Brake Testing Proposed
in State Of Washington

Automobile brake-testlng stations
and the use Of a little "moral suasion'
on the part Of the state highway pa
troll to require drivers to have their
brakes regularly tested, is the next
development being shaped by Director
L. d. McArdle, chief Of the highway
patrol Of Washington.
A plan similar to that used in pro-
noting light-testing will be employed
where an arrest slip is issued for some
minor infraction, to be Cancelled only
upon securing the required certificate
Of inspection.
Certificate Of inspection, dated, will
be attached to the outside Of the car
When a car is stopped for any rea-
son. the patrolmen are to try the
brakes and If they are not good, the
arrest slip is to be issued to be re-
deemed only by proper brake inspec.
ton certificate. In this way 1t Is
planned largely to overcome the lack
Of specific brake-testing legislation.

INV Home TolUnp

In the concert hall of the Seamen's
Church institute Of New York city q
motley crowd Of Scandinavians. Eng
lishmen, Slavs, Italians and Americans,
white and negro, were singing at the
top Of their lungs.
They had sung with some fervor be-
fore. when the words Of familiar songs
were flashed on the screen, but this
was the song that really stirred them
to enthusiasm:
Not here. not there. it's nifty miles
town.
Not here. not there. but I'm all set to
go there.
So I'll make q break ana take q look
in the mirror.
Where's my hat? Where's my coat?
Where's my leather bag?
Send my trunk to the place written
on the tag.
Not here, not there. it's nifty miles
from nowhere. but it's my home
town.
"As you see," says the lookout Of
the institute, this Is pretty bad poetry
and the music was hardly better; but
as these men from the far corners Of
the earth sang about their home town
with that curious ring In their voices
It almost brought tears to the eyes.
A universal note had been struck
The outlook.

Circle the Globe tn


If the modern paved streets Of 200
leading American cities were merged
into single great highway ID feet
wide that highway would more than
twice encircle the globe, according to
the first national survey. the results Of
which have just been announced.
The survey shows that with an av-
erage Of 10 feet of width there are &c.
974.S miles Of paved streets In Ameri-
can cities Of 10000 or more population.
This mileage by far exceeds that Of
every other country in the world.
These 200 cities, which include all
but three Of the cities Of 10000 or
more population and which comprise
658 per cent Of the 53,89s,3S5 urban
population of the United States, report
a total Of COL ,653,547 square yards Of
pavement. OF this 469, 463.141 square
yards, or 70 per cent, are Of the types

These higher types in turn comprise
percentages Of the total types higher

There Is no more pathetic story in
the history Of northern Michigan than
that Of the deserted village Of Jen-
nings, II miles northeast Of Cadillac.
in Missaukee county, says Cadillac
correspondent.
Jennings was founded some IS or
40 years ago by Mitchell Bros COM
pany, sawmill, flooring and chemica!
plant established there, also large
general store. Hundreds of persons
came direct from Sweden to the vii
lage. where they were employed in
the mills of the company. But when
the last giant maple was cut and the
hills and valleys In the vicinity were
bare Of raw material for the saws
and planners the company tore down
the big mills and moved the machinery
to Cadillac. where larger and more
modern factories were erected. The
100 or more residences owned by the
company were moved intact to Cad
lilac, also most Of the privately owned
houses. Today there are only hand.
full Of former Inhabitants left In the
once prosperous and happy village.
The chief occupation Is EARNING Of the
early days.
These old men and women will tell
the inquiring stranger that Jennings
was the best town in the world" ex-
cepting possibly in some cases the old
home town in Sweden. Sons and
daughters would gladly bring them to
Cadillac or to other cities to which
they moved in the march Of progress,
but Jennings Is their world, they pre-
fer to live and die there.-Beloit News.

