THE floor space in the circular
l. tower will be a trife less than
the floor space in a square building
whose walls are the same length as
the diameter of the circle: but this.
the inventor claims, is amply com
pensated for by the increased height
possible with his type Of construction.
For instance. a building 100 feet
square would have a floor space of
10000 square feet, while a circular
building whose diameter was 100 feet
would have floor space of approx
nately 1854 square feet. Owing to
the radial construction Of the central
supporting walls. however, and the
fact that the outer wall need not sup
port any Of the weight of the struc-
ture. the interior rooming arrange
ments will be such. according to Mr.
Reeve, that almost the same Office
space can be obtained as in the larger
structure, with the additional adyan-
tage that all the offices are on the
outside. The location, of the elevators
around the central column will also.
he claims, more than make up in con-
venience for the slightly smaller floor
space.
But it is not principally for the
sake of having an office building that
betters the present design that Mr..
Reeve is working. His plan is pri-
marily intended to improve housing
and living conditions for the mass of
people to a point which has never
been approximated up to the present
time. According to his statements
and figures, a city built on his plan

would take Mp, and this without
crowding-with even far less con-
gestion than prevails at present. The
modern uneconomically planned city
block will hold only limited number
of people,. the ideal city block, as
planned by Mr.. Reeve. will accommo-
date ten times as many tenants with
greater freedom and more space than
each individual now enjoys.
THE city Of the future! Great wide
i streets separating blocks of
apartments, each with it's general
building; no subway rush, for people
will work in their own block; parks
everywhere, for the Reeve plan will
enable many people to live without
crowdlng where few live uncon,fort-
able nowadays, and a forest of mighty
towers challenging the skies where
now only a few tall structures rear
themselves heavenward.

The unusual apparatus which rises
above the automobile like a chimney
is a double-tubed Ventura meter,
which measures the speed of the mo-
tor car through the air. 1t resembles
q metallic stack, is bolted to the run
ming board and is equipped at it's up
Per terminal with cutting edges
which shear away Objectionable tree
branches and other foliage which OBJ
struct the passage of the car. The
Ventura meter is made large enough
so that it can measure air velocities
as low as ten miles an hour. Figures
on the quantity of air used by the
engine result from a study of pres
sure differences produced by the flow
of air used by the carburetor through
the double -tubed Ventura.

THoRoUGH tests have been made
i of the recording apparatus under

on smooth roads, rough roads and wet

suits demonstrate irrefutably the ef-
ficiency and dependability OF the novel
recorders. It takes about one day to
install the testing paraphernalia on
the average automobile--it is adapted
for use on all cars that will carry
four or more passengers-and another
day TO test out the car completely to
ascertain the efficiency of its engine
and other technical parts.
The national scientists arc now
working to adapt their appliances to
use on smaller. cars which carry only
two TO three people. The results of
these extraordinary Investigations are
