Ford Brakes Of
Superior
Design

The Ford VS. for 1896 is the only
motor car in the low-priced field hav-
ing torque tube drive with both front
and rear axles held accurately in
alignment, according to r. W. LIE Due,
local Ford dealer Because Of its de-
sign, the Ford VS. is perfectly adapted
for mechanical brakes, which is not SO
of any other loW-priced car
With the Ford chassis design, the
braking force applied to each wheel is
not altered by axle movement. The
brakes require less frequent readjust-
ment and need less servicing than other
types. The disturbing possibility of
brake failure is virtually eliminated
1t is also possible to use much longer
friction surface in a mechanical brake.
for given drum diameter. This does
away with the need for very wide
drums, which bell mouth" through ex-
pansion under continuous or repeated
application Of the brakes and cause

braking surface of the Ford VS. is 1856
square inches, placing it right at the

weight of the car, and for long life of
brake Innings.
Ford brakes have simple adjustment
making them suitable for either of two
kinds of drivers-those who prefer an
easy" and softer pedal action, such as
women drivers desire; and those who
want the greatest effectiveness and less
frequent readjustment even at the ex-
pense of slightly greater pedal pressure

Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

TOHN WINTHROP JR-. first colonial Governor of
~ Connecticut the founder of the chemical
industries in America 800 years ago. That is the
opinion Of the American Chemical Society which de-
cries the popular opinion that the American chemical
industry got its start after the World War when GER
tain German patents seized.
Winthrop will be duly honored when the society
holds meeting in New York from April % to % to
observe the tercentenary of the industry.
The date is given 1885 by committee of the
society headed by DR. C. A Browne. chief of chemical
and chronological research in the United States Bu
reau of Chemistry and Soils.
DR.. Browne reports that Winthrop sailed for Eng
land on an errand in the interests of the Bay Colony
in the autumn Of 1884 During the visit he was COM
msSioned by Lord Say and Lord Brook TO found a
new colony in Connecticut. He returned TO New
England IN 1886 ready 10 carry out his commission
and with the title Of Governor.
1T is remarkable what Winthrop attempted to do
in the New England colonies DR.. Browne says He
interested in the production of salt IRON glass,
potash tar black lead. sahpeter, medicines, copper,
alum and other chemicals.
WINTHROP and his uncle, Emanuel Downing,
w made what were probably the first experiments
upon the manufacture of indigo within the present
borders OF the United States. DR.. Browne says.
In the library Of the Massachusetts, Historical
Society Of Boston. among the unpublished papers Of
John Winthrop. is document which should be of
great historic interest 70 chemists 1t is Winthrops
outline Of plan. the first Of the kind in America,
10 form a chemical stock company" he says
Winthrop born at Groton, England, Feb. IL,
1906. he admitted TO the bar in 1925 and then
spent the next five years in travel. In 1880, his
father sailed for the new colony at Massachusetts,
Say and year later young Winthrop joined him.
VOUNG WINTHROP began 10 import chemicals
Il and apparatus from England. DR.. Browne says.
The first shipment dated March 20, 1888 and the
bill Is preserved among the Winthrop papers in the
library OF the Massachusetts, Historical Society.
DR.. Browne gives him credit for establishing the
first chemical library in America. A remnant Of
some 70 books from this library are preserved in
the library OF the society in New York.
Several OF them contain upon the fy leaves in
terestng annotstions by Winthrop" DR.. Browne Silys
The books Will be exhibited during the tercentenary
meeting in New York.

Huey Lacks Organization

7 AM not yet convinced that anything Of TINS SORT
is likely to happen but II Is an interesting theory
worthy Of examination. Naturally It IS predlcateo
on the assumption that between now and the next
election the President VIII lose enormous amount
of strength and Huey make corresponding gains.
ONLY a month ago the defeat of Roosevelt In 1886
seemed an utter impossibity. In fact, was look
ing around to see if I might not sneak in a bet, at
the proper odds. that he would carry every state.
In spite OF currents that have set against him ne
still is a Cinch in any twO-horse race against the
usual sort OF Republican platter The peculiarly dam
gerous quality which Longs candidacy would have
is the fact that Huey could certainly make the
South good deal less than solid. He could cut into
what has been the Democratic irreducible minimum
in every year except the Al Smith campaign of 1928
Huey,s handicap is lack of organization. He has,
OF course a highly efficient and wholly owned local
machine in Louisiana. and he can organize likewise
in Alabama. Mississippi. Georgia, and perhaps
Arkansas and Oklahoma In the North he has
nothing. At the moment it seems unlikely that the
La FOlletes Id swing to him, but stranger things
have happened. The persistence of the Roosevelt
swing to the right might leave some of the Farm
Progressves in spot where they might have to
swallow Huey.
The Fascist quality of Longs personality and
program have not Yet been made apparent to the
great Of American voters, but that will hardly
be argument the Roosevelt forces can use effec-
lively because Of the similar tendency in their own
ranks.

