SEEKING STANDARD
engineering WORK
Movement of Accredited Bodies for
International Uniformity Brings
Suggestions From Experts.

Through the formation of an interna-
tional standards association, national
sta ndardiZing organizations of various
countries hope to develop a program
to achieve much desired uniformity in
engineering work.
Federation of accredited national
bodies is viewed as the most effective
starting point from which to carry
forward the movement to bring about
world standards so that parts Of ma
chimes built in different countries will
be interchangeable.
The attitude of the Society Of Auto
motive Engineers was outlined at q
special conference of interested mem
bers held recently. 1t Is as follows:
Approval of the principle Of inter
national cooperation and uni1catiOn
in engineering standardization.
Approval of the formation Of some
orga nization to collect and dissent.
nate information and promote coop
Grafton among national standardiZing
bodies in various countries.
Adoption Of international engineer
ing standards should be approa ched
most carefully, and the proposed or
ganization should be capable of con-
version into an international engineer
ing standardizing body.
American participation in the organ
iZation should be through the Ameri-
can Engineering Standards Commit
tee.
Procedure for adoption of interna-
tional standards should be substan.
TALLY the same as in the adoption Of
national standa rds, and the machinery
therefor should be provided through
the American Engineering Standards
Committee as it exists when a body Is
orga nzed for international technical
cO-opera ton.

The Old Mechanic Says:

devices. They're crutches, but they're
mighty useful.
Maybe it seems like throwin'' good
money away, but an oil filter, an air
cleaner or a gas filter attached to an
engine will go a long way toward
helpin 1t to keep young. A thermostat
put in the upper water hose will
make an engine Of older design match
the quick startin' ability of the newer
engines. A new set Of spark plugs
will stop a lot of misfirin' and will
save overworkin' the second speed
gear.
Here il another point to consider:
Sometimes the car ages because OF
neglect of some parts that do not
seem to have any connection with
the vital mechanism. It's like the way
bad teeth posOn a body and bring
on all sorts of trouble. If springs
are cleaned, thoroughly creased and
covered the owner will find that the
engine seems to have more power and
that the whole car runs better. This
is because the springs play an i'm
portant part in the drive and brakin'
Of many cars and in the general ridin'
qualities of all cars.

To the man who even casually

that Sunday fS' the most dangerous
DAY on which to drive "A car. The
city editor of every newspaper knows
that Sunday can he counted upon to
produce more serious accidents, more
injuries than any other day in the
week
1t is customary to attribute these
Sunday motor casualt lties to the fact
that ira ffic is hea vier than on any
other day. hut this is not the only
factor involved. There are several
others. For instance. some individ-
ualS work much harder over the
week end than they do during the
regular business days
They put more effort into their
amusementS than they do into the
work by means of which they gain
their livelihood. Starting out Satur-
day afternoon some motorists pride
themselves in seeing how many miles
they can cover by Sunday night. AS
they drive comparatively little ex-
cept on Sundays these long drives
leave them fati2ued BY late Sunday
afternoon. because of the fatigue they
are suffering. they are in a condition
where they are much more likely to

would he normally.
Temperate Driving Urged.
Such drivers would add to the
safety of Sunday driving if they
would take their week ends more

amusements and cut down the mile

way so good, but they would meet

speed up to limit as great as a
new driver can drive with safety.
There are plenty Of side roads

GOVT. DISPUTES CLAIM
Seeks to Avoid Paying War Risk Insurance to Mother Of Soldier Killed Overseas,

Hartford, Dec 27 H, - Sergeant Daniel $. Johnstone. on April 4, 1918, made application for an al- lotment of $50, of his wages to his mother, Mrs. Maria Johnstone, rather than application for war risk insurance.
 This is the contention of the fed eral government in the defense of an action for s1O,000 insurance, brought by Mrs. Johnstone. Her son was killed in France on July 20, 1918.
 The testimony in the case was completed today before Judge Thomas in the federal court The government rested after introducing as witnesses. Carl Michalek, member of Company K, and l.. S. Sasser of Washington, employed in the office of the chief of the insurance division of the war veterans bureau Mich- aleL's testimony was for the purpose of showing tha, he had never applied for insurance, but he insisted that Salvatore Miscrci was the only man in the company who had made ap- plication.

Lord Darling Replies to Cam-

London. Dec. 27 tPl-Lord Darling, speaking at the annual dinner of the Gray's Inn Debating society, took q fling at the Cambridge under graduates who recently offered a resolution that women ought to be "aboished".
 Tn my opinion" said his lordship. Tt is pity the resolution was not passed before they were born.''
 The undergraduates action was taken at meeting of the Cambridge Union society. A. E. King Hamilton, arguing for the resolution, charged that the women of today were "as i double faced as their ancestors"
 Rather than grow old." he said, "a woman dyes when young. She bangles her arms, bingles her hair and bungles her face"
 Defending the women. A. c. Townsend made a long dissertation on the highly civilized way in which they rode bicycles and ate choco- lates. They did powder their faces, he admitted, but he pointed to the advice of Nelson: Trust in God and keep your powder dry"
 The resolution lost, 1G4 to 191.
 Since the debate King Hamilton has received 3S5 abusive letters from women. Townsend, who cham pioncd the women. has received six proposals of marriage.

 The Laura Spelman Rockefeller memorial tower, in memory of Mir. Rockefeller's mother, will rise to a height of 375 feet. It will house the carillon now in the Park avenue church. Four bells will be added to the present 53 making the carillon the largest and heaviest in the word.

Grow Hair on Bald Mice Will Trv It on Humans

Taunton. England. Dec. 27 Pl- Bald mice have been made to grow hair in experiments designed to discover a cure for badness among human.
 To grow hair on mice Is easy. sceintists explain, but the trick was 10 make the mice bald.
 Dr. F. A. F. Crew, principal of the Animal Breeding Institute of the Edinburgh University, has discov- cred that mice may be made to shed their coats by extracting certain gland substances. Dr. Crew also says that by extracting a substance from normal mice and grating it on the bald ones, he has been able to promote the growth of inc coat again either completely or partially, according to the amount applied.
 The experiments are being con- tinued with a view of ascertalnlne if human badness may not be due to the same glandular. deficiency. and therefore curable in a similar way.
