J. D. Mes. dean of the Chicago

Il certainly agree with you In every
effort to make motor travel safer.
The changes which you suggest would
no doubt prevent or help In certain
kinds of accidents. A strong, compact
steel car would be desirable If it does
not add too much to weight and cost.
A low center of gravity Is desirable
provided there is still s,ifncient road
clearance"
j. A. Cutler. professor OF physics,
Miami University. Oxford. Ohio:
With speed there must naturally De

and protection of the motorists. Two
factors stand out clearly in this re-
spect: namely. low center gravity and
al, steel body construction"
e. B. Norris. dean OF engineering, UNI

There Is no doubt that motor cars
with a lower center of gravity have a
higher road liability than those Of high

This requirement must limit the degree
to which the center Of gravity can be

ANY developments that will increase

Advertising Credited With Great Part 4
In Expansion of Automobile Industry

In the rapid leap Of the automobile
industry from comparative insignifi-
canoe to the greatest single business Of
the world. the part played by adver-
Using Is too important to be overlooked
This is part OF statement made by
Charles A. Tucker. sales manager Of the
Peerless Motor Car Corporation.
I'm no other industry has the COM
petition been so keen over a period OF
years." says Mr.. Tucker. 1T took a
company OF great strength and stability
TO remain In the field. A few years
ago at the automobile show size OF
space allotted to an individual manu-
facturer was necessarily small. because
so many ma kers had to be provided with
room in which to display their products

PARK POLICE PRAISED
FOR HANDLING CROWDS
Grant Commends Force for Assist
ance at Monument Cere-
monies,

The manner in which the United
States park police handled the cere-
monies at the Monument Grounds in
connection with the Fourth of July ac-
tivities was the subject of letter of
commentator today from Lieut.. Col.
u. S. Grant. Sd. director of the office
of public buildings and public parks of
the National Capital. to Capt. M. H.
Parsons. chief of the protection division.
Permit me TO express my apprecia-
ton of the excellent manner in which
the park police handled the enormous
crowd and very unusual traffic on the
afternoon and evening of July 4. assem-
bled for the festivities in the Washing
ton Monument Grounds" Col. Grants
letter said. The cheerful and efficient
manner in which the duty was per-
formed was particularly gratifying in
consideration of the fact that it en-
tailed extra hours and overtime on the
part of so many members of the force.
viii you please extend to the men,
oers of the force my thanks and appre-
citation, including the building guards
who took charge of the parking of ma
chimes south OF the Navy and NUM-
tons Buildings?"
Col. Grant also sent letter to Frank
T. Gartside, chief of the park mainte-
nance division, for the work which the
men under HIM performed in cleaning
the grounds and repairing the damage
done by the crowd.

stressed the important part played by
the wilson's in the public affairs of

Sleepy Heads
Some Are brewster Than
Others, Scientists
Discover.

XXTASHINGTON, April "a
w Middle aged men who are
engaged all. day in absorbing in
tellectual work are more restless
sleepers than their wives who
keep house and play bridge, the
National Academy Of Science
was told today. DR.. H. M. john
son, of the Mellon Institute of
Industrial Research, at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, presented a
report of his latest experiments
in sleep.
A sleeper sinks to a state OF
minimum activity about thirty
to forty-five minutes after retir-
ing, DR.. johnson has found. For
the rest of the night there is a
regular wave-like alienation OF
stirring and quiet.
The chart of an individuals
activity pattern during sleep is,
to a certain extent, characters
tic of him. The curves or
restlessness undergoes striking
changes in anxiety and in differ
ent phases of some mental dis
eases.
I'VE are now nearing the close
Of a years investigation in two
hospitals, designed to show
whether the information may
prove useful in diagnosis" DR..
johnson said.
A marked difference has been
found in the sleeping charts Of
people of different vocations. The
middle aged brain workers whose
sleep was measured were more
restless sleepers than seventy-five
per cent of college boys, and they
were more restless than skilled
machiniStS. Children also moved
about more than the average COL
lege student.
