ing charges against Gravely. He de-
clared Neudecker could tell his story
in court next Friday.

several weeks ago, accused Of attempt
ing to extort money from Rose Marie

which time the shooting of Crotts oc-
Cured Ardie Swortzel, suspended po-

new X-RAY TUBES
TO AID AUTO INDUSTRY
Diffraction Photographs Now Can
Be Made Within a Few
Seconds.

A new type Of X-ray tube, which
makes possible diffraction photographs
or "X-ray snapshots" in a few seco-ds
as compared with hours or days here
tofore necessary, was recently described
by Prof. George L. Clark of the Uni
versity of Illinois at q meeting of the
New York section of the American
Chemical Society and other chemical
organizations.
Prof. Clark states that the new tube
opens an almost unbelievable field in
industrial development, 3 1t will enable
manufacturers to analyZe minute details
of structural development in textiles,
metals and oils, and viii give them n
insight into the makeup Of their prod
ucts that is certain to result in superior
quality and greater uniformity.
Uniformity of oil products Is largely
determined by the refining and manu-
featuring processes, according to oil
manufacturers. As was recently re-
vealed in a series of surveys on lubrica-
ton undertaken by the New York Uni
verSity Bureau of Business Research
among university professors and auto
motive engineers, oils derived from the
same crude may differ materially in
their qualities and oils from different
crudes may be manufactured to be alike
in their qualities.
The new x-ray apparatus will now
make possible definite information re-
garding the arrangement of atoms In
crystals, and will thus contribute 70
greater uniformity in manufactured
products, according to Prof. Clark.

CANADIAN TUNNEL USE
GREAT TIMESAVER
Motorists Able to Go From Detroit
to Windsor in Five
Minutes.

With the opening OF the Detroit
Windsor Tunnel, another milestone is
marked In the annals OF outstanding
engineering achievements.
Automobiles are now able TO 60 from
Detroit to Windsor In five minutes.
1t viii enable over 100000 cross.
river travellers to save more than 81
100000 hours yearly.
The new tunnel. costing over $25,-
600 900, was completed seven months
ahead of the originally scheduled date;
and 1t is the only privately owned and
operated vehicular tunnel in the world.
As a means of keeping an absolute
check on the number of vehicles pass
ing through the tunnel, four rubber
covered 'vehicle-Sensitive" units have
been placed In the pavement of the
exit lanes at each end Of the tunnel
These serve as "eyes" and keep an
absolute check. Automobiles do not
stop at these units nor are the drivers
aware Of their presence.
The tunnel starts at the foot Of
Bates street, east Of the present Ferry
Dock, and emerges in Windsor just
beyond the Prince Edward Hotel. The
tunnel, lilo miles long. Is to ac-
comodate single line of trafic In
each direction, and will operate "a
hours a day. At each exit, the single
line divides into four lanes, so as to
expedite the movement of vehicles
passing through the customs and Inn
migration inspection. The depth from
ceiling to floor of the tunnel is 1914
feet. The interior Is of white tile.
