Most of them, however. are keeping

saving that the governor has only again
expressed views which he has expressed

courageous thing. Sttli others insist
that the platform is dry enough, and
that Smith cannot change 1t. This IS
the view of Senator Carter Glass OF

Now that the delegates have elected

RA|NF ALL CURBS
FOREST PEST

Abundant rainfall, entomologists
have observed. provides an effec-
tive control on the destruction OF
forest trees by bark beetles, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture. When the rainfall is
deficient entomologists have learned
to expect that bark beetles will
multiply faster than usual
1t also appears that trees suffer
ing from lack of moisture develop
conditions within them that make
more effective the attacks of the
beetles. This is one of the facts
which entomologists list as a rsla-
tionship between meteorological con-
ditions and insects.
<In the broad expanseg of com
mercial forests it is impossible, or
at least unecononicaI. to try to
supply water by artificial means. Tn
lawns and in the vicinity of homes
a fine tree has a. value much in
excess of the price 1t would bring
at a sawmill
Here the home owner would often
gladly pay any reasonable price or
make any reasonable effort to pro-
tect his trees from insect attack.
In the case of the bark beetles
the remedy is almost obvious. It Is
to provide moisture conditions which
are the counterpart Of heavy pre-
cipitation in the forest. Incipient
infestations' by the beetles mag be
checked and drowned out by liDera
applications of water to the roots OF
the tree.
II other trees in the neighbour
hood are being injured by bark
beetles, copious water supply for
the roots OF unaffected trees il
likely to provide a high measure OF
protection, says the department.

Willys-Knight Stands
Abuse Of Severe Tests

Holding up without break or a
weakness under the shocks and
strains OF the most grueling tests
vet devised by engineers and exper-
ien1ed race track drivers, u strictly
stock Willys-Knight Standard Six
sedan established a brilliant record
recently on the Indianapolis Speed
way.
In the face of 40.mile wind gales
that swept across a slippery track,
rain and temperatures that ranged to
NO below freezing, this stock car
taken blindfolded from the regular
production line Of WHY'S verland's
Toledo plant-proved its stamina,
endurance and speed, and satisfied
official observers that it would stand
up under the toughest abuses that
any driver could give It. These
tests were all observed and checked
by two officials Of the Hoosier Mo-
tor Club and indianapolis newspaper
men.
This stock car, the lowest priced
Of the WHY'S Knight Six line, was
driven $50 miles continuously in Sec
cnd gear at an average speed of 4O.56
miles per hour without a stop for
mechanical adjustment and in con-
slant downpour of rain. To average
this speed, the car was driven for
many laps at as miles an hour in
second gear and at the finish the mo-
tor was surprisingly cold. Water
in the radiator had not dwindled and
was lukewarm in spite of the fact
that it had been driven at high
speed in second gear for six hours
and nine minutes. Charles +. Cum
mings, representing the Hoosier Mo-
tor Club, rode the entire distance
verifying the fact that the gears
were not changed or tempered with.
This car was driven at top speed
continuously for 100 miles without
a stop and completed the 40 laps in
one hour, 80 minutes and 81 1-2 Sec
onds for an average speed of COS
miles per hour. No stops were made
and a finger could be held on the
radiator at the finish.
Among the most spectacular tests
were those applied to deceleration
and brakes. The car was speeded up
to IS miles an hour and then the
four-wheel brakes were suddenly ap-
Piled With the motor aiding the
brakes in deceleration, the car was
stopped within 1872 feet, five inches
and it required $50 seconds to do it..
When the car was speeded % miles

stopped it within q feet 3 1-2 inches
or 1.S seconds; at the 35-mile rate,
it stopped within Sc feet, inches
and at As miles within SO feet, a
