BIG RICE SURPLUS IN CHINA ,
.
$10,000,000 Worth of Grain Stored In |
One City; American Buyers
Hold Back.
Hongkong.—Hongkong has been
Stocked with rice bought for export
and held for a rise in prices even dur- ,
ing the rice shortage, which has be
come serious in some cities of southern j
China and other parts of the Orient. j
The manager of a big commercial j
firm here estimated that there was ■
more than $10,000,000 worth of Saigon j
•‘long” rice stored in Hongkong.
Recently the price fell rapidly and
dealers and exporters founjl them*
selves loaded up with rice while ih*
banks were pressing for the pay men;
of bills. Japan was not able to buy
owing to the tightness of her money j
market, and it was stated that Amir
lea, ordinarily one of the largest buy
ers of rice in this market, has ceased j
to purchase because she had obtained |
•a sufficient supply. I
There were food riots in Shanghai '
In the latter part of June owing to
the high prices of rice there. On ■
June 2l> there was only a lour days' j
supply of rice available in Si. i gi ai.

GREATEST PLANE
MOTOR IN WORLD
Most Powerful Airplane Engine
Ever Built in United States
Made in Detroit.
Capable of Driving Machine at 200
Miles an Hour, Says Designer,
One of Liberty Motor Cre
ators—Is Fireproof.
Detroit.—A new 500-600 horsepower
airplane engine, the most powerful
ever built in this country and the most
powerful in the world except for a few
racing freaks, has been completed here.
It is expected to develop speeds far
greater than anything yet achieved.
In addition it is fireproof, and it can be
started “cold” after a long dive, thus
ending two of the greatest dangers
that aviators have had to face.
This announcement was authorized
by Col. Jesse (1. Vincent, designer of
the engine, who is known as one of
the creators of the Liberty motor.
The new engine, in spite of its great
power, is no freak. It is intended for ■
steady, long-time service, either for j
heavy duty or for great speed, and is j
designed for American quantity pro* !
uuetion methods.
Made for General Use.
While the men who are handling the
new engine expect that it will push a
• ane at least 200 miles an hour, the
engine was not designed for this pur
pose alone, and Is capable of wide and
general use. It weighs only 1.94
1 ounds per horsepower.
The lessons which Colonel Vincent
learned during the war in his study of
the actual performance of the Liberty
motor, as well as of the best makes
from both allied and enemy countries,
: re embodied in this design, and as a
result there are several notable ad
va nces.
Most important is that the motor is
fireproof for all civil purposes. This
has been attained by putting the car
buretor below and outside of tbe crank
•use, with all vents outside the cow
ling so that there is no possibility of
conflagration from a back lire. This
arrangement also has the advantages
that it gives gravity feed, thereby
eliminating the weight of extra piping
and of the feed pump, and that it
makes the carburetor much more ac
cessible.
Exhaust Valves Changed.
Another change has been In provid
ing two inlet and two*exhaust valve*?
for each cylinder, instead of one. Toe
result has been a bigger and steadier
flow of gas to the cylinders, and a
very high mean effective pressure even
at great speed. A double finger valve
! !:ft is used, and this permits charges.
1 in the cam-shaft and rocker-arm me
chanism which make this engine much
superior to any predecessor in the
troublesome matter of leakage from
the cam-shaft housing.
A third change is in the nse of a
i single duplex carburetor, instead of
the usual two carburetors. The difli
cufty of synchronizing the throstle and
altitude controls of two carburetors
has always been a bugbear to r viators,
but it had been felt that two < r more
were necessary to give the veep'isite
flow of gas. It has been fos id in the
tests, however, that this sing’** duplex
gives splendid economy and o.i.er de
tails which, in the opinion of Colonel
Vincent, fully justify the design. He
predicts that it will prom; " v !mco>v<

It Fays To Advertise
Wouldn’t it he helpful if one
could tell at a glance whether the
fair feminine persons who has
caught our eye is a maiden will
ing to wed, a widow who is in
consolable, or one who is willing
to be consoled? They have it.
a. ranged that way in Japan.
Pile Japanese women have
certain ways or arranging the
hair to indteate their state and
eelings, and as they do not wear
uals, all who run may read. Girls
who would wed arrange their
hair in front in the form of a fan
or butterfly, and adorn it with
silver tor colored ornaments.
Widows who are also looking for
second husbands fasten their hair
at the back of the head by means
of tortoise shell pins, and widows
who are resolved to remain faith
to their departed spouses cut their
hair short and wear no orna
ments in it.

"He’ll Keep Os Out Of
War,” Cox’s Slogan
i
— -— —
Dayton, Aug.. 9.—Another
“keep us out of war” campaign
is the plan of Gevenor James M.
Cox and Democratic leaders.
The success which greeted the
1916 slogan of “Pie kept us out
of war” has determined the use
of a slogan as nearly like it as
possible. The old one is to be
replaced in this campaign by
“He’ll keep us out of war,” a
slogan based upon the Dem
ocraiic claim that ratification of
the Wilson covenant of the Lea
gue of Nations will result in
world peace.
