gineers learned to control surface, that
most States require that freshly laid
highways have no more than one
eighth-inch variation from true level
for each 10 feet of pavement length.
Clothing wears out rapidly: shoes
last for only q few months; locomotives
are practically rebuilt every few thou
sand miles; automobiles last but few
years; only a few things such as fur
niture and well built homes are ex-
pected to last for many years. In
general. the facilities used In everyday
life have short lives.
But engineers and scientists have
proven that In roads it Is possible to
build facilities that will last for dec
ades and without undue repair bills:
North Carolina officials have stated
that concrete pavement built in that
State will serve for some so years. En-
gineers in general ascribe life of not
less than Is years to concrete pavement
and authorities agree that 1t is good
business to finance concrete pavement
with 20-year bonds for the reason that
the pavement will last much longer
than that period.
The fact that 1t Is possible to build
road surfaces Of such long life Is
fortunate for In the United States
there are some 100000 miles Of road,
Of which some 100000 miles are of
major importance. II these roads had
to be constantly rebuilt, repair and re-
placement bills would be exorbitant,
there would be no satisfactory road
progress. and the utility of the auto
mobile would be vastly reduced.

SEES AUTO FUTURE
IN YOUTHS HANDS
Company Official Says Motor
Industry Offers Excellent
Chance to Workers.

"The future of the automobile in
dustry rests with the young men Of
America" says B. E. Hutchinson,
chairman of the board of the Plymouth
Motor Corporation.
1T has oftimes been said-and 1t Is
vigorously contended by some-that in
this machine age Of mass production,
the individual becomes mere cog IN
the whes and has largely lost his op-
portunity for self-expression. This
opinion has been advanced as the ex-
PLANTATION for some Of the character
istics of restlessness conspicuous in our
modern society.
while it may be true that the work.

industrial enterprises has narrowed the
scope of the individuals activitieS-at
the same time he occupies a position
of far greater dignity and Importance
than ever before. He is an integral
part Of a complex organization, and
many others are at least In part
affected by his actions.
TT has been said, too, that the young
man of today has not the great oppor-
tunities that his father had so years
ago. The young man Of today has. I
believe, even greater opportunities than
ever A1l GAiC oAeOAiiO-

personal initiative will be greater this
year than they have ever been IN the
history of American business.
Industry realizes that its future
rests in the hands Of the young men

idea that will, in its final fulflllment.

revolutionize an industry.
The Chrysler Corporation has for
more than two years maintained an
Institute of Engineering, where selected
graduates of accredited technical schools
are trained for industrial work in the
company's research and engineering
laboratories This institute also pro-
vides secondary school and college
training for men in the company's
engineering division who either lacked
these advantages in earlier life or de-
sire to supplant their earlier education.
This is certainly a day OF oppor-
tunity.
1t is a day Of opportunity for the
manufacturer who has better product
to offer at competitive price.
1t Is q day of opportunity for young

Work Is Different.
A motor cycle policeman's job requires
quite q departure from other lines Of
police endeavor. His main contact is
with the motoring public, who, after all,
are not engaged in the commission Of
actual crimes. Quite often the offender
Is guilty Of omission rather than COM
mission.
The motor cycle man has various
driver-the careless and Indifferent
driver-the driver who very often forgets
that other motorists have rights and
privileges upon our public highways-
and sometimes the driver, who by rea-
son Of overindulgence, is unfit to operate
q motor vehicle upon the streets.
It has often been observed that the
individual who is ordinarily mild man
nered and courteous, sometimes suffers
q decided change Of disposition when he
sits behind steering wheel. Quite fire.
quently he becomes nervous and irasci-
BILE. His sense Of fairness seems to
leave him and he assumes a me first"
attitude toward others drivers.
We try to acquaint our men with this
"road psychology" in order that they
may be familiar with human nature as
it is displayed by operators Of motor
vehicles.
Courtesy is insisted upon among the
men and they are not rated according
to the number of summonses served by
them, but rather by their attitude and
gentlemanly conduct. Fairness Is highly
essential and the men are impressed
with the obvious fact that theirs Is q
moral as well as an official responsible
tty-that they are the first line Of de-
Tense In the protection Of men, women
and children in their use of our streets
and roadways.
In this work the entire city Is zoned
on into what is termed motorcycle
posts. No section is neglected and oper-
ations are directed as conditions may
require.
Accuracy in the matter Of timing
speeding automobiles Is insisted upon.
Motor cycle men are constantly in
structed in the technique Of speed COM
putation and how TO give proper testi-
mony in the various traffic courts when
required to do so.
Master instruments are maintained at
each squad headquarters where speed
ometers attached to the motor cycles are
tested and inspected weekly under
the supervision Of q superior ofilcer

ical operations Of these speed testing
devices.

rupted transit through our city streets.

