Capt. Parker Of that organization

The federation was largely re-

for the bin authorizing an addition

personnel mp TO approximately 90
men and so Indian motorcycles. The
federation is keenly interested in the
progress which IS being made TO save
the farmers from a loss which to-
tailed thousands of dollars annually.
The state police were put I'm the
field too late last year 10 curb effec-
lively the theft OF farm products,
especially by automobile parties. but
this year all the men on the force are
on the Lookout for just such depreda-
tons. AS the thefts are committed
largely at night in the height of the
season the state police will patrol the
roads during the night as well as in
the daytime.

OF time. and the answer viii be cor
rect 20 six figures.
The slide rule has revolutionized
the sciences as a labor-saving de
gice. Prof. Jacobson's machipe bids
fair 10 rival the slide rule because il
is exactly 40 times more accurate
and is provided with a factor board,
where over 5000 factors in all sorts
Of computations are printed in plain
view of the operator OF the machine.
The machine is constructed on
welI-esta blished mathematical prin-
ciples which are the same as those
of the slide rule. The logarithmic
distance from one to 10 is divided
up on a scale 10 inches long on the
ordinary slide rule, while this same
logarithmic distance is spread over
a scale 32S feet long on Prof Jacob
cons machine. II would. of course,
be impossible TO construct or oper-
ate a sliding rule 32S feet long. The
new invention. therefore, consists in
ruling two spiral bands Of that
length. stretching around two NOV
able drums or cylinders. placed on
shafts which can be turned together
by means OF gear wheels. and a mi
crOmeter thumbscrew for close adj
justment.
Scale Serves as Slide.
The calibrated spiral scale on
one drum serves as the slide and
the scale on the other as the co-or-
dinated rule. Any given point on
one Of the spiral scales may be
brought into coincidence with any
other point on the opposite scale by
means of a cellulOid- headed duplex
pointer. moving in a channeled bar
or guideway located equidistant be-

BUILT BETTER
than Cars that Cost More

\ CAREFUL analysis of the construc-
a ton and complete equipment of the
Light-Six will convince you that it has no
duplicate in value in the light car class
For instance. the machining of the crank
shaft and connecting rods on all surfaces is
manufacturing practice that is found only
on costlier cars.
This particular operation is mainly respon-
sible for the fine balance of the Light-Six
motor and It's remarkable freedom from VI
bration at all speeds 1t also has an impor-
tant bearing on the wearing quality of the
car and on It's long-ived dependable service.
The exceptional values in the Light-Six are
possible because practically every part that
goes into the car is manufactured complete
in the most modern plant in the world Parts
makers profits are practically eliminated.
Important savings through better methods
and bigger volume permit greater value to
the buyer.
From the standpoint of shrewd investment
you should find out why the Light-Six offers
you so much more for your money In per-
Torrance, service and economy.

Accordingly. copies OF a letter to
him from Maj. Sidney w. Brew
ster. judge advocate of the New

war record. have been sent out in
an effort to clear his name.
Major Brewster's letter says:
II have seen several articles in
the daily papers recently to the
effect that you betrayed your cOun.

that you turned States evidence in
the exposition of the graft and

which is evidenced by the fact OF
your discharge showing character
very good, and no objection to re.

charged for bad conduct, or by the
Court Martial. the fact would have
been entered upon your discharge
papers in accordance with the
naval regulations. Your service
record was in my custody until
several weeks before your discharge,
and that contained no record of
misconduct, of any character,
against you.
The testimony which you gave be-
fore the General Court Martial at
the Navy Yard, New York, in the
case Of DR.. Benjamin Davis, leuten.
ant Medical Corps, which trial re-
suited in the conviction of DIR. Davis
and the ultimate exposure of the
bribery ring, was of great benefit to
the government. as all the testimony
on the count to which you testified
was by accomplices or interested
parties, except your own. You did
not turn States evidence in this
trial. Your testimony was entirely
disinterested. and at no time did you
benefit, or expect to benefit. in the
matters connected with the trial.
Instead Of criticism In connection
with your appearance as witness in
this case, you should be commended
for the stand you took in turning
over the evidence you had to the
