out with superlative performance,

tukes the public fancy, It Is match

This tendency to match perfor
mance has been apparent for years.
Several .years ago It was found
tho!t only two makes, of cars in
America could climb a certain ex
perimental hill in high gear. En
gineers went to woi;k &pd as a
result there were only" two cars
the hill defied tho next year. Now
eyery car made In this country
will do it.
Tho same was true of - four
Wheel brakes. , When the first
four.-wheel-brakes appeared a few
years ago, they immediately caught
public funcy. Some manufactur
ers felt them unnecessary ond said
so, but the public's wiH prevailed.
Competition to keep in public
favor Is seen also in similar body
types. -When, a distinctly now
body style . appears. It is watched
closely. If it "takes" with the
public similar body desgins are
certain to appear soon afterward.
The tralglu-elght engine was an
example. It fook public fancy and'

HAMMERS SOUND
TOLL OF WAR'S END
ROSYTH. Scotland. WP While
the world has celebrated another
armistice day, this British naval
base Ih writing the noisy final
chapter of tho World war on the
sea.
The last of the scuttled German
warships of Scapa Flow hns been
towed in, bottomside up, from i'S
parking placo on tho floor of tho
ocean.
Then years of barnacles havo
been scraped from tho hull, and
amid tho clang of sledgehammers
and the hissing of torches, this
once great Bhlp is being reduced
to junk.
' Oddly, perhaps significantly, this
final reduction of a proud fleet io
junk metal is being completed at
a time when statesmen are con
centrating is never before on the
problem of reduction of navies,
'End at a time" when evacuation of
tho Ithlneland is ringing down an
asbestos curtain on the vorld war
as waged upon the land.
When tho sailors of tho sur
rendered German fleet opened the
seacocks of their ships at Scapa
Flow Juno 21, 1919, they created
a problem ln salvage that taxed
to the utmost tho ingenuity of
modern engineers.
. Only three light cruisers and
somo smaller vessels were success
fully beached by British crews
"that day; the other scuttled war
ships went to the bottom. One
by one, however, they were pump
ed full of air and floated down
from tho Orkneys to tho dock
yards here.
Tho first to be brought to tho
surface was tho destroyer V-70. a
big ship of the 80 class which
had. sunk ln 20 fathoms, in the
center of the Flow, That left 28
destroyers. 10 battleships nnd five
battle cruisers still to be salvaged
a long job.
After five years of laborious op-prations-it
Is finished. Even the
28, 000-ton Hlndenburg, 700 feet
long,, the last word, in German
lyw&l construction nt tho time it
was surrendered, has been towed
Inand delivered to the junking
crews. .
