Joe Borneo, ictircd. motorcycle and automobile racer, has just obtained a Mexican patent , for a simplified airplane motor. All details of the new motor are kept secret for fear that somebody in a country where patents are net respected might steal the idea. I've had more than 30 years ex-- : Borneo perience as a mechanic, said, and I have a Pennsylvania diploma. For the last four years I've put in all my experience and earnings in developing a new type airplane motor. My first experi-- ; ment was a failure. The second! was not so good, and now I have, the third, which has been patent-- j ed. Borneo was born in Monterrey,; Mexico, of American parents. He. has lived mostly in the United ' States, and has raced there, in Cuba and in Mexico. Hes now back in; Mexico City, interested in pushing! his new project. The motor sounds like a marine motor. Borneo said that it is simplicity itself, listing among its advantages the following: It can be manufactured as a Deisel motor, or as an ordinary moof the number tor. It has of parts of any other motor; with, one spark plug it makes four explo-- , sions per revolution. It has no gears, no connecting rods, no valves, no crankshaft, and no gasket, and is therefore lighter than an ordinary motor. It has more torque than any other motor built. ' It is speedy, economical in original cost and upkeep. It can be made in series, with several motors right together. A motor can be cut' on or off at will from the others in the series. Borneo believes that eventually somebody will realize the potentialities of the motor, and that it will then be put into use. Make an Appointment Hy. 7M6 2040 So. 11th E.

Memory of Louis XIV Is Always Keen in Francs a republic, France remembers Louis XIV as one of the greatest monarchs of the pest, for it was through him that the country received many of its artistic and architectural treasures. Because of their value to the republic, France devotes a fraction of its budget to maintaining and restoring the castles, gardens, churches, squares and other contributions of Louis XIV to the country. Versailles palace is an achievement of the monarch which has remained a wonder of the world throughout the centuries. Importaut in French history of the past, the palace plays a major part in the life of the country, for it is there that the election of the president of the republic takes place. France recalls the fact that Louis XIV gave the country its golden age in literature and art, that he enlarged the Louvre, helped create the Tuileries gardens and did much to beautify the city of Paris. On September 5, 1638, Louis XIV in was born at St. Germain-on-Lay- e the chateau begun by Henry II and completed by Henry IV. The room where the sun king was born still remains and is now a miniature Louis XIV museum. Palms In Coat of Arms Palm is used in the coat of arms of South Carolina. Legends have it that the Virgin Mary commanded the palm to bend its leaves over Christ during the trip into Egypt. Palms were known to have supplied tribes not only with food, but also oil, fuel and shelter. One of the superstitions pertaining to palms, notes a writer in the Rural is that if one would make a cross of leaves he would be free from injury during a heavy storm. People in some sections of the country believe that it will drive mice away from granaries; that if leaves are eaten it will cure fever, or that if a palm leaf is put behind the picture of Virgin Mary on Easter morning it will drive away all animals without bones. r, Genre Painting Though practiced in early art, as Pompeiian frescoes show, and in the Middle ages, genre painting was not recognized independently until the Sixteenth century in Flanders, ' where it was popularized by Pieter Bruegel. It reached its heyday in Holland in the Seventeenth century with Gerard Dou, Ter Borch, Metsu, .De Hooch, Vermeer and others of note and extended to France and England in the Eighteenth and Nines teenth centuries. Among its were Watteau, Chardin, Vibert, Boughton and Wilkie. i j expo-jnent- Mor-,Jan- d, 2157 Hyland 8199 Highland Drive MODERN CITY RULED Poor Eyes Never Earned Good Wages BY ARMY OFFICERS Head DepartSpecialists ments of Government. tat FIXATION There must be a mulcular Image on each eye.

The heaviside, a blanket of electrically charged atmosphere 50 to 100 miles above the earth, is responsible for some of the interference in radio reception, Professor Norris E. Bradbury told the American Physical society. Many of the radio waves which reach receiving sets, he said, travel upward from the broadcasting station to the heaviside and back again to earth. The atmosphere of the heaviside is so rare that no balloon could float in it. It is far above the "FLOWERS THAT SATISFY ar Women Forbidden to See Musical Instrument Made Radio Go Haywire?

Never before in the peacetime history of Europe have so many beautiful young women been known to' be engaged in espionage. German, French, Swiss, Polish, Italian and Russian girls are known to be operating. The identity of some of these women is known to the British intelligence service; others are under suspicion, but most of them are merely known to exist, their identities remaining a mystery. A case in point is Countess beautiful Polish woman who now languishes in Moabit prison, Berlin, awaiting trial on charges of espionage against Germany. Although the penalty for spying against Nazi Germany is death it is believed that the Polish countess will be exchanged for a valuable German agent now behind the bars in Warsaw.

Research into the dental superiority of Hawaiians reveals that poi, which has long been a leading native dish in the islands, contains an unusually large quantity of calcium and phosphorus. This coupled with the sunshine of the islands, which furnished the necessary vitamin D element, resulted in the fine teeth and bones of the island race.