MODERN HIGHWAY
BUILT LIKE BRIDGE
Pavements of Today Among
Most Durable of Mans
Varied Creations.
BY e. E. DUFFY.

Do you know that q road or street
really built to suit today's trafic is &C.
tually . bridge?
Do you know that despite talk Of
roads wearing out, pavements are be-
ing built which are numbered among
the most permanent Of man-made
products?
On the fact Of things, very good
road is required to stand the strain Of
modern traffic. Even small automobiles
weigh upward of a ton and half. And
then there are buses and trucks, which
we now regard as indispensable, weigh
ing with load up to IL tons.
II merely the dead weight Of these
vehicles were applied to road surfaces
the road problem would be simple. But
when these vehicles travel along at me-
dium and high speeds they are destruc-
tive forces which make short work of
Dirt Roads Destroyed.
These vehicles can cut a dirt road
and other weak surfaces into ribbons
in short time. So here enters the
pavement. A purpose Of the pavement
Is to assume the traffic load and to dis
tribute 1t over the underlying earth.
But more than that, the pavement
must be rigid and strong enough to re-
tain its original shape and position even
If the earth underneath is soft and
yielding in some places, hard and re-
sistant in others. A flexible surface,
pounded by trafhc, naturally assumes
the contour of the earth subgrade and
becomes wavy, rutted or bumpy. The
rigid pavement that carries trafic
smoothly over ground irregularities Is In
reality q bridge.
In the country today there are 90, 900
miles Of concrete rural roads and "a
600 miles Of concrete streets.
Much Of this was laid years ago be-
fore engineering was so well understood,
yet many Of these pavements, Is or 20
years old and older, are still giving ex-
cellent service.
Road builders today lay concrete that
serves indefinitely under heavy trafiic.
Expansion joints are spaced to prevent
creeks that might come from extreme
heat or cold. Pavements are built

PLANE INFLUENCE
ON AUTOS MARKED
Engineer Declares Design
Progress of Recent Years
Is Due to Aircraft.

Automobiles have definitely become
air minded, in the opinion Of D. G.
Roos, chief engineer, the Studebaker
Corporation.
During the past IS years airplanes
have become lighter, stronger and more
efficient. he says, pointing out that
they carry far greater loads per horse
power than the engineer of 1918 would
have believed possible. They fly more
swiftly and have greater cruising
ranges. Advanced aircraft design and
construction and the development Of
special metals have made it possible.
The same remarkable change has
try" Roos declares. This has hap
pened by evolution, not revolution. Our
cars today are lighter. safer, more
durable than they've ever been before.
They're better looking and they're more
comfortable. Their power plants are
more efficient, weigh less consume less
fuel and give higher performance.
THE past two years have seen a
remarkable advance in automobile en-
gines. Today our motors run from
900 to 1900 revolutions per minute
faster than they did in 1931-and still
give the same long service. We have
Increased the horsepower output. Two
years ago 3 cubic inches of piston dis
placement were required for the de-
velopment of ! horsepower. Today we
get ! horsepower out OF 2.l5 cubic
inches
New Heads Boost Power.
The development of the aluminium
high compression head has enabled us
to make great saving in fuels. Wind
resistance has also been reduced by
airplane styling and body design. The
combination of the two permits great
gains in fuel economy. Two years ago
the light six would deliver around Is
or 16 miles per gallons of gasoline un-
der normal touring service. Today a
light six will deliver about 20 to 81
miles per gallon, under the same con-
ditions.
Moreover, present-day builders de-
mand a car that will look we'll and
perform efficiently when it leaves the
factory-and for tens of thousands of
miles afterwards. So have there been
many developments in construction
that make for durability, sturdiness
and rattle-proof long life.
Take the new box side members OF

