Washington; March 24 (By the As- sociated Press)—Accurate calculation of the position of ships at sea and on air lanes with almost lightning speed is said to be possible under a new method of determining latitu@te apd longitude, worked out by the hy- drographic office of the navy depart- ment. Complete computations, according to G. W. Littlehales, hydrographic en- | gineer, who devised the new system,| can be made within three minutes, whereas calculations by methods now | in vogug is usually a somewhat tedl-| ous procedure. Three yecars' wori, involving more than a million and a half calculations and the solution of millions of spherical triangles, is rep- resented in the new tables, which, naval experts declare, will be of par- ticular value in determining quickly the position of fast moving water and air craft. All data needed in making calcula- tions under the new system are con- tained in a single, compact volume.

They have proved that Jewett Six will stand hard service under all conditions. Because it is the sturdiest car of its size or price—whether four or six. Because it weighs 2805 pounds— 200 pounds more than “light sixes.” Because it has a husky six-inch frame, with wide top flange, four rugged cross-braces, and high-duty Paige-Timken axles, front and rear. Jewett ownets have proved its wonderful reserve power, as well. Power that soft roads and stubborn hills never tax. Because Jewett has a Paige-built motor of fifty horsepower that literally fills the hood! The largest built for a medium-sized six.
