Wire Spinning Champs T Put up Hudson Bridge Read the Classified Ads. NEW YORK ( AF ) The world's biggest wire spinning Job, that of making the cables for the sus pension bridge over the Hudson river, linking New York and New Jersey, la under way Four cables, each twice as long as any suspension cables ever made before, are "being spun In their permanent positions high above the Hudson. Each will have 25,000 strands of wire, and they are made by twisting the wires together, one after another, with machines at each end of the cable. The bridge Is more than twice the length of the present largest suspension bridge, that linking Philadelphia and Camden. The daring engineering carries the Hudson bridge across the riv er in a single span of 3,500 feet. It is longer than would be the re sult of placing together, end to end, the world's two largest arch bridges, both of them now build ing, one over Sydney harbor in Australia and the other from Sta- ten Island to New Jersey. These arches are nearly 1,700 feet long. The spinning is facilitated by workers on platforms swung from' temporary cables, just below the position of the permanent cables, At heights ranging from 635 feet above the river at the suspension tower tops, to 235 feet at the cen ter of the river. .The bridge is going up under direction of O. H. Ammann. chief engineer of bridges of the Port of reduce vibration. New York authority. Ha has been building' bridges 25 years, and is one of the engineers who have maintained for years that ' the Hudson can be spanned successfully. The rigidity of this vast struc ture will-be supplied largely by Its own weight For the first time Jn the construction of large suspen sion bridges, there will be no rig id stiffening trusses to prevent sway. The dead weight of 200 million pounds suspended by the cables is counted upon for rigidity. It Is calculated also as sufficient to counterbalance any noticeable side sway from wind pressure, which is estimated at a possible maximum of 1,500 pounds a lin ear foot. Omitting the stiffening trusses, Mr. Ammann says, has no bearing eaietr, for stiffening of sus- '.on bridges is done for com- . the safety depending upon other factors. This span, for safety, is plan ned to carry a live load consisting of 10-ton trucks 25 feet apart in each of the eight lanes on Its up per roadway, and on its lower deck, the heaviest rapid transit trains, one train length apart on all four railway tracks. Only the upper vehicle and pe destrian roadway will be built at first. Later, when railways are in stalled, Mr. Ammann says, light stiffening trusses will be added to 111 IDIII AT HIGH LEVELS DETROIT, July 29. There has been no let-up in production dur ing the past week at the automo bile plants In the Detroit district. Plants at Pontine, Lansing and Flint also are going ahead on large production schedules. It Is reported that there has been a slight gain In the number of orders received from dealers In the agricultural districts, despite the fact that farmers are very busy at the present time harvest ing their crops. The fact that new cars are an ticipated from some of the fac tories has not caused any let-up in sales at any point in the country. Some years ago there was usually a slight falling off in sales vol ume during the summef vacation period on this account. There baa been no let-np in out put by the large producers, as the dealers have been able to absorb all the cars available. This condi tion is expected to continue for at least another month and possibly longer, due to excellent conditions in the industrial and agricultural fields. NEW TOrtK (AP) A call to throw off the shackles that have bound the male to conventional garb has been sounded. Here man, usually represented as more scornful than envious of (he approach of pennyweight garb for the so-called Tain sex, now finds himself exhorted by self-appointed -champions to rise In re bellion against the burdensome garments that have weighted his shoulders for centuries. Thus far-the unruffled calm of Main street has been undisturbed, but In the great metropolitan cen ters of the world New York, (London, Paris, Berlin and Chica gomales have heard the bellig erent cries of brave souls sudden ly aroused by man's saratorial en slavement. Their potential eman cipators have gained few follow ers. But they are not downhearted. . Some would clothe his large frame In pajamas of multicolored design, with a swanky cut and set off by a tie or a belt.. These two piece costumes would supplant the heavier and more cumbersome apparel which he has worn with such fortitude. Others more conservative, prob ably taking their cure from the golf links and the tennis court, would uncover the long hidden masculine knee to the breeze, ex pose his Adam's apple and free his bony elbows from encasement. To accomplish this revolution ary step they would have men don Other bulbs, such aB daffodils and narcissus should be left in the ground until the tops have completely wilted down. Then the tops should be removed. The bed which contained these bulbs may be planted out to other plants which are seasonal. ' IXI : ow piices shorts reaching just above the knee, and sport shirts vita collars open and tieless, and abbreviated sleeves. Socks and shoes would complete the costume. The men of London, Paris and Berlin have been urged to adopt the shorts and reverberations of the call for a war on male dress have reached American shores. 'In NewTTork and Chicago, fear less males have expressed their scorn of convention by appearing in pajama costumes" on Its thor oughfares. Apparently they have been undismayed by the tenor of interest in their garb. 7 All of these champions of male freedom in dress contend that men should no longer suffer in stifling weather but take their cue from the opposite sex which,' though pictured as weaker, has shown far more courage and Indepen dence. More comfort and less clothes Is the watchword. Some time milady's four-pound costume may be matched by men's garments but right new most of them seem, content to bear up un der their 10 pounds of clothing. But who can predict what the fu ture may bring? Mail Pilot has Excellent Record SAN FRANCISCO Nineteen hundred-times over the Sierra Ne vada Mountains, with but one forced landing due to bad weather, is the record which C. K. Vance, veteran air mail flyer, may be Justly proud. Vance has been flying the mall for the Boeing Air Transport, between San Francisco and Reno, for seven years. If your tulips have not been dug, now Is the time to do it.

When Dinosaur Wagged iil Fifteen-Foot Radius Was put in Real Danger r , . WASHINGTON (AP) "When . iitnunr warred its tall, the surrounding territory was In for some damage. A 15-foot tail belonging to one of the giant reptiles before it was transformed into rock millions of years ago, has been uncovered bj a Smithsonian expedition in the San Juan basin in New Mexico. . It was complete, with all joints intact, but there was no trace of the rest of the beast which brows ed on plants or animals before the ice sheet blanketed a part of the world. . Parts of a sknll.'of a horned di nosaur, never before found in fau na of the same formation,- were unearthed and a collection was made of more than 20 turtles, all practically complete. The-turtles some - measuring three feet 1 n length, represented both land and water, types. The -desert sands, pierced by Uagebruah. and. scanty vegetation and now the home or Navajo In dians peacefully tending herds of sheep, was rich with surface indi cations, of the ancient reptiles. The ground, according to Dr. Charles W. Gllmore. curator of vertebrate paleontology of the Na-. tional museum and head of the ex pedition, - was literally- covered, with fragments or dinosaur bones. The region, heretofore worked only by geologists and. not before bv naleontolosfets. was covered with wind-blown sand. When the giant reptiles roamed the- land millions of years ago. the area was one of swamp land.
