Liberty" TJotoor Battle Planes Parsed Final Tests
America's Greatest
Standardization Is One of Chirff actors-rStory
of InventfeirOne Fall of Intaestin4 Sicrif ice
WASHINGTON Sept 12. The Liberty motdry the airplane engine upon
which the United Statevls relying to establish definite air supremacy over the
Germans passed its final' test and te a complete and gratifying success. Secre-
tary Baker announced Wednesday.
.Secretary Baker told how all the best brains and business of American
motordom had contributed Its secrets and achievements to the government
to produce the Liberty motor which is to carry the thousands of American air-
planes over .Germany.
"Probably the war has produced no greater single achievement" the state-
ment says.
Secntary Baker says the motor Is now the main reliance of the United
States in the rapid production in large numbers of high .power battle planes
for service in the war. ' ' "
"The new engine invites comparison with the best that the European
war has produced. v
"Progress has already been made toward1 organising the industry for the
manufacture of the new machines and-dellverles will begin in a comparative
ly short time.
Secretary Baker's statement follows in
na.rt?
The United States aviation engine hss
passed Its final tests. They ware suc-
cessful and gratifying. The new motor
designed by the signal service as the
Liberty motor Is now the main reliance
of the United States inthe rapid produc-
tion in large numbers of high powered
battle planes for service In the war. In
powerSpeed. serviceability and minimum
weight the new engine bears comparison
with the best that the European war has
produced.
ENGINEERS POOLED
THEIR SKILL.
"I recard the Invention and rapid devel
opment of this engine as one of the
really b'.g accomplishments of the United
States since its entry Into the war. The
engine was brought about through the co-
operation of more than a score of en-
gineers who pooled their skill and trade
secrets in the war emergency working
with the encouragement of .the air craft
production board the war department
and the bureau of standards.
"The story of the production of this
engine is a remarkable one. Probably
the War ! produced nogreater single
achievement. X & JT VV .
"One of the problems which-eoafvootei
the aar department and the aiKcralpro-dtK-Uoh
board after . the declaration t$
hostilities was to produce quickly a de-
pendable aviation -motor. Twoj courses
yrure ouciii. One was to encourage manu-
facturers to develop their own types; the
other to Ming the beat of all types to-
gether and develop a standard.
"The necessity for speed and quantity
production resulted In a choice of the
latter course and a standard motor be-
came our engineering objective.

PINK 60LL WQRB IS DISCOVERED IN A
COTTON HEED NEAR HEARNE TEXAS
(Hrfo Pet SfeiaL)
WASHINGTON. Sept U. Press reports to the effect that additional
evidence has been discovered showing the presence of the pink boll worm In
Texas have given much concern to southern members of congress.
Representative Buchanan is engaged In sending out toy Texas eotton
growers several thousand copies of his address on ths pink boll worm In the
hope that it. will give these farmers needed information and aid them in
urging action by the. Texas legislature looking to the enactment of laws that
will check the spread of the Pest
Referring to tha appearance of tha pink boll worm near Hearne As-
sistant Secretary Oualey said: "I hope that) the State authorities. Including
the Agricultural and Mechanical college will join immediately to an effort
to define the fields infested with pink boll worm and that the community
will consent to the most drastic measures for eradication. It Is possible that
by1 prompt action the insect may be destroyed where it Is and further 'In-
festation may be prevented. .The appearance of tha pest should insure the
paasage of State legislation now pending. If prompt action is not taken
there la no- calculating the ultimate damage to be done to tha ootton In-
duatry of the South.. Moreover f Texas does not take prompt action other
Southern States may proceed to-nuaranUne against commerce in cotton with
