THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7, 1027 moled FiTi TIIEL'D SPEEDED UP Successful: Trans-Atlantic Flight Shows Practicabil ,;.;Jty Of Principles The. t successful cross-ocean ights of Colonel Lindeabergh, Clarence ; Chamberlln : and 't Com rnander Byrd to Europe and of Lieutenants Maltland and Hegen lrgerYo Hawaii hare stirred up a technical Interest and - public enthusiasm for,; air-cooled engines vrhtcb will hare rfar-reaching-ef-fect -on both the aviation and auto mobile industries ". according to comment originating - "in. many quarters daring the last few weeks.' - ' I -That - the , type of motor, with a cooling, system simplified to a fan and: a "few, radiating fins, and which,. up until .recently, has been employed chiefly by the Franklin . automobile, .will cause an upheaval destined to be felt throughout the entire, automotive field la now Relieved to be. certain. T Secretary of the Nary Curtiss p. Wilbur in a recent statement elating to the Navy's part in aviation,r had come and that as a result of air-cooling "progress not before believed possible" was at ," band. U .The subject has attracted con siderable editorial . attention In taetropolitan newspapers. Refer ring to the flights of Lindberg, ! Chamberlln. Maltland and Byrd a which eight air-cooled engines rere used, one New York editor remarks,.' "the value .of air-cooled 'In tors for long, hard pulls is thus established." I Another " Gotham newspaper fiews. Ute situation as 'nothing ferns' impossible to trained pilots $n airplanes that . have air-cooled raotors while a western journal fees that "the panes differed and go did the pilots, but the motors were as identical as precision ma chinery.'. This it finds sufficient indication for the Navy to have oae Jahead with, its expressed reference for air-cooled engines tverf the water-cooled types. Engineers of the Franklin Auto- rooblle company claim that air cooling, is as beneficial to the motorist as to the: aviator. point-f Ing out that it would! be as dif. f icult for an automobllist to ob tain water for bis radiator in some of the southwestern states as it would for an aviator to. replenish the cooling supply for his motor while flying in tnid-ocean. That the widespread use of ! air-cooling in aviation engines will ultimately result in automobiles -turning to the same type, is the belief of, the Franklin designers.

J Beside the two pump gasoline dispensing station, the plant in cluded complete greasing and crank-case service, up to date au to laundrv service, complete tire repair service a complete line of new tires and Accessories, battery and electric srvire conducted by R. D. Barton, and a line of Stewart-Warner auto accessories. AH of the stations will handle Red Crown Standard gasoline, with Moblloi and Zeroline oil service. The acquiring of the new sta tions ix in line with the policy of Yung and Eckerlin to suppty the most comDl;He and thorough ser vicing obtainable in the city. This efficient service has been recog nized by Salem motorists, as is evidenced by the large numbers who have their regular servicing done at the big super service ,sta- y tion. six or eight cylinder car. '. ' "The principle of hyper-expan-sion may best be understood by this definition and explanaton: The efficiency of any good motor car engine is governed, very large ly, by the degree of expansion of the fuel as It is burned, or explod ed, in the cylinders. Power, smoothness, economy, speed, pick up all are in exact proportion to the completeness of fuel expan sion. "Assuming this expansion in the previous highest efficiency motor car engine to hive been 100 per cent, the development of hyper-expansion in the Hupmobile Eight has been so marked that it is 116.7 per cent. "This leads us to believe that those two engines are the most completely developed, in America today."

"Naturally, in view of the con sistent evelopment of the. Nash line, we are intensely proud of; the new models," says Mr. Maden. "The progress of Nash is almost without a parallel, and it is our constant ambition and controlling purpose to perpetuate the princi ples around which this business success has been built by carry ing those principles into our mer chandising practices In order to better serve, as an organiation. the owners of these splendid automobiles." HYPER-EXPANSION NOW IN ALL HUPPS (Continued from P 1 most revolutionary single stride in motor car engine design in the last several years.' - "Hyper-expansion goes to the very root of engineering problems and achieves results far beyond those feasible with the avera go engine., even of today. It means more power, more speed, faster pick-up and greater smoothness from every drop of gasoline, from low grade to high. ; It means greater economy of operation and economy never before en joyed by any . smooth performing Another new and interesting sight which we may ail see soon is Irate W.

As the parade reached Michigan Avenue, it was joined by one of its most picturesque exhibits, an old wood-burning locomotive and tender. ' This locomotive, named Sat illa, after the river of' southern Georgia, was first put in opera tion on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad after it came out of the short in 1860. With steam up and the tender piled high with wood, its brass and its black-walnut woodwork a gleam, it chugged slowly up and down the trolley tracks on Michi gan Avenue with the parade.

That this step by Chrysler re sulted In placing tbe Chrysler car in apposition 'of relative immunity to theft losses is shown by com plete statistical data covering tho theft experience of these Fedeo protected Chrysler cars, which left th factory after July 1st. 1925. fn accordance with its standard procedure,, the underwriters con ference established its 1927 theft insurance rates on the experience data tor the year 1925. - The 1J925 experience data used -by the con ference in establishing rates for Chrysler cars for 1927. did not in clude the Chrysler cars leaving the factory after) July 1st. 192.r. The, conference was able to ac cept this comprehensive and hith erto unavailable data referred to above, which was presented by the Chrysler, corporation, because it was 100 per cent complete on all cars leaving the factory. No such comprehensive data covering, ail tffe earn leaving a fac tory has hitherto been available in the hands of any of the auto mobile manufacturers, or Insur ance companies. :-: . The data, showed so marked an improvement In ihe theft exper iences of -the-ChrywIer earn manu factured after July 1st. 1925. thai combined with tire data already in Its files, 'the conference found the Chrysler car entitled to rates lower by more than 30 -per,, cent.

In the industry- The recert action of the conference shows that as early as the middle of 1925. Chrysler had successfully met one of the serious problems of the industry, and in spite of the extraordinary popu larity of Chrysler car's had suc ceeded in making it a preferred theft risk by. forestalling the auto mobile theif. ..
