Monument Honors a Deserving Pioneer Baltimore, md.? to make up for the neglect of the whole human race properly to com memorate the birth of the pro genitor of all the people, John P. Brady hus takeh It upon himself to erect a monument to Adam, the First Man. According to Mr. Brady's calendar, Adam was born ' October 28, In the year B. (J. Every year since he built tne memorial in 1909 it has been the custom of Mr. Brady to journey to the monument on Adam's birthday to lay a wreath on It and to hold with such of his friends and admirers as r-iight attend a sort of Memorial day service. The monument Is a plain stone shoft, Impressive by Its simplicity, surmounted by a sun dial. The In scription informs the observer in bold letters : THIS, TIIE FIRST SHAFT IN AMERICA, IS DEDICATED TO ADAM THE FIRST MAN. In a circle surrounding the dial ap pear the words: "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi." Mr. Brady thus justifies his purpose in building bis unique memo rial to perpetuate the memory of the leading figure in the history of the world : "Some of us may blame; Adam for the misfortunes we get lrrthls world, but few of us wish we had not been , brought here. It was kind of Adam to come first. He paved the way and should be accorded the homage which we pay pioneers in all fields. I thought it was high time Adam had something to show for having beeto here. Adam was something of a hero after all." The Constitution of the ? United States Is also the object of Mr. Brady's passion for monument build ing. This great institution, the great charter of American institutions, is now defunct, according to Mr. Brady, stabbed to death by 18 amend ments, not to mention the many con structions and amendments that have destroyed the virility of the original document. And so Mr. Brady has ' erected a monument with the inscrip tion: IN MEMORY OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN. Westward the Live Stock Wends Its Way OMAHA. NEB. ? A census has been made by the government of the live stock of the coun try and Its distribution, ?hich makes It possible* to plot the exact center of this population. There was, of course, a time In the early history of the country when the centers of population of people and of the live stock were practically identical ; dairy products were raised and animals slaughtered at the consumer's door. Today the census shows the center of population of live stock has far out stripped the population In the move ment westward. The center of the swine population, for Instance, has Just reached the Mis sissippi river. The movement of the cattle population has been much more rapid and Its center is at present In western Kansas. The most rapid Western movement Is found In the case of sheep, whose center of popu lation has reached western Nebraska and is approaching the Colorado state line. The slowest progress westward has been made In the case of the dairy products, whose center Is now In western Illinois. The human popu lation center Is In western Indiana. By charting the centers of the ani mal population of the United States one gains a new Idea on the problem of food distribution. In each case the center of live stock population Is hundreds of miles west of the center of population. The census reveals the fact that the Eastern states as a rule are almost wholly depopulated of beef cattle, dairy cattle, swine and sheep. The greatest density of aplmal pop ulation Is found In the Middle West. On the Pacific coast the proportion Is usually about two or three-tenths head per capita. An exception Is found In the case of sheep, which In some Far Western states are equal in population to that of the state. In other words, 50,000,000 people In the United States today live In non-r producing sections far from the meat and dairy supply. New Y ork-Chicago Double-Track Air Mail NEW YORK. ? The government has blazed the trail for an eight to nine-hour overnight air mall service between New York and Chicago, both ways. It was disclosed by Carl F. Egge, general su perintendent of the Posj Office de partment's air mail division. Routes have been mapped, termi nals, way stations and emergency fields are being acquired ; machines and personnel have been assigned and all the powerful lighting equipment for night flying Is being set up. ? Ool. Paul Henderson, second assist ant postmaster general, has ordered the new service Installed early next spring, probably In April. This, said Mr. Egge, will give the government a "double track" air mall system be tween here and Chicago and, with a transcontinental service covering 2,720 miles, will make a total of 1,905 miles ?over which night flying will be con tinuous.

