The in crease in passenger comfort re- Eulting : from the' use ; of roller eirings in passenger coaches as prompted more than 50 of the fcointry's principal team, electric, and gasoline-electric lines' to in fctsill Hyatt 'roller hearings, which liaVo been favorably known to the iiutomobile-owning public for . inany years.' One coach so equip ped has traveled more than'325, 1)00 miles without replacements br marked wear. J Railways, like automobile man ufacturers. ( have devoted much fctudy to the problem of smooth out the road for their passen gers, xne moaern ruiiman car, ih$ all-steel coach, and the heavily-ballasted roadbed of today, all uiastrate toe railways' , Interest n passenger weiiare. when alter ears of work on the subject, lyatt. announced in 1923 that it ad. perfected a railway roller bearing, several roads ordered in- jstajjations and began watching the performance of the j innovation closely. . ; fcince that time, railway Install ations of Hyatt have run into the hundreds, and ,a. considerable jn umber are scheduled for the pres ent season.. Oae road has more than 100 Hyatt-equipped coaches in Service today, and will have 150 before the end of i.bo. present sum mat, so satisfactorily is the anti friction axle working out in every day, practice. .The railway installation devel oped by Hyatt provides a certain flexibility, as well ns freedom frqm friction, owing to the unique design- of Hyatt's helical rollers. Unlike a solid steel roller, the hardened steel coils of Hyatts pos sess more or less "give," which trends to absorb some of the shocks of l he troad. This resiliency ac rou'trcs for part of the comfort re tufting from use oi Hyatts, and tW-Jesaened effort required to start Hyatt-equipped coaches ac counts for the rest of it. When-the power is applied to a Hya-U-equipped train, there is no abrupt jerk as with the ordinary train, but an almost imperceptible gliding into motion, like a ship getting - under way. ; This fact means much to passengers, par ticularly in the diners or on sleep ing car, where jolts and jars are most annoying. - The ifyatt Roller Bearing com pany, a division of General Mot ors, has long been famous for its automobile,, industrial, and imple ment bearings. The railway roller bearings which it is now manufac turing represent years of experi ence , in elimination, of friction. They consist of a hardened steel Inner race, to be sbrnnk upon the axle end, -the bearing . assembly proper, with-outer race and oil ring, and a simple means of assur ing lubrication and regulating end- thrust..' One important feature is their interchangeability with: standard., railway journal boxes, without any change in the present lrttck.fr-- . ; - - Public Service of Power , Company Airier With "62" Public .service has come in re cent years to be more and more a paramount objective of American public utility concerns, and in the forefront of this - modern move ment a place of prominence is held by the Daytoa Power and Light Company, of Dayton. Ohio. This progressive company ' has Just purchased for tts emergency service department one of the new Chrysler "62" cars. I announced among the three models Intro duced by the Chrysler corporation within the last few Weeks. . The Dayton Power; and Light company uses J three automobiles in. its emergency service opera tions. A fire alarm tapper is in stalled in the service division's headquarters and three shifts of drivers are engaged, so that cars are ready at all hours of the day and night to respond to every fire and police alarm as promptly as the city's public safety depart ments. - J J. r" -:.','' The s municipal authorities of Dayton have adopted an ordinance authorizing the use of fire whistles on .these cars and granting right" of way on the streets Speciar bodies have been designed and built for the senvice cars enabling them to rendereffoctlve aid on their ar rival at the scene of J a' fire or a disturbance of the peace. SOME: NEW PACKARD MODELS MOTS POPULARITY An Oaken Plow . i JUSTIFIED. SHIM Reasons Given Why 80 Pe Cent of Home Construction of This Type . ' By Jane Stewart Wood has a just claim to pre eminence as the structual materi al for homes. Not undeserved is its popularity through the ages and its first place among Ameri can home owners of today. If as many as eighty per cent of the homes of a nation and es pecially one rich in raw materials and natural resources are built of a single type of material, its advantages must be very .definite. Which is Indeed the case. Eighty per cent of American homes are built of wood. ! 1 Probably the single greatest fac tor in establishing the popularity of wood has been its strength. It is stronger in proportion to it3 weight than any other building material. And it's equally durable. A house of good lumber, kept in proper condition, will last several generations -there are, in fact, hundreds of illustrations of , this fact in the eastern section of our country, old frame houses which are still in good condition after two hundred years of use. While there may be other ma terials of even greater durability there is no comparison in the dif ficulty and hence the cost of build ing. Wood is relatively! asy : to move and erect. It therefore relatively . inexpensive. - . Strong, durable, plentiful, economical these qualities would seem to es tablish it as the chosen material for a pioneer nation. But in recent years when. wealth has been abundant and practical considerations no longer come first of necessity, the claim of wood to popularity is no less undisputed. For its artistic merit equals its practical assets. Aside from Its intrinsic beauty wood has a certain innate-charm. It possesses an indefinable quali ty which makes It seem.: less formal and less harsh - than . material such as stone. It creates an. at mosphere that is somehow more welcome, more homelike. Then, too, it is the most work able. material, by far. being easily adaptable to designs of the most varied type. " Narrow and . wide clapboards, rough and smoothly finished surfaces, shingles, beams, carvings the possible variation is endless. And wood itself (many kinds are available) oft era; still further opportunity, to say nothing of the Infinite possibilities In finish and color schemes. -Here, truly, is a weighty factor love of color The home is one of the best mediums for "Its expression. ' The house of wood, best of all, lends itself-to varied treatment. Interesting and n .

Like wise it shows a strange contrast of transportation methods Gra ham Brothers trucks, the most modern economical means for car- rying"things that man has devised, being freighted in crates on a river boat that could have existed before the lime of Columbus. These Graham Brothers trucks are some of the thousand or more exported to foreign lands each month. Bound for a recently opened jungle district south of K neon tr ados, they must travel a distance of 150 miles as shown. For the last '40 miles of travel the boat is poled by several men , against a stiff current. The fact that Graham Brothers trucks are to be found almost everywhere that civilization is pushing for ward its frontiers is added proof of the reputation for dependabil ity, power and strength that they have made and held for more than six years in .domestic service. cheerful color schemes. Both the practical and artistic qualities of Vood depend in large measure upon its finish. Its life is generally in direct proportion to -the care-rand frequency - with which it Is painted, varnished or stained. "Without exception each of the buildings of frame, historic landmarks ' which have survived the centuries; has been preserved with regularly- renewed protective coats. Equally' Important from "the viewpoint of - appearance is the finisn.' Not only because a smooth and new looking surface contrib utes -greatly in this respect but be cause the color scheme is often more important than the architect ure itself. ' Within the realm of color lie infinite possibilities of beauty. ' Thus has wood established it self in favor.. . The ;bome owner who seeks economy, beauty, or in dividuality will generally find It the material best adapted to his needs. 310,175 Motor Cars Built In August, Report Shows Production of 310,175 motor cars and motor i trucks in August by member companies of the Na tional automobile chamber of commerce, as "estimated on the basis of records of shipments, was reported to the directors' meeting of that body in New York today.
