pared FOR the l45-mlle trip across the

Journey will be made without scheduled
stops as there are no towns or villages
on the route. Every man will carry lunch
IN his car. and about noon stop will be
made IN the shade, II such a thing can be
found.
Kearney's Ranch has been one OF the
goals OF the tourists since starting the
trip. as II is said that one has not en-
joyed the pleasures OF eating until after
having stopped there.
The stay In this city has been pleas
ant one for the members OF the party.
For the FIRST time since the start OF the
tour. the men were allowed 10 rest with
out restriction after their arrival this
afternoon. They heard the great pipe
organ I'm the Tabernacle and later noated

and then attended Il dance.

Wizard of Auto Industry Talks
of the Future.
SPECIAL HIGHWAYS NEEDED
Detroit Man Looks Forward to
Motor Vehicle Lighter than
To- days Types.

What do you think the evolution OF the
motor car ultimately will produce?"
Henry Ford, seated in his great, light
flooded room at the Highland Park plant.
turned inquirlng blue eyes on the ques-
toner and smiled slightly, says THE De-
troit Journal"
Tell me your idea; what do you
mean?" he replied.
The clumsy two-wheeled cart Of the
worlds youth evolved into the luxurious
landau: the Montgolfier balloon. lifted by
hot air, developed into the Curtis biplane.
In what way will the motor car OF the
future differ from the first Ford motor
car in which you recently rode with John
Burroughs"
Mr.. Ford looked out OF the window
toward the sunset. His face, bronzed by
country life, was tinged by the ruddy
glow. He passed a hand over his iron
gray hair and his eyes took on con-
templatiye look. Again that suspicion OF
a tolerant smile lowered at the corners
OF his mouth.
II seemed 10 say that the man who had
made 100000 dividend possible, re-
creating sinbad's diamond valley out OF
his mechanician's brain. was thinking OF
the painful early path. 1t suggested that
eagle flights OF 200 or 300 years do not be-
long TO the inventor. but tollsome days
and wakeful nights with infnitesimal
progress.
"Lghtness is what we are striving for
more than any other thing" he said.
1T will not be long before the present
!, ,3O0-pound motor car will be reduced in
weight TO 900 pounds. This will mean
greater speed and a somewhat lower
price. But the price cannot be greatly
decreased because lighter material de-
mands greater strength and craftsman

Although l am not 8 speed enthusiast,
my aim being to increase comfort,
see no reason why motor cars should not
eventually attain $50 or 200 miles an hour
But there would be no room for pedes-
trians on streets used by such machines
They would require special highways. In
fact. rails would probably be the proper
thing lust as we have rails now for our

No Fixed Rule Can Be Applied
to This Important Feature
of Adjustment.

An interesting lecture was attended oy
many automobilists on Wednesday even
ing at the Stewart Automobile Academy.
William II. Stewart. jr., the chief speaker
Of the evening said in part:
In the four-part cycle motor there are
two valves, the inlet and exhaust. The
first admits the charge OF gas TO the
cylinder: the second permits the dis
charge OF the burned gases. In the mod
ern motor both are mechanically oper-
ated and timed TO open and close at the
proper instant Both these valves Work
under spring tension and are operated by
cams upon a shaft.
Since the crank shaft in the four-part
cycle motor makes two revolutions 10
each cycle. It is necessary that the cam
shaft operating the valves turn at hal;
time This is accomplished through the
reducing ar. In other words. the cam
shaft gear has twice as many teeth as me
crank shaft gear which drives IT.
"As to timing the valves OF the motor

Assaults on JUDGES.

The apples thrown at Lord S2lve-
son at the conclusion of the suffra-
gettes' trial at Glasgow remind the
London Chronicle that an assault
upon a judge gave rise to one of the
choicest extant specimens Of law
French After prisoner had been
condemned for felony before Chief
Justice Richardson at Salisbury sum
mer assizes, 1881, he, according to the
black letter report, "ject I'm brickbat
a le justice que narrowly mist" For
this an indictment was at once drawn
against the prisoner and his right
hand was cut off and fixed to the
gibbet, upon which he was also i'm
mediatement hange in the presence of
the court"
That there is a light side even to
such a serious subject as assaults
upon judges is seen in the incident OF
the egg thrown at the late Vice Chan
cellor Malens by a disappointed liti-
CANT. The judge cleverly avoided the
missile, and at the same time estab
lished an undying reputation as a
humorist by remarking that the egg
must have been intended as a present
for his brother Bacon, V. c., who was
sitting in an adjoining court

ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES I'M.
PoRTANT DECISION ON EU-/

MUST MAKE LAW PRACTICAL
Says Is Physicians Will Help, New
Law Will Be. Great Success
Deficiencies Can Be Remedied.

MadisOn.-That a practical interpre-
tation of the eugenic law, passed by
the last legislature, requires a physi-
clan to make only such an examina-
ton of male applicant for marriage

his general practice, is the opinion OF
Attorney General Owen TO DR.. {. A.
Harper, state health officer.
He says that the law does not in
tend that the Wasserman test be
made, but only suggested an examin-
alton as could be made for SO by the
physician with an ordinary service.
This Interpretation of the law is ex-
pected to free it of many Of the
suggested pitfalls.
Summarizing my conclusion" says
Attorney General Owen, 81 am of the
. opinion that the law must be given
a practical and workable construction
rather than one that will defeat it's
purpose and render its purpose I'M
constitutional and void
eff the physicians of the state will
accept the law in this spirit and en-
deayor to comply with its provisions, |
have no doubt but that it will prove
what it was intended TO be, step in
the right direction and that the eX-
perience gained under its operation
during the next year will enable the

ficiencies that may be found to exist
in the law as it now stands"