WAY TO IDENTIFY ANY STOLEN CAR . , * u ( ? **? Simple Matter to Place Se cret Marks on Machine in Out-of-Way Places. (By BR WIN QREER, President Qreer Col l*ga of Automotive Engineering, Chicago ) Tou wouldn't leave a bag of $20 gold pieces parked at the curb even though they were stamped "In God We Trust." In fact the person who did so would Immediately be sent to the Insane asylum. But nine out of every ten motorcar owners, according to statis tics, are fully as careless with their machines, which often represent a bag of gold pieces far too heavy to carry. You think nothing of leaving your car for long periods without locking it. And If you are fortunate enough In still having It, why it is nothing less than sheer luck. It is little wonder that automobile thieves live off the fat of the land and find such a profit able field for their work. - ? How Thieves Work. - ?Thieves usually work In pairs and when they see an unlocked car at the curb, they drive another machine alongside of the unlocked one. It Is an easy matter to step from one Into the other. In case they are discov ered in the actual theft, the other car Is the means of getting away. As a rule they take the one that offers the least resistance for an easy get-away. Suppose your car Is one of those stolen. Could you Identify It with a new paint Job or other disguising fea tures? Remember that the car Is the thief's property until proved other wise. Without some real proof you cannot, of course, claim your property. With the engine numbers and frame Identification removed, you cannot pos sibly tell your car from another, es pecially on account of the fact that there are so many standard models. Identification Marks. It Is a simple matter to put secret Identification marks on your machine. Inside the hubcaps and on the frame ore excellent places. Or you might loosen some part of the upholstery and insert your business card. In this event you would catch the thief red handed. Suppose that those identifi cation places were discovered and re moved ? surely there are other ways that will suggest themselves to you from an observation of your own par ticular car. And a thief Isn't super human ; he cannot locate all the Iden tification places. But do It right now. Don't wait un til the car Is gone. It only takes a few seconds to lock your car. And, as a rule, the thief shadows hla prospect several days be fore he steals It If he sees that you are careful It Is a ten to one shot that he'll pass your machine up for one that Is easier to steal. So don't put temptation In his way. Well Recommended Paint for Use on the Muffler It Is difficult to find a satisfactory paint for exhaust pipe and muffler, be cause of the heat of those parts. Here Is a highly recommended muf fler paint: Boiled Unseed oil, one-fifth pound; Japan varnish. one-fifth pound; turpentine, two-fifths pound; lampblack, one and a half ounces; powdered graphite, one and a half ounces; powdered oxide of manga nese, three-eighths ounce. Mix the linseed oil and Japan varnish well to gether, then add in order, stirring all the time, the lampblack, the graphite and the powdered manganese. Add the turpentine, until the quantity men tioned has been used. This mixture, should be used as soon as It Is mixed, as It dries quickly. Every time the brusj) is dipped In it should be stirred. It Is well to paint the muf fler while It Is hot, after having cleaned It thoroughly. UUUUUUUU..UUMMyilUMUIIHMK|l|lK | \\ Keeping Car Und^r . i !

They will come one by one and if they are caught In the same manner they will not be near ly so hgrd to remove as they would be if they are allowed to accumulate In a troublesome chorus before they are stopped. Rattles In the brake linkage and other parts under the car can be found by shutting off the engine and allowing the car to coast in neutral gear. If someone stands or sits on the running board while the driver does this, many sounds that have been difficult to locate will be readily found. These link rods are a typical example of noise that will often defy the ef forts of the driver to find, while an other person' sitting on the running board or outside the car will have little or no difficulty in locating them. Place for Extinguisher on the Running Board Where to put the extinguisher Is an open question. Under the dash Is the customary place. But almost every motor car fire endangers this spot Flames sometimes envelop the extin guisher before the. driver has a chance to unhook It The most logical place, from the fire standpoint. Is to place It on the running board, but this not only spoils the car's looks, but tempts chil dren to meddle with It . For roadsters, especially, the extinguisher can be car ried on brackets at the base of the driver's seat. In this position It Is very handy. For touring cars a good place Is the back of the front seat Here it Is accessible, that Is the main thing. It would be less consplclous If painted black. And In winter it would be cov ered by the robes. In this respect however, use your own Judgment Motor Life. Poor Cement It Blamed for Failure of Patches One reason, perhaps, why a great many roadside and amateur tire patches do not hold when the tube Is assembled into the shoe Is that rubber cement is used which is not up to the mark. u Usually the cement has been re posing In the car's tire repair kit for quite a time, and It Is therefore not so fresh and active as it once was. Be sure to get the best materials you can. In the first place, and, further, before going on a long trip examine the tire repair kit to make sure every thing In It Is In good condition. Better an inspection before the start of the trip than regrets at the poor shape everything la In later when called upon to fix a puncture out on the road.
