recall. Thus to US it takes on an
added glamor from the fact that it
has not long to last. For the proc
ess that brought it to its present
pass must go on to the bitter end,
until the last spark of Marian life
goes out. The drying up Of the
planet is certain to proceed until its
surface can support no life at all.
Slowly but surely time will snuff it
out. When the last ember is ex-
tinguished the planet will FOIL a
dead world through space, its evolu-
tionary career forever ended"
The original discoveries OF the
long, regular, straight lines on Mars
were made in 1877 by the astrono-
mer Schiaparelli, and the study Of
these markings taken up by Prot.
Lowell, who, after years of observa-
ton of them at his Arizona observa-
tory, declared in his book. MARS
as the Abode of Life" (Macmillan),
there is nothing in the sky so pro-
foundry impressive as those canals
of Mars" He declares that they
are absolutely straight, and some
are $50 miles long, and one, named
the "Eumenides-Orcus," runs $3.50
miles. As Mars is only 4,220 miles
through, a canal $3.50 miles long
curves in its own plane, and thus
may be likened to a straight line
running from London, England, to
Denver, Colo, or from Boston,
Mass, to Bering strait. Studying
the biannual quickening and darken-
ing of the lines or canals, Prof.
Lowell reached the point where he
declared the canals were filled with
water from the melting polar SHOWS.

Assuming the Martians, as Prof.
Lowell did. to be more intelligent
than the people Of the earth, they
would at once recognize regular and

it is hoped, by astronomers, that
Mars will, with return flashes, like

If such flashes do come, they will

and axles could be made of wood.
While the plywood idea is new and
no doubt will be taken up, the use
of wood for frames and axles is far
from new. The single cylinder
Brush runabout used wooden axle.
Franklin even now continues to use
a wooden frame. The point is that
car manufacturers in the past have
been adhering too closely to con-
vention instead of carrying the light
weight idea to some logical end.
Especially have axles been neglect
ed and weight reduction here is .
most important matter. AT the
present time, there are some ex-
tremely good cars on the market
good in every respect except that
they "eat" tires and gasoline. This
is due to the carrying around OF
too much dead" weight (weight
which is useless). The hard riding
which many cars exhibit with much
so-called rebound is due in greater
measure to the heavy rear axle and
the lack of appreciation by the en-
gineer of the proper ratio needed
between the sprung weight and the
inspiring weight (weight below the
springs.
Better Hill Climber,
There is another very important
result which light weight brings
about. We all know that it re-
quires more effort to move 4 heavy
mass than it does to move light
one. The lighter mass (the light
weight cary will then accelerate bet
ter, it will climb hills better, it will
show a higher maximum speed on
the road. These are truths which
every engineer and many light-car
owners appreciate.
The serious consideration OF de-
sign toward a reduction in weight.
the use of lighter materials will un.
questionably bring the weight OF
the average touring car OF the fu-
ture down some 500 pounds. In the
larger, more expensive cars the
weight reduction may be greater
than 1000 pounds. Even our So
called lightweight cars of today will
/ be far lighter.

corning Mars, with which Prof.
Todd desires to make the first seri-
Gus effort ever made from the earth
to communicate with a planet, and
to do which he will reach a point
above the earth farther than man
has gone UP to this time.
Based entirely on the facts he
says he learned as the result of
many years study of Mars, Prof.
Lowell gives a picture of life as it
