New Device Measures
 Auto Riding Quality

IOWA CITY, Oct. 29.-Measuring the riding qualities of automobiles with an instrument known as the gyro- -accelerator soon may become practical, asserts Prof. Merritt L.. Fox of the University of Iowa.
 A standard test, consisting of driving car over a bump at vari- ous speeds and plotting curves of the resulting angular acceleration quantities as shown by the gyro- accelerator, was devised. The re- suits of the tests, Professor Fox said, indicate the close relationship between the riding quality and the angular acceleration, or speed of motion around a point in the car.
 This relationship. he said, permits riding quality to be evaluated nu- merically so that cars of different makes, tested at different times and localities, can be rated as to riding quality without making a d. rect comparison.

QUALITY OF 1928 ALASKA SALMON PACK IMPROVES
Federal Inspectors Say Cur rent Salmon Pack High
 CT Grade than Usual

The Q,iality Of the 1929 AlaNsssa salmon pack is better than usual, in the opinion of Inspectors A. w. Hansen and H. c. Moore, of the Seattle office of the Food, Drug and Insecticide Administration, says an official publication of the Unit ed States Department of Agricul- ture. This was their verdict after inspecting TT canneries in the Ter ritory during the season recently closing
 Two reasons are assigned by the inspectors for the improvement noted by them. "The present mod ern equipment for canning salmon has so increased the speed and capacity of the canneries as to materially reduce. the chances of the fish spelling on the cannery floors while waiting to be packed, as was frequently the case in former years.
 Changes in ownership of plants that occurred last year have re- suited in extending the control of the industry of certain large con- cerns which apparently realize the importance of putting out 0 quality product" it was said.

Army to Study Causes
 Of Forced Landings

WRIGHT FIELD, Ohio, Oct. 29. Forced landings, regarded by the army air corps as more annoying than serious, and heretofore not reported to headquarters unless serious damage or injury resulted, are to receive close scrutiny with a view to their elimination.
 Orders have been issued to air corps aviators that all forced land- ings, due to any cause, must be re- ported to air corps headquarters in Washington, with an analysis of the cause The reports will be as- sembled by the inspection division and studied in an effort to find 2 way to eliminate the causes.
 Air corps officials feel that there have been too many forced landings and that only a close study of the causes will bring about their elimi- nation.

INVESTMENT TRUSTS ARE CUSHION
 AGAINST VIOLENT STOCK REACTIONS
By WILLIAM R. KUHNS
 Financial Editor

Associated Press Feature Service)
 NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Investment trusts are strong hands in Wall Streets colorful vernacular.
 When stocks are in strong hands it means that they are held by in- dividuals and groups who have capital enough to live through sharp decline or series of them without dumping their securities wildly on the market.
 With investment trusts, each backed by millions in capital, con- ducting a bulk of the speculation, market authorities see less and less possibility of the bottom dropping out of the market.
 The birth of new trusts has be- come almost daily event. The is not confined to New York. From the Pacific coast and the middle west come frequent re- ports of the organization of invest illCllI u uoGo, idA SC, oilidi1 uiiet hiSdi- um. They represent every variety of financial activity from old fash toned holding companies to stock market pools.
 Their number in New York alone this year has doubled and there are now more than 400 actively engaged in stock market operations. They exercise a tremendous if not domi- nant influence on the market. The point that interests professional forecasters is that the bulk of listed securities is rapidly passing under the sure control of strong hands. .
 The general public constitute the weak hands" Brokerage house accounts testify to the fact that the public conducts it's speculative operations on dangerously thin mar gins.
 Consequently, with a large pro portion of stocks in the hands of small traders, a moderate decline might be enough to force wide spread liquidation. This in turn de- presses prices and catches more and more small margin traders as the decline gains momentum.

 Experiment station experts will be used to make studies in market ing just as has been done in inn proving production.
 Leaders believe that competing cooperatives should get together and eliminate the features that keep colleges from actively support ing them. They say the country needs a national agricultural pol icy to guide colleges in their ef- forts to aid farmers through CO., operative marketing instruction.
 When the colleges are united on a program of instruction in coop erative marketing, there is little doubt that farmers will support it.
