MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON", FRIDAY, JULY 29, 1932. P5GE SEVEN TESTS QUALITIES OF CARPET MATERIAL WASHINGTON (AP) The years of countless steps that gradually wear out carpets are crowded Into a single day by a machine developed at the U. S. Bureau of Standards. It will wear out a sample of carpet completely In a few hours Instead of a generation by producing at high speed exactly the same stresses and strains on the fibers that result from years of walking, scraping and scuf fling. A machine that takes so many t "steps" In so short a time will be userul in showing how and why vari ous kinds of carpet materials wear out, and how they can be better built to resist wear, it Is reported by H P. Schlefer and A. S. Best, scientists of the bureau. The new device does not actually put on a pair of shoes and walk rapidly ever the carpet until it is worn out, but It has exactly that ef fect on the carpet, they explain. When a person walks over a caryet the soles of his shoes bend the fibers of the "pile" forward and backward, push them slightly sideways. The carpet-testing machine does the same thing. It speeds up this wear by subjecting the carpet to continuous "walking." A circular piece of the carpet to t be tested is tacked to a round turn table. Two wheels with sole leather "tires" rest on the surface of the carpet. The turntable is pressed against the wheels with about ISO pounds pressure, the weight of an average man. One wheel Is turned by a motor. In I turn causing the turntable and Its carpet sample to revolve, he revolv ing of thjO turntable causes the other wheel to turn in the opposite direc tion. By the action of the wheels the carpet fibers are bent both for ward and backward A vacuum cleaner sucks away the material worn off from the carpet so It will not interfere with the test. The air It draws over the carpet's surface serves also to keep it approxi mately at room temperature. To measure how much a carpet ti worn by the testing machine, the experimenters designed a sensitive gauge to measure thickness. THIEVES STRIP CAR IN CENT. PI. GARAGE Thieves entered the garage of Henry Head In the Central Point district last night and stripped his sedan of five new tires, all the light globes, and drained the gasoline tank.

(AP) Demanding to know "when the president adopted the policy of using the army to drive lobbyists , from the capitol," Congressman I Wright Patman (D., Tex.) leader of the fight for the cash bonus pay ment In congress, suggested today that President Hoover use the troops to drive "the International banking lobbyists" from Washington. "I cannot understand why the army 'was used to drive the men from Washington w.ho were not in govern ment buildings, but In homes they had built with their own hands," Bald Patman. "It Is true they are lobbyists, not oniy for veterans' legislation but for unemployment relief for all the people." WASHINGTON, July 29. (AP) 1 One of the most dramatic sidelights of the army's drive on the B. E. F. last night centered around Major George b. Patton of the cavalry, who was compelled by duty to rout from Camp Marks a man who once saved his life on a battlefield In France some 14 years ago. During the war, Major Patton held the rank of colonel in charge of light tanks. His aide was a youth from Camden, N. J., named Joe Angelo. One night seven men, including Major Patton and Angelo, were out on a patrol when a shell struk nearby. The officer was badly wounded, but Angelo dragged him into a shell hole and stayed with ihlm all night. Angelo was one of those who fled from Camp Marks last night before the advance of Major Patton's cavalry. .TOO LATE 10 CLASSIFY FOR SALE Good used ptano. 155. Baldwin Piano Shoppe. 26 N, Grape.
