Reaction Time of Auto Drivers
 Governs Safety, Scientist Says

Cambridge. Mass, May 2s. R- A safe driving speed for one mo- torlst may be disastrous for anoth- CT. says Professor Charles F. Park of Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology, who has made & study of highway safety.
 There has been a return of the speed craze" he finds. ''and lead that the car will make this or that many miles per hour. The public is responding to this appeal, and highway speeds are now probably higher than ever before"
 The engineer. who is professor of mechanism and director of me- ehanieal laboratories at the insti- tute. comments on the tremendous power represented by an automo- bile in motion and the importance of being able to stop quickly. He believes that the effect of the per- sonal equation-the time it takes a driver to react to any situation-is a factor not generally recognized or appreciated.
 Professor Park asserts that 69 per cent Of the motor accidents in massachusetts, last year were caused by speed too fast for ex- Isting conditions and the kind of driver"
 Tests conducted by the Bureau Of Standards, he points out, showed that 57 automobile operators exam- ined required an average time of o.54 seconds to apply the brake pedal after they had received sig nal. Driving at GO miles an hour and reacting at this average speed d motofist would run 47ha feet after getting a stop signal before he applied his brakes. Some oper- ators had a reaction time of more than second.
 "The eXperimenters claim" says Professor Park, "that there is little doubt thas many drivers could be picked up on the streets who would have reaction times as long as one

 THRILLS AT WHEEL
Tells Susan About Her Experi. E encs Driving Automobile
lContrib ibutedl

Dear susanr
 : My fella and me went fiiyNer dash ing yesterday with me at the wheel and it won't be long now before I'll be able to navigate through heavy traffic Withol1 giving other autoists high blood pusure. not to mention trafft cops and pedestrians, When I get my drivers license I'll take you fR a spin but don't forget to bring Nour podletbook. I'm not hinting that you should pay for the ride but they's no telling when we'll run out:a gas and oil. Driving through traffic nowadays without having the other guy hand you cold looks that would freeze the contents of a hot water bottle and leaving your own bus minus a fender and headlight ain't any easier than play ing a saxophone with weak lungs.
 You'va got to have luesence of mind so's not to heComs as rattled as the buggy you're driving. This presence W mind stuff Is kinda has as sometinUss the easiest way out Of anything is to fall into a faint. So many gas wagons crowd you that if you're in a. hurry you'd make bet ter time if yau left yoar bus where it. was and got out and walked. eS- pecially if you had roller skates. I almost drove Slnder large truck once but stopped in the nick of time when AIA1y suddenly reminds me that the top was stall up. So far I've been lucky and only hati traffic cops speak to me t'wlce, men, tioning everything but compliments.
 Once when l passed a "stop" sig nal because l thought it a good time to keep moving as I had plenty Of room on account of all tfN other cars stopping. Another tiine was when some guy complained that ! was chasing him sos he hrad to climb the steps of the City .Hall building and take the elevator up ena lf1gAa to prevent being rum over. wasnt' chasing him at all. But was merely trying to park as close 70 the curb as possible. l also tEFns that driving ain't all work and sWor- ries but has its humorous sldeA
 As I was going along East street a light delivery truck gets in front of us. It was loaded with large crates containing chickens that vas probably on their way to be rhe main attraction at club dinncr or something.

and a half or even two seconds. The operator must act quickly. Otherwise the distance the car would run during the drivers re. action time>might be greater than the distance in which the brakes would bring the ear to rest.
 Tt is my opinion that when au. tom obiie operators have knowledge of their reaction times and know in what distance they can actually stop their cars under all conditions, and when they confine their atten- ton to operating the car and drive at 8 speed at which they can bring their car to rest within the dis tance for which they can see a clear way, then there will be fewer accidents on the highways attribu- table to excessive speed"

ticket"
This gave her companion some
thing to think about but he said
nothing.
The girl made sudden decision.
She would relate in full her exit
from New York and why.
This she proceeded to do. The
man chuckled once or twice but
made no comment. He was very
self-possessed young man. Finally
after long silence, he said cas-
ually: "Good Lord, ] chucked the
whole works three years ago !!

