COMMERCE CHAMBER TECHNICAL BOARD Mechanical Engineers Urged to Affiliate—Prof. Dudley Speaks « That the local Chamber of Com- merce may have a technical branch whereby the combined cpinions of 50 or more experts on engineering and mechanical problems may be avail- ible at all times and the advice and «ssistance of mechanical experts be such as to form an advisory depart- ment of public works in conncction with the commercial body, was the consensus of opinion at the October meeting and dinner of the New Brit- ain branch of the American Society of Mechanical Enginpers, at the New Br#tain club last evening. Many Guests Present. The members, of which there were about 75 present, .including guests trom Harttord, New Haven, Bridge- port, Waterbury, Meriden, Plainville, Bristol, Middletown, Thomaston and Torrington, were advised by Calvin Rice, of New York: nationia: secretary of the organization, to affiliate with the Chamber of Commerce and also with the Rotary club if possible. “We must get out of the feeling that to do our own work honestly and fully is enough,” said Mr. Rice, “we must contribute to the sérvice of the community. Service to others is the expression of the-highest principles of dutf to which men can respond.’”” Cleveland Branch. In speaking of affiliating with the local civig organizations, Mr. Rice ex- plained how the Cleveland branch of the society had been formed into a technical committee of the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce and passed on all emergency questions, such as water, sewer, streets, etc. It no longer can be said of America or Americans,” said Mr. Rice, “that ‘they live untp them- selves alone.” For Standard Products. .The national secretary also made a plea for standardization of commer- cial products. He said that Great Britain has so standardized her pro- ducts that she has included everything from: the number of strands in cotton threads to an inspection of binoculars, the threads on iron pipe. The last vear., according to the speaker, Great Pritain spent five million dollars for research work instandardization andto advarce the industrial status of the world. Speaking of the need for stan- dardizing things 'in this country, he said: *Take paper, for instance. There is such 4 lack of stapdardization in the manufacture of paper that there are over 80 different machines in this countvy required just to cut paper.

The Afr Brake. W Dudley, of the Sheffleld Scienti- f.c =chool, at Yale.. Professor Dudley formerly was chief engineer for the Westinzhouse Air Brake company, at Pitgsburgh. In opening his address, Prafessor Dudley said the. railroads and their transportation facilities are 1he essential factors in maintaining modsern civilization. “Were it not for the ability to control the modern t-ains. the speed would'be very much l'mited.

The Place to Select Your Fresh Fish | Is Here NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26 were quoted to show what the modern aid brake has done for railroad serv- ice. A modern train, running 60 miles an hour, without air brakes could not stop in less than 30,000 feet, nearly six miles, and it would take 14 min- utes to make the stop. Thus making it impossible to run a train at that speed without modern brakes. It would require a permissible headway of 34 minutes for this train to stop. The same train, of five or six cars, equipped with modern air brakes, can stop in less than 1,000 feet and in 20 seconds, with a permissible \headway of 1 minute and 10 seconds. Under these circumstances, he said, but one train could run where 30 now operate. The time from New York to Chicago would be five and one-half days instead of 20 hours. On freight trains it would require 40 freight cars without breaks to do the work now be- ing done by one car with brakes. An addition of air brakes, adding four per cent. to the cost of building a car has increased the valuation of the car 44 per cent. i Professor \Dudley gave a compari- son of operating conditions on trains with and without modern brakes. Tak- ing the average train of locomotive, baggage, mail, diner and four or five passenger coaches for an illustration. Comparison of Figures The comparison was made between the years of 1880 and the period be- tween 1916 and 1921 when rolling stock mechanical improvement seem- ed to come to ‘a standstill. Taking the freight service he said in 1880 te max- imum weight of locomotives was 130,- 000 Ibs., while the present locomotive weighs 850,000, The maximum car weights have increased from 22,000 to 78,000 1bs. and their capacity from 40,000 and 240,000. From 25 car trains we have advanced to 135 cars to a train and from 850 tons to 15,000 tons can be carried with safety.In 1880 when the air brake was in its experi- mental stages, a train carried 32 pounds_of compressed air per cubic foot. On the modern train the volume 240 pounds. In the passenger service the figures are just as interesting. The light, high powered speed locomotives have increased from 100,000 pounds to 388,- 000 pounds. The number of cars per train has increased from five to 18. The train tonnage has changed from 175 pounds ‘to 1,500 pounds. The scheduled speed rate has increased from 35 to 60 miles an hour. The speaker then traced the devel- opement of the train brake from the old fashioned log drag on the rear of the ox cart, to the modern principle of shoe against wheel tread first used by coal miners in New Castle, on Tyne, in 1630; the steam brake invented by Stevenson in 1633; the first pneumatic brake and its diffictilties, invented by Naysmith and May in 184%, the axle- driven air brake by Van Lister four years later; the Creamer brake, the the quick action aut: matic in 1887 the high speed for pa: enger service in 1894, the quick service graduated release and high emergency pressure brake, now commonly used on all railroads, invented by Westing- house in 1906, and the electric pnuematic brake and the adjustable air brakes for empty and loaded cars on the same train now in the process of development. Felicitations from the New Haven branch were extended by Professor E. H. Lockwood, Instructor in mechanical engineering at the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale. AMERICANS TO PLAY. Five Hockey Stgrs Are Members of French Team Playing Swiss. Boston, Oct. 26.—Five American hockey stars will play on a French team that is to meet Switzerland in an international series at St. Moritz next month. Three of the players, Robert Emmons, Ned Bigelow and year's Harvard varsity team. Jerry German, forward last year on the Boston shoe trades team of the United States amateur hockey association and Ernie Caron who played with the Irish-American team of New York a few years ago are other members. Most of the American players plan to return to this country soon after the series is finished PROTESTS IN SWEDEN. C. S.

