Tidal waves nsed to be things that
just happened. They swooped down
unexpectedly, destroyed life and left
the shores strewn with the wrecks of
ships. Nowadays tidal waves are not
so much to be feared, for men have
learned to read the advance signs of
nature. The warning sent out from
Kilauea volcano observatory In Ha
waii several hours in advance of a
possible tidal wave gave people more
than ample time to make themselves
snug and moor their ships fast.
Luckily, If the earthquake 2,200
miles away did cnufce a wave. It was
not serious In Hawaii. And Pelee,
looking down from the place where
exiled goddesses abide. If there be
such a place, must have been pleased
that what science predicted did not
amount to much. For Pelee was the
goddess who dwelt In the eternal Ores
of Kilauea until the missionaries
chased her out Her ancient priests,
too, uttered their prophecies of tidal
waves. The difference Is that the
men who now make the predictions,
depend upon the seismograph. Pelee's
priests relied on the wrath of Pelee
against people who did not behave to
suit them.
S u rg e ry ’s G r e a t D e b t
to Humble Guinea Pig
I f a guinea pig could live long
enough, he might become something
of a scientist himself. His constant
association Is with scientists and with
the most daring and advanced. He
might himself solve the mystery of
why he Is called guinea pig, being
neither a pig nor originating In
Guinea.
When memorials are reared to those
who have done the most for medical
and biological science, shouldn't the
guinea pig have one— even a statue,
Robert Collier, writing In the SL Louie
Globe-Democrat, asks. Thia small an
imal has suffered, bled and died for
the humnn race. We owe it honors.
It Is a vicarious martyr, for surgery,
now the wonder of the world, going
so far as to rejuvenate man, could se
cure so much thorough and convinc
ing resnlta. If It could practice on man
instead o ' guinea pigs. In this, the
knife must wait on time and circum
stance, and go slowly, for there are
few voluntary guinea pigs among hu
man creatures.

acres
w o u ld m a k e a b ig farm
A T Milford, M ichigan, 1168 acres have
-/""Ybccn made—not into a farm—but into
a Proving Ground for automobiles.
Long before your General Motors car is
built, specimen models are sent to theProv-
ing Ground. This fleet is tested in actual
use. It has to meet every bad driving con
dition, from heart-breaking hills to slam-
bang bumps.
But that isn’t all. O ther cars of American
and European manufacture are bought and
put through the same tests, so that General M otors always
knows how its products compare w ith others.
The tests involve speed, power, endurance, braking, rid-
ingcomfort, handlingease;fuel, oil and tire economy; body
strength—every phaseofcar construction and performance.
When the specimen cars arc finally able to meet every
test, they are sent back to the factory. The car you buy
is made exactly like them.
The next time you examine a General M otors car in
your dealer’s showroom, think of those ix68 acres. They
would make a big farm. But they make a better promise
of proved car value.