Federal influences.
This, as see it, is the hours call.
Many a battle has our party fought
since the day of the great man whose
memory we honor tonight. When vic
tory has come to usit has never been
through appeals to section or to
class. 1t has been through adher-
ence to the great truths for which he
stood.
Let us cling to them now. Let us
rise above mere play to this section
or to that, to this group or to that.
Let us believe that the American
peopel, no matter to what party they
belong, are essentially honest; that
the best in every party wants to see
the farmer prosper, and labor pros
per and business prosper; and realize
that at last principle is at stake,
and that our high resolve should be
to restore to the people of the SOW
ereign States the right to decide as
they will questions which concern

No Two Men
Are Alike

You can't find two men that ar,
just alike. When they match at IT,.
chest they differ at the wa4stlin,
Same chest measurements-Yes
one is stoop shouldered, the othel
erect, one has high shoulders tn,
other low. Nature turns out few
perfect men. Men rarely match il
body any more frequently than the,
do in brains.
It is impossible to produce clothes
which absolutely fit the body unless
that body is especially studied and
the pattern laid out from actual
measurements. AS long as no two
men are alike, all proper fitting
clothes will be made to measure.
A coat that looks we'll on a man
six foot tall won't look the same on a
fellow five foot six. Patterns that be-
come a slender man look ridiculous
on his fat brother. 1t makes no differ
ence to the tailor whether he sells
you a stripe or check, plaid or plain
cloth, for he has no made up stock, he
is. free to give you just what you
want.
You can't afford to overlook the
certain satisfaction that goes with
having your clothes Made to Measure.
They cost no more and the improve
ment in your appearance to say moth
ing Of the long wear, is inducement
enough.

A wealthy favorite son has willed a
collection Of nearly 1900 oil paintings
to the city of Philadelphia. Included
in the catalogue is a group Of eighteen
canvases from the brush Of the de-
lightful French lanscapeur, Jean
Camille Corot. This is said to be the
largest and finest assemblage Of Co.
rots in this or any other country.
Such a gift cannot but elevate the
artistic perceptions Of community.
When people become bewildered in the
chase for dollars it is fine to be d.
verted for even a moment to that
which is beautiful in art. Municipal
libraries and municipal art galleries
are the hope Of a higher civilization.

LOAD FOR'HORSE
DEPENDS ON ROAD

That the size Of the load horses or
mules can move depends upon the
road was determined in contests re-
Gently held at the Iowa state fair. The
teams tested developed all the way
from SO to PIP horse power and ex-
erted from 1900 up to $500 pounds in
tractfve pull, but the pull exerted by
the teams which developed 1900
pound tractive pull was sufficient to
start and pull 1874 tons Of coal over q
level concrete pavement.
These tests-the first ever held
were made possible through the horse
and mule dynamometer, the invention
Of Prof. II. v. Collins of the agricul-
tural engineering section Of the Iowa
State College Of Agriculture and ex-
pertinent station at Ames, Ia.
With the Collins dynamometer. pre-
determined loads can be imposed on
horses or mules for any required dis
lance or time. and pair after pair can
be tested with absolute assurance that
the load Ia the same.
"Tractive pull" refers to energy ex.
erted In direct pull, and 10 the same
as the pull required to pull weight
out Of hole in the ground. The trac-
tive pull required to pull an ordinary
walking pillow in stuble, turning fur
row six inches deep and IA inches
wide. is about 400 pounds: or, in other
words, the team has to expend tsie
same energy as 1t would in pulling a
4OOpOund weight out Of deep hole
in the ground.
The load tractive pull will move
depends on other factors. To Illus
trade-a demonstration load was
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1924-04-19

shown in connection with the Iowa
tests. A new farm wagon was loaded
with sacked grain weighing, 6,24O
pounds--equivalent to 1O4 bushels Of
wheat or Ill ITO bushels Of shelled
corn. To move this load which, plus
wagon, weighed 1920 pounds, or 3.86
tons, required on concrete pavement
tractive pull of 125 pounds, or 1875
pounds per ton; on brick pavement a
tractive pull Of 200 pounds, or SIS per
ton; on asphalt, 800 pounds, or TIT
per ton. and on the dirt and cinder-
surfaced road where the pulling tests
were being held 1t required $40 pounds,
or 134.7 pounds tractive pull per ton.
These results, corroborated by other
tests, show that It is easier to pull
three tons on a concrete road than one
ton on a firm dirt road, and indicate,
forcefully, cthe value Of hard roads.
Watts definition Of one-horse power.
laid down centuries ago, was approx
mately correct in measuring the ener-
gy which horse can expend continu-
ously throughout u working day; but
he failed entirely to recognize the re-
markable reserve power seasoned
horses or mules possess. When sin
gle pair of horses, rated at two-horse
power, can exert over 21-horse power,
1t is obvious that they have a value
far above their theoretical twO-h0rse
power. Above all other considerations,
however, is the fact that draft horses
and mules can now. be listed on q
basis of performance. as dairy cattle
or race horses are tested.
