Such traction is a simple matter
when road surfaces are dry, ac-
cording to Professor Lessells, edi-
tor of the technical journal of the
American Society of Mechanical En-
gineers.

where wet pavement causes skid-
ding accidents—will be one of sci-
ence's greatest contributions to traf-

Dr. McClintock speaks of the day
to come when invisible
torist from colliding with another,
no matter how careless he may
be.
“It is possible to lay in the pave-
ment itself electrical cables which,
when a car comes to a dangerous
curve or around an obstruction,
would automatically take the steer-
ing from the driver by radio cone
trol and thus center the car over
the cable and steer it safely around
the curve or obstruction,” Dr. Mec-
Clintock explains.
Pointing to the success of “in-
visible eye’ controls in other fields,
the scientist predicts the use of
electric bumpers. This would be
made possible by installing infra-
red lights in the rear of automo-
biles, which would actuate photo-
electric cells in front of other cars.
This “invisible ey»” would reduce
the speed of a car overtaking an-
other too rapidly.

Giants Short Lived
The circus giant, the man with
abnormally long legs or other ab-
normalities of frame, is a short
lived human. Tall men fall into
two classes, those who attain their
extraordinary growth because of in-
herited tendencies and those who
become freaks because of some up-
set in the glandular functions. The
man who ‘comes by his height nat-
urally’’ usually lives a normal life
span, but the freak seldom attains
middle age. An insurance compa-
ny, given to research in such mat-
ters, found that a number of men
ranging from 7 feet 6 inches tall to
8 feet 7 inches had an average life
of thirty-four years. The oldest died

What Is Proper Use
