West Point Of the Air, which

two purposes excellently.
It is q splendid. warm, human

Secondly, q strong dramatic story
Is played out against q new back
ground, a background which few
Americans know anything about. a
background Of utmost importance
to the future Of the United States
1.-The huge air college at Ran
dolph Field, Texas.
Berry, as a grizzled old aviation
sergeant. bridges the gap between
the army air days Of rickety
crates" or flying coffins," as
they were called, to the ultra-effi-
cient air arm Of today. He does
even better than his usual job.
This extra margin OF excellence is
undoubtedly due to the fact that
aviation is Beery's great hobby.
Great in that flying picture Of
the Navy, Hell Divers" Beery is
even greater in West Point of
the Air" The reason undoubtedly
lies in the story; the great interest
~revolves around this old veteran

The rattlesnaKe. the copper

First Aid Measures
Apply a tourniquet a few in.
ches above the bite-a handker-

enough to stop circulation but to
retard the flow of blood in the
veins first under the skin on its
flow toward the heart.
The sole object of the tourni.
quet is to delay absorption of the
poison into the general circulation
Too tight a bandage will cause
eangrene and destruction of the
flesh below it.
Therefore it is important to re-
lease it every IS minutes for
minute at a time.
Apply local treatment by max.
ing an incision and suction.
Make cross cut incision at
each fang mark t inch deep andX
inch lang. This will allow some of
the poison fluid to escape.
The removal of the poisinous
fluids is increased by the suction

safely if there are NO sores or scra-
tches on the tongue or membrane

This suction should be repeat.

STATE SAFETY
COUNCIL NEWS
Question of Speed Explained
AS One Meaning
Disaster
PRECAUTION MEASURES

In our national cross-road puzzle
there is a little five letter word
meaning disaster" and it is spell
ed SPEED, according to the
Delaware Safety Council. Many
traffic authorities claim that speed
was the leading cause of our toll of
35, 500 traffic deaths and more than
a million injuries during 1884. 9th
ers agree that it is one of two or
three of the most important caus-
es. The energy of a moving body
is in proportion to the square of
the speed. When speed is increas-
ed from 20 to 40 miles per hour,
the energy is multiplied not by two,
but by four. A jump from 20 to
so miles means the energy is null
tiplied by nine. Which means, that
your auto will go that much farth-
er before it can be stopped safely.
Of course, it can be stopped much
quicker than that if it happens to
crash into solid object. Highway
haste stumbles over its own heels
and causes inexcusable waste of
life and property. Speed may be
highly desirable at times, but safe
ty is absolutely necessary always.
Just remember that death rides the
running board when you drive too
fast. When it's speed or safety,
choose safety. When it's adher-
ence to the right-of-way or safety,
choose safety. The driver who
takes chances must expect to take
consequences. One may get away
with frequent violations or live
through hair-breath escapes, but

IMPROVING IN EFFICIENCY
Chevrolet Motor Company Engin-
eers Continually on the Job

Automobile engines will continue
to improve in efficiency year after
year, but future gains will be util-
lied to increase economy, rather
than to add to the horsepower and
speed of cars, according to James
M. Crawford, chief engineer of the
Chevrolet Motor Company. From
the early days of the automobile, ="
said Mr.. Crawford in a recent ad-
dress at Detroit, "'the demand has
been for more power per pound of
car weight. AS the industry pro-
gressed, we learned how to get
more power out of an engine of
given size, and how to reduce car
weight too, until today it is a SIM
pie matter to give car all the ac-
celeration and all the road speed
that can be desired. From now on,
engineering for economy will gain
in Importance. As the efficiency of
engines increases, we can reduce
their size without reducing power,
thus bettering the ratio of power
to weight. AS fuels improve, we
will use less gasoline to develop
any given horsepower. OF course,
every automotive engineer con-
Smyrna times., 1935-11-28

stantly seeks to improve economy
of operation. That is, he has for
his constant goal the achievement
of maximum efficiency-and effic-
iency, after all, means economy.
Until very recently, automotive en-
gineers sought increases of effic-
iency chiefly as a means of getting
more power and more speed. The
greatest advances were made with
the coming of better gasoline
that burns readily and completely,
and without knocking. 1t was these
new fuels that brought about the
modern high-compression automo-
bile engines. AS fuels improved,
engineers increased the compress
sion ratios of their engines. That
gave more power faster cars.
Chevrolet engineers sought and OBJ
tanned efficiency by still other
methods notably by the develop
ment of the blue flame principle of
combustion chamber design. The
result was worth while, for we OBJ
tanned increased power, with per-
feet smoothness, at no increase in
fuel consumption. In our 1885 en-
gines, our compression ratio was
Sc to /, and maximum horsepoW-
er was 80. In the 1886 models, the
compression is higher 6 to i but
the horsepower is no greater than
before. We raised the compression
4 for economy only. That is, instead
of utilizing the gain to step up the
power, we purposely held the pow
er as it was before, and cut down
the fuel required to produce that
power. The result of this process,
which we call internal governing
! is a 6 per cent saving in gasoline. "

there is one traffic law that IS en-
forced everywhere. That is the
law of averages" An inexorable
law under which no tickets are
ever torn up, no fines remitted,. no
sentences suspended. 1t doesn't
necessarily mean an accident, nor
an injury nor death whenever a
driver takes chance. But it does
prescribe that with so many chanc-
es there is bound to be an injury
and with SO many more a fatality.
1t is stern law that cannot be ig-
nored and it follows that the fell
