pPPBOVED' SIGNS
"WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 10.
Salesmen for meaningless "ap
proved signs are reaping a rich
. harvest at. the hands of operators
; of small Inns and wayside homes
throughout the country, the Amer
ican Automobile association de
clared today In broadcasting a
warnlngriaTitionins those catering
to motorists to thoroughly investi
gate the organisations ottering
such signs before placing them In
use.
fThere Is no doubt," said the
national motoring body, "that
; many thousands of people desiring

owners purchase these fake 'ap

lieve they are buying something
worthwhile. However, In the ma

JThe A. A. A. advises operators
of Inns and wayside homes not to
pay la advance for "approved"
, signs and to carefully Investigate
- their merit and the organization
behind them before placing them
In front of their places of busi

' fThs ear owner," says the
statement, "has become an ex
perieseed traveler." and is wise to
' the fact that these 'approved
signs Are without any practical
'value a a guide; unless he is fa
miliar with the authority behind
r them. -
"An Indication of the Import
ance of curbing this new form of
graft is seen in the fact that a
move has been started in New
England to eliminate these oper
ations through legislation to pro
tect the touring public. This pro
gram has the support of leading
,- hotel Interests." The statement
continues: '
"One of the most hopeful signs
- In the fight against this duping of
. the public is the tact that the car
owners themselves are in the large
majority patronizing places bear-
' lag the endorsement of nationally-known
organizations.
"When approached by a sales
man for such signs, the hotel
operator or wayside home owner
should never put out any money
until s thorough investigation has
.been made of who is behind the
organisation; how it is operated;
Its purpose; service to motorists,
.etc. Steps should also be taken
- to eee that it is an organization

Wire Spinning Champs T
Put up Hudson Bridge

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

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

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

as more scornful than envious of

shoulders for centuries.

The men of London, Paris and

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.

WASHINGTON (AP) "When

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

The -desert sands, pierced by
Uagebruah. and. scanty vegetation
and now the home or Navajo In

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

with wind-blown sand. When the
giant reptiles roamed the- land

Less than eight months have
elapsed since the first Chevrolet
Six was delivered into the hands
of an owner and already there
are more than a million six
cylinder Chevrolets on the
road! And the reasons for this
overwhelming success are easy to
understand.
Into a price field that had hitherto
been occupied exclusively
by four-cylinder cars
Chevrolet has introduced
a six-cylinder car of amaz
ing quality and value. Not
only does it offer the
smooth, quiet, velvety
performance of a great
six-cylinder valve-in-head
motor but, from every
standpoint, it is a finer
automobile than was ever
before thought possible
at such low prices! Its
