REQ THE FIFTH

Those who are contemplating the purchase of an automobile would be doing themselves an injustice. if they failed to see the Reo cars before de- ciding. The car is designed by R. B. Olds, pioneer in building automo- biles He has designed A different models. In Reo the Fifth he has plac- ed his best efforts. The Reo has all ways been a popular car and irrespec- tive of the popularity of any car for a day or so the Reo always holds it's own The Bridgeport Auto Co.,, are the distributors and a demonstration will be given any time.
 This enterprising concern are also agents for Premier, tfThe Quality Car, 2 Americas greatest touring car. The Premier Car is looked upon as the almost perfect car. Premier cars are all six cylinder and made in all the popular models including Roadster. Limousine, De Luxe five and seven passenger touring cars, etc. A phone or card addressed Co the Bridgeport Auto Co. will enable you to get full information or arrange for denaonstra- tfon of these two popular made cars.

THE MADISON SQUARE
 TOWER IN SPAIN.

have kept the unique wonder of Seville waiting too long already for my recognition, though in its eight hun dred years it should have learned pa tience enough for worse things. From it's great antiquity alone, if from noth- ing else, it is plain that the Gira1da at Seville could not have been stud jed from the tower of the Madison Square Garden in New York, which the American will recall when he sees it. If the case must be reversed and we must allow that the Madison Square tower was studied from the Giralda, we must still recognize that it is no servi1e copy, but in it's frank imitation has a grace and beauty which achieves originality. Still, the Giralda Is always the Gira1da, and. though there had been no Saint Gau- dens to tip its summit with such hytng-footed nymph as poises on our own tower. the figure of Faith which crowns it is at least good weather vane, and from it's office of turning gives the mighty bell-tower it's name. Long centuries before the tower was a beifry it served the mosque, which the cath edral now replaces. as nina ret for the muezzin to call the faith full to prayer, but it was then only two thirds as high.-W. D. Howe1Is, 1n Harper's Magazine for June.

DIFFERENTIATION
 MEANS BIG LOSS
 TO AUT0M0BILISTS
Expert Tells of Injurious Effect
 of Too Little Pressure

One of the most convincing bits of evidence that motorists generally have awakened to a realization of the fact that imitation is decidedly important element in the general scheme of tire service in the present widespread use of the air pressure gauge
 In this request campaigns of educa- ton carried on by tire manufacturers are bearing fruit. Likewise experience has been a good, though perhaps ex- the bills has found out that if he ex- poets his tires to render their full measure of efficiency he must keep plenty of air in them.
 Beyond question under-inf1ation is the most pernicious abuse to which tires are subjected" says J. D. Ander- son, General Sales Manager of the United States Tire Company. Run ming tires so soft that they will not remain round under load pares the way for 8 large percentage of the i'm juries which decrease ci1eage and in crease tire maintenance expense.
 ''It should be understood that the sidewalks of 8 tire are it's thinnest part and that here most Of the bend ing action takes place when the wheel is turning. If the tire is not given enough air to keep it perfectly round the action of the rim the sidewalks becomes violent and in a short time the carcass is broken down.
 we recommend twenty pounds of air to the inch. A four inch tire should be inflated to 80 pounds, a five inch tire to 100 pounds and so on through the various sizes
 t'It Is absolutely impossible to tell whether a tire has sufficient air in 1t by any amount of feeling or kicking, and here is where many motorists make big mistake. A tire may ap- pear round and feel hard when as a matter of fact it has only half enough pressure on the inside.
 More air pressure gauges are be- ing used this season than ever before and car owners are certain to save vast amount of good money through this channel

A THERMOMETER THAT
 MEASURES A HUNDRED
 MILIIONTH OF A DEGREE

It is no matter for great surprise to be told that the different portions of the spectrum into which a beam of light is spread out show different de- grees of temperature when tested by an apparatus of sufficient delicacy. It appears, in point of fact, that the dark lines in the spectrum are also areas of relative coo1nesS, and that the spec trun are also areas of relative cool ness, and that the spectrum may be charted by moving a sufficiently deli cate heat-measurer along it. The in strument with which this feat of measuring inf1nitesimaI gradations of temperature is accomplished is known as a bolometer, and was invented by the late Professor Langley, of the Smithsonian Institution.
 The principle on which the bo1ome- any change of temperature in a meal changes the capacity of that metal as a conductor of electricity. By using an excessively tenuous hattened thread of platinum for his conductor, and an exquisitely sensitive galvanometer to register the effects, Langley produced an instrument which will respond to changes of temperature so slight in de- gree that no one could reasonably have supposed them measurable In- deed, the feafs accomplished by the little instrument are as incredible, not to say fantastic, as the feats of the spectroscope itself. A generation ago instruments for physical research had attained high stage of development; but to measure a change of tempera- ture of one-thousandth of a degree was considered a. remarkable feat The layman will be disposed to admit that it is a remarkable feat But the perfected Langley bolometer measures a change of ne-hundred-naiIliont of a degree. It is competent to deal with the fninitesimal quantities of heat that come to us from such bod ies as the moon and the brighter stars. pr Henry Smith Williams, in liar per's Magazine for June

