NEW MOTOR TO FLY PLANE AT 300 MILE RATE Motor Built At Suggestion Os Navy’s Air Bureau For Speed Record International News Service New York. June 22—(INS)— Two new air-cooled motors are shortly to bo launched on the aviation market, according to Information current here, which are expected to speed up. it not revolutionize airplane construction. One of these motors, designated the -Packard X" is believed capable of propelling an airplane 300 miles an hour The Packard motor, twelve cylinder built in the form of an X, is said to produce 1.250 horsepower. It was shown to Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh during his recent visit here. Compact Motor Simultaneously the development of a new 650 horsepower Curtiss engine also became known. This engine, with a diameter of but three feet two inches of such compactness that it is expected by its builders to exceed by far the effeciency of the present 2,00 horsepower Wright Whirlwind motor, which Lindbergh used on bis flight to Paris. Lindbergh, on his visit to Roosevelt Field just before leaving for St. Louis expresed a desire to see th Packard engine and was taken to the plant at Garden City where the new motor is housed. Much Speedier It was pointed out to him that if this motor had been attached to his “Spirit of St. Louis.” instead of the present motor he could have traveled to Paris in approximately ten hours in theory at least —instead of the Thir-ty-three and a half hours in which he made his trans-oceanic trip. The mystery motor, now revealed, was built at the suggestion of the Aeronautical Bureau of the Navy Department, especially for use of Lieutenant Al Williams, famous racing aviator of the Navy, for the purpose of capturing the world airplane speed record now held by France. o Slight Blouse And Full Skirt Feature Modern Evening Gowns (P.y Hedda Hoyt, United Press Staff Correspondent) New York, June 22—The straightlined sheath gown is decidedly out of the picture at smart evening functions. Nearly every gown is slightly bloused with a full skirt and belted waist-line. The waist-line is usually placed at the top of the hips although some of the slender girls wear nor-mal-waist frocks.

Mort white evening gownS'ftreseen at present than any other single color. Light gray and nude-toned crepe satin gowns without ornamentation other than fabric drapery or bows are among th enewest types for evening wear. One finds the sophisticated matron of fashion choosing these simpler crepe satins in preference to chiffon, georgette or beaded gowns. Silver slippers of kid or brocade lead above all others for rummer evening occasions. Satins in tones to match the frocks are also worn. Hosiery remains pale flesh-toned. Square or V-necked evening gowns are smarter this year than rounded necks. The extremely low U-shaped rear decolletage is seen quite often hut since skirts are short this neckline has a tendency to make one’s figure appear a bit out of proportion. Therefore higher U-shaped are advised for the rear of one’s decolletage. With the period gown, the choker of pale rose-quartz, amethyst, coral or crystal is preferable to longer strands of pearls. And. while mentioning the period gown, let us say that shoulder corsages should not be used upon them. Flowers may be used upon the skirt if one wishes but not upon the bodice. For the very young girl, tulle frocks with semi-fitted bodices and flaring skirts are the prettiest things of the season. Square necklines and tiny puffed slevees give even a more youthful effect. Headed fringes and glistening gowns have been put aside by the smart woman until Fall. Chiffons, crepe satins, flowered georgettes and laces are more apparent at smart gatherings. o — Navajo Indians Use Pony For Exhibitions: Auto For Transportation By International News Service Flagstaff, Ariz.—That wilderness where the sun is master, now is familiar with the honking of an auto

horn and the Navajo now considers"' the automobile as the only and best I ( , f transportation. N.vajo land I having been invaded by the motor one must not assume, however, that the Navajo has discarded his horse. True the Indian no longer employes his pony as a moans of ■ transportation, but In order to up. bold tribal traditions, the Navajo brave of the younger generation chugs to bis pony and uses It at times to display his horsemanship, •'■tit for rnpld transportation 1 throughout the well known "wide I open spaces," the motor ear is I used. I, Carried into the Navajo jeountrv I by the automobile, the white man < introduced the motor car to the < Indian. And the Navajo was not i Slow In profiting by the white man's visit. Once the automobile wns introi- 1 dttced to the Navajo, the latter was ’ while an automobile is standing idle 1 ’ quick to appreciate the fact that 1 ! on the range no fuel is required to 1 sustain it, while if he uses hiu't horse in bis sheep herding, as form- I erly, Old Dobbin must be fed. i — O 1 PRODUCTION OF

HEIFERS TESTED Third Year Calf Club In Adams County Proving Interesting Feature The third year calf chib, which is made up of members whose heifers be-] gan in the work two years ago as baby calves and are now more than two years old. is developing into an interesting feature. According to the rules of the third year dub, members are to weigh and sample their milk from their heifers at least once each month. Their samples are taken to Mr. Ptice. tester of the I Adams County Cow Testing Association, who determines the percentage of, butter-fat in milk and computes the amount of butter-fat produced during the entire month. In this way, members obtain the same service as that given regular Cow Testing Association members. In order to make their work absolutely trustworthy, it Is required that two disinterested parties watch the milking both night and morning and assist in sampling the milk. Since all the heifers have not freshened thus far, only part of the members have reported. Following is given a partial list of the members with the production of their heifers to date; Dan Habegger, Jr., four months, 104.7' pounds: Elmer Inniger, titre months.| 123. S pounds; Walter Amstutz, two months. 43.3 pounds; Herman Griffiths two months 79 pounds; Calvin Steury, two months, 82.4 pounds, and Wilson Weiland, one month, 30.6 pounds. Premiums will be awarded the members of the third year club on n basis i of the production of butter-fat during the first six months lactation of their heifers. oTo Place Bronze Tablet Where K.