Reports from the preliminary prayer meetings show an encouraging amount of interest, the attendance being larger than was anticipated and the spirit of the meet- ings inspiring. The music for the services is in 1921. charge of a committee Clifton McKenna. This has in mind the formation of a large chorus choir, a leader of unusual abil- ity and an accomplished accompanist. Selection will be made of a Song sheet filled with hymns suited for such oc- casions. The workers’ committee, under Henry Hoar’s direction, will organize a corps of ushers and others who will act as Dr. Goodell’s assist- ants at the time of the 'services. The women’s committee, Miss Jean Ward- rope, chairman, hopes to have spe- cial services for women and is plan- ning to that end. The meetings com- mittee has a number of special fea- tures under consideration, Fred Rack- liffe, the chairman, holding his plans in abeyance until there has been a conference ‘with Dr. Goodell. The publicity committee was given author- ity to carry out a number of plans presented for consideration. This committee will meet at the Y. M.. C. A. tonight at 7:45 o'clock. The Goodell évangelistic meetings headed by committee.| were proposed primarily for persons who are now church members, to give an oppoftunity for re-consecra- tion and an expressjon of the religious feeling which seems to be present in the community. This will undoubted- ly be their most evident and imme- diate result, but those who have charge of the work are planning upon a scale which will prevent any limit to the number of people or the classes of people who can find the meetings interesting and profitabje. There are some_changes in the list of home prayer meetings for next Friday night. There will be no meet- ing at the Y. M. C. A. or at the homes of Dr. G. W. Lee, T. A. James or W. L. Hazen. Rev. and Mrs. H. W Maier will lead the meetings at the Erwin Home. = FRANCE WON'T MEDIATE Par'!s.

How to Be Good Looking ‘‘Tired, aching feet are never the accompaniment of a beautiful face. ““Few things are such rapid wrinkle producers as uncomfortable feet, be- cause feet which hurt prevent repose of expression. ““Thus look at your feet! “‘Study the shape of them and then wear shoes which suit them.''—Advice of a Beauty Specialist. Everyone recommends exercise as an aid to beauty. Therefore, comfortable Cantilever Shoes that éncourage exer- cise will help one along ‘the road to beanty_ £ Grace Margaret Gould, in Woman": Home Companion for September, said ““Pain is a great foe to good Jooks Com- fort works just the other way. If you are comfortable, you are apt to be pleasant, and pleasantness and pretti- ness are often synonymous terms. Elim- inate as many of your worries as you conveniently can—and your tight shoes.” . - The woman's editor of the New York Sun recently gave this advice: ‘“Would you be beautiful? Then you must be healthy, ~Exercise, especially for the business woman, is essential.” Doris Docher said in the New York Evening World: ‘‘Many ,of my correspondents ask me what causes the face to wrinkle and the muscles around the mouth to sag. It is not well enough known and understood that the discomifort of feet not properly cared for or improperly shod causes such nervous tension that our faces become 'marred with wrinkles.’” So we class the Cantilever Shoe as an aid to beauty. It will eliminate those pains which poorly shaped shoes cause * not only to the feet but to other parts of the body. The Cantilever flexible arch stimulates circulation—and that's a necessity if you want to possess an attractive complexion. The lines of the shog harmonize with the foot. The heels are high enough for style but not too high. The whole effect of wearing these correct and good looking Cantilever Shoes is pleasurable and healthful.
