MEXICAN BRIDGE
 OPENING FIXED
After Considerable Wran= gling 24=Hour Schedule
 Is Adopted

Brownsville, Tex. (UP)-United States and Mexico finally have reached an agreement on open hours for the international bridges here.
 The solution was reached after officials decided to keep them open all the time. .
 For 20 years, ever since the United States started closing hours there have been controversies over the bridges.
 American customs officials or dered the Eexas end of the bridges closed early, then Mexican authori- ties retaliated by not opening the Mexican end of the bridges the next morning.
 A sudden change of heart oc- cured on he American side Of the river and the bridges were ordered open for 24-hour periods. Mexico added to the differences by closing them at night.
 On the recommendation ,o1 Harry L.. Sexton, American col lector of customs, the bridges latel were opened permanently on th' American side, but not on thu Mexican side. Autoists could eros to Mexico up to midnight an. time and could return any time but they could not enter Mexic between midnight and a. m. Complaints were n u m ous Finally Mexican officials announc ed their sides. of the bridges woul be kept open the full 24-hour pc | riod

DOUBLE TAXATION
 MAY BE CHECKED
Treasury Survey Seeking SOlutiOrl-Statistics
 Being Gathered

Washington, D. C.-The United States treasury is seeking solu- ton for the problem of double taxation.
 Officials working under Roswell Magill, departmental tax adviser are gathering statistics on the sub- ject with the idea of formulating a program not only to simplify the complicated American tax system but to enlist the aid of the states in establishing a more equitable system.
 The problem has baffled fedora, and state officials for years, Secre- tary of the Treasury Morgenthau recently told the house ways and means committee, and the federa government apparently lacks the authority to institute 8 uniform tax system.
 Numerous taxes now are dupli. cated by federal and state govern ments, sometimes also by counties and municipalities. Gasoline i. taxed cumulatively by all four witt the result that in some places the total tax actually is higher thar
 the retail price. Individuals ant
 corporations doing business il several states must make tax pay
 ments to each. Like the fedora government, 22 states levy income taxes. There are duplicating ant cumulative taxes upon tobacco, ad mission, motor vehicles, and othel commodities and assets.

NEW BRIDGE
 SPANS BRAZOS
Texas Has Highest and Widest Structure Ever
 Built in Texas

Waco, Texas - (UP) - The widest and highest bridge ever built by the Texas state highway department spans the Brazos River, near here.
 The bridge. nearly half a mile long, was completed and opened for traffic several days ago. Hun dreds of autoists and pedestrians awaited on both banks for Division Engineer E. c. Woodward to an- nounce the span ready.
 The structure of steel and con- crete was built at a cost of $27S,- 900. The bridge will be accepted by state highway authorities when Resident Engineer Randale B. Al exander pronounces it completed and Division Engineer Woodward makes a final inspection.
 The bridge has a 24-foot road way and a five-foot sidewalk on the west side. The roadway can be made 40 feet wide in the future, engineers said, without increasing the width of the foundations. Piers sunk into the riverbed were constructed large enough especial ly to take care of this possible fu- ture necessity. Exact length or the bridge from pier to pier IS 2,432 feet between elevations.

Modern Auto Manufacture Achieves Greatest Miracle
 By Making Riding Comfort Distinct Asset

