EXPERTS IN ACCORD.
ON APPORT|ONMENT
Senator vandenberg to Re-
introduce Bill. With Expec-
{ tation of Success.
Nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
Agreement of experts on the mathe-
NAUTICAL phases of the new reapportion-
ment bill was announced today by Sem
ator Vandenberg, Republican, of Mich
igan., sponsor of the proposal.
Vandenberg disclosed that the advis-
ory committee of the Census Bureau
has unanimously approved the bill, that
surviving members of the whole advis-
DRY committee of 1921 approved 1t and
that Director Steuart and his assistant,
DR.. Joseph A. Hill of the Census Bureau,
also subscribed to it. Disagreement Of
the experts was one of the obstacles
to passage of the House bill in the
Senate last session.
Experts Give Approval
"The results demonstrate" Vanden-
berg said. that the new bill will have
more powerful credentials than ever be-
fore because 1t viii have the endorse
ment of many experts who heretofore
have been split wide open in rival camps
in the war of the quotientS.
Among the experts said TO have voiced
approval were Prof. WaHer F. Wilcox
of Cornell University, Peof. Robert E.
Chaddock of Columbia University, Prof.
George Barnett of Johns Hopkins Uni
verSity and other members OF the Amer
lean Statistical Association and the
American Economics Association.
Vandenberg has been assured Of
action on the bill in the special session.
The new BILL Vandenberg said, will
closely follow the Fem bill, which
passed the House but failed of action
in the Senate. 1t will provide for au-
tomato reapportionment of the House
of Representatives after each census If
Congress fails to act independently. 1t
differs from the Fem bill, however, in
certain mechanical details, which Van
denberg said would make for perma-
nence."
One Important Change.
"The principal change" he explained
"abandons any specific definition of the
mathematical methods to be followed in
an automatic reapportionment. The
new bill calls for the methods in the
last apportionment. This permits the
measure to accommodate itself to what
ever serial decision Congress makes in
actual decennial appointments and
thus avoids temporary definitions in
permanent legislation.
IN my opinion, there will be no ra-
tional opposition left. The bill will be
devoid of controversial details which
ought to be settled on their merits in
each actual decennial apportiOnment."
Vandenberg said he would introduce
the bill at 1.-The first moment the Senate
Is ready to receive new legislation"

OPENS SCHOOL
Service Men and Shop
Foremen From All
Country Attend

Graham-Paige service managers
and shop foremen from all over the
country are to receive a course Of
training in a new service school
opeend by the Graham-Paige Motors
corporation at Detroit. Besides prac-
teal training in the best methods of
repairing and maintaining Graham
Paige cars, the classes will be
taught the most up-to-date systems
Of service station management.
The new school has been estab-
lished in the recently acquired and
remodeled buildings housing the fac
tory service department. It's equip
ment includes a Graham-Paige chas-
sis of each model, a complete set Of
bodies, and all individual mechanical
units, which the classes take part
and reassemble, learning the fac
tory's approved procedure for each
job. In addition, instruction is Civ
en- in the uses of the latest service
station equipment and special tools
designed for Graham-Paige service
work.
An important part Of the course is
a series of detailed studies Of man
ufacturing and assembling methods
at the Graham-Paige main plant,
Detroit, and ut the body plant at
Wayne. Mich.
Each class Is limited to fifty men,
and lasts two weeks. The school
will run continuously, drawing it's
members from ali over the United
States and Canada. W. J. Collier, Of
the factory service department, is
director of the school.

Sixty-five of the offenders drew
fines Of $1,000 to $4,000 for their
offeases. while 1i6 were reprimand-
ed. One hundred ninety-five cases
have come up for hearing since the
division was organized.
Charges included landing in un-
authorized sections. low flying over
congested areas, stunt flying with
passengers aboard, and carrying ex-
plosives.