past engineers have used many types

the two side members are joined to-

During the year 1897 the bicycle
gained such popularity that it soon
became one of the principal forms Of
recreation Of that era Bicycle clubs
were formed. road races were popular
events, and the thoroughfares were
thronged with riders.
Thousands of bikes were In use, and
with the new craze came the speeder
and the reckless driver necessitating
the enactment of laws and ordinances
for the use of bicycles upon the public
roadways Speed was restricted to 8
miles an hour lights and signal bells
were required, and it was unlawful to
ride more than two abreast.
At this juncture the nucleus Of
bicycle squad was formed in the police
department. A few men were assigned
their wheels, in order to enforce the
laws governing the use Of the bicycle,
and as time went on additional men
were so detailed to this duty.
Then the automobile cast its shadow
upon the horizon Of progress. The
new vehicle began to force the bicycle
from our streets and avenues. and to
present new problems Of trafflc and
speed regulation so that life and prop
erty might be protected.
New Machine Sought.
It was soon realized by the police
that the bicycle could not efficiently
cope with this new menace to the or
derly operation Of vehicular traffc, and
the authorities sought q competent
and effective means Of meeting the
challenge of gasoline and decided to
fight fire with fire"
The motor cycle was then intro
duced into police service. From the
moment Of its adoption its worth was
apparent and the speeder became more
tractable and law abiding. recognizing
in this new agency a foeman worthy
of his steel.
From 1905, the year when the first
patrolman was assigned to motor cycle
duty, the number was gradually in
creased, and the motor cycle men were
assigned to the various boroughs,
where they became part Of the pre-
cinct personnel.
With the continued expansion. how
ever it was deemed expedient to estab-
lish a central control of this force.
This was made possible by organizing
q NOtOT cycle bureau III NOVemUeT,
1917. Today the motor cycle bureau
maintains personnel Of 400 men. with
an administrative office located at po-
lice headquarters, Manhattan.
While the primary duty Of the bu-
reau is to operate against speeders,
reckless drivers and violators Of traf-
fic regulations, the nature Of its motor
equipment, with speed possibility of
from 80 to 80 miles an hour, provides
a mobile police unit which makes pos
sible its conversion to practically all
requirements of police service.
Motor cycle patrol is so regulated and
controlled that a complete mobilization
Of Its force throughout the five bor-
oughs may be effected within the hour.
AS an example Of this. I should like
to recall the incident of the attempted
Jail break at the Tombs Prison on Cen

VALVES IN OLD GUIDES
MOST EASILY HANDLED
Car Owners Make Grinding Job
Less Efhcient by Failing to
Mark Them Properly.

One reason why many car owners
have trouble when they attempt to do
their own valve grinding work Is because
they overlook the matter Of replacing
the valves In the guides where they were
found. No consideration Is given the
fact that even If q valve is badly In need
of service it still fits its own respective
niche to surprising degree. Mechanics
take this into account when they set
valves in special rack to keep them In
proper order.
1t used to be the rule to tap mark"
valves when removing them. but this
plan is impractical for multi-cylinder
engines. The usual way for an eight.
cylinder job, for instance. is to remove
eight valves at time, finishing one set
before taking out the other.

IDENTIFYING KNOCKS
Those Of Piston Pins Noticea BILE
When Engine Runs Free.

Piston pin knocks are likely to be
heard when the momentum Of the car
is causing the engine to run rather
freely. The pins then are said to be
floating" They may also rap on
pull. Valve knocks often are so loud as
to make the motorist think he is up
against real trouble. That, in fact, is
one way to tell them"

Duplex Decision AstoundS
Crowd in Madison
Square Garden.
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-The ink is
driving today on the duplex deci-
sior," another goofy chapter in the
book of boxing plumbers that may
rank in beak-busting history with
the memorable Chicago long
count
This double barreled verdict was
rendered last night after the twelve
round bout in which Tony Can
zoneri, former lightweight cham
pion, beat Cleto Locatelli OF Italy
for the second time in six weeks.
Nearly 5000 fans in Madison
Square Garden heard ancient Joe
HUMPHREYS announce the decision
was draw" Uncle Joe announced
it clearly and distinctly into the
loud speaker, and with the appro-
pirate split of the hands.
Fans Are Puzzled
About fifteen minutes later, after
Canzoneri and Locatelli were IN
their dressing rooms and after a
pair of curtain troopers had boxed
three rounds, Uncle Joe again strobe
to the center of the ring and an
nounced, clearly and distinctly, that
Canzoneri was the 'Winnah."
The fans were nonplused. They
had witnessed many untoward incl
dents in New York boxing bouts, but
never before had they been treated
to the duplex" Taken aback, they
instinctively seized upon the fans
only weapon of self-defense. They
booed lustily-not at CanzonerlS
victory but at the official boner.
The error was explained like this
In collecting the judges ballots
HUMPHREYS glanced at Abe God
berg's slip and saw the first words
contest draw" Without reading
further, he picked up the slip of the
other Judge, Leach Cross who voted
for Canzoneri. This made a dis
agreement. So he called upon Ref
cree Willie Lewis who voted for a
draw.
Tony Does CartwheeIs
Unfortunately Judge Goldberg
had filled out his slip as follows
Contest draw-Canzoneri doing the
best work in his winning rounds
Canzoneri wins
Canzoneri was electrified in his
dressing room. He turned hand
springs. He had intended to retire
unless he won. But the changed
decision instead made him the I'M
disputed challenger for Barney
Ross lightweight crown.
The United Press score sheet
showed that Tony won six rounds,
Locatelh five, and the eleventh was
scored even. Tony f1oored Cleto for
no counts in the second and third
rounds with hard right hooks to the
jaw. He had him groggy and hang
ing on the ropes in the eighth, and
was walloping him at will in the
twelfth. A persistent body attack
weakened Locatelli in the late
rounds.
