MANY DEFECTS
ARE STAMPED
ON u. S. AUTOS
Cars of Today Too Heavy,
Too Rough Riding, Too
Low, Says Engineer.
~ Scicnce Serrice

By Science SerUice
DETROIT, Jan. 22.-Scathing
criticism was hurled against the
modern automobile before the
American Society of Automotive En-
gineers, meeting here, by Herbert
Chase, consulting engineer of New
York.
Automobiles now are too rough
riding, too low-down, too heavy, too
dangerous and numerous other
"too,s," in the opinion of Chase.
Many needed improvements, he says,
can be made almost Immediately,
without time consuming research.
Chase lamented tn fact that this
is not done because engineers ARE
bound by conventions and inhibi-
lions which require them to make
the least possible change that will
enable their company to get through
another season with a satisfactory
sales record"
The low down" accusation COM
bines with it the charge that cowl-
ings are too high. Cowlings of
present design were said to be dan
gerouS because they do not enable
the operator to see enough of the
road Immediately in front of the
car, and firing because he has to
strain his neck to see.
Claims Not Upheld
Chase believes that very low cars
do mot achieve the safety claimed
for their low centers of gravity. Too
low a center tends to increase skid
ding and reduce the pressure of the
outer tires against the road when
rounding a curve, which results in
instability, he said. This instabil-
ity was called a far worse hazard
than the high center of gravity.
The militant engineer recon-
mended three point chassis Suspen-
sion as the solution to the rough
riding problem. He said that the
finest riding car he ever drove so
was constructed.
The bulk of the present day car
and its inefficient utilization we're
bemoaned.
scarcely 40 per cent OF the area
a car occupies is devoted to useful
load-carrying space" Chase de-
clared. "The remainder, or about
so per cent, including bonnet, cowl,
tenders and running boards, use
less space between the spring horns
and often as much or more space
back of the rear seat, is total loss.
Remedies Are Offered
From the remaining criticisms
and suggestions of the New York
engineer, the following summaries
may be made:

POPULATION OF
EARTH NEARING
TWO BILLIONS
More Than Half of Total
Lives in Asia; 162,0OO,-
600 in North America.
BY WATSON DAVIS
Managing Editor. Science Service

In less than three centuries. the
population of the earth nearly has
quadrupled. Up to 1900 the rate of
increase was accelerating, but since
the turn Of the century the rate of
increase slackened, although, of
course, there are millions more on
earth now than in 1900.
The best estimate of the earth's
population is 1,820,O0O,0OO as of 1929.
DR.. Walter F. Wilcox, Cornell's pro-
lessor OF economics and statistics.
arrives at this figure after an ex-
tensive study of earth population
past and present, reported in an
extensive research into inter-
national migrations just published
under his editorship by the National
Bureau of Economic Research.
Asia, with the teeming hordes of
China, is the most populated con-
tinent, with 954,000,000, or more than
half Of the earth's inhabitants. In
cidentally, even for the present
time, it is most difficult to fix a re-
liable figure for China's population,
due to the lack of census data and
the turmoil of the Orient.
Europe has 478,000,000 persons on
100000 square miles and is the
most densely populated continent.
Asia's population lives on a con-
tinent of 100000 square miles.
North America with a population
of 162000,0OO, outranks Africas
140,000,000, although it is slightly
smaller in area. South America
has 100000 and Australia and
Polynesia together are credited with
100000.
About the population of the earth
before the seventeenth century saw
the dawn of the modern scientific
period, there is little information.
DR.. Willcox's estimates begin with
one for 1850. The difficulty of the
task is shown by attempts made in
the seventeenth century by five
writer's. They ranged from 320,-
100000 to 1,000,000,000. The figure
arrived at by DR.. Wilcox is 465, OOO,-
900.
Human beings increased to $780,
100000 in number in 1850; 836,0OO,-
600 in 1900, 1,O980OO,OOO in 1850, and
1851 100000 in 1900.
In the last third Gentry, the in
crease in world population has been
about equal to twice the total pop
ulation of the United States.

