TESTS SITISFICTOIT i
NEW YORK, Dec. 2?0. {JP)—A new
motor has been designed 'by the Itali
an company Soc. An. Italiana Motori
Bagnuto, of Turin, and manufactured
by the Officine Meccaniche Michele
Ansaldi, also of Turin. This motor
is also for trucks and instead of
using gasoline it uses naptha. It has
the outward appearance of an ordi
nary gasoline engine except that it
functons without carburetor or mag
neto, without spark plugs and with
out compression.
Tests have been made with this
motor mounted on a truck chassis
and driven from Turin to Paris. For
observation purposes, an engineer
from the Office of Liquid Combusti
bles of the Ministry of 'Commerce and
Industry of France was taken along.
The 760 kilometers were covered in
33 hours averaging 23 kilometere an
hour; 234 kilograms of naptha were
used and about 20 kilograms of lubri
cating oil, with an average cost of
lira 0.31 per kilometer (the value of
tile lira is about $.0544).

FEW IDLE MEN
There are a few idle men in Fair

but not as many as one would sup
pose according to the large number
employed during the past season.
