Flint Implements which because OF
the thickness Of the patina given to
them by exposure are estimated to be
at least 100000 years old and be-
lieved to proye that man existed at
that remote time In the valley OF the
: Nile. with sufficient intelligence. to
fashion stone into weapons, are being
shown in q collection OF more than
5000 Items excavated In Egypt by
Robert de RustafJaell Bey, says the
New York Herald. The .excayator. a
fellow of the Royal Geographical So
ciety, is at the exhibition.
Exposure to the elements fol, 1oO, 900
years leaves a patina on flint the depth

some OF the weapons shown, dating
back to the paleolithic and mesolithic
periods, is nearly half an inch thick.
These relics form the beginning Of a
display which has been arranged In
chronological order, showing the art
of Egypt down to the present day.
One OF the most interesting things is
aSfint weapon on which is the finger
print Of q man made In slime a quar-
ter Of q million years ago. The flint
was cast aside, and as there was no
rain the particles, of silica In the slime
hardened and made 'Bertillon" rec

There Is a flint hoe the age of which
: is estimated at 10000 years and a
stone dagger that was used 100000
years ago. A set of serrated tools
were used by prehistoric jewellers to
saw ornaments out of shells. Two per-
feet flint bracelets illustrate the high.

GEAR SHIFT BY WIRE"
Electric Change speed IL Regarded
as Great Improvement.

when II was announced that the
electromagnet was successfully applied
to shifting gears on the Haynes" says
T.. ". HeadingtJn, manager OF the
Haynes New York branch. the motoring
public were naturally quick to grasp its
advantages and before long the electric
gear shift was heralded as the greatest
automobile Improvement In recent years
"On the Haynes steering wheel there Is
n dial of push buttons called the 'selector'
switch. These buttons control the opera
ton of a set of electromagnetic. one for
each speed and one for reverse. To the
clutch pedal is connected a small mechani-
cal master switch which completes the
circuit 10 the battery for energizing the
electromagne;s.
To shift gears you select the desired
speed through the 'sei.ctor switch com
plete the circuit by depressing the clutch
pedal and the instant IL Is released the
gears are shifted so that there Is no pos
sibility Of stripping n gear or wrecking a
transmission.
after YOU understand the mechanical
construction OF the electric gear shifting
mechanism YOU marvel at its simplicity
and wonder why it was not perfected long
ago AS matter of fact engineers have
been working on this device for perlo I
of six years, before the Haynes company
finally decided to adopt It as standard
equipment

To see tho Buick plant at Flint prop

That is the impression got from putting

automobiles has heard that the Buick

having visited Flint---wh.ch Is worth
the two and n half hour trolley trip from

tircly new impression OF the Buick car

complishment In doing things on such a
scale. IL isn't that the Buick liz the Dig
gest builder OF cars in the country. Its
total OF $1,000 passenger cars for 1919
snt the greAtest by many cars. But It's
the factory and the organization that
dose Il which earns attention.
Flint is "a town Of $4,000 Inhabitants,
which owes most Of It's Importance to the
Buick. That concern employs 5000 men
and has a payroll of s406.646 month.
The floor spac. is ffty-eight acres. and
the entire grounds cover something like
100 acres. The output is 1876 motor cars
u day.
A visitor to the plant Is shown through
a labyrinth Of belts. machinery and men.
huge forge hammers. with men bare to the
vast, gear cutters. stock rooms and
warehouses. He sees the Buick in all
stages of deshabille.
The facts give the best idea OF the scale
on which the business is run: First.
there is the $4,000 900 a year paid TO
the great army of wage earners. II the
company puts out $50 cars day 1t
means $l7.250 that day. and every day,
for tires. approximately $5,175.O00 a year.
The motors for the same output cost

CROSS.HUDSON BRIDGE AND
TUNNEL GET NEW IMPETUS
Traffic Delays Are Gone

The matter Of bridge and vehicular tun-
mel connections between New York and
New Jersey has taken form Of late as a
serious and feasible plan. 1t must be con-
fessed that some years ago when the sug-
gestion first was made and the Legisla-
lures Of both States appointed commits
sions to consider plans II did look like
dream rather than possibility How
ever. since the Hudson has been tunnelled
for the railroad system the vehicular tun-
mel looks more like an actually.
There Is great need OF both the cross
Hudson bridge and tunnel. although their
construction will mean total expense Of
$50, 000, 900. An enormous amount OF goods
10 carried annually across the river by
ferrybo ats and In lighters subject to
manifold delays and needing to be trans
shipped by means OF several loadings in
the course OF being delivered. When there
y heavy rush Of traffic the ferryboats
quickly fill up and late comers are held
up. In bad weather the boats are subject
10 delay. Anyway, the tendency Is to cut
down service on the boats.
This Is where the motor vehicle user Is
Interested. The tunnel and the bridge will
mean q direct run from the point Of de-
parture to the destination. "A saving in
time and In handling. This also means
much to the consumer. because more ex-
peditious methods mean lower costs.
II Ia not alone to the business man that
the bridge and tunnel project Ia impor-
tant. The bridge will mean a reader ac-
cess to parts of New Jersey where living
n cheaper and will afford an outlet to a
crowded population, which every year
sees growing denser on Manhattan ISL
and. So, too. many Jerseymen will find II
easier to get into New York and will
more readily enter that attractive market
Both communities will beneht.
