On the above data Avian Macauley,
president Of the National Automobile

Packard Motor Car Co., has attested
the automobile industry to be the coun.

and one Of the most important yiscessi.

ayers from many countries Of the world
to Detroit for q conference. II was
shown then that the scope OF the export
field comprised l04 nations; that the
market abroad covers seven and one
half times as much territory as the
market In the United States. Besides

OF the future prospect in this direc-
ton, James b. Mooney. vice presiden,
in charge Of export operations for Cen
eral Motors, believes that q commercial
awakening Is coming to the rest Of the
world. Returning from a recent trip
through the Orient. he said he found
two factors encouraging TO American
business men looking toward the export
field for signs that win quicken the
recovery from the retardation Of late
1899.
One, he pointed out. Is the essential
basic likeness Of the peoples Of all lands
The other is the rapid trend toward the

This conclusion, voiced by numerous
major executives Of the industry since
IN forecasts that have been made on
the business prospects of this year and

Not only the predictions but the sta

Relationship Revealed.
Compilations made by the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce and
broadcast as oflcial reveal the real re.
lationship Of transport to other busi-
ness. The wholesale value Of cars and
trucks produced last year rose to
$3,483, 900 900. For parts and acceSSo-
ries, used for replacement and also
service equipment. the value was $780,
900, 900. The value of tires for replace
ment was $600,000,000
To other countries America sold
100000 motor vehicles. with parts
and tires these were estimated TO be
worth $757 400, 900, an. increase Of 23
per cent over the preceding year.
In the production of last year the
automobile industry consumed S5 per
cent Of all the rubber manufactured In
the United States, 81 per cent Of ell
the plate glass, 10 per cent Of the iron
and steel, IS per cent Of the copper,
10 per cent Of the lumber and hard
wood, AZ per cent Of the lead and 80
per cent of the gasoline.
It took 2S7.o00,000 barrels Of gasoline
TO run the cars last year. Crude rubber
used for tires totaled 913, 800, 900 pounds
Cotton fabric used for the same purpose
weighed 49,, 000, 900 pounds.
The number OF motor vehicles regis
tered in this country at the beginning
Of 1880 was 26,40O 900, recording O gain
Of per cent in IL months.
The motor vehicle and allied lines
now give employment to 4,300, 900 per-
sons within our borders.

M|LE-LONGTUBE
TESTS SPEED
Of LIGHT
Scientist, II, Who Derived CAL
CuIation of 1e6,2e4 Feet a
Second, to Correct Error

SANTA ANA. Calf, June 8
U.S9.-For a year the scientific
world has been awaiting compile
ton of the curious, mile-long
vacuum tube just outside Santa
Ana, with which Prof. Albert A,
Nicholson, physicist, is to conduct
his final, corrective tests Of the
Speed of light.
This week will see the prelimi.
nary work accomplished.
Today, unoer supervision OF
A. M. Beebe of the Mount Wilson
Conservatory staff, force of men
will begin hooking up the last link
of the tube.
Soon after June Is, when Prof
Nicholson arrives from Chicago,
will begin a strange series of ex.
periments.
An Infinitesimal Error
Released from an electric arc,
q beam of light will flash, rabbit
like, back and forth through the
long, airless tube.
Reflected, refracted and de.
flected by a series of mirrors, it
will continue to dash to and fro
nightly under the coldly vigilant
eyes Of Prof. Nicholson and as
SiStant scientists.
Finally, if the experiments are
successful, the world of science
will know whether DR.. Michel.
sons calculation that light travels
186.284 miles a second is correct.
There is said to be an error
of less than one hundredth Of
one per cent in the calculation.
an error too infinitesimal for the
: laymen mind to comprehend. but
as such small errors mean much
to the human race and future
industries, the Chicago scientise
will seek to correct it as his
final contribution" to human
knowledge.
Mirrors Speed Beam
Resting on a series of wooden
cradles four feet above the
ground, the tube is constructed
of metal piping, three feet in di-
ameter.
At each end is a slightly con-
caved mirror, 40 inches in di-
ameter.
Between these two mirows. about
midway of the airless passage,
are two other mirrors. one 20
inches in diameter and the other
3 inches.
1t is between these mirrors the
beam of light will race, but the
method of introducing it into the
tube is even more complicated.
Generated in what is known as
the home station" a corrugated
iron structure at the near end
of the tube, the beam of light
passes from the electric arc to
small mirror or reflector out
side the tube.
Thence it is sped through q
tiny, Silver-like aperture to an
octagonal mirror making 500 rev
olutions per second, from which
1t passes through a small, circu
lar window into the tube itself
Dashed Out of Tube
There the beam of luminence
is caught by a prism mirror. and
started on it's dizzy and forward
journey.
Finally. under the system de
vised by DR.. Nicholson, the
beam of light dashes out of the
tube through the same aperature
by which it entered-and a check
up is afforded whereby. with in.
finite toll, the 77-year-old scien.
tistH hopes to reach an absolutely
correct total of the speed of
light.
