the giant-killer Of the prize ring.
Nevertheless, in the main event Of

casion to take a close decision from
his big Argentine rival, Vitoria

Testing Motoring Reactions.

ding or pivoting will occur and in determining
the angle of roll. -
This research discloses that at various speeds
the angular velocities of the car change, due
to the combination of the varying proportion OF
the action of the wheels passing over the bump
and the reactions of the springs and body. In
all instances at speeds Of 10 and is miles per
hour the angular velocity was higher when the
rear wheels passed over the bump, while at 20
miles per hour it was greater when the front
wheels passed over the bump. At higher speeds
the maximum angular velocity depends on ma
tural characteristics of the body and springs.
The gyro- -accelerometer tests prove that some
cars are superior to others in riding quality and
the consequent reduction in the nerve fatigue
and motoring discomfort which they induce in
the motorists who use them. That short
wheelbase car need not have poor riding quality
nor long wheelbase good reliability" has been
proved by road tests. For in all such cases
the gyro-accelerator is efficient in locating de-
fects which can be remedied with proper
springs and energy gy-absorbing devices.
Prof Fox reports from comprehensive tests
that the riding ease of your car mine can
be increased by the provision of shock alb
sorbers so adjusted that they will absorb the
most energy near the point of maximum travel
which occurs when the front springs are fully,
extended. At about mid-travel such devices
should absorb the minimum amount Of energy.
Future car designers by making use of the i'm
portant information provided by gyro-acceler-
ator tests can perfect motor cars Of better
riding qualities than any previously operated in
this or other countries.

the working model housed on the reservation

was an engineer, but show besides, in restored
FORM the first engineering work of its kind
in America.
The cost of the restoration would be in the
neighborhood of $150,000, according to the
Army engineers. This cost includes the erec-
tion of two houses, one for housing the model
of the canal and locks at Great Falls and the
other for domiciling caretaker of the area;
the working model of the canal and locks:
construction of roads and paths throughout the
area and actual reconstruction of the old canal
and locks and other expenses incident to the
perfectidg of the memorial.
The building of the Potomack Canal by tina,
gentry of early America pegs an era in the
economic development of the country. BY pro-
jecting oneself's back las years-to the year
1785-one can get an understanding picture
of what was had in mind by those who en-
Enthusiastically at first If not at all times, sup
ported the idea of a waterway from the Potomac
to the Ohio country.
The war was over in 85 and Washington was
back home under "the shadow of my own vine
and fig tree" spoken of so hopefully in letter
to the Chevalier de Chastellux from Princeton
N 1888. Independence had been won from the
mother country" and before the eyes of the
fathers and the Nation at large lay the de-
velopment of the land. Washington was as
interested in this as in winning freedom for the
Colonies Footsteps led from the field of war
to the fields of peace; from the East to the
West thoughts were beginning to turn.
To Washington the end of the war and the
pursuit of peace meant opening the Western
country and. as the Spanish controlled the
mouth of the Mississippi there was but one
means Of communication with the sea for the
Ohio country and that was by way of the
Potomac, and but one impediment on the way
and ths~t the Great Falls in the Potomac River
Boats cOs'd come down the streams tributary to
the Potion &c and down the Potomac to such
cities as Georgetown and Alexandria If some
way could be found to negotiate the falls.
To Washington and the men Of his time the
opening of the Potomac to navigation for set
tlement and trade West was momentous; the
only error, their failure to realize the stupend-
business of the undertaking in a country where
as yet, no such undertaking like 1t, both as to
character and magnitude, had ever been at
tempted. This made for slowness in the carry
ing out of the project and time did the rest

WHEN car is subjected to bump test, the
gyro-accelerator is mounted in front of the
rear seat of the automobile. The car is then
driven over the simulated road bump or chuck
hole. The tires deform, of course, and absorb
part of the shock. Because the bump is located
below the cars center of gravity, the tendency
Is for the car to nose down before 1t feels the
effect of the upward action induced by the
front wheels going over the bump. This up
ward movement at the front produces an angl-
lar velocity of the car body in counter clock
wise direction, as seen from the right side. The
rear wheels passing over the bump develop high
angular acceleration. time comes when this
reaction from the rear combines with the mo-
ton of this car. It is dependent on the speed
Of travel and the length of the wheelbase. If
end of the car attains the peak of its upward
movement, an unpleasant motion develops
which resembles vigorous kick more than any,
thing else. At other speeds the end re-
action combines so as to be practically neutral
lied by the body motion.
To improve riding comfort the springs and
shock absorbers must be so designed and ad-
iusted to absorb the maximum energy just when
the greatest angular acceleration is developed.
This gyro-accelerometer makes 1t possible to
determine exactly what type of shock OBJ
tain the most desirable riding character

