CONVERTIBLE SEDAN | It says importation of dried eggs, principally from China, representea about 43,731,000 pounds reduced Lo the liquid equivalent in 1930 and that the imports just about totaled the surplus of shell eggs. Slump Laid To Chinese This surplus on April 1, last, was 16,380,000 dozens above the five- year average surplus and is held re- sponsible for a large part of the current depression in poultry prod- ucts. As nearly as costs of production can be estimated by’ the farm groups, the total cost of domestic dried egg products delivered at New York, the chief American market is $1.076 a pound and the cost of the Chinese product 41.605 cents a pound. Domestic dried egg production, the brief says, easily could be ex- panded to meet all domestic re- quirements if a protective duty were imposed. There are said to be many egg drying plants not now operating be- cause of inability to compete with the foreign product. This restricted outlet is blamed for the increased surplus of shell eggs and frozen eggs. The Commission is asked to study the cost of producing shell eggs in estimating the production cost of dried eggs since it is the largest item of cost entering into the pro- duction of the latter. The significance of the requestis apparent in view of the annual production of approximately 88,000,- 000 cases of eggs containing 30 dozen each. $2,000,000,000 Capital Producers have invested a cap- ital in excess of $2,000,000,000. Feed consumed per year is worth approx- imately $800,000,000. There prob- ably are 10,000,000 families inter- ¥ ested in egg production. The 9-cent increase proposed h under the flexible clause would in- crease the duty on all categories from 18 to 27 cents a pound. S 2 A OFFICE MOVED TO BLOMGREN BUILDING Drs.

F. C. Stewart of Pennsylvania® State College has been assembling data which may lead to something useful for motor tourists and picnickers. CABRIOLET principle of refrigeration, and so |the intake manifold ought to be cold, unless mechanically heated. Experiments at Penn State show that it is cold. In summer temp- eratures of 70 to 80 degrees, the intake manifold is at about 40 de- grees. Part of Fuel ‘Detoured’ To obtain a useful cooler for an automobile Prof. Stewart would use this cold. He suggests some of the fuel en route to the engine be detoured and used as a refriger- ant to chill the cooling unit of a small refrigerator in the car. To insure continuous vaporiza- tion he would draw the air for the carburetor through the cooling unit. The whole operation should cool a small refrigerator, just as the vaporizing gasoline now chills the intake manifold. A highly volatile fuel would be needed, Prof. Stewart says, and he estimates that such an outfit should maintain, in hot weather, a refrig- erator temperature of about 50 de- grees. Instead of being condensed for use over and over again, the fuel from the cooling unit would pass into the engine and burn exactly like fuel introduced in the regular manner, e, AMERICAN SCHOOLS By Howard W. Blakeslee STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Aug. 7.— There is a potential refrigerator in the intake manifold of every auto- mobile and, theorectically, there is an apparently simple method of converting it into a useful cooler for food and drink. The refrigerant is the feul en route to the engine. Some experiments in the mechan- ical laboratory at Pennsylvania State college showing these possi- bilities are described by F. C. Stew- art, associate professor of mechani- cal engineering. He emphasizes that beyond the assembling of the basic data, no experimental work with such an au- tomobile refrigerator has been car- ried out. Uses Usual Principle The idea, he says, is to use inthe automobile the usual refrigeration principle, which is already in opera- tion but going to waste. In the or-* dinary mechanical refrigerator there is a chamber where atmo- spheric pressure is reduced—a par- tial vacuum created. In this reduced pressure the re- frigerant boils more easily, just as in high altitudes water boils at low- er temperature than at sea level. In the ordinary refrigerating sys- tem the refrigerant, in bolling, ab- sorbs heat from its surroundings, and so produces cold. A pump must be used to draw off the vapor pro- duced in this boiling and force it into a condenser where it reverts to its liquid state and is returned to the cold chamber to boil again. In the automobile the engine it- self is the pump, and Prof. Stewart proposes a method of using it which adds nothing to the engine’s work. Every stroke of the piston which draws fresh feul into the engine The most striking fine car types ever offered at such low prices are now being presented by Ford dealers. These are the six newest de luxe creations of the Ford Motor Company. They are designed and built to meet every need of the automobile buyer | whose desire for motoring luxury and outstanding performance is tempered with sound economy. Get the facts about these fine cars. Compare their lithe, clean-cut style with any you have ever created in your own imagination. Learn about the de luxe materials with which each car is trimmed and uphol- stered, and how carefully these are tailored. Sit and i ride in the wide, restful seats and you will realize that just as no restrictions have been put on mechan- ical performance, so no limits have been placed on comfort and beauty. There is much to interest the careful buyer—a % choice of sparkling ‘colors, a variety of rich uphol- stery materials, Rustless Steel, safety class, Houdaille double-acting shock absorbers, one-piece welded steel ) wheels, slanting windshields, and many other features which make the Ford a happy investment.