indianapolis FURRY Recalled

TN the meanwhile, summer drew on and the little,
i dirty-mouthed kids in the streets began to duck
themselves in the sort of bird bath which surrounded
the tough guy to the renewed CONSERVATION of the
indignant ladies and Mayor Hyan.
Accordingly, policeman detailed to stand
watch at the fountain during the day and keep the
children at distance from moral perils which they
VOTED nothing of. But, under cover of night,
tain vandals probably in the employ of the big
business interests which always seeking to de-
stroy the city, crept up the tough guy and covered
his southerly expanSe with coat of red paint. The
police baffled.
In time, what with fan dancers on Broadway and
meat shows in the burlesque houses the city became
Injured to the statue OF the tough guy and the fish
or whatever they were The little, dirty 1nouthed
kids in the streets were permitted to gambol and
splash unmolested in the shallow pool on hot sum-
mer days.
Life went on in New York just as it had done IN
indianapolis, where group of indignant ladies once
had demanded that pair of male Wrestlers in an
art gallery be attired in the conventional trunks
prescribed by Article TX of the revised code of the
boxing commission In Indianapolis it was explained
that in order to disintangle the wrestlers to put
tights them it would be necessary to blast. As
compromise it was agreed to post sign in the cor
ridor reading: "Warning-Naked wrestlers ahead"
Now, in 1885, Alderman Peter j. McGuinness is
promoting a demand that the statue of the tough
guy be awarded to Greenpont "the garden spot Of
the world with promise to dress him in red
union suit and the sirens fish in costumes Of be-
coming modesty.
But Mr.. Davenport, who made the tough guy
famous, has gone cosric and is writing intellectual
exercises the state of the republic for magazine.
There is nobody around to finish the story he started
with such enviable art in 1922

Storm, Reached NeW Height

MIR. DAVENPORT then suggested to Mr.. Nc
1V1 Guinness that the ladies we're not really ladies'
but sirens. Mr.. McGuinnesS retorted that he

nevertheless knew enough about ladies to recognize
lady in the raw when he saw one.
"A SIREN" Mr.. McGuinnesS said, sis what they
have on fire engine You know. Whr-r-roo- oo-r-r.
Don't tell me. Never Let catch any shameless
crumpets riding the fire engines through the Streets
of Greenpoint holering whr-r-roo-r-r without any
clothes on. We have made other provisions"
This kind of siren is a sort of fish," Mr.. Daven-
port persisted and when this unSpeakable insult
published in the paper the storm reached new
height of fury The ladies of the Eighteenth assem-
bly, district again marched the City Hail. insist
ing that the tough guy be taken away lest the youth
of America receive the vile impression that ladies
not only vicious and corrupt but worse yet fish.
Mr.. Silver Dick Enright, who held the office of
police commissioner under Michael the Red detailed
detectives to investigate the character of Mr.. Fred
erick L. MacMonnieS, the sculptor who had executed
the offensive piece. They reported back in due
course that Mr.. MacMonnieS a man who some
times had ladies come to his studio and take their
clothes off while he made statues of them plainly
immoral proceeding to their way of thinking.
Throughout the scandal Mr. Davenport, with
wicked humor, continued to poke up Red Mike, Sill
yer Dick and the Hon. Peter j. McCuinness of
Greenpoint, "the garden spot of the world"
The fame of the tough guy spread like that of an
earlier work of art, September Morn" There were
learned discussions in the civic chamber of the dis
tinction between fire engine siren and fish of the
name having the appointments of a lady, and
of the prOpriety Of group depicting nude male of
gigantic proportions and rather apathetic mien
trampling on the architecture of two females, even
if they fish.
How were the little, dirty-mouthed kids in the
streets to know that they were fish? And how could
a virtuous member of Engine No. SO return to face
the little in his humble fiat after riding the
streets with siren?

MY own feeling is that while Huey can raise

Roosevelt party would not profit much because the

The present complications suggest one other pos

ing of Roosevelt, Hucy Long and Hoover his
equivalent ought to constitute very pressing invi

the election comparatively close at hand such party
should be able to capture seats in Congress and lay

have even been such things political miracles.
But the labor groups Will get nowhere unless they

OXYGEN once was just an emergency remedy
~ rushed in when patients were at the point OF
death.
Today it is well established as a useful remedy
in many forms Of disease and it is recognized that
early use of oxygen may be far more beneficial
than any attempt to delay its application in certain
types of cases, until emergency exists.
New oxygen devices include incubators which
keep premature infants in high oxygen atmos-
phere. For grown-ups there oxygen tents, oxy-
gen rooms and special devices for breathing oxy-
gen on more limited scale
In use of the oxygen tent, the oxygen in the
air is Kept down at about a so per cent level in
contrast with the normal level. About one standard
tank Of oxygen a day is required.
IF an oxygen tent is not available temporary
