Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ

A NEW era in motor design, in which the pas
N senger instead of the engine or the differental
gets the first consideration, has dawned ACCORDING
to Charles F. Kettering. vice president of General
Motors Corp.
DR.. Referring who is in charge of the corpor-
atoms research division expressed his views at New
Yorks annual auto show.
THE rider is going to get more and more conSld-
Grafton" Dr. Kettering said. with the engine and
the rest of the machinery going into the space left
Further advances in automobile design depend
upon advances in three fields, DR.. Hettering said
They are the fields of the pneumatic tire petroleum
and steel alloys
The fact is sometimes lost sight of that there
would not be any automobile at all today If it were
not for the pneumatic tire" he said.
What can do in the way of improved engine
design depends largely upon the fuels will have
to work with. We have been gradually pushing up
the compression ratio in the engine. The limiting
factor has been what the fuel would stand.
With better fuels. the compression ratio can be
increased There is enough research to be done IN
the petroleum field to keep scientists busy for the
next 10 years.
we don't know the fundamental fact about a
gasoline engine-how the fuel and air burn in the
cylinder
DR. KETTERING said that plenty of explanations
- had been advanced as to what happens in the
engine cylinder, but that the explanations didn't
check with experiments in his laboratory
Were willing to admit that some scientists know
what happens in the cylinder" Dr. Kettering said,
with smile, but we're too dumb to understand the
explanations
DR.. Kettering said that he expected that the
Diesel engine would find important in the rail-
road business but that it remained to be seen how
much the Diesel engine would cut in on the present
automobile engine.
Time and economics will have to decide the
issue" DR.. Kettering said.
A SKED what the automobile of the future was
L n going to be like, he replied:
IF we knew what automobiles were going to be
like two years from today, would build them
now"
DR.. Kettering indicated that the subject Of
streamlining could be carried to extremes.
When think of streamlined taxicab in New
York Traffic I think that you might just as we'll
streamline a clothes wringer a iatiron.
ITS always good idea to turn to nature. Ma
lure did a good job of streamlining fish and birds
but didn't to think it very necessary with land
animals
Perhaps the animal that comes closest to being
streamlined is the mud turtle"

election quite a number voted for
Father Coughlin.
The primary votes are counted,
and the highest two in each dis
trict become the candidates at the
f1nal election. On this ballot, if
the candidate has an utilization,
this is printed on the ballot.
The one who gets the most votes
wins, and becomes an accredited
member of the bargaining agency.
This new agency or council will
have exclusive right to bargain
with the management under rules
to be announced later by the
board.
An additional guarantee is made
to groups. If the primary cleo
ton shows a substantial number
of votes for a certain organiza-
ton, the board gives it a proper
tionate number of members on
the bargaining agency even if no
member of that organization is
finally elected.
EOR instance, in the Cadillac
Il primary election, 1894 men
voted, despite A. F. of L. in
structions to boycott the election.
about 100 men were at work the
day Of the election) Of the 1894,
there were 140 ballots spoiled and
thrown out (defaced or illegible),
81 specified the A. F. of L. as rep
resentative, 20 the Mechanics Ed
ucation Society, 7 an engineers
organization, l the Auto Workers
Union (CommInist), $50 the
Cadillac Employees Association,
and 1176 voted for plain represen-
tatives whose utilization (if any
was not specified.
In the final election, 1850 votes
were cast and only 40 spoiled (the
men were learning). The result

Is undesignated. Several Of these
belonged to the A. F. of L., but
were not designated as such by
the voters).
Since $50 voters had specified
Cadillac Employees Association at
the primary, one more member
was added as representing that
body, taking the highest G. E. A.
candidate, and making a council
IF IT instead Of 16
This plan was worked out be-
cause it was seen that perhaps
majority of votes at the pri-
mary might specify, say the
American Federation of Labor,
and yet every one of it's candi-
dates might lose at the final vote.
The adding of representatives
prevents such body of opinion
being squeezed out, even though
all its individual candidates should
lose.

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN,

VARIOUS authorities estimate that infamna-
tons of the joints and rheumatic conditions
due to intestinal causes in from 20 to % per
cent of cases.
One group insists that the taking of sugars is
largely responsible and they cut down on such sub
stances. Another group claims that overeatng Of
protein foods, such as meat, eggs and fish may be
harmful.
You can see that persons who regularly overeat
ought to eat less and those who are overweight
should take smaller amounts of carbohydrates The
sick person is likely to suffer in the nutrition of his
tissues, and it may be hazardous to cut down TOO
greatly protein foods.
Some faddistS insist on omission of all acid fruits
and vegetables. The foods commonly called acid
fruits include tomatoes oranges grapefruit and lem
ons. Actually these foods contain weak acids which
are oxdized in the body and the end result is aka
line
you should remember moreover that such foods
l. represent the primary contribution to the diet
OF vitamin G and that they also provide good
amount OF vltamln A. They are really essential to
any well-balanced diet and there is nothing to show
that they should not be included in the diet of a
person with arthritis
quite recently some faddists have insisted that a
person with rheumatic condition should not eat
a mixed DIET and that the presence of protein in
the stomach interferes with the digestion of sarches
This is another indication of the lack of knowledge
Of physiology
THIS process may be temporarily interrupted in
l. the stomach because starches are NOT dieested
in the presence of acid from the gastric Juice How
the digestion of starch is again resumed when
the food passes from the stomach into the intestineS
where the juices are alkaline.
It has been pointed out that such animals as the
dog, the cat, and the COW do not have ferments in
their saliva for digestng starcheS and that in such
animals, which live chiefly foods containing
sarches all digestion of starch takes place after the
food has left the stomach.

