WIND WHISTLE HORN By Mary Graham Bonner

I've turned the time ahead this evening" the Little Black Clock said, and we're going to have c ride in an airplane.
 ITO be sure, airplanes were popu- lar long before this time, but we're going to have special kind of trip"
 John and Peggy got into the plane, and they took off from their own roof.
 How different everything looked They went over such tall, tai buildings.
 What we used to call skyscrap- CTS were really just little bits oi buildings" John said.
 Peggy could hardly believe that the buildings were real. They al- most seemed to her to be like g kind of fairyland, with tower; reaching way up into the clouds
 The traffic in the air was very heavy and the funniest thing was that people blew horns to show that they were passing others just as in the old days people blew auto mobile horns.
 What I wanted you to hear par ticularly was the horn on this plane" the Little Black Clock asid and they listened while the pilot from time to time blew his horn.
 Ut sounds like the wind whis- ting" John said.
 Good guess" said the Little Black Clock. This horn is called the wind whistle horn It makes sound very much like the wind whistling, but can be heard very well. Besides, it has deep blow ing noise like a horn, too, so it's the ideal kind to have on plane"
 How quickly everybo ody flew through the air!
 People are in such a rush these days" the Little Black Clock said.
 That was what my father said when we used to go riding in the car" John remarked.
 T guess people will always say it." the Little Black Clock answered.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY BREAK
 DOWN.

The New York Times thinks President Hoover is a wonderful executive but clumsy and prob- ably weak party leader. It elements of states manship in the Presidents conduct of his office Particularly is it pleased with his performances in preventing a breakdown in business and industry following the stock market debacle. But, it con- tends he has been unable to prevent the break down of his party. There evidences that it is going to pieces in many sections of the country and it has completely collapsed in the United States Senate If this is to be patched up in time to give the Administration majority in the next Senate and House, the Times thinks President Hoover will have to show greater political leader ship than he has yet displayed.
 In friendly tone the Times sums the situation up this way
 When we turn from the White House to
 the Capitol we pass from efficiency to d-
 vided counses and barren manoeuvres. It
 is the discovered Republican Party the ap
 parent impossibility of uniting 1t so as to
 make it an effective agent of Government
 by party, which is the disqueting thing. The
 decay of political party usually sets in
 gradually almost unperceived. But the signs
 of the Republican breakdown were long
 ago visible They should have been taken
 into reckoning by MT. Hoover and those
 who persuaded him to call the special ses-
 sion. The condition of the party it
 emerged from the Presidential election,
 one which plainly called for patience and
 time to heal differences But the issue was
 forced prematurely and unnecessarily, with
 the result that all the world the
 unhappy confusion and division into which
 Republican control has fallen.
 No doubts that Mir Hoover is keenly
 aware of this and of it's perils severe testing of his leadership lies before him

HEADLIGHT ENEMY 0F RUM RUNNERS
New Auto Device Spots Heavily
 Loaded Liquor Trucks

Schenectady, N. Y. March e5 P>- A new type of non-glare autom obile headlight is helping state police in this vicinity to catch night rum run Eers.
 With this light the officers can see the springs of trucks, getting a closeup just before the instant of passing that reveals whether the truck carries an extra heavy load. Springs unduly flattened are likely to draw a chase.
 Use of the lights excites no spe- cial suspicion, because the lamps in appearance are ordinary equipm ent. Their beam is crescent shaped, lying face downward over the road, and so wide that its bright rays cover the full width of road and ditches on both sides. from the front wheels to a distance of more than 25O feet ahead. It illuminates fields for 50 feet on each side. It requires no changing of beams or brilliance, as than waist high. Above that is diffused illumination.
 Projecting forward from the lamp housings about an inch. lenses with edges sanded to give frosted effect give light for reading of road signs and for recognizing persons in pass ing cars at right angles to travel. The lenses distribute light ] degrees backward from the lamps.
New Britain herald., 1929-03-25

The effects come mainly from q new type of reflector. designed bs Dr. Walter Darcy Ryan, director of the Illuminating liboratary of the General Electric company.
 Although the reflector resembles the conventional shape somewhat carrying the bulb in the middle of the eoncave. it is modified 50 that the maximum rays for the longest range GO not come out of the center as in ordinary practice. Instead all Of them are projected from the top, coming from under the broWs of the housing.
 This effect is obtained from 19 curves in the surface Of the reflector, no two alike. and each accurate to within one thousandth of an inch.
 Illuminating engineers, Dr. Ryan says. can save a definite proportion of the 25.0OO lives lost annually in automobile accidents by teaching the public headlight consciousness, He says there are two headlight fac tions, one favoring a dual system, and the other. like himself. advocat- ing "a single beam having all the advantages of long range beam for distance and short range beam for spread. without the disadvantages Of either as applied to the dual system. v

