OAAAO1AAOg 4tAss OCpJs 4Os---Al
you want to know who's going
to win the Tunney-D Dempsey
fight here next Thursday night,
there's at least one man in
Chicago who can tell you. and
that's none other than Leo
Pugnacious Persistence Flynn,
who knows more about what's
going to happen when Tunney
meets Dempsey than old man
Marquis of Queensbury himself.
Leo says Dempsey is going to
knock Tunney bow-legged,
pigeon-toed, cr0ss-eyed and
knock-kneed within seven rounds
and that isn't IT,, and or raaybe,
As the twilight shades were
creeping over Lincoln FIELDS and
as Jack Dempsey was preparing
himself to be glowed upon by
the incandescent lights which
have been strung up to ac-
custom his eyes to the zero hour
flares of Thursday night, Leo
Pugnacious Persistence sat upon
the clubhouse balcony and
turned on the double-disc record
of which he is author, composer,
producer, wholesaler, nliddieman
and retailer. 1t runs something
like this:
"Why, Dempsey isn't only go
ing to win this fight, but he's
going to win it by K. o. and
before the seventh round is over
at that"
We timidly interiected:
"Well, Mr.. Flynn, why didn't
he do it in Philadelphia last
September"
Because psey wasn't
right last September" was
Leo's chorus. "Jack was slipped
a Mickey Flynn (pugilistic for
a sleeping potion) in Philadel-
phia by someone in his own
camp and he was in such bad
shape that good lightweight
fighter could have knocked him
out. Besides that he was har-
raised to death by legal proc
esses and never knew what mo-
naent some arm of the law was
going to touch him on the shout
der and tie up everything he had
and possibly be relieved of his
personal liberty.
there's all the difference in
the world in that fellows shape
today as against his shape a
year ago. ] do not exactly at
tribute it to the fact / am
handling him, but more to the
fact that he's rid Of his legal
worries, the championship wor-
ries and to the more important
circumstance that there's nobody
around this camp who would slip
Dempsey a poison dose any
sooner than they'd cut off their
own arms"
So much for Leo p. FLYNN.
who gets his speel off with as
much assurance as If the fight
were already over and Dempsey
tucked safely away to bed.
There you have the word Of
one o! the managers and You
may take it for what it's worth.
But If you ever heard a mana
ger who said ought but that his
fighter was going to win an
impending battle then you won't
have to take Leo's words with
q grain Of salt.

Engineering and industrial re-
search for many years has needed
simple and accurate device for
determining the load applied by test
ing machines during important eX-
perimentation. The schemes and in
efficient devices which have been in
use have been either inaccurate or
very clusmy. The Bureau of Stand
ards has perfected proving ring or
steel which can be used efficiently
for that purpose. The reformation
which occurs in this ring is an accu-
rate gauge of the load applied The
DETECTION Is measured by the in
genious arrangement of a vibrating
fork suspended from one extremity
of the rings diameter and a micro
meter point adjustable to just touch
the reed at the other extremity.
Proving rings for larger loads as
great as 100000 pounds or more are
now being developed. Apparatus
for celebrating testing machines of
capacity of 5000 tons will eventu-
ally be products Of this research.
Modern ammunition depends chiefly
for it's success on the use of ex-
tremely accurate gauges These are

gun making and shell or projectile
production. Ordnance may be made

testing guages, all the different
parts and pieces will fit together per-
fectly when finally assembled. Our
Government technologists have been
studying the wear of these gauges
in service. 1t has used chromium
/ successfully as plating material to
give longer life and more reliable
accuracy to these abbreviated yard
sticks of ordnance output. Gauges
covered with thin layers of chromium
are much superior in wear resist
ance and long time accuracy to those
made from special steels.
Shop production was speeded up
greatly and the art of cutting
metals advanced rapidly about 20
years ago when high speed" tool
steels were first developed. The Gov
eminent has been experimenting at
standards shops with the cutting
properties of tools made from high
grade steels when used on some of
the commercial alloy steels, such as
carbon, nickel, low and high chro-
MUM, chrome -vanadium and the
like. which have tensile strengths
of 65 900 to $4,000 pounds per square
inch. This intensive investigation of
steel uses is illustrative of many

Mirror Searchlisht.

FOR some time there has been on
the market combination of an
electric searchlight and a diminishing
mirror. The device serves the double
purpose of an adjustable searchlght
at night and in the day mirror for
rendering visible vehicles approaching
from the rear.
The device is equipped with all the
necessary brackets and wiring attach
ments. so that the lamp may be In.
stalled on a car in a few minutes
time. The switch is in the handle OF
the lamp, so that the driver can turn
the light on or off as desired without
interfering with the other lights. The
lamp can be prepared for emergency
service by wiring 1t direct to the bat
terry.
The lamp embodies many conven-
fences, among which may be men
toned an adjustable lock at any angle
desired, and a detachable back re-
Hector, so that the lamp bulb may be
removed and replaced in the reflector
without lingering or soiling the highly
nolished surface.
