the American army and navy. There

a hornet's nest when I tackled the ob

a heartless htlng to do; for. After All,
what I wanted to do was to get rid

These bullets are tipped with phos

their flight by the phosphorescent streak
they make, but when they get Into the
gas of a. balloon's interior they set fire
to it. I put several bullets through the

I found I had been hit ST times.

I have been up 2J.0OO feet to. get
above the hostile craft. The thing that
an aviator dreads Is to have his engine
stop on him a mile or so from his own
lines. I have had my engine stop -lots
of times, but I was always able to get
It going- or to volplane to safety behind
our own lines. On ; February 10 one
of our men. McKee, met with that acci
dent, but he evidently had to alight in
enemy territory.
"With our type of machine we point
the gun by pointing the airplane itself.
One day I had a duel with a German
biplane. It had an observer and a pilot.
They were armed with a, swivel ma
chine gun operated by the observer, and
the pilot had a fixed machine gun. We
flew at each other at the same level.

a single shot In my machine. On an
other occasion three of us were out to

swooped down on us. My comrade got
one of the German planes, but the others
closed in eq him and killed him; so his
machine went down, out of control. I
went for the attackei-s tnd got one of

How Rev. Harvey Clarke Became
Founder of Psclfic "University. ,
When J. A. Webber established (ho
Willamette Oas Knginei & Machine
works about 11 years ago, it was a
miniature enterprise. But he adopted
the motto. "Nothing shall teae thU
place that la not perfect as to material
and workmanship." and ; thereby laid
the foundation for a business that has
prospered until now he octfuol-is a 1 slid

Burnslde streets, nhich. contains a
first class machine shop-' and 'garazc. '
The structure is all of brick save tha
roof, and most of It ls floored Uh

and cars housed there are pructlcully
secure against flames, accidental or
otherwise. For the repair of automo

lie nas an ainas- oi iron - ana steei
fabricating machines., (and skilled
mechanics to operate them. He can take
a crippled Auto And heal its Infirmities -quickly.
And the job Is there to stay.
"Whatever trouble there ever Is with
the operation of a drag saw," Mr. Web
ber . declares, "originates in the engine.
Those now hi use are the two-cycle
kind, end the change . from the ex
haust to the fuel ', 'power v. must
take place at one and the same
time. . In other words. can you expel, the
air from your lungs and Inhale it at the
same Instant? Of course, you cannot,
and to overcome this difficulty, I am
spending all spare time In perfecting a
fourtcycle engine a device thAt will re
ceive the fuel power at -one stroke or
the engine And dlucharre the exhaust
at Another. It will be equipped with a
high tension magneto, will be foot proof.
And Anybody with ordinary Intelligence
can operate It. All parts win -be Inter
changeable with those of: the Ford. My
engine will be a counterpart of the Ford,
And Any one owning a drag- saw equipped
with it, should any part break or wear
out, to repair the damage will have
only to go to any place selling Ford
engine equipment and for a comparative
ly small sum buy a new one. He will
not need a machine shop to help him out
of his trouble. He win not have to
wait until a duplicate part ran be made.
X firmly believe this type of engine will
find universal use on all drag saws, of
the better class. At least And except In
the matter of engine there is little dif
ference between- them. Just when my
engine will be In readiness I cannot say.
It is so difficult to secure help that
one's calculations are very Apt- to go
Awry." . . . J
Other mAchlnists Aay Mr. Webber Is
on the right track. And that drag saw
owners and buyers will welcome sucl
an engine improvement. I As is so fre
quently remarked, they say "the wonder
Is thst somebody had riot thought of
this before."
