$4,000 Miles
Without Repairs

With record OF 147,000 miles
OF continuous day and night
driving through the sands of
Texas entirely free from trouble,
Chrysler's fluid drive has com
pleted one of the most gruelling
tests ever imposed on automo-
bile mechanism.
Two Chrysler cars with fluid
drive have been operated for the
last year by Sears, Roebuck and
Company of Chicago, in its test
T1ect at San Antonio. Tex. The
purpose of this test fleet Is 10
determine the quality Of tires,
engine oil. and spark plugs that
are merchahdized by this great
company.
Cars are driven "a hours a day
every dayfn the year and driv-
crs are instructed to punish
them in order that the high
quality OF the goods may be
determined beyond any chance
OF error. The standard driving
speed is 60 miles an hour. with
three drivers operating on eight
hour shifts to keep the cars con-
stantly on the tests. Expert
mechanics service the vehicles
at regular intervals.
L. A. Verne, superintendent
In charge of the test fleet, re-
ports that no service was neces-
sary on fluid drive during
147.000 miles Of operation, in
spite of the continuous and
varied punishment given the
cars.

Will.to-power

For those who would like TO
begin the study Of one Of the
greatest thinker-poets who ever
lived Professor nrinton's book
is a good introduction.
Nietzsche's root-thought was
"will-to- power"--that Is, what
ever exists desires power over
some one else, or over some
thing That even applies to love-
Nietzsche was thus the OAR
win of psychology. Man. he said.
exists TO conquer. Even the
saint in the desert proves this,
for he seeks self conquest.
Much can be quoted from
NietLsche TO support the theo-
ries of the Nazis, but no greater
hater OF tho Germans ever lived
than Nietzsche. He wouldn't
even live in his native country.
The mistake the Nazis make
il in applying universal law to
themselves alone. He meant

and it is quite conceivable that it
may be ordered in the future to
train other squadrons.
The problems which it has been
attempting to solve, and which 1t
will more easily, solve when its bona
f1de barrage balloons come through,
are these:
For Americas usage, should the
balloons be of so-called lethal or
non-lethal type? The former means
that the cable is tough enough to
wreck an airplane, while the latter's
cable can be cut by swift fighting
bomber or fighter craft.
If we want our balloons of the
lethal type they must be big enough
to sustain the heavy cable. However,
we can use smaller bags if we decide
that we merely want to force the
airplanes to height in range OF our
anti-aircraft batteries.
Undersecretary Patterson said that
the British are using the barrage
balloons primarily in the lethal
sense. Nevertheless, there are con-
f1icting reports on the subject, and
some observers have gone so far as
to say that the balloons are largely a
morale boosting device.
On the latter score, there Is no