With Too Much Dosing

While Flu is so prevalent every
one should take precautions to
prevent its further spread. Flu
is generally accompanied iy a
headache, burning eyeballs, and
aching joints. But it begins so
many times with just an ordi-
nary cold.
Too often, the colds are neg

the vitality and permitted the
lurking germs of influenza, or
pneumonia to get a foothold."
The only safe plan is to at
tack a cold at the very start. A
hot bath, a laxative, and a
vigorous application Of Vicks
VapoRub on the throat and
chest at bedtime, will usually
break up a cold overnight.
External Treatment Best

PREDICT GOOD
YEAR AHEAD
Cadillac Chief Says
Outlook Sound In
Business Review
BY LAWRENCE r. FISHER

On the 1929 business horizon both
opportunities and responsibilities
appear on a large scale than at any
time in our history.
A year ago we entered 1928 in a
spirit Of healthy confidence. Bush
ness growth during that year estab-
lished many new peak records. II
did more. 1t built up a reservoir OF
commercial resources from which
American business may draw an
even greater degree Of progress dur
ing 1929. If sound management pre-
walls and IL business remains free
from excuses, prospects for 1929 are
far better than they were in 1928.
The business attitude Of the coun-
try generally is one of confidence in
the future. This in itself Is a sound
economic asset. Actual business at
hand in the various departments Of
commerce., industry and finance,
stands at record volume.
While final figures for 1928 are
not yet available, present indications
are that the sound prosperity Of the
United States will be revealed in a
general review Of business conGi-
tons as marking "A new peak in auto
mobile output, output Of steel, vol
ume Of building. increase IN market
value of securities, per capita wealth
and an array Of balance sheets and
income accounts not equalled in q
previous year.
In the automobile industry alone,
the growth OF domestic consumption
and OF exports abroad should COM
bine TO produce a higher peak thar
even the high recodr Of 1928.
All Of these factors in our purely
domestic business situation are
highly favorable. There is, however,
an ever-grownig Importance in the
INTERPRETATION between the economic
conditions of all the nations OF the
world. The present era OF prosperi-
~ here was ushered in with the de-
velopment Of the motor car. Other
nations are Just beginning TO realize
its value: and use of motor cars
abroad IN nov III the same phase ~
IL was here twenty years ago.
Nations recovering from effects or
the World war are better off today
than mt any time since the declara-
ton or peace. They have greater
buying owe Their increasing use
az motor cars will add 70 their own
prosperity and will further contrib
ute 20 our ovn. J.
In the United States we have at
hand the greatest amount Of bust
ness and possibilities IN
our history. With these opportuni-
ties we have also the greatest re-
sponsibilities.
The year should be viewed not as
a "cashing-in" period but rs q time
for laying the foundation for a Pc
Rod az many years OF prosperity.
The business principles which we
employ this year will be a factor n
the economical welfare OF the next
generation. IL will be a time Tor =
combination Of great conservatism
in management with the most pro-
gressive policy in our history and
the business world will be watching
the results.

