Although heavy inspiring weight
may give higher impact than lighter
inspiring weight, It cannot be said
that this is the major controlling
factor.
The relative destructive effect pro-
duced by lightweight, 'high-speed
trucks and heavy, slow-movipg trucks
has not been determined by these tests.
They do, however. indicate that equal
impact may be obtained under some
conditions.
Impact may be as high as seven
times the static load on one rear wheel
when solid-tire truck strikes l.
inch obstruction at 16 miles per hour,
an average value being about four
times. For pneumatic tires the maxi
mum impact value is probably not
more than one and three-fourths times
the load at one rear wheel, and an
average value is not more than one
and one-fourth times the load.

INDIAN MYTHS
The Gift of Indian Corn
(Chippewa


In the, far back days. before the
white men lived upon this side of the
earth, young Indian lad stood at
the door of his fathers tepee and
gazed out over the far-waving
prairie grass.
He was thinking of the morrow
when he would begin his fast; for
this was the custom among the
Indians. When a youth reached a
given age he went away by himself,
and for seven days he ate no food,
but spent the time in prayer to the
Great Spirit that his part in life
might be made clear to him, and
that 1t might prove a worthy one.
Now Wunzh, who stood in the
tepee door, was an unusually
thoughtful lad, for his father had so
taught him; and he was filled with
I Oh and with grave thoughts as he
looked across the waving grass.
Beyond his sight, in a thicket, he
knew that, his father and younger
brother were clearing the ground
and raising the little tepee wherein
he would spend the days OF his fast
ing.
Wunsh knew full we'll what his
prayer to the Great Spirit would be.
but how would It be answered? He
tllough Of this long and often.
As he had run about the prairie
or made his way thru the forests
when q little lad, he had wondered
how 1t was that the grass and the
trees sprang up out 81 the dark
earth. He had wondered why some
OF the flowers smelled sweet While
others were oifensiye: why some 81
the roots were rood fof !heaiinr

fell as he did SO, for he said HE
was my friend"
When Wunzh returned to the
tepee of his father he was received
with great rejoicing, and given food
His new clothing was looked upon N
wonder, but he did not tell its story.
Day by day he went to the little
SPOT of ground where his own little
tepee had been and he kept the
earth soft and moist and free from
weeds.
And after many days had gone by,
green plumes came up thru the earth
and they grew, and became sturdy
stalks.
And still they grew and aftAf
many days ana weeks the broad
green leaves held ears Of juicy grain.
Day by bay the ears grew full and
the grain ripened; the green plumes
at their ends turned to yellow and
then to brown, and the ground was
covered with the many stalks.
Then Wunzh said to his father,
Come with me. / have something
to show you.' And his father went
with him, and he showed him thea
clearing where his tepee had stood
And 1t was all a field OF green and
yellow, like the clothing which
Wunzh had worn, when he came 9
from his fast.
Then he told his father OF lthe 2
strangers visit and of his dream
and Of his overcoming the youth.
"And now. my father he added,
"the Great Spirit has answeredg1hJ
prayer. From this time ON life will
be less hard for the Indian, for he
shall have other food than game
and fish. The Great Spirit has
caused this grain to grow and 1t y
good for man, to eat. Taste It, my
father and see."

side the door of his tepee strong
bright youth, clad all in shimmering
green's and golden yellows, and
wearing upon his head plume OF
waving green.
Come" cried the youth, "let us
wrestle. and see who shall over
come"
Then Wunzh sprang from his bed,
for tho his body was weak, his spirit
was strong and he grappled with the
youth and they wrestled together.
At length the YOUTH said, THAT
will do for today. You have >wrestled
we'll, thou neither Of us has over
come. will return tomorrow.
And, no sooner had he finished
speaking than he vanished from the
sight OF Wunzh, who dropped ex-
hausted upon his bed.
The next day, at exactly the same
hour, the youth came again, and so
suddenly that it seemed to Wunzh he
must have dropped from the sky.
Wunzh had less strength in his
body than the previous day, but he
felt sure the stranger had been sent
by the Great Spirit, and SO he Crap
pied with him again and wrestled
well.
But as Wunzh's strength was
nearly gone, the young man said
once more, "That will do for today.
Tomorrow will return. IT'S the
last day Of your fast. Be ready"
Again the stranger disappeared
and Wunzh, trembling with weak
ness of body, prayed the Great Spirit
that he might yet overcome. And
as he prayed he fell asleep.
Then, as Wunzh slept, he
dreamed. And it seemed to him that
he again wrestled with the strange
youth, and he overcame and threw
Fin to the ground. And . voice
spoke to him and said strip OF the
clothing Of the youth and wear It for
your own. Bury his body, and pro-
tect the spot where he is buried.
Make the earth soft and mellow:
Keep It clear Of weeds: and water It
day by day. DO Ill this. and your
prayer to the Great Spirit shall be
answered"
Wunsh- slept long, but when he
awakened he remembered his dream
and the words hat had been spoken.
That morning his father came to
the tepee to offer food, but Wunzh
said. Let me alone until the even
Ing" So hts father went away.
!. At the same hour on this day the
stranger once more appeared outside
the door of the tepee. and once more
Wunzh went forth to wrestle. He
was weaker than before, but his
dream had given him such courage
that he grasped the strange youth
and with a supreme effort threm him
PROSTATE upon the earth.
II have overcome cried Wunzh,
for the youth lay dead at his feet.
Then Wunzh stripped OF his cloth
fng as he had been told in his dream
and he dressed himself in the gar
ments of green and yellow and he
placed the plume OF green upon his
head.
Then, kneeling, he tenderly buried
the body Of the youth, and his tears
