There can be no doubt Of the value. Of the

short it is TO be, he goes over his airplane with
great care. He makes sure that every part is in
perfect condition.
When a train stops after q long run you win

The station mechanics make similar tests Of the

1t is Common practice to run the automobile
into a garage now and again TO have it looked
over. Simple tests are made to determine its
condition.
All these things are done with machines. Why
