Well informed employers are recog-

help place men and women at work

is shifted to another job. Likewise, in

discharge a worker only from his own

balance is the ratio of weight of parts below the springs, particularly the wheels and axles, to the weight of body and passenger load. A car Is recognized in engineering circles 10 be scientifically balanced when the weight of the running gear is light as related to the load.
 In the passenger ear realm, Frank lin has for years been the leading exponent of scientific weight distri. button. although autom otive engin- eers with other connections, includ- ing racing car engineers, have given much thought and attention to the development of scientific balance. The effect of weight distribution, upon road performance is said 10 be so marked that one engineer height ened the peak speed of his racing car 13 miles per hour simply by re- ducing the weight of the rear axle. The achievement ia explained by the fact that the lighter axle did not pound upward against the body as did the heavy axle previously used, and the wheels Of the racing car with lighter axle maintained q steady grip on the road resulting in better traction and higher speed.
