ENGINE ... . toda. 's need*.
Any inventive young mail who
thinks there aro no opportunities
left might look into the piob^m ol
uiaking an engine which will use l*ss
fuel thafi the ones uow in use, to do
the same amount of work. There is
no idugine made, steam, gas or Diesel,
which ?uses even a quarter of th>:
possible power contained in the fuel
itg Ufcee. An engine which would cut
dowti the fuel load of &u airplane
by a third, or run an automobili'
twice as far,would n ak? its inwntoi
d e of the world's richest men
News comes frojm England that a
young man has U-vented a mo; or
car enigmo which does rot deposit
carbon on cylinder "w'llls or ^spark
plugs. A motorcycle ran 73 miles o.i
a galtyi with this engine. That young
juavu Ls on the righld track.
The surest road to success is not
n discovering something new,but in
tinding ways to do old things cheaper,
juicker or better.
OIL ?... origin a mystery
Nobody ksows where petroleum
came from if.i the first place. .Scien
tist^ ar.a divided as to whether it is
still being manufactured by NaJ.ure
deep 14 der ground. Some believe 'u
comes from animal and vegetable
deposits buried countess millions ol
years ago About thj only thing that
seems certain is that there 'r> oil to
be found almost everywhere in the
world, if A a goey after it hat?
enough.
Not long ago the discovery of oil
in England was announced,. How
much the supply may bo is not: yet
54 own. It would not be surpr sii g to
.loar of oil discoveries at the North
i'oIo or in equatorial Africa. ,
Geologists .aroLn,ojy; .cojiYillC^l thad

Two or three big oil companies liav*1
taken oil leases on millions of acres

WINDMILLS . power producers
The ch^ap.st natural power to
harness is the wr:d. The on'y reason
wind power is u>ot iv*ed more is that
H call ot b* relied upon to blow
iteadi y in most plaees.Evon Holland
land of windmill, is replaci'-g them
with Dio.sel ef prhiefi whore continuous
pun:ping opera ti'i' is are nr?rSSOry
Travelling lately along the At
lan'.io .eabo&rd, where wind bows
most of the time, I have be 0
struck bv tho .mmber of windmill*
of a new type. Atop of a light steel
t >wer is mounted a fan lik? air-plane
propeller, attached to a Ktl'e ehctric
U nerator also at the top of th?*
tower. Whoii the wind blows, current
is generated bo light a hou.se or ru*
farm machinery, and the unused
surplus U stored in batteries against
the day the wind does not blow.
It looks to iii<> like a very co mona
cal way to get power qi a small cale
though uqt as picturesque a3 the hot
windmills with their canvas sail*
which used to stand on the headlands
of the New England Coast.
10STS . . . . ) . sun power
On the face of it, it seems as if
ator-powcr, sul^power and wind
ower UMi t be th? cheapest ways to
en-rata poAer. In tho days when
i bor was cheap and thoro were no
axes to speak m on inv^it-d capita'.,
hat was tnie. Today it g*nera"ly i
ot th? caso.
