FOR DECEMBER

220 Pursuit Ships Due;

Local Production Set at 350 Motors.

Appr oximately 150 of the 220 : ‘Army pursuit ships expected to]:

= come off the nation’s aircraft pro-

duction lines this month will be - powered by Allison liquid-cooled :

motors. Although aviation production figures are military secrets, experts estimated that the Bell Aircraft Corp. of Buffalo, N. Y, is turning out the Allison-powered Airacobra, a cannon-firing pursuit plane, at the rate of three a day. The Curtiss P-40, also an Allison- - powered pursuit ship, is being produced at the rate of about 40 a week. Production has not started yet on the Lockheed P-38 twinAllison. powered pursuit-interceptor.

300 Motors Per Month About 300 in-line engines were produced last month, according to

best available sources, and of these, more than 260 were Allison motors. These sources said a large percentage of the in-line engines were rejected. Allison officials say that, approximately 350 engines will Ke turned out at the local plant. Approximately 1400 radial motors were produced last month to make a totel of about 1700 engines per month, but experts say this output will not be sufficient to power all the aircraft produced this month. - It was said only enough motors to power about 500 combat planes will be turned out.

Cite Bottlenecks The lag in production, experts say, is due to motor production bottlenecks in production of parts by subcontractors. Ancther cause is improper coordination by the Government in placing defense contracts and the tendency of military services to order numerous changes after plane production has started.

TERMS CAMERA FANS ‘PESTS’

MIDDLEBURY, Vi. Dec. 13 (U. P.) —Actress -Ea Le Gallienne believes the No. 1 pest of the American Theater audience is the candid camera fan. She told Middlebury College students last night that the bracelet rattler and the candy muncher were far less distracting than the amateur lensman who brings his hobby to the

student painter of last season.

CLEANER GIVES BETTER COTTON

New Machine Expected to Increase Bale Value, Rusts Say.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Dec. 13 (U. P.). —John and Mack Rust, who won world fame several years ago when they invented a mechanical cotton picker, announced teday they had invented a cotton cleaning machine that is more efficient than any other device of similar purpose. The Rust brothers said the new machine had been. tested and that patents have been applied for. It will be on the market soon, they said. The invention grew out of the need to improve the grade of cotton picked by the mechanical picker. Cotton picked by machine had been classed: one grade lower than hand-picked cotton because of trash content of the staple. This meant a value decrease of $6 to $10 per bale. By use of the new machine, they claimed, cotton “will come out middling or better.” The machine is a long, narrow, box-like arrangement with a hole at one end for receiving uncleaned cotton and another hole at the other end through which the clean staple shoots into

Loren R. Fisher and «City ‘Market.” , . . The SusEnding American

By FREMONT POWER A few days ago three young Hoosier artists motored back to Indianapolis after an 13,000-mile tour of North America and behind them they pulled a trailer full of art.

In it—a home-made two-wheeled cart—were more than 150 water, color pictures and probably as many ideas, many of them already set down on sketch pads. About 18 or 20 of the best of these paintings are being shown in a onemonth public exhibit at the Adams, Inc., gallery at 50 S. Meridian St. The artists, all products of the John Herron Art School, are Frank L. Engle, 2924 N. Delaware St.; Floyd D. Hopper, 2238 College Ave. and Loren R. Fisher of Needham,

Ind. ; Three Prize Winners Mr. Engle and Mr, Hopper were awarded jointly the $1000 Mary Milliken Memorial Fund scholarship for travel and ‘study at least 500 miles from Indianapolis. The third member of the caravan, Mr. Fisher, won the coveted Frix de Rome, given annually to the most outstanding painting by an American student. His prize-winner was of the chicken counter at City Market, an astonishing accomplishment in composition. Talking to these three young men, one soon gathers that they resemble a certain popular conception of artists as well as a drugstore cowboy resembles & cowboy. Briefly, they dislike the word, “arty.” Mr. Fisher plans to go to a New York studio about the first of the year,“bu he has no idea of hobnobbing with the famous arty art colony of Greenwich Village.

is a blacksmith. ; Mr. Engle is especially outspoken about this business of an artist sticking ‘with his native environment. He says that travel, such as the long trip, “makes you know your own people better.” And he means people right here in Indianapolis. Mr. Engle doesn’t think it’s even necessary to go to Brown County, for instance, for an idea.

Subjects Right Here

“I could go right out here,” he explained, pointing out the entrance door of the Herron school, “and find something which would say just as much as anything you could find in Brown County.” But, make no mistake, Mr. Engle thinks travel is an essential part of the training of an artist. The value of last summer’s trip is hardly comparable, in his opinion, to work in a classroom. Essentially a sculptor, Mr. Engle tried watel. colors for the first time last summer. His pictures at Adams will best illustrate his views on the benefits of seeing your own country. Like quick-spoken Mr. Engle, Mr. Hopper likes his Indiana background as well as any. One of his most

popular works is a Ft. Wayne scene called “Blue Monday.” You may have seen it, both as a lithograph and an oil, at last year’s State Fair. First Mr. Hopper did-this scene in water color. But it didn’t measure up to his standards and he destroyed it. Next came the lithograph and then the oil. He has entered the latter in a competition of the Chicago Art Institute. Of the works entered there, 50 will be chosen for a tour of the country. Mr. Hopper is working now in the studio of Walter C. Bailey and Cecil F. Head in the Union Trust Building. In Big Competition

Mr. Engle’s plans for the future are rather indefinite but he is engaged now in a competition for an entrance piece for the new War

Department Building in Washington. For -a young man like Mr. Engle—he’s 24—this is a little like reaching. for the moon. But if he did hapen to win—well, he'd be about $15,000. richer. Besides a new outlook on their country—they circled the United States and got up into Canada and down to Tlaxco, Mexico, a popular mecca for artists south of the Rio Grande—the three young men also did some experimental work on how to live in a trailer. It finally worked out that Mr. Fisher did the cooking and the other two dried the dishes. And this arrangement gave Mr. Hopper and Mr. Engle a little the best of it, by their own admission.