In addition to being boon to automotive en-
gineering by making it possible to rate cars
according to riding qualities, the gyro-acceler-
oneter is invaluable in the determination of
proper weight distribution IN the modern auto
mobile and the most advantageous locations for
spring supports. The apparatus is also useful

peered through the crack, searching the land-
scape The saddle horse which Lee had le1t
before the entrance stood with uplifted head
100 yards away.
Kettle flung the door wide and darted out.
The others looked around at the sound. BY
the time they discovered him, he had put more
than 20 yards behind him. Lee leaped to his
feet and started for the door in pursuit.
The fat man was running with bent knees;
his body hung low, his arms were pumping gro
tesuuely Little spurts of dust rose from the
dry earth before him and behind; Gathering
of fiat reports came from the hillside. Once he
seemed to falter; he swerved like drunken
man; then he ran on. He gained the pony's
side; they saw him swing into the saddle and
ride away.
Lee slammed the door and dropped the bar
into its place. moment later the Apaches
came again.
How long that rush lasted the three within
the building never knew. 1t seemed like hours
before the uncanny silence had settled down
once more. The two men took stock of their
cartridges. Twelve rounds remained. Ed Samp-
son was ransacking his vocabulary for some
epithet sufficiently vile to convey his opinion Of
Kettle. Now and again, discovering one that
promised we'll he whispered it to himself He
might have spoken aloud without danger of
Eileen overhearing.
She was standing beside Lee; her head was
on his breast, his arms were holding her close
She had come to him without word. There
was no word spoken between them now. So
they stood until the ugly fiat voices of the rifles
called him back to his window.
An hour later Lee was kneeling by the win
dow; his empty rifle lay on the floor, his re-
volver was in his hand. Two cartridges were
left In the cylinder. He had been waiting for
dreary time in expectation of the next rush.
It would be the final closing in; there was no
doubt Of that. But for some reason of their
own, the Apaches were still holding back His
eyes went to Eileen; she was standing in the
corner whittier he had sent her at the begin
ning-ages ago it seemed to him now-and her
eyes were on him. That look of theirs was as a
last embrace.

it had never been loud before; he had an
indistinct vision Of tawny bodies leaping from
the shelter of the rocks. He dashed his sleeve
across his eyes. They were at the front of the
building now; he could hear their yells through
the firing as they swept upon the place to
overwhelm them. His vision cleared; there
came rush of footsteps and the open space

Ed Sampson picked up q carbine which was
standing in the corner.
Another rifles hanging on the WALL" he
shouted. and flung himself upon the floor be-
side the nearer window. Lee ran to get the
weapon; but before he took his place at the
other window, he called to Eileen
"Get back, where you're out Of danger" Ket-
tie had q glimpse of her face as she was draw
ing; and the memory Of what he saw in her
eyes stayed with him. moment later he was
kneeling on the earthen floor with Lee beside
him, seeking a target out there in the blazing
sunlight
On both sides of the building the land lay
level for some 80 yards or so, beyond which
it sloped away. Among the clumps of Spanish
bayonet and the boulders bare bodies showed,
huggng the hot earth, rising abruptly, DART
ing forward. So brief were the halts, so sud-
den the transition, that there was sense OF
unreality-fitting forms that seemed to vanish
into thin air, every one to reappear in the next
instant behind another rock or thorny cflmp,
a little nearer than before. Wreaths Of pow
der smoke were melting away. There came,
through the din of firing, the thin tinkle OF
broken glass, the thud of leaden slugs on the
rock walls.
The three men within were shooting slowly,
but the powder smoke hung thick in here; the
reports of the weapons made the air shiver.
Suddenly the uproar ceased. The dark forms,
which had apparently sprung to life out Of the
arid rocks, had vanished as abruptly as they
had come and with as much mystery-save
three that were asprawl and very still IN the
white sunlight. Ed Sampson groaned.
MY leg is busted" he announced.
The silence outside continued; the heat waves
which dance above the boulders were the only
things that moved within the area commanded
by the two windows. Lee had tied his hand.
kerchief above Eds wound to check the bleed
ing; he holding the broken leg in his two
hands while Eileen eased pillow beneath It.
Her face was colorless and set; she said no
word
Now; if one of you viii fetch me some more
cartridges" Ed told them, II can handle this
here carbine as good as ever"
Lee brought q handful Of ammunition and
laid It beside him on the floor.
Twenty rounds-I'm splitting even with
you" He spoke quietly, but the girl caught the
tightness in his voice. She heard Ed swear
under his breath.
Five hours of daylight, and them devils VIII
stay with it till dark. Pears like we're out OF
luck unless somebody comes along"
Where ne was crouching by the other VIM
dow, Kettle heard this. He rose from his knees.
and his soggy face became intent as he looked
upon the three of them-the silent girl, the
two men talking In low tones. Little squirmmg
lines of fear crept about his rheumy eyes. He
had never appeared so utterly ignoble as ne
did now.