moofed rigidIy to, the frame of the car with the result that when 1t began to vibrate, the bad news of that circumstance was transmitted to the drivers nerves through his ears. With the tenderest kind of solicitude, car designers now have attached mufflers on flexible rub Der mountings. They can move as freely as they please and nothing even resembling a cold nipples up and down the spine of those in the vehicle.
 A small thing perhaps, but one of the several which combine to make driving a new model so pleasantly different!
 The memory of motorists does not have to be very long to stretch back to the period when one of the most wicked jarrings produced by the car was that in the steer ing. Their mystification over the remedy for this condition-for a cause-used to send engineers home in the evening mumbling to themselves.
 Shoclkless Steering
 Gradually, however, light broke through. Designers decided there was not much they could do to stop the bouncing of the front wheels, from side to side as well as up and down. Accordingly, they was to let them bounce but to in. corporate device that would in tercept the jarring effect before i got into the arms and shoulders of the driver.
 Rubber alone was found unable to absorb this particular variety oi shock, or vibration. The engineer did not let than nonplus him. He 1 devised coil springs and new me thods of locating the steering arm Presto! The steering wheels car dance as much as they please ant the driver never even feels it! Small coiled springs and rubber combine at another point to tak' a load off the drivers and passen gers nervous systems. The poin in question is the clutch.
 In addition to the floating effec of the ride in the ultra moderl car, the elimination of lettin, everything else bounce has accom- plished another miracle. It is tn miracle of silent operation. Man, are inclined to regard it as tn greatest achievement of automotiv engineering.

Just about every feature of to- days automobile is given the full est latitude in bobbling as 1t pleases. Because this is true, driv- CTS and their passengers bobble not at all. It is in quite striking contrast with the days when car mechanisms were extremely rigid and those who rode in them had d distressing degree of fiexibility.
 The whole story constitutes one of the miracles of modern sci- ence: a dramatic tale that deals with the manner in which the genii of the laboratory have made the going smoother in an unsympa- thetic, turbulent world.
 Who, for instance, ever heard of an automobile engine standing with it's two front wheels planted firmly in the middle of a couple of rubber biscuits? That is, who ever heard of it until this year? En- zines never had fleet" in the past, much less rubber biscuits upon which to plant them. The power plant of most of the latest auto- mobiles have them or their equiv- alent.
 Flexible Biscuits
 In calling these flexible pads "biscuits," the engineers reputa- ton for literalness remains in- tact. They look exactly like bis cults and they are extremely flexible. Engines can and dc bounce around on them furiously However, the occupant of the cal
 A1g nf created. There is a rubber biscuit between himself and the bouncins engine and it takes the beating while the driver or passenger takes life more easily than evel before.
 The bouncing of the power plan is not the only variety from whicf the occupant of the passenger cal has been insulated.
 There is that produced by un. evenness in the surface of the road With regard to this variety, tht layman might be interested il knowing car engineers long hav' been embarrassed because automo piles still have springs like thos' in the coach used by Louis XIV. Louis, however, never wouls know it were he to return and star coach model.
 Road Jolts Ended
 A few drops of oil or a pendu lum like metal arm stand com fortably between the car passenge and the biggest nipples in the road When the springs of the car de fleet and the body drops down ward, the stage is all set for tn motorist to take trip to the roo of ther vehicle. He would talk it, to, unless some way could b found for putting a brake on tn recoil of the springs. That is pre- cisely what the oil or the inertia controlled pendulum accomplishes They leap in the path of the vio lent spring reaction, and with ex tremely soothing effect, eliminat it virtually altogether.

SEAPLANE BASE | NEAR COMPLETION
Worlds Finest Station for Receiving Planes to Be
 Opened in Miami

Miamin, Fla, (UP)-A minnion dollar seaplane terminal, supposed to be the finet in the world, is near ing completion here for the Pan- American Airways.
 It will have AZ acres of landing area on Biscayne Bay, and the air station itself fronts the bay for 167 feet, with IA feet of inland depth.
 Seaplanes will<taxi into the sta- ton, discharging their passengers at the basement level, where they will go through customs, immigra- ton and quarantine offices into the huge depot, which resembles somewhat the finest of the union railway stations in the country. Four airships at a time can be dispatched from the terminad. The largest ships using the port this year will be the Sikorsky Clipper ships, weighing 17 tons and with capacity for A passengers. Over its 26,OO0 mile of route from Miami around South America, the Pan-American Airways now oper- ate 146 airships, and employs more than 2,000 people.
 Six new airships are now under construction for Pan-Am ericail Airways by the Sikorsky and Glenn l.. Martin companies. They are designed for the longest flights, and it is specuated that they may be. intended for use in a proposed trans-Atlanticff service. They will carry four motors capable of de- veloping a total of 27,000 horse power, and will have capacity for 32 persons. They will cost $290,000 each.
 Six other ships under construc- ton for use on the southern routes will have 200 miles an hour speed feet

