ONE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT

II is unfortunate that the recommendations made
by Colonel Mitchell, formerly assistant chief of the
air service should be confused with the personal
troversy that he has precpitated. On their mer-
It's those recommendations entitled to serious
slderaton and the issue raised will have be faced
sooner or later matter what may be Colonel Nit
chellS personal merits, faults or fortunes.
he urges unfication of all of the nations de-
fensve branches, in Department of National Defense
under one cabinet secretary, with under-secretares
Tor the departments of land water and air. or army,
navy and aviation. This idea is not original with
Colonel Mitchell. 1t has been suggested by authori-
ties IN recent years. 1t looks like logical arrange
ment and said to have been adopted and proved its
worth In practice, in several foreign countries
minor recommendation for the air branch of
defense is also worth considering. The department
of aeronautlcs, the colonel chooses to call it, should
be divided, he says, into three branches.
One would be charged with the encouragement
and development of civil aviation, including weather
service and legal service, aiding and promoting COM
merclal aviation IN every possible way.
The second would be a department of construc-
ton studying and experimenting with every type of
aircraft and seeking to evolve the best for every pur
pose, using all the resources of private enterprise
The third would be the defensive air force .'spe-
officially charged with air defense of the whole coun-
try .
Much may be heard of these suggestions when
congress assemblies.

BOSCH PUTS OUT
GOVERNOR TO use
ON FORD TRACTOR

A new throttle governor for au-
tomatically controlling the opera
| ton of the Fordson tractor engine
has just been placed on the market
by the American Bosch Magnetic
Corporation. of Springfield, Mass,
prominent manufacturers of auto
motive electrical equipment and
car accessories.
The new Bosch governor is re-
markably sensitive. 1t is quick to
respond to the slightest increase or
decrease in load, instantly adjusting
the throttle SO rs to maintain an alb
solutclv uniform speed.
The Bosch governor is dustproof
and waterproof. 1t is simple in de-
sign. ruggedlv built. and viii give
thoroughly dependable service for
years without any attention except
oiling and an occasional cleaning.
1t is easy to install. and easy to ad
just. Anyone can do it.
The speed at which the FordSon
operates is determined by the ten
sion of coil spring supplied with
the Bosch governor. and attached
TO the governor control arm. This
spring tension may be changed
quickly by regulating two wing
nuts. The speed selected will be
maintained without further attcn-
ton. but should the operator wish
to change the speed at any time.
he may do so by using the hand
throttle. The automatic control
may be cut out at any time by SIM
ply disengaging the spring plung-
err which connects the butterfly con
troll with the governor control. This

STADIJES

America is in the midst of a craze for stadums.
Every ambitious and progressive city thinks it must
have one. And that is all right for city is usually
able to afford it, and operate it without inviting
any unaccustomed abuses But every college thinks
has to have stadium, too; and thereby hangs tale
of woe.
graduate manager of athletics, writing his con-
LESSONS for the newspapers, says that building
pensive stadium is like catching bear by the tail It's
impossible to let go, and hanging on has its perils.
When college gets big stadium he explains,
1T has to get the crowds to support it. To get the
crowds, it has to win games. To win games it has to
get players To get players, it has to find jobs and
scholarships
And in the finding of jobs and scholarships, in
many Institutions there is wide latitude of practice
wherein there are large of money spent much
OF 1t loosely, unwisely and illegimatey. 1t it danger
that every college with expensive athletic establish
ment is in danger of running into. A magnificent
stadium therefore, may not be exactly the blessing
that proud alumni and undergraduates usually con-
slider it.

made the run both ways without
any great difficulty, despite the
fact that 4 road crew had that
morning blasted out II large portion
of rock and dirt for road repair.

about 500 yards of the steep road

CHEVROLET WILL
TURN OUT LARGER
BETTER TRUCKS

The Chevrolet Motor COMPANY
now has in production larger and
greatly improved utility express
one'ton chassis which sells at the
same price as the former chassis.
Besides an increase in length,
strength and weight, the new truck
has unndergone radical change in
the height Of the frame from tho
ground. The frame which formerly
was 2S inches in height has been
lowered to 24 and nlne-sixteenths
inches. This change affords maxi.
mum convenience Tor loading.
The wheel-base has been length
ened from 120 inches to 124 inches
and the overall length of the chas.
sis from 172 inches to III inches.
The frame is made of 6-inch instead
of o-inch channel steel. The weight
of the new chassis is 2,O30 pounds
against 1850 pounds, the weight of
the former model.
Only one or two minor changes
have been made in the power
plant.
The rear axle has been rc.dcsign-
ed and strengthened. 1t is of the
Iseml-fioating type with pressed
steel housing and Il large rear coy
cr which makes the unit extremely
accessible for inspection. The diff
fcrential carrier is in unit with the
third member assembly.
The front springs now arc semi
elliptic instead of quart elliptic
and the rear semi-clliptics have been
,lengthcncd from 1926 inches to -
inches.
The steering wheel is the scmi-rc-
vcrsiblc full worm type mounted on
Il bracket rivitcd to the frame.