CLIMATE MORE DREADED
 THAN THE GUILLOT1NE E

Cayenne-red pepper to the world at large, hell to the few thousands of convicts transported to this isolated, northeastern corner of equatorial South America. Here, it was runor- ed, existed one of the worlds most an- tiQuated and .revolting penal systems, where thousands of men are not only transported for years. but exiled and doomed to a living death. Men from French Guiana had intinated condt- tions which vied with crueltles or the old convict ships.
 Groups of convicts lounged about or lay sick and incapacitated on the vetandas At night the barred iron door of each dornitory is locked, and outside paces guard, revolver in hand. Sometimes under cover of darkness the inmates settle feuds. Oc- casionalIy, to establish leaders, rival gangs fight with cudgels, knives, and even paving stones. Some disabled, others dead, the most indomitable are reconsiled and form a tyrannical secret society. Many a poor wretch dreads the night hours, and one suspected of enraged pack. Occasionally murder is committed, in profound silence, and daylight finds a dead or dying con vict in the passageway or entrance. Questioning is useless; and few guards will risk life in entering the barracks when smothered cries and cursings warn them of internal strife.
 All the men I talked with were, well disposed toward me, one in particular "a tall, we'll educated man with a pair of dark-rimmed glasses and large eyes fearfully strained through inability to secure proper lenses.
 You must not lose hope,' I told a group af relegues, and almost swal- lowed my own words. f''Hope!" burst out the rich, tremu1ous voice of the tall man. "It is always the same; there is no hope here." ''No, no hope here!" was the echoed murmur of his com Wellington Furlong in Harper's Magazine for June.

GOOD SHOWING OF
 WHITE TRUCKS IN
 ECONOMY CONTEST
Government Officials Observe Rigorous Try-Out of Heavy
 Vehicles

Final scores in the Washington mo- tor truck reliab bi1ity and economy con test, which was held last week under the observation and indorsement of government officials composing the United States General Supply Com nittee, show that the three White trucks that were entered made a clean sweep in their classes and established the most remarkable economy record ever made in an official test.
 In four days of running, the contes- tants covered 228 miles including a number Of stiff hills crossing noun tains between Washington and Hagers- town Md. One of the hills proved too much for nine of the trucks and they were assisted to the top. Over most of the route the government officers rode on the trucks, but in order to observe their work on the worst hills, the officials went ahead in touring cars and alighted to await and watch the trucks.
 The contest was divided into eight classes according to load capacity but the greatest interest cenrered in the 150O and 5000 pound classes in which three-fourths of the competing trucks were entered. In the remaining class es there was little or no competition. White trucks won the 1,5Oo pound class the 5000 pound class and the United States Army ambulance divi- sion. The 1,500 pound White used only 22 1-s gallons of gasoline on the en- tire trip less than any othe truck in the contest, while the 5000 pound White used 27 gallons, making a per- feet score and carrying it's rated load at a lower cost per ton-m1le than any other perfect score truck in the con test. Only one truck, the White, made 2. perfect score in the ambulance divi- sion

HOW OLD IS THE EARTH?

Holmes has just been added by liar per & Brothers to Harper's Library of Living Thought. It traces the his- tory of the earth's time problem from the primitive creation myths, through Bishop Ussher's famous chronology, the views of LyelI, Darwin, Lord Kelvin, etc, down to the latest spec ulations. The author points out the wide discrepancies between the re- suits deduced from the various meth ods of computing tine-by geology, astronomy, the thermal energy of the sun, etc.-and seeks to mitigate them by discussing the possibility and con sequences of reconciliation. Diagrams, an index and bibliography of the sub ject give additional value to the vol

STATE ROAD WORK DONE WITH SELF
 DUMPING TRUCKS
Pennsylvania Highway Depart ment Makes Use of Auto
 matic Equipment

As an evidence Of the increasing popularity Of motor trucks with pow CT dumping bodies for contracting work the Pennsylvania State High way department has purchased from the American Locomobile Company two Alec trucks to be employed in road building activities in the State
 Both vehicles are of five tons rat ing and are fitted with a type of body for hauling heavy materials sOGch as rock, gravel crushed stone and sand. The body raises or lowers by the pow CT of the motor, has maximum angle of 45 degrees, and deposits a, full load of material in thirty seconds. A hand windfass is also provided in the event that a slower speed is desired.
 Another feature of the trucks is the type of tailboard which opens au- tomatically with the lifting of the body and is so constructed that the material carried may be spread over the road the truck travels forward.
 The entire operation Of the hoisting mechanism is controlled from the drivers seat, lever being conven- iently located for the purpose. The dumping mechanism does not bear any weight of the load and there is no wear and tear upon IL while the truck is on the road.
 ''Contractors, coal dealers and others who demand speed in unloading and loading have come to realize that the more of it's time a motor truck is ac- tuaIIy on the road the more money it saves says c. A. Benjamin, the Alec general sales manager. The business radius is corresponding1y wider and greater mileage is possible for the truck That is what has led engi- neers to devise method of eliminat- ing idle minutes."
