PETER THE HERMIT REMAINS
UNIQUE HOLLYWOOD CHARACTER

sculptors who were drawn to HOl-
lywood have attempted to do Peter
in oils or stone. He accommodated
very few.
y few years ago Peter claimed
he was promised part i'll a film
which later went to Rod La Rogue.
The hermit sued for $150,000 but
the case never came to court. This
appeared to be the one time in
Peters life he wanted big role in
the movies and he retired in anger
TO his hills after the unhappy end
ing.
The aged mamie is so years old
-appcars contented with his sim
pie life His animal pets adore him
and Peters chief objection 80 tour
lists who sometimes visit his home
is that they frighten his pets.
Peter has lived on real estate
worth millions of dollars today. 1t
was practically worthless when he
first came to the hills in Laurel
CANYON, now one of Hollywood s
most exclusive sections. The her
nit first pitched his camp near the
bottom. As the film folk made for
tunes and built mansions on the
slopes of the canyon he was forced
to retreat.
The old man is a vegetarian and
has philosophy about God of ma
turc who keeps him well and strong.

DODGE BROTHERS
TESTING PINIONS
BY new SYSTEM

4 new system of testing piston
rings, said to be the most complete
and advanced known to the auto
mobile industry, has just been in
stalled by Dodge Brothers.
Each ring, before it is sent to the
production line is subject to a ser
les of tests. One gauge measures the
thickness, which must comply with
precise specifications so that the
ring is free to turn in the piston
groove and thus prevent what are
called "blow-bys." Other devices
known as the eight test" and the
"iquid test" detect the slightest
deviation from perfect roundness.
Still another measures the amount
of "wall pressure" or in other words
the ability of the piston ring to
seal the force of the power eXplo-
sion and at the same time prevent
lubricating oil getting INTO the com
bustion chamber to increase carbon
deposit and foul plugs. The same
gauge that checks wall pressure al
so measures the gap between the
ends of the ring so that wnen 1t IS
inserted with the piston in the cyl
inder there will be not less than
seven thousandths of an inch clear
ance nor more than - thousandths.
Too large again it is explained, will
cause seepage and too small a
gap is liable to make the ring
"bucklc,' setting up a source Of
constant annoyance to the owner OF
the car.
Another important test used by
Dodge Brothers to determine the fit
ness of piston rings is called the
gauge for flatness. This is simple
looking device consisting of two
blocks of tool steel hardened and
ground and separated from each
other by washers, leaving space
Of two and one-quarter thousandths
of an inch over the high limit OF

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Aug. so.
UP. hollywood resolved quite a
shock one night not SO long ago
when tie police picked up an old
man living on sidewalk and an
rounccd that Peter the Hermit was
dead.
The Wins would go OH without
Peter the Hermit but there are
many old timers i'm Hollywood WHO
feel the place would not be the
same if Peter, barcfo3ted and with
is shaggy white beard flowing to
the winds. was not seen once in ii
while on the streets.
Hours after the word had gone
around that Peter Lad passed on it
was found that the aged man in the
morgue was a double of the famous
character. Peter was hale and hap
pv far up in the hills back of Holly

the piston ring The rings are drop
ped through the space between the
two blocks. If they are perfectly
flat they drop through easily. 9th
erwisc they become lodged between
the blocks and are rejected.
The light test resembles the meth
cd used by the cgg-candler in grad
ing eggs for market. The rings are
inserted in a perfect circle CORES
ponding to the exact dimensions OF
, the cylinder bore located on top of
a wooden box encasing an electric
light. If the ring is perfectly round
all means of the light escaping are
sealed The most infinitesimal flaw
permits light to penetrate exposing
the extent and location Of the de
feet.
The LIQUID test is used for check
ing the two top rings of each piston,
which are not slotted. Again the
rings are inserted in circle the
exact duplicate in dimensions of the
cylinder bore. Compressed air is
forced through small slots extend
inc around the inside of the circle.
When the ring is inserted it will, II
perfectly round, completely shut off
the flow of compressed air through
the slots. The back pressure Of the
air forces a fluid encascd in glass
tube to rise to the prescribed read
ing, indicating tEat the piston ring
is 100 per cent round. If the ring
is the slightest bit out Of round,
the escaping air reduces the amount
Of back pressure and the fluid will
fall short Of the required height in
the tube.
Adequate and accurate methods
Of gauging the requisite qualities OF
piston rings, according to Dodge
Brothers production experts, has
long been a difficult problem for
the automobile industry. The de
vclopment and perfection of the
system used in the Dodge plant,
they state, required years of CON
stant study and TIE outlay of con-
siderable sum Of money.

