Safety Gasoline Tank

To lessen the danger o. explosion
and fire after highway accidents, q
safety gasoline tank has been de-
veloped for trucks. Ruggedly built,
with electrically welded seams, II
is designed to resist battering in q
collision or rupture from internal
pressure. says Popular Mechanics.
Gasoline cannot escape IL the truck
tips over. for the intake and air
''breather" pipes both extend across
the tank; tipped with the tank cap
down, the pipe ends are out Of the
gasoline; tipped to the other side,
the tank cap is above the fuel; up
side down, check ball in the air
vent prevents leakage. The tank
cannot be filled deeper than the lew
ell of the ''breather" pipe. and thus
there is always an air space pro-
viding for expansion Of II to Is
per cent. Explosion is prevented by
a fusible alloy plug in the cap. Be-
cause of the length Of the intake
pipe, theft Of gasoline is exceedingly
difficult. The tank can be installed
on any truck.

Unsuitable Curiosity Aids
Scientific Investigators

Scientific investigators must pos
sess certain innate attributes that
are not acquired by education alone,
writes DR.. M. L. Crossley in paper
prepared for the American Chem
ical society. These fundamental
prerequisites for research are an in
satiable desire to know, disciplined
imagination and originality. With
out these no amount of education
will produce an investigator. This
is true in any field of investigation
and particularly important in chem
ical research. An aptitude for
chemistry is not sufficient reason to
encourage a person to prepare him.
self for research. Many persons I'M
dertaking research in chemistry are
capable only of doing cookbook
chemistry"
A research chemist should have
the ability to use his hands skill
fully. And it cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the investigator
must have a high degree of tolera-
ton for the view of others and that
he faithfully attempt to ascertain
the correct basis on which to judge
the results of the work of other in
vestigators. Intolerance distorts the
thought processes and leads to false
pictures of what it is desired to &C.
complish.

Angle Street Crossings
Present Traffic Hazards

Streets that intersect at sharp an
giles are not only hazards for motor
traffic but constitute good exam
pie of land waste as well
When streets are planned to cross
each other or form '"T' at APP
proximately right angles both OF
these objections are overcome.
Square-cornered lots, which are bet
ter adapted as sites for residential
structures than irregularly shaped
lots with sharp-pointed corners, will
be assured by this type Of street de-
sign. The total length of street
system within subdivision will also
be reduced, thus effecting a saving
in construction costs.
Many traffic difficulties in SUBJ
urban districts result from bad
street intersections. When a local
street enters a major street at an
acute angle, visibility is seriously
impaired, and traffic has a tendency
to move in and out of such streets
without reduction of speed.
These two factors are largely re-
sponsible for the enormous loss OF
life due to automobile accidents at
street intersections in residential
areas. Traffic-control devices are
poor substitutes for good street de-
sign.

Salt Beds of Michigan
Hold Great Reservoir

LANSING, MICH.-Conservatlon
department officials estimated that
Michigan, the nations leading salt
producing area, has $4,000 square
miles of salt under its southern
peninsula-enough to supply the
world for 1000, 900 years.
The departments estimates
showed that the entire area could be
covered to a depth of more than 500
feet with the surplus underground.
o. F. Poindexter, department geo.
logical engineer who made the sur
vey, said the salt varies in its depth
below the ground from 1000 to 5000
feet.
The present evident surplus, Poin-
dexter said, also would supply the
United States for 3,000,000 years.
Michigan annually supplies Is per
cent of the salt consumed for table
and industrial use. ~