MODEL ELECTRIC
 HOME IS SHOWN
864 Servants for House. wife By Simply Turrl-
 ing Switch

Mansfield, o. (UP).-A model "home of the future" more com- pletely electrified than ever before has been attemptd, has been open ed here for public inspection. .
 It represents what engineers Of 20 different departments of the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company conceive will be ayailable to the average house. holder five or ten years hence.
 If all the switches are turned on at once it represents electrical capacity equal to 864 servants at work, say the engineers. The house consumes 30 times more electrical energy than the average home or today, but it's designers point out that already there is an oVer-pro- : duction of power in the united States, and when the gigantic gov ernment projects now under way are completed the availability or low-cost power in homes should be practically limitless.
 The house is completely "air conditioned" That is, warm air in the winter and cool air in the sum- mer is circulated through the house from "weather room" in the basement. .,
 The lighting is all "shadowless.' Sunken panel lights around the windows will give the effect of day. light streaming in at any hour.
 This modest home is equipped with seven radio sets. One of them is an all-wave affair. Another is in- stalled in the family automobile, and it works one of the most mar velous automatic contraptions or all
 Mother, driving home from bridge or tea in the family car doesn't have to get out and open cum bersome garage doors. As she approaches, she simply turn on her radio. The garage doors open, as though by unseen hands. She drives in, shuts off the radio, the garage doors close automatically
 The kitchen is one of those "straight-line production" affairs. The electric range heats up in a jiffy. The broiler broils a steak or chops on both sides at once. Food mixers, egg beaters and gad- gets of that sort are permanently installed, and all operate merely by turning switches. The dishwasher not only washes the dishes but rinses and dries them.

Leipzig, March 3.-UP).-The 7OO-year-old Leipzig Trade Fair, which opens here tomorrow, indi- cates an upturn in business condi- tions.
 For centuries Leipzig has been considered an accurate barometer of world trade. Business men from 172 countries will attend the fair this spring, and the fair itself will be 15 per cent larger than last year. The present fair is three times the size of any pre-war fair. Leipzig is assured of 1S5,000 vis- itors.
 The 15Oth anniversary of the first contact of the fair with America is being celebrated here In 17S3, when Benjamin Franklin visited Europe, a representative of the Leipzig fair conferred with him on trade relations. In the same year representative named Thieriot sailed for Philadelphia where he spent several years. To. day thousands of American exhib. itors and buyers from all parts o1 the United States regularly vist the fair.
 Buyers and exhibitors are gath. cred here from every corner of the world. The international charac. ter of the fair is maintained by the exhibits of "A of the leading countries of the world, including the United States. The fair com. prises 5000 separate exhibits, in cluding the latest products of ev. cry industrial activity. The grea toy fair, which for centuries ha! I- II T is larger than ever this year.

be the display of building mate- rials where the latest method of construction will be shown by the actual erection of buildings of many types. Several important congresses will be held in connec- tion with the fair. The fair au- thorities point out that American trade with Germany has steadily increased of late despite the de- pression and the poor showing of other countries. The United States has a better trade balance than last year. In 1883 the exportation of finished goods to America in- creased five per cent.

EARMARK IDENTIFICATION

Earmarks rather than finger-prlnts
as a means of Identification Is pro-
posed by Prof. Henry F. Perkins,
director of the Fleming museum of
the University of Vermont, who has
discovered nearly $50 distinct char
acteristic formations in the human
ear.
Not necessarily connected with
the criminal, eastern monarchs have
used the thumbs impression, the
"sign manual" as surety against
forgery, India's courts have used
prints for Identification and Ameri-
lean maternity hospitals for identi-
flying babies. Photography, not por-
traiture, has shown individuality in
the human ear, once thought only