buy q ticket for the same place.
Then Cynthia refused to think fur
ther.,
/ But she did not select woman
to follow. She saw rather thin
man with q nice smile who was
burdened with bundles. They
bulged in every pocket, and he had
difficulty in doing anything at all
competent with them while he was
buying q ticket. In fact three fell
to the floor and fourth hit child
on the head during the process.
Cynthia watched this young man
with growing interest. Why in the
world was he permitting himself all
this trouble? Surely 1t wasn't nee
essary. The young man apologized
to the child, gathered up his fallen
packages and went undisturbed to-
wards his train.
Cynthia impulsively bought a
ticket for the town he had men,
toned to the man behind the win
dow and followed.
She was excited already. She
had no idea where she was going
and she didn't care. That was the
fun Of it.
She sat in the common coach and
was obliged to share her seat with
a woman, who wore a shawl over
her head and had sad, foreign
looking face. The man was three
seats ahead of her, completely
buried under his bundles. 1t was a
fOur-hour ride. People came and
went. Cynthia tried to remember
how funny they all were. She
would initiate the way they talked,
and entertain the "gang" later. This
was the way to get kick out OF
living-do something different.
At Hawbridge the young man
leaped from his seat, jammed on his
hat and plunged out Of the door.
Cynthia stumbled over the feet Of
the woman with the shawl and
Jumped down from the train steps
Just two seconds before 1t began
moving again.
A dreary, wooden station with q
faint flicker Of a lantern hanging
from q hook. A few snowflakes be-
gan falling. There was no one
about. For a moment Cynthia suf-
fered a pang Of loneliness. But
even this was a new sensation, so
she accepted it. However, she could
not stay here all night, and she had
a bag. She heard the explosions Of
q car about to start. Hurriedly
she ran in the direction Of the noise.
She could dimly see machine with
a driver.
"Could you tell me If there is
hotel here where I could stayY
asked Cynthia a little breathlessly.
Sim afraid Hawbridge is bit
shy Of hotels" replied a mans voice.
"But If you'll jump in I'll take you
to one possible boarding house."
Cynthia flung in her bag and
climbed eagerly to the seat. The car
gave deafening roar and shot of
without warning into darkness. It
was q rough road and the driver

DOUBLE MOVIE
BILL AT THE OHIO

He was an athlete when he went
to college, and when he got there
he thought that he had found a new
way to train. But for three years he
didn't amount tc anything on his
style of training. The one big thing
that he did find, however was that
his character was built or moulded
into a better shape.
This was the thing that happened
to Hugh Carve :, the fastest runner
. in his high school in 1.-THE Plastic
Age" And Cynthia Day, played by
Clara Bow, was the girl that put
him on the right track. AS I recall
the book there were many occasions
when Hugh fell, and not until he
graduated from school that he
realized what he was doing.
The picture has tried to build the
plot around the fact that Hugh was
susceptible to the wiles of CYNTHIA
only, and nearly wrecked his career
on account of her. And when he
graduates he goes back to her, after
she had made a man of him. AS
I recall the book, Carl Peters, the

You get the impression that many
of the scenes that end in closeup
are actually moving toward you. The
scene does seem 10 come right up
to you, not the camera moving, but
the entire scene. This system is
used by West through the entire pic
ture. THE Dove" is always inter-
eSting, but 1 think the mechanics
Of this picture deserve a lot of study.
From a Photographic standpoint,
THE Dove" is one of the most beau
tiful of the season. After you get
acquainted with the mechanics Of
the picture, you then will be able to
consider the second point under con-
SideratiCn-the acting CT Noah
Berry, Norma Talmadge as the good
little dance hall girl, and, Gilbert
Roland, the romantic and fighting
love companion of Norma. Noah
Berry has never had a better part
suited to his style of work.
If I were going to lame the ten
best performances of The movie sea-
son so far, 1 am sure l would head
the list with the work of Berry in
this picture. This role was a
mighty "fat" part on the stage and
Noah certainly has lost none Of the
weight in the movie version. The
character has so much comical
conceit, the type that Reery knows
how to develop SO we'll, that one
gets the opinion that the role was
made for him. Even when the
character is near the brink Of per-
sonal ruin, his conceit comes to the
rescue and you actually believe that
he is the best dam caballero" in
the business. Here is new type of
conceit. Berry is good for many
laughs and he is always in charac-
ter and he will give you a bunch of
thrills.
Norma as the dance hall girl has
her best scenes while making
romantic love to Roland or trying
to keep him from getting killed.
1.-THE Dove" is adult romantic
entertainment. The central theme
is well, just a little rough, but it
is grand theater. The director has
kept the redblood in the story and
that is something this day when
most directors are trying to even
make prize fighters just "nize boys"
