It Took Five Years
To Build Model
Charles Pope, 70 -year-old Brus-
sel,: mechanic, tlrinlcs steam power
will come back into fairly general
use on farms and roads 4n the
event of another war. All available
gasoline and fuel oil will be needed'
then, he claims, to keep the world's
mechanized armies in the field and
in the air. Three months after the
war has started there will be little
available for home consumption.
Prices, in any event, will be sIry
]sigh, be thinks.
The model represents five years
of work and from the bending of
the first boiler plate the engine was
built entirely fy Mr, Pope himself.
Mr, Pope thinks there's a.
chance that even steam cars' will
nlalce a eomebunk, The trouble
with the old Brooks steamer, be
claims, was that it lacked sutricl-
sent means of peeping its boiler
clean from the lubrfcation that
Missed through the cylinder. It
had a tende>n'cy to corrode and
burn up the flues. On his model
engine he claims M have a water
cooler that overcomes that diffi-
tnulty completely,

Goalie O'Connor was called upon to
