FANCY CRAFT

The No. 10000 was constructed by the govern
ment and quite a controversy arose at the time it
was being built.
1t bears the insignia OF the president OF the United
States. and is luxuriously furnished. 1t has a capac-
ity Of 81 people. including the crew of four.
The launch is constructed OF white cedar plank.
The deck is spruce, and the frame is Of white oak.
The cabins are paneled with mahogany. The seats
and side ladders ere distinguished by hand carving
Silver plating enhances the beauty Of the craft. The
seats are Of real leather, and beautiful cushions are
scattered around.
The after-cabin Qor guests is finished in duralu-
min an aluminium alloy. 1t is the type Of material
used in the construction Of the Graf Zeppelin.
CREW OF FOU
It's crew is composed Of four men. The coxswain
is in command. The other three are the engineer and
the bow and stern hookmen.
The craft was built in the navy yards at New York
and designed by the naval bureau Of construction
and repair.
Its sister. the No. 1o.oel. was constructed at the
same time, and was assigned to the commander-i in
chief Of the battle fleet. This one, however. is by
no means as luxuriously QUILTED as the presidents
craft.
With the Mayflower decommiSsioned in the navy
yards at Philadelphia, the No. 10000 bids fair to rival
its parent In popularity during the Hoover admins

Horse-racing is a game OF chance conducted en-
tirely by ear and designed to prove that q man viii
believe anything he hears in a whisper.
1t is a red-hot form OF speculation conceived in
rumor, reared on false information and dedicated TO
the proposition that all men are created gullible. 1t Is
the one sport in which anybody will swallow anything
provided the news comes soto voice.
Tell a man that Dorothy Gish is a cinch to whip
Jack Dempsey, that the Rutgers eleven can't miss
against Yale, or that One-Eyed Connolly Is q sure
bet to defeat Hoover in the next election and he will
chase YOU out Of the office. But put your hand to
your lips and hiss that Three-Legged Jane is q sure
thing to beat Blue Larkspur in a stake race and he
will welcome all the misleading details and cry for
more.
There is something about two or more horses run
ming around a circle carrying midgets in gay silk
blouses that makes a man believe in Aesop, Kris
Kringle, the gold-pot at the end Of the rainbow, fairy
godmothers and pearls in oysters.
The average man will cross-examine you sternly

1t is the Sport OF Kings, but 1t is supported by the
Jacks. Deuces and Jokers. All you have to have TO

The racing addict may doubt the story Of Genesis,
the law Of gravitation and the Einstein theory, but
he believes with all sincerity that all horses I'M
attached to wagons are charity workers and that the
big idea back Of thoroughbred breeding Is to provide
new shoes for baby.
Nowhere else in the world can as much c~redibility
be found within a given area as at a r~ace-track and
under no other conditions can as many wrong guesses
find a receptive audience in a isngle afternoon.
Tips from prosperous appearing spectators are
welcome at any track. but the great bulk Of popular
information comes from strangers needing a shave,
a hair cut and new heels.
1t never seems to dawn on a racing bug that he
can get just as much reliable information listening to
a leaking tire or the murmer from an electric fan.
It's a great pastime, but you can't look on without
wondering why the customers aren't in the stalls
eating the hay. and the horses out on the lawn wear

Unevenness Removed
By New Hudson
DSvice

Although Hudson engineers have
for years paid special attention to
smoothing out the flow Of power as
1t issues from the engine and is
passed, through flywheel, clutch,
drive shaft, universal joints, ETC., to
the rear drive, they have this year
contrived to crown their efforts
with a device that removes the last
remaining tendency TO unevenneSs
that might develop in long contin-
ued driving.
The new continuance Is incorpo-
rated in the cork-studded clutch
plate and Is, rather aptly, called q
"torSion neutralizer." The neutral
izer gives the clutch plate a two
unit construction, the two units be-
ing made inter-acting through the
medium Of small spiral springs
which not only absorb the shocks
OF starting and sudden stopping, but
in addition smooth out such tor
sional or power impulses, ordinarily
communicated to the transmission
and final drive.

Automobile needs will force this
country to spend on the average
at least twice as much money for
road Improvement during the next
Is years as was spent In 1923. This
is the forecast of T. r. Agg. pro-
fessor of highway engineering at
Iowa State college.
In a recent issue Of the Engineer
ing News Record, Professor Agg
points out that the inevitable in
creased highway expenditures must
or should come from these sources:
Increased federal aid.
Increased taxes on heavier We
hicles.
Increase in the gas tax with five
cents per gallon as the maximum
this money to be used entirely for
state and interstate roads.
State taxes TO supplement local
taxes for local roads
Increase in the use OF bonds,
these to be retired after the high
way systems have reached the
stage where new construction will
decline.
Use Of special assessments and
excess condemnation where marked
increases in property values will re-
suit from improvement projects.

RUNWAY

Concrete Built Type
Pioneered In BY
Henry Ford

DETROIT, Feb. 23.-With the
dedication or the first concrete air.
port runway in America sc Ford
Airport, Henry Ford became a pio-
reer in highways for airplaneS just
as, twenty years ago, as q member
or the original Wayne county road
commission. he pioneered the first
concrete highway for automobiles In
this country.
The Ford Airport runway. half a
mile long and rs feet wide. IS the
first of several to be installed at
that port, at which Is located the
factory where five and six ton air
liners are manufactured.
Today'S dedication was n feature
OF the American Concrete Instt-
tute's annual convention. Over 200
engineer delegates from the entire
country participated in the cere-
monies during which short speech
es were delivered by VIM. II. Stout,
designer OF the Fcrd-Stout air
planes. and Edward D.. Boyer. pres
ident OF the Concrete Institute.
Increasing weight OF large, pas
senger carrying planes points def
nitely toward the general adoption
OF concrete runways." said Mr..
Stout. These big planes must have
smooth, hard surfaces. especially to
facilitate speedy and safe take-offs.
Five and six tons of fast moving
machinery cannot rely on ordinary
field surfaces. Uniform smoothness
and durability are essential. I con-
fidentiy look forward TO the general
adoption of concrete runways in
airports throughout the country"
Mr.. Stout arrived by plane from
Battle Greek, Mich, just before the
ceremony.
1T Is natural that this new de-
velopment In aviation should oriRi-
nate In Wayne county" said Mr..
Boyer. "for Ii was here. in 1909.
that the first mile Of concrete high
way vas put down. And since that
time the county has kept well to
the fore in HIGHWAY Development.
