In this new car the luxurious comfort and proved

an even greater importance. The added length of
the new low chassis frame, which is amply strong

minimizes body sway and holds the car steady at
all speeds. The braking system, easy to operate,
effective and quiet adds to the pleasure and safety
of driving.

COLD HIGHWAY
RUNS 5 MILES

FORT MORGAN, Col, Jan. 7.
In the southern part of Colorado,
noted for it's mountain scenery,
there is a stretch of five miles
of highway that is perhaps diff.
ferent from any other highway
in the world. Every mile of it,
contains $4,000 in virgin gold.
The precious metal found its
humble resting place by reason of
the fact that the crushed rock
which was used in making the
foundation of the highway was
shipped from the ore dumps of
the Cripple Creek gold field, one
of the richest gold fields in the
world.

Invention Of q mechanical brain
whose grey matter Is mostly light
was announced Monday by the
Massachusetts, Institute Of Tech
nology.
The brain Is calculating ma

by q trick almost as simple as the
cutting out Of paper dolls. It per-
forms In q few minutes mathe-
matical problems which by hu-
man brains and hands require
anything from hours to days.
It analyses graphs by turning
them into light. Graphs are lines
showing averages.
The paper on which these
graphs are traced Is treated 90
the portion below the graph Is
transparent. The effect Is like
cutting out paper dolls, leaving
the figure Of the dolls outlined as

Treacherous Phenomena Sweep
California Beaches During
Holiday Period

Los Angeles, July 6.-(R-A posi-
BILE death toll Of 20 persons was
charged today to rip tides which
swept beaches in this area over the
weekend.
AS holiday crowds numbering hun
dreds of thousands, spread along al
most so miles Of winding seacoast. life
guards kept a close watch for bodies
which may have swirled out by the
ocean-ward currents and later car
ried back to shore.
Seventeen persons were listed as
having perished in the tides Satur-
day, although not all the bodies had
been recovered. The treacherous
tides continued Sunday but only
three were reported missing from the
beaches.
Lifeguards described the rip tides
as currents flowing out to sea like
swift rivers. They were unable to
agree on what causes them, but said
they flow at varying angles from the
shore; are few yards to 100 yards in
width and continue to exert their
pull for 80 feet to quarter OF a
mile. The tides appear infreoeuntly.
Because Of the large area Of beach
es affected, it will be several days be-
fore the weekend toll of the tides
