Police department. officials and
traffic experts from these tests point
out that in driving to save a possible
five minutes over 10mile trip driv-
ers are using extra gasoline, wearing
out, brake Innings, throwing courtesy
to the winds, risking arrest with a
fine or Jail sentence and inviting ac-
cidents not only to their own cars
and persons, but forcing hazards in
the way of thousands of other cars
and threatening limb and life of
pedestrians, many of whom are chill

These tests were the first to be
made in Los Angeles, and seem to
prove convincingly that high speed
in congested districts is not only a
highly dangerous practice from many
standpoints, but is an economic loss

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS

Just because the other fellow

It's. seein' things from all angles

Correspondence of the Associated Press
STOCKHOLM, December 15.-How
to harness the sea waves for indus
trial work, one of the oldest problems
in the world, has been solved, accord
ing to the claim of a Swedish engi-
neer, Lieut.. Sven II. Lundberg, of the
government Road and Waterway Con-
struction Corps, who has applied for
patent rights on a huge mechanism,
| devised by him, which might be char
acterized as a. floating power station.
The Lundberg invention not only
| produces power automatically from
| the action of the waves, but by means
| OF turbinedriven dynamos can con-
vert this power into electricity. II
consists basically of a raft about 500
! feet long and 300 feet wide, which
| Is so affected by the rising and falling
| Of the sea that it utilizes about so
| per cent of the dynamic energy
| actually contained in a wave. 1t is
| not at present possible to give de-
| tails OF construction, but experiments
/ already made with q small-sized ap-
| paratus prove, according to the in
ventor, that a single wave five feet
high can deliver 2,7o0 horsepower
| to the station, and that the available
| power increases at a more rapid rate
| than the height of the wave, so that,
| for example, 10-foot wave Can de-
liver 15,200 horsepower.
Mr.. Lundberg declares that floating
| power RATS of this type are so steady
| that production plants could be built
| on top of them, and that they would
| be ideal for factories that develop
| soda and chemical fertilizers out OF
/ air and water. He makes also the
/ startling claim that an adaptation Of

NO. 81: "FOILING THE HOLD-UP
MAN.

Upon his return from a recent trip
Smith looked a bit worried and acted
as though he had burned a connect
| ing rod bearing or lost his best tire.
Finally | became inquisitive enough
to make inquiry.
Whats the matter, Smith? Been
nabbed for speeding?

"Of course, it wasn't necessary. 1t
was an outrage. Where did it hap
pen?"

he explained. 1T may happen to any
driver wherever he chances to drive.
What l want to tell fellow motorists
is that if they are wise to a few
tricks they need never worry"
why didn't you know enough to
put on gas when you saw you were

miles from civilization. l hadn't the

and they helped themselves. If they
had been waving their hands wildly
and urging me to stop l would per-
haps have recalled the numerous
hold-ups we have been having, and
would have made my getaway as
quickly as possible. But these fell
lows gave the impression that they
ri cd n fn
stop and, failing, they had gone back
to the hopeless task of working on
their problem alone"
The point in this was that If Smith
had felt that he ought tosbe good
scout he should not have drawn up
to a standstill until he was at least
200 feet beyond the other car. And
he should have left the motor run
ming His next step would be to see
what the stranded parties would do.
If they both started to walk up to
him he would be justified in letting
in the clutch and skipping off,. But
if one man stayed at the job, he could
afford 10 take his chances with the
one who came up to him. As the fell
low approached it would be an easy
matter to decide whether hospitality
was worth risking. The seasoned
hold-up man looks the part. while
the amateur manifests a combination
of savagery and nervousness, the
partner invariably watching him
carefully.