PROPOSES CHANGE
IN MARRIAGE LAW
Measure Would Require
Permit 5 DAYS Ahead.

Applications for marriage licenses
must be filed five days in advance
of the issuance of the license, under
the provisions of a bill which will
be introduced in the House of
Representatives by the Rev. Morris
H. CoerS Cd, Indianapolis).
Also required would be physical
examinations of the applicants
showing them to be free from social
diseases.
Introduction of the bill was urged

said, as curb upon unlawful mar
riages and to diminish hereditary
diseases.

sponsors of the auto elections
point out if any union has the
plant highly organized, it can
easily elect big majority, or even
100 per cent, of the men on the
bargaining agency.
II
TN elections conducted thus far,
l. auto workers have shown a
marked tendency to elect repre-
Sentatives who belong to no organ
ization at all; both A. F. of L. and
company union" candidates have
been far outdistanced by candi-
dates running independently.
With the auto code expiring Feb.
3, and with the A. F. of L. unions
threatening to withdraw from
their agreement under which the
auto boards is functioning, the
ultimate effect of the present cleo
lions on the industry is unknown.
But as an experiment in indus
trial democracy, it is drawing the
eyes not only of the auto world,
but of the other great industries
now seeking to solve the collective
bargaining problem.
The Automobile Labor Board,
which has been under savage at
tack by A. F. of L. organizers in
Detroit, points to a year of def
mite progress in an industry which
has always been among the most
ruthless in employer employe re-
lations.
The board has handled some
5000 complaints, mostly cases of
alleged discrimination" nearly
all the men concerned are back at
work.

Judgment Is Withheld

THAT Mr.. Reilly, with his long experience and
Il vast success in serving justice should have made
such sparing of this sharp blade in Hsupt-
mannS behalf is disappointment to one who has
long followed his career with certain admiration.
Always up to now your correspondent had regarded
Mr. Reilly most illustrous criminal lawyer
and had promised himself that if he ever got into
trouble he would try to hire Mr.. Reilly to ask the
prosecutors star witness to tell the jury about the
time he tried to push the old lady under the train.
Just any old lady and any train.
But perhaps your correspondent wrongs Mr.
Reilly It may be that he does not regard this
a real tough and therefore finds it unneces-
Sary to let himself out. After ALL there isn't much
evidence against his client beyond the fact that he
was caught with the goods This might be an inn
posing job to some attorneys, but not necessarily
to genius who once heard a judge remark despond-
emily to jury at the conclusion of a really murder
trial, Gentlemen, the same lawyer defended both
men; gentlemen, two murderers have been let 60"
If Mr.. Reilly is going to get hot at all he prob
the prosecution knows And then, even if the state
has placed Bruno Richard Hauptmann in the baby's
bedroom on the night in question it will still be
possible to argue that he only went there to ask
directions and killed in self-defense when the child
made a savage attack him with his rattle. Per-
hapS the baby was blackmaer the master-mind
of ring of counterfeiters Judgment must be with
held until the defense is in.

DO 1t Right Reilly

IF the game is worth playing at all it is worth
l. playing well ard Mr.. Reilly while he at it,
might have shot the works and brought into court
the entire roster of all the churchyardS and
tories from the date of the kidnapping down to the
present hour And in the matter of smear, he seems
to have been careless of his treatment of Others
If it all right to insinuate that DR.. Condor
had been transferred from school to another
many years ago for archng his neck and tossing his
name at the female members of the staff, it would
have been equally k and equally effective to throw
in suggestion when Col Lindbergh was on the
stand that he used double in his celebrated fight
to Paris.
The beauty of an attorneys position in such cir
cun1StanceS is that he needn't bother about any
basis in fact but may ask witness if he isn't sure
that he has habit of kicking crippleS moleSting
little girls up alleys solely for the effect if any,
which the nsinuation may have the minds of
jurors. 1t is familiar and sacred device of those
who adorn the bar in the criminal branch and often
amounts TO a strong defensive weapon because a
respectable citizen naturally feels some delicacy
about going the stand and having counsel ask
him If he didn't first meet his wife in hop joint.
1t is terrifying enough to the author of bameess
life, but even more discouragng to a man or wom-
an who is now, used to be- fond of cutting up
every and again.
The current private frivolities past follies of
the witness may have no bearing on the evidence in
the case at hand but his life becomes open book

Tense start questioning his neighbors and fellow
Workmen including, of course, his enemies. Taking

soon finds himself the victim of sheer gossip malice,
