harDOr.
At dawn, coast guardsmen
made their fifth attempt to
reach the steamer. Waves
which carried one of their
crew to his death during the
night, threatened repeatedly
to swamp the rescue boat.
The guardsmen rode into the lee
Of the breakwater, finally, while
hundreds of shivering spectators
cheered from shore. They shot a
rope over the Cort, and it was
stretched taut.
A breeches buoy carried some of
the men to the breakwater from
their ship. Others braved the sea
and wind by crawling hand -over-
hand from ship to safety.
Last to leave the ship. in mari
time tradition, was Charles v. Cox,
captain of the 2,394-ton vessel.
Crawl Along Breakwater
AS waves dashed across the decks
of the laundering ship, the men
crawled along the breakwater mile
to shore. The Muskegon harbor
entrance separated them from the
crowds who had watched and
cheered the rescue.
The Cort was the last of three
whaleback freighters owned by the
Lake Port Shipping and Naviga-
ton Company of Detroit The other
two foundered in Great Lakes
storms during the last three years.
The Cort sank last winter but was
raised and refitted.
It left Holland, Mich, yesterday
for Chicago. The gale swept it back
thirty miles to Muskegon, and
smashed it against the apex of the
harbor entrance, where the ends of
two long breakwaters meet.
The ship struck with crash
heard far ashore. Walls of its
whistle summoned aid. Between
riffs in the blizzard. coast guards
men caught an occasional glimpse
of the Handicapped ship as it
pounded against the side of the
breakwater, only a few hundred
yards from the safe entrance.
SurfbOat Is Brought Out
The United States coast guard
cuttef EScanaba rushed to the
Cort's aid from Grand Haven.
Mountainous seas and invisibility
prevented it from approaching, and
the cutter stood off, half mile out.
Coast guardSmen, fearing the
craft would not stand up under the
pounding, brought out their surf
boat.
Several times the shore surf over
turned the frail craft. Finally. as
it made its way out to the Cort with
heavy line for breeches buoy.
the line snapped. Surfman John
Dipert was tossed into the waves,
and drowned. The others dashed
themselves to the boat and washed
ashore helpless before the storm.
A power boat from The Grand
Haven station made four unsuccess-
full attempts at dawn today to reach
the breakwater.
Line Finally Is Secured
Cheers of frozen spectators rose
above the roar Of the storm as the
guardsmen finally crossed the
treacherous surf shore on the fifth
attempt.
After thirty minutes battle against
wind and waves, they reached the
lee Of the breakwater. Four at
tempts to reach the ship from there
failed because of the heavy back
wash churning in the fifty feet be-
tween the breakwater entrance and
the ship.
The breeches buoy rope gun
doomed through the storm and the
life-saving line shot to the boat.
Members of the Cort crew, huddled
in the lee Of their cabin, dashed for
the line as it fell, and secured it.
They were drenched as they
fought their way over the line of
the breakwater. Huge waves broke
over them repeatedly, and the cold

PAN-AMERICAN ROAD
LINK BEING SPEEDED
Mexico Hopes to Have Important
Section Ready For Use by
Early Autumn This Year.

The Mexican government is increas-
ing its forces in building the great
highway which will connect Mexico
City with the highway system Of the
United States so that the road across
the Rio Grande and the mountains to
the capital of the southern republic
may be opened next Autumn.
This information was contained in
a letter received by the American Road
Builders Association this week from
Leopoldo Farias, commissioner of high
ways in Mexico. Farias has been
supervising the construction Of the
highway.
The highway to Mexico is the latest
important link in the great Pan
American system which is planned
eventually to link the United States,
Canada and Alaska with the republics
of Central and South America. Al
ready long links have been completed
and 1t is believed that the remain
ing sections, largely through jungles
and difficult mountain passes. will be
built as soon as they are economically
justified.

MOTOR CAR RADIO
GROWTH IS RAPID
Perfection of Sets During
Last Three Years Sees
Million Now in Use.
with radio receiving sets In homes