The Galloway Is one of the oldest,
sturdiest and most individual of cattle
breeds. originating In Scotland. It Is
so old In years that, aside from the
generally admitted wild white cattle
ancestry, little is known Of the strains
which formed its foundation. Some
authorities say 1t Is polled strain Of
the West Highland breed The name
Is derived from district In southwest
ern Scotland, where the first herds
were developed. Present-day animals
are mostly polled and of black color,
although among cattle In native haunts
some loose scurs occur, and some
brownish or dun colors still appear.
White markings are common even on
the underline, due to wild white cat
tie blood. The hide is thick, but mel
low. and is covered with profusion
of long, silky hair which has mossy
cred Of extra good quality, the flesh
Is marbled, much like Angus beef, and
Is well distributed over the frame. The
breed was first introduced into North
America about 1850 by farmers living
close to TorontA BY a fire In 1851
much OF early-day records and breed
history were destroyed The first sep
arate herdbook was published by the

FIVE-DAY WEEK
For Newspaper N Shops
Adopted By Printers

indianapolis, Ind (ILNS)-On Jan
uary | all union newspaper printers
began working the fve-day week.
BY nearly two to one the Inter
national Typographical Union has de-
cided, through referendum vote, to
put the shorter week into effect in
the entire newspaper printing indus
try, creating one day of work week
in each situation for some printer
now unemployed
Secretary Woodruff Randolph an
nounced the vote as 32,073 in favor of
the five-day week, with 1900 op-
posed.
Unions whose members are employ
ed by commercial houses are required
by the referendum to negotiate five
day contracts as rapidly as possible,
so that all printers may have the
ive-day week at the earliest possible
time.
Motions to change the international
assessment and to revise the pension
system were defeated

UNION PRINTERS
In Newspaper Offices Go On
Five-Day Week-Help
Unemployed

Beginning last Monday, union
printers employed in newspaper Off
ces all over the country, started
working on a five-day week basis.
This is in accordance with refer
endum vote submitted to all local
unions and which carried overwhelm-
ingly.
This action on the part of the union
printers was for the purpose of shar-
ing their work with their fellow
typists who are out of jobs. The
trade unionists are to be much COM
mended for their action as it is max
ing big sacrifices on their part. For
be it known when they accept the
five-day work week it means that
they will receive but five days pay
The five-day week for printers
means that where heretofore five
men worked six days a week, six
men will now work five days week,
thus reducing unemployment in the
printing crafts approximately 20 per
cent. This would be "a good rule,
where possible to do so, for other
crafts to follow

SECEDERS
Are Out For Good, Shaw
Declares

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-To
clear up growing misunderstanding
among government workers regarding
the relative position Of the American
Federation of Labor and the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
President John Arthur Shaw, of the
American Federation of Government
Employees, in statement this week
asserted that its is absolutely i'm
possible" for the National Federation
to reaffiliate with organized labor.
Assertions by leaders of the
National Federation that their chances
of reaffiliation "are remote" were
characterized by Mr.. Shaw as 'mis-
leading and likely to deceive"
Mr.. Shaw's statement follows:
Statements have been made re-
peatedly by leaders of the National
Federation of Federal Employees that
probabilities of reaffliation of that
organization with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor are most remote to
quote their recent declaration
"Such assertions on the part of
these leaders are incorrect because
they make it appear as if the matter
is one for the National Federation of
Federal Employees to decide. They
also are misleading and likely to de-
ceive those who do not know that it
is absolutely impossible for the Ma
tional Federation of Federal En-
ployes to become reaffiliated with
the American Federation of Labor
"The impossibility of the National
Federation again entering the ranks
of organized labor rests upon the fact
that the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees has been granted
an exclusive charter of affiliation
with the American Federation of La
Dor. AS a result, the A. F. of L. has
ruled that the only way federal en-
ployes can align themselves with the
organized labor movement is by indi-
vidually affliating with the American
Federation of Government Employees.
