Difference of Opinion
Th. lUuniinaiinK Engineering o
Jr nd the Society of Automotive
? .;.rs differ in their opinions of
?iS of headlight needed for
afe driving.
The illuminating engineers set a
itoum of SUII and a maximum , of
rtO candle power as essential. Hie
Umotive engineers go as high as
-,(00 candle power as necessary for
'git driving at night.

It is these irregularities that the

An entire room has been set aside
for the study of headlight focusing

Jfficts will be tried out, and other

Sergeant C. E. Conrad. Kelly Field.
San Antonio, Tex., defied death to
prove a wounded aviator can make a
safo landing with a parachute. Blind
foldod, shackled and handcuffed, Con
rad was pushed from a plane at an
altitudo of 4820 foet and made a safe
landing, setting a new world's record
for parachute jumpers.
Were it not fur the fact that the
Toiled States is u.-ing much more

just what would have happened to the
tiie of storage slocks over the coun
try considering the very heavy sur
plus in storage now as compared to
last year.

announced that 50.001 l,(K0 pound,

AVASII INGTOX, April 1 1 UP) A
soontific expedition t the little known
chain of Aleutian islands off the coast
of Alaska rs the tnsk this summer ji
11 .specinl field party of the const ami
geodetic survey, to be aided by ttie
cuast guard.
Kquipped with modern apparatus,
the party wi.l be picked up by tli'
cont gu;ird. which will land it uit
one island of the roup, resume its
patrol work and later pick up tn
party and tuke it to 'another of thr
Aleutians.
Toe prugrnm of the party, which is
to leave 8cattJe aboard the coast
Kiiard cutter Hindu, April 15, is to
make a preliminary Burrey to colkvt
data useful in a more thoroupb sur
vey; to obtain magnetic observalionM.
including determination of possibic
local magnetic disturbance due to tin
character of -the rocks; to determine
accurate positions by astrouoniical ob
servations; to operate an automati'1
tide gauge, whenever conditions war
ant, and to make topographic sur
veys of the barb th and collect coa.-;
pilot information.
The new radio method will be usg
in getting hitherto doubtful longitudes
by making observations on stars and
receiving radio signals,' and calculat
ing the difference in time between
the transmitting station and place
of observation.
The. party wi.l consist of IJeutenant
(J. C. Jones, Kn.xign J. t. Hose and
two men, all specially selected.
There's nothing that will relieve
the motorist in trouble of both per- j
spiration and profanity, as readily as t
a good tool box equipped with a se- j
led number of tools, is the opinion of i
M. I'rey, local manager of the i
Western Auto Supply company.,, j
"Speaking in the language of the 1
average car owner," says Mr. I'rey, 1
"the tool box in a small compartment I
either under the seat or in the rear!
compartment, given over principally j
to the storage of old rags, broken !
chains.' inner tubes of the past tense,!
and the remains of last summers !
picnics. Scattered among these ar
ticles lie safely the remains of the
tools that have not been borrowed
by the neighbor or appropriated by
the wife for opening cans.'
Coveralls Handy
"But as we are talking about
good tool box, let us jump into our
coveralls and straighten it up right
before the touring season unless you
are in need of personal lubrication,
don't forget the coveralls."
"These suggestions are not so much
for the individual who steps on the
starter and lets the checkbook do the
rest, as for tire happier fellow, who
gets a lot of relaxation, and know
ledge as well, out of tinkering around
doing the simpler problems of car
maintenance. Hence the tool box."
"So let's clean out the junk, get
everything together and look it over.
Here's the kit that came with the
car, or rather what's left of it. Spe
cial tools are provided by manufac
turers for nearly every individual
make of car. If these tools have
been lost, they can be replaced at a
small 'cost. Tools that are never
needed should not be carried for they
are an investment that bring no re
turns." Pliers Necessary
"Two or more pairs of pliers should
be included in the kit the regular
type and a heavier pair of side cut
ters. Screw drivers you should have
at least three; a small electricians, a
four-inch and a largo ten-inch size.
Two other tools that will be needed
are a cold chisel and punch."
"When it comes to tires, every
motorist needs a handy vulennizer for
emergency use. The type that uses
heat units and rubber patches makes
a very satisfactory vulcanizing job.
The cost is smnll but the comfort and
assurance is great.".
"A smooth running motor calls for
an adequate supply of wrenches. Here
especially, only the best will, suffice.
The kit should contain a number of
double end wrenches of the proper
size for your car. And speaking of
wrenches, you will bless the day that
you secure one of the handy socket
sets which includes a wntchct handle
with extension bar and sockets to fit
practically evcrj' "hex" nut or bolt on
the, car."
Towing Apparatus
"The tool box should also contain a
heavy duty jack, good pump, tow
rope, tire chains, tiro gauge nnd nu
interrupter file for emergency use,
Such a list of tools will be fully cap
able of making nny minor repnir that
may be needed while on the road.
"Kven though the tools never come
into play, there is a certain amount of
mental satisfaction in knowing that
they are there and may be brought
into operation should they be needed,
(tnod tools are Insurance against
costly delays nnd a wide selection of
them for the inr will lirm-idn m-orv.