teal with an AC feed. Their succees
is indicated by the fact that they are
ready to talk about results.
Working on the theory that the
cathode heater is necessary in the
funetioning Of this tube OF house
current, they have made q valve
similar in appearance TO the 222
but considerably different in intern
al construction. Its principal duties
are the prevention Of oscillation in
RI circuits with no outside assist
ance and at high amplification.
The tube has five prongs, with q
cap at the top for the grid lead. Its
heater requires 2.5 volts nj LIS
amperes. Maximum plate voltage is
$50 and that Of the screen grid rs,
Plate current drain is 4 milli-am-
peres. The control or input grid has
a negative bias Of is volts, while
in some circuits n nine-volt bias in
the chatter lead is an asset in hum
reduction.
A high amplification factor OF
420 is accredited 10 the tube. In
actual use it will deliver a signal
20 to 30 times greater than the cola.
Its plate resistance is a megohm,
with the grid to plate capacity at
the extremely low girEe of .0l micro
microfarad.
To get the utmost from the tube,
tuned circuits designed particularly
for it are required. Careful shielding
and filters in all leads entering the
stage are important.
The tube may be used as a de-
tector either with grid leak or grid
bias. For most efficient detection.
the screen grid voltage is from 25
TO 40.
The new output tube is described
as an improved lila, with an undis-
torted power output Of 1.6 watts,
compared with Z watt for the lila
and n watts for the 210. Its plate
voltage is much lower than the 2l0,
being ESQ maximum with a grid
voltage Of so. The 210 requires $50
volts plate, while the limit for the
lila Is $50.
The filament is the rugged raw
AC type to be operated on 2.5 volts
at is amperes. Its application
factor is 3.5 and ID has a plate re-
sistance of 1000 ohms. II is the
same size as the 2l0. being intended
for use only in the last audio stage
where it will give large u~ndistorted
volume. The ventilation require
ments to prevent overheating are
similar to those for the 2l0.
Neither tube will be ready for
several months. the output valve
about April 1, and the screen grid
some time after that date.

FORD GLASSES
Were Adopted AS A
Safeguard In Case
OF Accidents

When the new Model A Ford auto
mobile was being designed, one Of
the factors which was given most
careful attention was that Of build
ing into the car every possible safe
guard against accidents.
One Of the most striking discov-
cries III the analysis OF automobile
accidents was that 65 per cen of all
the injuries resulting from motor
car accidents were being caused by
flying glass. The analysis also
showed that in the great majority
Of cases the dangerous pieces OF
glass came from the windshield Of
the car.
So Henry Ford and his staff decid-
ed that the windshields Of the new
Model "A Fords should be Of shatter-
proof glass. The best shatterproof
glass made was selected and speci-
fled as standard equipment for all
Model A Ford windshields. The Ford
Motor company installed in its "
glass plants TO make Triplex, shat
terproof glass and secured the man
ufacturing rights and today thou
sands OF shatterproof Ford wind
shields are made daily in Ford fac
tories.
The process OF making this glass
is n Of the most interesting and
newest developments in the automo-
tive field. The windshields are
made Of two sheets OF fine glass,
sealed together, under high pressure,
by a layer Of crystal-clear material
Of eellulose base which holds the
glass together in case it In cracked
or broken by impact. Repeated tests
have shown hat not even the small
est particles OF glass from these
windshields can break loose and fly
when they are struck the heavy
blows that so frequently cause seri-
Gus injury 10 driver and passengers.

CROWDED,

However, No Drastic
Action Is Being

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. (1 -
While members OF the federal radio
commission and its engineers are
ronvinced that theoretically perfect
Inception cannot be attained with the
resent large number Of broadcastinR
stations, any sweeping elimination Of
broadcasters is not contemplated
In n letter to broadcasters Of the
Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
states. Commissioner Harold Lafount
said the great number Of stations in
the country il impairinT radio recep-
tion. Il said six months ( that
there were too many stations and
am still Of that opinion" he said. II
believe the character of reception the
public wants, and should have, u
not be secured until the number of
stations is greatly reduced
Members Of the commission de-
clare. however. they do not plan
wholesale removal or stations. In
dividual b~roadcasters, who fail 70
obey orders of the commission or
give no public service, will lose
their licenses but stations will not
be eliminated without good cause,
they say.
There are now about els stations
Operating on SO channels. The
commission realizes that division OF
time on the air. geographical spacing
and varying power allotments will
not completely eliminate interior
ence. The commission believes, how
ever. that with the exception Of . few
bad spots in the country letters from
listeners indicate the general stu
alton is satisfactory.
The commission intends 70 be more
strict in the future in requiring sta
tons to operate on their assigned
frequency and power. The present
regulation permits a deviation Of
one-half kilocycle from the assigned
frequency. This allowable deviation
probably will be reduced in the near
future, Mr.. Lafount says.