If you'd like 10 make a confes- sion, Miss Manning - though l don't mind telling you the case is pretty complete without it-I'il take you now to the district attor- | ney's office. Otherwise-remand you to jail-preliminary hearing await action of the grand jury-' "The district attorneys office? ?" The lovely voice quivered with dis may, and the great eyes sought Ruth's, appealing. I'm willing to make a full confession-oh. not just willing. want to tell-for the peace of my soul. but can't r. make my statement here? Miss Lester is an expert stenographer. l want it to be over quickly. among my-friends." And those tragic eyes flashed a glance of gratitude and affection toward Jack Hayward who stood beside her, his arm about Ruth Lester's shoulders.
 "We-ell. if you won't try to re- pudiate it later" McMann con- ceded.
 "I shall not repudiate anything tell you now. for it will be the whole truth" Martha Manning as- sured him quietly. ~But-if you don't mind, I'd rather-this girl" and her eyes flicked their first mal- ice at Rita Dubois.

was reading the afternoon paper As she entered
he looked up.
HAS Johnny gomez" he inquired. His hand
some face still wore an ugly scowl Betty
nodded.
Wasn't that game awful this afternoon?"
Dave went on. Did you ever see such luck?
He had three net rolls in the last two games"
"Oh for goodness sake, Dave!" cried Betty.
"Can't you give Johnny little credit? He
beat you fairly, just because he played better
game than you. Why can't you admit it?"
With an angry snort. Dave turned back to
his paper And if Betty had felt any doubt
about the wisdom of that course that she and
Johnny had decided to take, those doubts were
now removed. Nevertheless she felt rather ap-
prehensive when her brother left after dinner
for the meeting of the tennis club, and she
waited anxously for his return.
She was seated in the living room when he
came back, and one glance at his face told hr
the story. Seeing her in the room, he strobe
in and planted himself before her.
Betty" he said ominously. IT don't want
you to have Johnny Albert around this house
again, ever. Understand? He's low. dirty
traitor and don't want ever to see him again"
Betty's face flushed hotly. "I1l have Johnny
around here as much as please, Dave Shaded"
she cried. And he's the incest boy I know.
What do you mean calling him such things?"
do you know what he did?" cried Dave, his
face working angrily. Hes got the club to
suspend me! A fine friend he is! He's just
jealous because I'm a better player than he is"
Betty could not trust herself to speak. Dave
turned and left the room. but a moment later
returned
when are the folks planning to leave for
Lake Cameron" he inquired.
Sunday Monday" said Betty shortly.
Fine" cried Dave. ct can't get away from
this town bit too SOON"

was going to Lake Cameron with the rest of

talked excitedly in low tones. There
on the white-lined rectangle before
them the impossible was happening,
and they were lucky enough to be witnessing
1t. AS the two players on the court fought
grimly over the final points OF the SET the
watchers were careful not to miss a single
stroke. Dave, Shade was being beaten!
Dave Shade was far and away the best young
tennis player in the CITY, He had won every
tournament in two years. and hadn't lost a set
so far this season. But now the games were
five to three against him, and an inspired OPP
ponent would not be denied. Across the court
from Dave, Johnny Albert his best friend, set
himself to serve again. The ball whstled over
the net like bullet. Dave drove it back to
Johnny'S feet and rushed to the net, but Johnny
made brilliant pickup, lobbing the ball over
Dawes head to the base line. The point, the
game and the set were won and Dave Shade,
pride of the tennis club, had tasted defeat.
With delighted little cry, Johnny ran to
the net.
'Well, I did it, Davel" he said with a grin.
ST finally beat you. How does it feel to lose,
for a changer"
Dawes face was black with anger. He turned
away from his friend then said over his shoul-
der, st don't see what you have to crow about.
I couldn't beat luck like you were having today.
And don't feel set up. You'll never beat me
again in hundred years"
Johnnys smile fled from his face and flush
slowly mounted in its place. Silently he watched
his friend walk away from him, pick up a
sweater and his racket press and stalk from
the court. Then with sigh, Johnny turned
and walked to the sde-lines. There a young
girl was sitting, and her pretty face now wore
a puzzled frown Silently Johnny picked up
his sweater, and walked away from the court
beside the girl He paid little attention to the
admiring comments of the spectators who had
witnessed his victory.
For some distance he walked along beside the
girl, neither speaking. Finally she broke the
silence.
whats the matter, johnny" she inquired.
"What did that brother of mine say to you?
Was he mad because you beat him?"
Johnny nodded grinly, then turned to Betty
Shade with troubled smile.
1T don't know what we're going to do with
Dave, Betty" he said. Hes your brother and
he's my friend, and hate to say it about him,
but he's simply rotten sport. Just Think
That's the first time I've ever beaten him. and
he couldn't take it with a grin. Everybody
knows that I'm not in it with him as tennis
player. I'm cratic, and today just happened
to be playing better than know how"
"You were wonderful" cried Betty enthusiast
tically. "Your drive was simply great
eyes, but what satisfaction is there in win
ming when fellow takes it like Dave does?
can't understand him. He's such prince in