Tourists Sue When
No Snow Is Found
INNSBHUC'K. Austria. April 11.
W) Because there was no snow in
the mountains, as sec forth in an ad
vertisement, a group of Englishman
has entered suit ngainst a travel bu
reau, asking for damages, railroad
fares and hotel expenses.
The English tourists were in Inns
bruck, seeking winter sports, but the
weather was so mild that nowliere
could they find snow or ice. Tln-v
read an advertisement of a certain
resort saying the snow was, or soon
would- be. deep, nnd the skating good
So they traveled thither, only to find
on arrival that the reported snow was
a myth, and the lakes all open. Ag
grieved nnd out of pocket, suit was
begun against the travel bureau
responsible for the misleading announcement.
"For ten years dependable. These
words express the successful attain
ment of an ideal conceived in the
in'.nds ot tlie founders before the first
car homing Hodge ifrothcrd' uaiiw
was placed in the hands of a pur
chaser late in 11)14," says F. M.
Hathaway uf the Hfctriaway Motor
company, locaL d0er, in commenting
on Hodge BroTiiers latest advcrtUe-
llKUt,
"The wurd 'drpeuduMe,' when It
appeared on the poster hoards several;
years ago, focustd public attention on
one bisic charaeateristic. to which,
more than any other, is due the good
name which Hodge Brothers' motor
car enj vs everywhere.
'Having decided to produce a car
bearing their name. 1 lodge Brothers
kopt 'dependability' conttinUy in
m.nd while they were designing the
units, selecting the materials, pre
scribing the heat treatments nnd a'
termining the machining and assemb
ling processes nnd inspections.
"The four-cylinder, L-head typo of
engine was selected because, it hai
always been known, over great per
iods of service to be the most depend
able and free from need of repairs or
adjustments.
"That their judgment a decade ago
was sound is evidenced clearly by the
fact that over 7.r per cent of all pas
senger cars today are powered by
four-cylinder engines nnd that last
year Hodge Brothers' sales showed an
increase of over -," per cent against
a loss of 11 per cent by the autom
bile industry as a whole.
"Hependability of the chassis is the
result of a well balanced design- -of
which Hodge Brothers motor car is
an outstanding exnmpplo. All unit
and component parts are designed and
manufactured to work together in
smooth co-ordination none overde-,
veloped at the ei.pei.se of others.
"The well known policy of constant
development of a basic design as con
trasted with the production of radi
cally different annual models gives
1 nuyer complete assurance of de
j pendahiliiy. Every year since tin
first pndgo Brothers motor car wat
built it has hcn made better by re
t finement of detail.
"When one million Hodge Brot-hcrf
motor cars had been produced it w iV
found that over !H) per cent were still
