that there would
be no shortage in this county. In
stead. there likely will be a sur- j
plus, he said.

Lima. Peru, May lo Dr. Hip
olito Larrabure, chief surgeon and
director of the Lima maternity
hospital, said a 5.96 pound boy
was born yesterday to a child mo- 1
ther just over- 5 years old.
Dr. Larrabure said one of the
strangest gynecologidHl cases in
the world w^is witnessed by 60 j
doctors when Dr. Geraldo Lozada '
and Dr. Alejandro Busalleu per
formed a Caesarean operation to |
deliver the child.
The sJiild was declared to be in
perfect condition. The childmoth- j
er also was said to be doing well. !
"The birth certificate of the I
childmother, Lina Medina, shows
she was born in 1934," Dr. Larra
bure said. "Her age also is corro
borated by the fact she still has
her first teeth and is not more
than three feet, one inch tall. Her
features are perfectly childish and
iier mentality corresponds to that
? if a child."
"I am sure this is a unique case
in a world-wide medical history,"
t lie doctor added. "So far there is
no report of a similar case, though
last year a Colombian. Dr. Ketre- ;
l>o, reported the case of a girl ?
about eight years old who gave j
birth in a normal way to a child."!

CHILEAN PAVILION AT
FAIR
Xt'w Ambassador Makes First
Public Appearance at Oedica
tiou
Dedication of the Chilean Pa
vilion at the New York World's
Fair, oil Sunday, i\lay 21, marks
the tirst official public appearance
of Alberto Cabero, the new Chil
e5u Ambassador to the United
States. Ambassador Cabero, who
has just arrived in the United
States to take up his new duties
in Washington, will be the princi
pal speaker jit the dedicatory cere
monies.
The Chilean Pavilion, a gleam
ing structure of steel, glass and
concrete, occupies. 24,000 square
l'eet of landscaped area in the col
orful Court of Nations. An L,-sh?p
ed structure, two complete faces
of the Chilean Pavilion are mir
rored in a beautiful crystal-clear
pool, and through wide panes two
stories in height, a giant nrural
painting. by the Chilean artist!
Camilo Nori, is clearly visible
from outside the building. _
Of course, Natural Chilean of
Soda is an important part of the
Chilean Pavilion. This natural
product, used in Southern agricul
ture for more than nine hundred
years, is a major product of Chile.
The significance of the natural
origin of Chilean Nitrate is clev
erly and interestingly emphasized.
Visitors to the Chilean Pavilion
will meet two old friends, Uncle
Natchel and Sonny. These two
characters, who in newsjpapers,
farm papers, over the 'radio, and
on calendars, have been featured
in the advertising of Natural Chf
lean Nitrate of Soda, are present
in life-size figures which occupy
an important 'spot in the ground
ttoor of the Pavilion.
Many new aspects of the Chi
lean Nitrate industry are shown ?
for instance the extent to which it
helps to finance the purchase by
Chile of American products, and
the fact that it is a large factor
in Chile's being first among all
foreign countries in the payment
of Panama Canal tolls. Chile paid
toll on 4,235,000 tons of ship
ments during She bought
some $24,600,000 worth of finish
ed goods, and raw products, in
cluding cotton, from the United
States during the same year. Dur
ing the past ten years more than
one-third of all Chile's purchases
were made in the United States.
The manner in which Chile's
importance as an American mar
ket is visualized is one of the
World's Fair's many interesting
exhibits. Elaborate animated dio*
