Gardiner Dwelling
House Destroyed
BY Sunday Blaze

The house on the property of
George Hyson on the Marston road
off Brunswick avenue was totally
destroyed by fire about 2.30 o'clock
Sunday afternoon. When discovered
the entire second story Of the build
ing was mass of flames, thought
to have started around the chimney.
The big pumper at the Central Sta
ton answered the call, and although
nothing could be done to save the
house, over 1900 feet Of hose was
laid from brook to the stable and
maintaining good pressure the barn
was saved by quick work.
The furniture downstairs was
saved, but nothing from the second
story could be secured on account
of the great Roadway made by the
blaze before discovered.

THE theory underlying this test"
DR.. Snow explains. us that the subject
who Is unable, with any degree Of ac-
curacy or promptness. to make the
necessary judgment suffers from a Wis
ual defect, which makes him an unde-
sirable candidate for a pilot of any
transportation vehicle. 1t should be

test a learning period has been estab-
lished. In this period the instructions
are explained until the applicant can
demonstrate to us an understanding of
them"
Another test measures the emotional
stability of a driver during an emer-
gency by requiring him to throwj Ger.

SEES INTO FUTURE
Of SUPERCHARGER
Expert Predicts Development
Will Modify Transmission
of Auto.

Will the supercharger be developed
to a point where it will bring about
the long discussed modification of the
conventional transmission of the au-
tomobile? G. II. Short of the research
division of the General Motors Cor
poration. addressing the annual meet
ing of the Society of AutOmotive En-
gineers, declared that If the super
charger can be designed to give
higher power at low speed it will
have this result.
Such device would result in
greater power and greater fiexibility
in the automobile, he said.
The use of such a supercharger
would permit the size of the engine
to be reduced to that required for
normal operation on level roads. with
the supercharger assuring the neces-
sary reserve power for hill climbing
and quick acceleration. The engine
could be run at maximum efficiency
speed and the heat generated by the
compressor, together with the pull
verizing effect of the air blast on
the fuel as 1t enters the cylinders.
would result in better mixture distri-
button with the present motor fuel
and the possibility of using heavier
fuels successfully.
The object of supercharging. Mr..
Short explained, is to inject greater
quantity Of air and fuel mixture into
the engine cylinder at each filling
than would normally be possible. and
thereby to obtain a greater horse
power output from the additional
heat units set free during combus-
ton. A pump of suitable design is
provided TO compress the mixture to
the desired pressure and to force 1t
into the cylinder.

Recent publication Of a photograph
depicting q parade Of automobiles 25
years ago offers food for thought. for
1t carries an important message for
those who are of the opinion that
the automobile is about as perfect as
1t can be made.
In this photograph Of the crude
self-propelled buggies Of the early
century there are shown several
horse drawn wagons. They are 1901
models, yet the streets today are dot.
ted with wagons of practically the
same appearance. In all these years
the wagon has stood still. while the
automobile has been advanced at
such a rate that last years model
always has looked antiquated.
One wonders what would have
been the situation had improvement
in wagons been as intensive as that
In motor vehicles. An outstanding
hazard of driving behind horse was
that he might run away. and yet
the mere addition of a powerful set
OF real brakes would have covered
that point. Inclosed wagons and car.
riages could have been popularized
lust as closed cars have been. There
was nothing about the idea OF the
self-propelled vehicle that made It
any more susceptible to improve
ment.
II the automobile stands still there
is every reason to suppose the aero.
plane or some more advanced mode of
transportation will SO far surpass II
as to leave 1t far behind in the race
Of getting about. Foresighted auto
mobile manufacturers are awake 10
the situation. and are doing everything
in their power to keep the automobile

This Is a direct challenge to the aero