With radio receiving sets In homes
approaching the saturation point. manu-
facturers Of electrical apparatus. col
laboratins with the automobile industry,
have been concentrating on the develop
ment Of radio sets which would afford
reception comparable to domestic re-
ceivers for more than two years.
Conservative estimates show that more
than a million radios have been installed
in cars within the last three years
The development of automobile radio
has been the direct outgrowth Of the
perfection Of apparatus designed to
meet the sturdy requirements Of mo-
bility. The majority of automobile
manufacturers today are equipping their
products with antennae and other
equipment to simplify the installation
OF radio. Several manufacturers are
selling cars already equipped with sets.
First Sets Inferior.
Perfection Of automobile radio has
been rapid since the development of
special radio vacuum tubes in 1880.
Prior to that year, it was necessary to
make use of standard home set tubes
which was not capable of Withstand
ing the jarring and vibration when used
in an automobile. The special tubes
developed afford results equal to any
home radio set. They are designed
to operate directly from the car storage
battery.
In order to meet the increased drain
on the car battery many automobile
manufacturers have increased the gen.
orator charging rate. This overcomes
running down the battery when the
radio is being used.
trically similar to standard home re-
ceivers. They employ the standard
superheterodyne circuit with from four
to eight tubes. The receiving set itself
is usually mounted on the dashboard
directly behind the instrument panel.
It Is controlled by means of q tuning
device attached to either the steering
wheel shaft or the instrument panel.
Remote tuning Is accomplished by
means of a flexible shaft not much un-
like ypeedometer chain, which adjusts
the tuning apparatus Of the set.
Special Generators Used.
Loud speakers generally are mounted
near the receiving set on the dash
board Modern car sets are being equip
ped with dynamic reproducers which
is the type used on domestic sets. In
the modern car set, power or high
voltage to operating the vacuum tubes
usually Is obtained by means of a small
generator operated by the storage bat
terry. These units use only Q small
amount Of current and supply as much
as 200 volts for the plates Of the tubes.
One Of the most practical develop
ments In automobile radio receiving sets
Is the automatic volume control. On
sets where this device is not used, the
passing Of steel buildings, bridges, etc.,
are apt to cause signals from broad
casting stations to fade, and sometimes
completely pass out Of audibility. How
ever, with automatic controlling Of the
volume the constant rising and falling
of Of volume caused by absorption b
practically eliminated.
There are more than II radio manu-
facturers making automobile equipment.

Speeds Are Higher But
Safety Is Improved.
The automobiles on display at the
Auditorium constitute the fleetest ag-
gregation of new models ever assembled,
with an average peak speed Of 80 miles
an hour conservative estimate of their
performance in this respect. This
aspect of performance has been i'm
proved-and the cars express speed in
their every external line-not because
the motor manufacturers expect it to
be used unfortunately but because of
the need for higher acceleration. The
two forms of speed are definitely the
product Of high engine power. and be-
cause his car will do 80 miles an hour
or more. the motorist may be certain Of
an acceleration performance of the
order to 10 to 80 miles an hour in
second gear in five seconds.
The Show-goer will find, however.
that these qualities Of the car find the
vital correlatives of driving ease and
safety lifted to the same high standards.
One of the most important contribu-
tions to safety Immediately evident to
the auto show audience is the i'm
proved visibility of the new body de-
signs.
Only a personal visit to the show
can disclose the vivid and vigorous
quality of the motor industrys attack

By THOMAS p. HENRY,


President, American Automobile Association.
The dawn Of the new year viii and
on the streets and highways Of the
United States some 100000 obsolete
cars. These vehicles are in excess Of
seven years of age. and every consid-
Grafton of safety, efficiency and economy
ordains that they should forthwith 60
to the scrap heap. Buying showed a
remarkable pickup In recent months,
but obsolescence has proceeded at q
much greater rate than replacement.
Millions of users of such cars are sur
veying the market today. Hundreds of
thousands of them would buy tomorrow
If they had the wherewithal. All Of
them will sooner or later be buyers,
since the prediction of the average
American for individual transportation
has not been q whit impaired-except,
perhaps, from the standpoint Of taxes.
What kind Of buyers will they be,
once they enter the market? I am in
cNned to believe that your average car
buyer in 1884, and perhaps for some
years to come, will be more cautious,
more critical and more expert trader
than was the buyer of other years. It
is most fortunate for the automotive
industry that 1t has improved its posi-
tion and perfected its product to meet
consumer demands for more than q
hundred cents worth OF car for q
dollar bill.
Industry Is Responsible.
The why and wherefore Of the more
careful approach to purchasing auto
mobiles Is not far to seek. Money has
come hard and the urge to cling to it is
strong, At the same time, the automo-
bile industry over q period Of more than
three decades has given the public an
intensive education in placing before it
year after year greatly improved auto
mobiles at lower prices. This year is
no exception. However. am convinced
that even with the advent of better
times and the loosening Of the purse
strings, the current disposition Of the
buyer and the prospective buyer to re-
late his purchase of motor tranSporta.

pocketbook will continue. With this

First and foremost, he Is thinking in

the least money. The manufacturer
who is not prepared to show the Gus
toner "the price is right" may as we'll
join the List Of the departed. Honored
names with q great history still mean
something, but names and name plates
mean less than they did, and money Is
less sentimental than at any time
within living memory.
But for the benefit Of the buyer and
IN fairness to the industry, 1t should
be said the prices today are amazingly
low in proportion to actual dollar value
The motorist expects dependability.
He wants, and insists on, a car upon
which he can depend to take him to a
given place in a specified time Often
his whole means Of livelihood rests
upon assured personal transportation
He expects 1t even If his automobile
has the scars Of long service. That
the manufacturers are cognizant Of
these demands goes without saying.
In response, they are laying great en-
phasis on car stamina and are pre-
pared to prove It.
