devious thought engaged his fancy,
and he acted on it promptly.
Ready to his hand rested the
mouthpiece Of a flexible speaking
tube, ending in a fixed earpiece
close by the chauffeur's head.

Hastily Peter dragged his over
coat across the bosom of his shirt
and crowded himself into the cor

Bearing out his premonition,
Craven stopped to speak to the
chauffeur-and the eavesdropper
cursed bitterly to hear no more
than the confused grumble Of their
voices.
Then without the least warning
the car shot away at round pace

AUTO "SMASHERS'
HAVE NO EASY TASK
Drive Cars Over Rough Roads and
Jump Railroad Tracks in Order
to Find Defects.

Several automobile factories employ
men whose duty il is to wreck cars
They do not smash machines against
through grueling tests for the purpose OF
finding defects. The ''smashers'' are
known as automobile testers" and their
job is not an easy one. They have to
pound cars over rough roads. through
sand or snow, jump them over railroad
tracks. and do other seemingly foolhardy
stunts. Bad roads are a perfect pleasure
to the testers.
A tester in the employ of the Simplex
Automobile Company made these COM
ments on the work OF testers:
1T is a delight when We can bring a
car we are testing back to the factory
with some OF it broken. 1t is not an easy
matter to find defects in the mechanism
Of a car nowadays, because of the thor
ough testing done in the factory. The
tester is relied on to find faults in con-
struction. material. adjustment and gen.
eraI workmanship. and in order to find
these faults nothing short of circus stunts
over the worse kind of roads have to be
performed.
"A stretch Of sand, sharp hill, or an
extremely muddy roads are the things
the tester delights in. a stretch of deep
sand is particularly desirable. because it
affords an opportunity for a severe test
The car can be run half way through it
and then stopped. The tester then puts
the car in first speed and tries to pull IT
out of the sand. AS there is little traction
in the shifting sand, difficulties are apt
to be encountered. II a car doesn't heat
up under this condition 1t is not likely t.
heat up at any time"
