It should be noted that all bats endowed with the
sixth sense very small, and consequently move
their wings very rapidly, while the large bats
with slowly moving wings, which live exclusively
on fruit never have the sixth sense, and always
have large eyes. An example of the latter is the

posed an apparatus for ships that would send out
vibrations and record the echoes" caused by
them II they struck against any hard object-an
iceberg, for example 1t was his Idea that the
n6pitesmal amount OF energy employed by the
bat should be increased to two or three hundred
horsepower-that is, waves with an amplitude and
energy at least 100000 times that of the bat
should be sent out.
These vibrations, he explained, although Of
creat energy, would not be audible to human ears,
but would travel at least twenty miles, SO that
they could be received and recorded by suitable
apparatus at that distance, and would be able
to travel at least fve miles and send back to the
ship reflected echo from another ship or an Ice
berg that would be strong enough to be detected.
Such an echo properly received and recorded,

cognizance OF the sixth sense Of the bat have been
experimenting along the same lines with q view
to devising Instruments which you'd record for
airmen sounds they approached objects and
thus safeguard them against collisions.

Urges That Burbank's s Wonderful Creations
 Be Saved to the World

Santa Rosa, Cal-Pardon me good friends of Santa Rosa and Sebastopol, but did you read the story by Luther Burbank. himself, in the June 30th edf- tion of his personal friends paper, the Dearborn Independents, published by Henry Ford? asks Julius Myron Alex ander in a local paper. It should be written into little booked and mailed to every resident of Sonoma county. It is a story of pathos, story of life work, the toiling to an age when Time shall stay off physical strength Thou sands of dollars are being expended for a Burbank "Memorial Park :; hun. dreds of dollars are being used for me da1lions and ribbons and flags for cele- bratiOns in honor of an esteemed and beloved man. Back there is another story-the story of the seeming ultI= mate end of the life work Of one of the greatest men the world has ever pro- duced. Luther Burbank has given the
 
 least few might know bis real sorrow of heart. That little 16-acre tract 0i land out near Sebastopol-more Valu- able for the generations to come than all the gold mines of Alaska. Every foot a treasure foot, and every nook and corner teeming with treasure. It is the soil and the land of the Burbank Creations" :" Bus few months ago three acres of this land of wealth was sold to q cemetery association, and he says, IA man now wants to buy three acres more of the Sebastopol farm for chicked ranch. ' MT. Burbank is sell ing it because of his declining physical strength, and so must sell 1t all. So we of this great age of progress and development stand idly by and watch the holocaust of destruction. A burial plot for those who have pa sed away An acreage for the growing of chick ems! What might be said And Mr. Burbank says:
 'The thirteen acres of land at Sebas- topol would be worth to the world d billion dollars an acre if all the new creations upon this land were intro duced to the world and put to use.o He says that upon this land are thousands of new creations of plant, fruit and tree life. These to be destroyed for the raising of chickens! Mir. Burbank says "When 1 am tired l sometimes feel that if the world does not care if the best varieties of plant lie the earth has ever produced go to the waste, I don't care either" He also says: 'T. have developed timber trees that will produce hardwood lumber ten times as rapidly as it could be pro duced before, created new flowers, and added size and fragrance to those al- ready in existence. Oh, little plot of land, of treasured wealth, to be de- stroyed because nobody cares! What of our people, of our county, of our State? Relics of the past we save by appropriation, but we neglect the liV- ing growing wealth for the future We all know that it would make MT. Bur bank so very happy if we might but save his creations.

BY THEODORE p. MOVES.

The advent of 1924 models of the
| market finds the public more than
ever interested in the automobile and
what it means in transportation. This
feeling is intensified by several de-
veIopments.
First, there is the sudden fair for
four-wheel brakes, an adaptation
from a long-used European custom.
Columns of pro and con matter have
been published in newspapers. This
has done much to arouse public in
terest.
Second. is the development of the
so-called balloon" tire, which has
been heralded as "the tire advance
of the age" and step forward that
would revolutionize the tire in
dustry of the world"
Reduced Prices.
The next thing which has probably
aroused great deal of hitherto un-
obtainable interest is the moderate
price of several well known makes Of
closed cars and the desire generally
on the part Of the manufacturer to
make his vehicle an all-year-round
comfort can be obtained.
And last but not least by any
means is the general tendency to
meet competition and reduce prices
on all cars to the minimum. This
feature alone probably has it's ap-
peal to the largest class of motorists
and near-motoristS.
Whether the first two will be per-
manent improvements remains to be
seen. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that both balloon tires and
four-wheel brakes are here to stay.
The proponents say that the new
tires make for easier riding; the op-
ponents claim harder steering. Those
advocating four-wheel brakes say
they give the maximum of safety.
those against argue that two-wheel
brakes are enough, that four-wheeI
brakes need continual adjustment
and that the front wheels may lock
and upset the car.
Despite these improvements and
many others in body and engine of
various cars, manufacturers seem
loath to use the same initiative in the
development of tops and side-cur-
tains on open models. Consequently
the public will be interested in an an
nouncement by Hupmobile Company
of radical changes in the side-cur-
tain arrangement Of the open cars.

might almost believe that reckless

thus indirectly an element of safety.
Like the speeder. the party who be-

with defense. He thinks it stops

stopping is his speciality.
Reckless Steering Encouraged.
I What really happens is that reclx-
less stopping. encourages reckless
! steering. Seeing that he must do
something to avoid a collision the
! man behind relies on his steering
wheel with results that are best un-
derstood by referring to the news
columns Of any newspaper.
1t Is not generally recognized that
IL the man ahead elects TO stop his
car In the minimum distance of which
brakes are capable the man behind
must either steer out of the way or
collide. Whether the man ahead sig
mails with his automatic signaling de-
vice, holds out his hand or relies upon
the ability Of those following him to
man behind does not catch the
thought of stopping until he has trav-
eled number of feet. In the mean
time the man ahead has been busy
stopping. In fact, he was in the act
of stopping before the idea of stop
ping passed to the man behind.
This thought process serves to con-
sumo the margin of safety which has
existed between the two cars. If, in
addition, the man behind is slow in
acting. or has less effective brakes. he
is forced to look to a means of escape.
His brakes will not solve his problem.
II Collision Must Come.
Under these conditions he is fire.
quently forced to attempt the impos-
Slble. The idea that running square,
ly into an object should be the last
resort invariably tempts all drivers to
swerve toNoue side or the othera They
do not appreciate the fact that
clean collision would do. far less dam
age than tipping fender or wheel,
which is likely to result in an upset.
The consequences of reckless stop
ming are, therefore, more serious for
the innocent than for the offender.
which best explains the need for an
educational program to instruct, all
drivers In the art Of using their
brakes moderately instead Of abusing
them.
II there is no Improvement in meth
DDS of stopping. motordom may look
forward to most undesirable restric-
tions.
1t would be a most unfortunate
condition if with the development of
brakes on all four wheels it would be
necessary to limit the use of them
through mechanical means as en-
forced by law.
Quick stopping, like speed and ac-
celeration, have their legitimate use:
and motoring would be tremendously
handicapped without them. But un-
less there is more evidence of de-
termination to cease abusing the stop
ping advantages such handicaps will
doubtless come to pass.