Speed Of Car Drivers
Is Analysed by Expert

Automobile owners drive more
slowly than individuals driving Dor
rowed cars, and drivers on short
trips 60 slower than those on long
trips, according to a study OF the
speed of motorists, recently complet-
ed under the direction Of DR.. Harry
r. De Silva of Yale university. This
speed study was carried on in con.
junction with Dr. De Silva's study
Of the human element in automobile
accidents.
The analysis proved rather con-
clusively that new cars travel at
higher speeds than old cars. The
average age of the cars which trav-
eled at 60 miles an hour and over
is IL years. Those which travelled
at 40 miles and over an hour were
"a years old, while the cars that
went along from 80 to 80 miles an
hour averaged 3.3 years.
Male drivers from 35 to 80 years
old drove at an average speed OF
45.3 miles an hour and ranged from
20.3 miles an hour to more than "
miles an hour. according to the sur
vey. Male drivers from 60 to SO
years old averaged only 42.5 miles
an hour and ranged from 24.9 miles
an hour to more than ~ miles an
hour.
The speed data which developed
this data was conducted in Connec-
ticut through the cooperation Of the
Connecticut Motor Vehicle depart
ment and the Connecticut state po-
lice. More than 1000 automobiles
and their drivers were checked. A
special device was used to clock
the speed of passing motorists with
out revealing to the motorists that
they were being checked. A mile
down the road state police stopped
the cars which had been clicked
and had their drivers fill out ques-
tionnaires.

Magyar Indians Get
Culture From Youth
Young College Graduate
Does Missionary Work.

ENID, OKLA.-A one-man cultur-
al revolution is being staged among
the $4,000 Maya Indians OF Central
America, and its spearhead, guio'
ing genius, director and sole motive
force is 27-year-old William BENT
ley, a college graduate.
Bentley entered the tropical re-
gions of the Maya country as mis-
sionary two yesrs ago, with an am
bition to translate the Bible into the
Maya language.
Since then his difficulties have be-
come almost as numerous as tne
people he has sought to befriend.
The Mayas have no alphabet and
Bentley has set out to create one.
His preliminary work, however, mas
been concerned mainly with learning
the Maya language, a laborious task
itself because the use of Spanish is
required and interpreters who speak
both Spanish and Magyar are rare.
When he first arrived, the lam
guage difficulties threatened to de-
stroy his whole project. The natives
were hostile and unfriendly because
they were unable to converse with
the missionary.
Bentley studied long time to find
a method of breaking down the bar
riers and finally hit upon a simple
scheme, in the best movie explorer
fashion, to arouse friendi'~"ss
among the Indians.
He attracted a large crowd and
taking can of popcorn which he
had remembered to bring along,
popped it for the benefit of the In
dams. They were fascinated by the
process and the impasse was ended.
Bentley, a graduate of Phillips
university at Enid, first planned to
become a surgeon until he decided
that field was overcrowded and
chose instead the career of a mis-
sionary.
He has been on a leave of absence
from his mission post for several
months, studying languages in the
United States. He plans to return
some time this summer.

Model Five-Room Home
Is Erected for $1750

An experimental Ave room house
with bath. that is designed to cost
as little as $3.50. has been success
fully built in Lebanon, N. J.
This unique dwelling was con-
structed under the sponsorship OF
nonprofit research organization in
terested in reducing construction
costs to provide better housing for
more people.
High quality materis's and prac-
teal construction methods, with
certain innovations, were employed.
The main shell of the dwelling is
so designed that it can be erected
by four men in an eight-hour day.
Special plywood construction was
used for exteriors and interiors. en-
tire wall panels being fabricated in
a temporary workshop at the job
and erected as units.
Almost all furniture, including
beds, is built in. Another innova-
ton was a patented wiring system
with electrical conduits embodied in
an ornamental molding, having out
lets every few feet. A fireplace and
efficient heating unit were combined
and hard sheet lead was used for
flashing.
Paint styling is relied on to a
great extent to produce individuality
and the effect of large size in this
minimum home. Since the outer
walls were formed in three horizon
tai panels separated by narrow
structural members, it was found
that by painting the middle panel
a slightly lighter shade of the same
color apparent height of the house
was increased. Still lighter shade
on the trim and horizontal bands
seemed to give the house added
length.

