NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-BecauSe
of the ancient inhabitants of MeSo-
potamia as the earliest and greatest
students of the stars is called in
question by Professor Eckhard
Unger of the University of Berlin,
who states that they have paid a
great deal more attention to mete-
rology than they did to astronomy.
They even laid out their compass
according to the winds rather than
according to the stars, he declares.
The Babylonian temples and city
streets were not oriented ON a north
south and east-west system, as
most human WORKS have always
been, he states. The cardinal points
of the Bapylonian compass were the
quarters" of ours; northwest,
northeast, southeast and southwest.
These directions agreed with the
prevailing winds. The northwest
wind brought clear, dry, lsracing
weather, and was known as the
favorable wind" The northeast

wind was called the mountain
wind" because it blew chill from the
Asiatic mountains. The southeast
wind, blowing up from the Gulf of
Persia, brought damp and drizzly
weather; the Babylonians did not
like it and called it the cloud
wind" The wind they most dreaded,
however, came from the southwest,
from out the desert, bringing burn
ing Standstorms. They called this
the storm wind"
When they laid out their cities on
the rivers, Professor Unger says,
they did not adapt the street di-
rections of the stream, but rigidly
stuck to their wind-compass, facing
their walls to the four cardinal
points as they conceived them and
the corners of the city to the cardi-
nal points as we know them. They
even carried their meteorological
notions into the heavens, and di-
vided the moon into quarters which
they named after the earthly winds.

ESSEX SOUNDS
CHALLENGE TO
MOTOR WORLL
Speed and Great Power in
1929 Product of Hud-
son Company.

While the new Essex, the lower
priced of the two cars built by Hud-
son Motor Car Company, is tagged
with list of seventy-six different
mechanical and body improvements,
the makers lay so much stress on
the cars outstanding performance
that the new issue has been given
the official name of Essex the
Challenger"
There is speed-seventy miles
and more-and abundant power, be-
cause the output of the motor has
been increased "a per cent, to an
actual 55-horse power.
Among the changes to which the
greater speed and power are due are
a larger bore, higher compression,
increased valve lift, new cylinder
head, improved valve timing, new
location of spark plugs, new lubri-
cation system, larger radiator. new
type cooling fan, new muller, higher
gear ratio of the final drive and
other features.
New Bearings Used
Development of the power plant
to an engine delivering f1fty-1ve
horsepower mas led to the adoption
of new main and connecting rod
bearings of new design, for which
patent applications are pending. In
the improved main bearings the
lower half is without the conyen-
tional fabrication grooves and in the
connecting rod bearings the upper
halves are ungrooved.
On the other hand, the upper
main bearings and the lower con-
Meeting rod bearings are grooved in
provides copious fabrication, in spite
of the fact that the bearings them
selves are adjusted with closer
clearances than are common prac-
tice.
Also, through the adoption of a
new Marvel carburetor, with two
heat controls, adjustments for tenn
perature and climatic changes, ETC.,
the gasoline consumption is said to
be still lower than before.
Steering Gear Changed
Eseex the Challenger now comes
with a new steering gear, adjust
able for the drivers height and
operating on roller bearings
throughout the entire mechanism.
A new four wheel brake system has
been provided. 1t is of the two
shoe type, completely covered. Mold
ed composition blocks are used in
stead of textile Innings, and brake
adjustment can be made without
tools.
Seven body types are furnished
roadster, phaeton, coupe, convert
IDLE coupe, coach, standard sedan,
and town sedan. The convertible
coupe and the town sedan are new
corners to the Essex line.
The general impression given by
the new body, hood and fender
lines is one of bigness and power.
