"lint when you consider that this Identical slock model will actu'illy travel 72 and more mllcH an hour It becomes evident that Chrysler per forma nee means ex actly what the word Itself means." Following the climb the car was given an economy test. I'nder disinterested observation the kho line vacuum supply system was disconnected, carburetor drained and n quart of gafotlne connected directly with the carburetor. The car then ran 5.1 miles before the can's contents were exhausted nn average of 20.4 miles per gal lon. An average upccd of 2R miles an hour wns maintained. The clutch was let out at no time during the test.' looking over the used cars, the conclusion Is inescapable that what Is needed to rrlve them the'reeou-i nit ion they deserve Is more adjec tives. There nre all kinds of ued j enrs. They include many that might be lu belled "barely used." "careful! v used," "scarcely used." and yet they are all trroupd under the one word, "used." Of course, no denier denies there are some that must be classified as "horribly used." Still, he Is s ndlim more and more of this kind to the Junk , heap.

OF Just what occurs when Kusolinc vapor is introduced into a cylinder combustion chamber, compressed and fired is a problem that has baffled automotive en pi n e e r s. However, they have fnadc progress In Its solution with the resultant increase in power and smoothness of operation found 1 in the better cars of today. Study of the problem Is com parable to the youthful researcher who. on July Fourth.- holds a light ed firecracker In bis hand "to see what will happen." lluth the boy and the automotive engineer are dealing with something that op erates practically instantaneously and with terrific force. The principles of an internal combustion engine are well known. Vaporized gasoline Is mixed with air, heated, and then drawn into the cylinder -by the downward stroke of the piston. The upward ,..,,.. a-.,..,.,...,,...,,.. . i, l,"'H .t-oiPn.tluii and had at their disposal the laboratories a ml the equipment of the corporation in solving this problem. This co-operative effort resulted In a new designe of combustion chamber which gives high com pression performance without the use of speei.it fuel. The compres sion ratio is 5 to I or approximate ly 9H pounds. The design further controls the explosion so that the rise of pressure within the diam Twu distinctive features bring this desired result. One is the step-like profile of the chamber roof above the pistons and the other Is the curves that form the four sides of each chamber. These factors Kovern the rne of expan sion of the burning gas within the cylinders and bring about the ad vantages of high cihupression without "roughness" or detonation.

Dr. Hitleyo Noguchi, Uuicibdo gist with the Rockefeller founda tion's West African yellow fever commission, was a victim of a dis ease whose organism he had suc ceeded in Isolating. Ills puskIuu recalled that Dr. Adrian Mtokesr London pathologist, and It. Oulllct. a French scientist, had succumbed to the fever ii few months before while studying it in the same locality. Records kept by the American Association tor .Medical Progress here show that five other men Hmve given their lives for science tin recent months. Dr. Alvaro Al j via, a i;ra:'.ilian roentgenologist, i died on May 2 1 as the result ot ibis experiments w J t h X-rays, which mutilate so many of the investigator- who study thorn. Dr. Alvin hail lost both hands. Dr. Maxime Menard. French roentgenologist, died in Paris from the effects of similar researches. The death of Cieorge l Williams. London radiologist, on April 10. was directly attributable to his studies, which had claimed one hand and part of the other, lie had undergone 4') operations. I Jr. Alexander ttogdauov, a litis sia if, lost his life after transfusing the blood of a tubercular student to himself on the theory that ho jiiiu ioumu a way 10 muiki up a resistances to the disease. The stu jdent recovered, hut the experiment I was fatal to Hogdanov. Another hero of science In the Uist year was Dr. H. Itawsou Wil son, an Kugtish anaesthetist, lie had done specilt work on the physiology of anaesthetized per sons and was seeking a form of general anaesthesia that would permit the patient to retain con sciousness. He died last Septem ber while experimenting on him self. "The passing of a scientist does not call for parades of brass bands." says Dr. Itenjainin O. Clruenberg, managing director of the association. "There is nothing spectacular in the pursuit of elu sive 'germs, There are no the atrical exhibitions of prowess be fore cheering multitudes. The heroic element fs without display and without poise. A Noguchi accepts the risks along with the hardships and the successes as part of the day's work."