GYPSY HOFFMAN
REAL BOOSTER
FOR CHEVROLET

This is the saga uf \. =. Holman
% years of age, confirmed motor
gypsy, genial adyenturcr aad bach
clor, for which he j, admittedly
much obliged. Gypsy Holman has
visited virtually every state in the
Union. has owned four Chevrolet
ears, driven total Of moro than
10000 miles in the past three or
four years and has spent less than
$l00 for tires and ru-or repairs in
that time.
He has pitched camp in the heart
Of Terra lIaute. Indiana, where
some Of the main business streets
converge; chinned with the movie
queens Of Hollywood and made
them like it; had his car turned over
by wild motorist in Sweet Springs,
Missouri, and has had inuumerable
o n er interesting experiences
throughout this country and Can
ada.
"The first car | ever owned was
a Chevrolet. ! bought il for cash
in 1926, > says Gypsy Holman. "Af-
ter the salesman showed me how to

explains.
Despite his strict adherence 10
this rigid "diet," Gypsy Holman
is not at all emaciated. In fact he
is the picture of health and vigor.
"My Chevrolet ears actually are
keeping me Young,' he SAYS. 81

Gypsy recently purchased new
Chevrolet Six coach and is taking
delivery of his car in Flint, Mich,
where the principal Chevrolet fac
tory is located. lie will drive his
car back west over the Southern
route, through California. lie will
have another opportunity to make
chin music with "'thcm movin
pitcher gals in Hollywood.
The total purchase price of lloh-
mans four new Chevrolet automo-
biles was 1880 exactly. In each
case he has had the advantage Of
the excellent tradc-in value of
Chevrolet and as a result has en-.
ioyed four new motor ears for which
he paid approximately the price 4
one ear in the mcdium-priced class.
These ears have given him perfect
service, comfort and performance,
he says. They have carried him
many times across the continent
and while doing it have lightcned
the weight of years on his shoul-
ders.

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-02-15

U.S.S.R., Jaroslavl, the factory
"Krasny Ferecop:"
A letter for the Gastonia textile
workers:
Dear Comrades:
We send you greetings from our
Workers and Farmers Republic. We
are now entering into the thirteenth
year of workers rule of one-sixth
Of the worlds surface, and the sec
ond year of our realization of the
Five Year Plan Of building social
ism.
Under the guidance of the Com
munist Party and under the rule of
the Soviet Power, we grew in
strength. At present many textile
factories and other works are con-
structed all over the Soviet Union,
and we are getting rid of unemploy-
ment. At the same time large
houses for workers themselves and
nurseries for workers children are
built. A working mother, going to
her work, leads her children to a
nursery and she is quite sure that
her children will be in security.
We, workers of textile industry,
work seven hours a day. We have
possibilities to spend our leisure
time Gree from work. at the clubs
and the red corners. We have still
many adult workers who are illite-
rate. The revolution gave them a
possibility to learn. To be literate
is very attractive for them, and
they learn to read and write in or
der to be capable to take part in
political life. Our government gives
large sums for this purpose.
You know that for the imperial
government it was better and more
profitable to keep workers in state
of ignorance, but now it is quite
another thing. In our textile fac
tory there are $4,000 workers.
Before the revolution it belonged
to a manufacturer, Rokzinkin, anc
now it is managed by the Supreme
Council of Public Economy. Now
our comrade director accounts to the
workers. In his accounts he in
forms us about the work done ir
the factory and about the profit
made by it. Much money is spent
for the protection of labor and the
safety first appliances.
In dangerous places, machines anc
looms are inclosed in order that g
worker may not be exposed to ar
accident.
Now a few words about religion