Hard Water Problems

The most universal of all water
problems is hardness-the presence
of lime and magnesium. Chemists
and persons who have made study
of water content say that an insolu.
BILE curd is formed when soap unites
with the lime in hard water. This
curd, which appears as a sticky
scum In dishwater, causes consid-
cradle soap waste, as il eliminates
that much soap from the cleaning
process. 1t has been estimated that
in real hard water as much as 90
per cent of all soap used is wasted.
Hard water. in addition TO being
wasteful Of soap, makes drinking
water cloudy and discolored and
often affects its taste, discolors FIX
lures, causes dull glassware, clogs
and enlarges skin pores and makes
fabrics brittle.

Stone Age Wheat Cultivation

Discovery of grain Of wheat be-
low the foundations of prehistoric
settlement at Island McHugh in
Baroncourt lake, County Tyrone,
Ireland, throws an entirely new light
on the life of the first inhabitants Of
Ireland. Two Psychologists, Oliver
Davies of Queens university, Bel
fast, and G.. F. Mitchell, Trinity
college, Dublin, report that the grain
was found at the new Stone age level
dating about 1000 B. G. The settle
ment is on an estate Of the duke OF
Abercorn. 1t has been thought that
the earliest men in the country were
hunters and fishermen only, but the
wheat grain proves them to have
been farmers, the Psychologists
maintain. It is their opinion that
cereals, and the knowledge Of their
cultivation, were brought from the
Mediterranean to Ireland by the
tomb builders.

Radio Policing
AsU.S. Defense
FEC to Add Hundreds of
Air Inspectors to Its
Field Force.

WASHINGTON. - The Federal
Communications commission mas
announced that it is augmenting Its
field force with additional monitor
ing stations as well as new bases
of operation for mobile units 70 ac-
complish more effective policing OF
communications under the co-ordl-
mated national defense program.
Several hundred inspectors and
other radio experts will be employed
for this program, it was announced.
Since the commission is under civil
service the additional personnel Will
come from these rolls.
The additional force is needed, 1t
was announced, to maintain COM
prehensive 24-hour surveillance OF
all communication channels, includ'
ing broadcast and other radio trans
mission. Present radio monitoring
facilities will be supplemented with
10 primary long-range direction
finder stations. These stations de-
termine the bearings of unauthor-
lied or otherwise suspicious COM
munications. The mobile equip
ment, which includes direction find
ing apparatus, traces the origin OF
such transmissions.
Watch All Circuits.
In addition to increased monitor
ing duties, the field division will be
required to watch radiotelegraph
and radiotelephone circuits for SUI
perfluous signals, to record these,
and translate foreign language
broadcast material. 1t must also
make certain of the citizenship OF
several hundred thousand persons
now charged with the responsibility
of communications, as well as OF
their immediate families.
This figure covers about 100000
licensed radio operators, including
amateurs; a like number OF cable
and wire operators, and other en-
| ployees such as those of broadcast
and other radio stations.
Keep Tab on Electricity.
| Another emergency task will be to
guard against the possible misuse
of electrical apparatus, including
diathermy devices (now employed
in many thousand offices Of physl-
cians), as transmitters in a manner
which might jeopardize the nation S
security. Still another undertaking
will be to keep tab on possible use
of transmitters which have been
! manufactured but not. sold or II.
censed for authorized communica-
ton purposes.
The commission now operates
seven monitoring stations, in various
parts of the country, which are
| largely devoted to making routine
measurements of frequencies and
determining the quality Of ennis
sions, as well as spotting interior
ence. In the course of such work,
they observe unlicensed operation
incidentally. However, these moni
toring stations as now manned ano
equipped could not cope with the
additional work contemplated. -.
Congress recently authorized
new monitoring station for Massa
chusetts, but this is to relocate ane
improve the existing one. The new
bases for mobile operation are be
ing established at strategic point:
throughout the United States and it:
possessions. -.
