Among the engineering develop
ments of the past year or two one
Of the most significant is the arrival
OF the eight-cylinder engine with the
cylinders in line The first Ameri-
can eight-in-line was the Duesenberg,
which the makers call a straight
eight" The mettle of this type of
engine may be judged from the
historic fact that two years ago an
American Duesenberg, driven by an
American pilot, won the French
Grand Prix, showing its muffler to
the cream of the foreign racing cars.
At the moment the Duesenberg is
the sole eight-in-line engine being

Of the car thus made shorter.
The servicing cost Of a vertical
eight ought to be less than that of
a v eight, because the vertical type
is more accessible all around For
simplicity, perfection Of balance and
accessibility do not believe the YER
tical eight can excel the six, or even
equal It, but then the vertical eight
Is coming into use, primarily because
of it's superior performance and high
power and torque. It should be con-
sidered an improved eight-cylinder
type and do not believe it ever will
catch up with the development Of
the six.

Mrs. Gregory Hostess At Bridge For Mrs.
 Edmondson

1 When guests to fill four bridge tables arrived Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Robert Gregory and were welcomed at the door by their charming, smiling hostess, as fresh and pink as peony, even the wisest of them would never have guessed that an hour before this same hostess was fidgeting around everywhere at once, from kitchen to telephone, from living room to cellar, her hair wind blown and beads of precipitation standing on her face.
 But Mrs. Gregory had planned a bridge party for Mrs. E. L. Edmond son, popular visitor in the city, and even Monday without a cook wasn't going to keep her from consummat- ing her plans.
 And so well did she do it that ev- cry one In the party would have been fooled to the last if the hos tess hadn't told on herself.
 After a diverting game of bridge made more enjoyable by the con- genial conversation of old friends, a number of others dropped in for aft ernoon tea.

7. ". (. 4. Swimn,ing Pool Opens On
 Thursday
Hurrav for the KiwanIans!

The praises of philanthropists and public benefactors have been sung in newspapers ever since newspapers were invented We'll merited is the commendation given those who work for the milk -and-ice fund, the anti tuberculosis association, and all the other drives and funds in the cata- logue of good works, but who could place mere charity workers in the same class with the Kiwanians?
 And what have the Kiwanians done?
 In simple language, for a deed like that doesn't need to be flossed up with fine words they have made possible the opening of the swim ming pool at the Y. ". c. A. They will finance operations during July.
 Some noble, generous-hearted Ki- wanian must have caught vision of the myriads of girls and women in Birmingham, sweltering and scorching for lack of just one cool dip in the water. He must have suddenly walked up to the fact that during the past winter there has been no place in the city where women could swim or be taught to swim. And so, with this visiCn in his heart, he and his fellow Kiwanlans became angels of mercy, and presto! Thursday morning will find a flock of happy, grateful mermafds and would-bes camping around the basement of the Y. W. c. A, waiting to give the old bathing suit new sensa tion-a swim In a clean, pure, indoor pool, In fact. Mrs. J. D. Stradley, general secretary of the Y. W. c. A, stated that she was very doubtful of keeping her enthusiastic young water dewotees out of the pool until the formal opening on Thurs day.
 And not only Is the content of the Dig bathtub" to be certified aqua pura, but four strong men hsve been busy on hands and knees scrubbing the floors and the pool fixtures since the glad news has been known.
 The Kiwanis club hag assured the opening of the pool fer one month and at the next meeting of the Inter- club council, other civic clubs of Bir- mingham will have opportunity to lend their assistance.
