The man who specializes in mak ing cars and trucks stop when they are supposed to is coining to Way ntsville next week for a visit. He is Homer T. Lambert, a Ken tucky native who has' designed up to 500 brakes and. holds 75 patents. This information was in a letter from W.'H. Otto, sumertlme resi dent and friend of Mr. Lambert in his present home town of St. Petersburg, Fla. Mr. Otio intends to come here May 1, himself. Mr. Lambert was 17 when he j kit school to go to work in a Ken tucky eoai mine, ana iook oui ins lirst patent in 1905 one for a brake to keep the mutes that pull ed the mint) cars from being run down on grades. But he didn't become seriously interested in designing better brakes until 1927. when a couple of minor accidewits sent him to work on them. Three years later, he took out a brake patent. Since then, more tfan a million of his brakes have gone on farm tractors alone. And now every tractor manufac turer is testing his newest inven tion, the Lambert disc brake. Last year, $1,500,000 worth of his brakes were produced by plants in Michigan and Canada. The disc brake came out of 20 ears of research by his company, Mr. Lambert reports. He de scribes this type as superior to the familiar drum tvpe from every an gle. For instance, he says, the driver can apply the disc brake 15 times I while the vehicle is going 70 miles an hour. The drum brake can be applied only twice at the same speed it ! cannot stand up to the heat of ! friction that the disc brake can, the inventor claims. And if motorists adopt his new type double disc design, he claims, they'll find driving less tiresome. Repeated application of the brakes accounts mainly for that tired feeling the driver gets. Mr. I Lambert says. J His new aluminum brake, only half as heavy as the standard type, chases this fatigue, making driv- i ing more comfortable, and increas- j es efficiency. I Mr. Otto said the inventor will j stop here for a week or two on Mascot his wav In St Tncpnh Minh ,.,l,,.rQ his home and his Auto Special lies Company are. Mr. Lambert went to Florida two years ago for his health, and he and his wife bought a home in St. Petersburg last year. They spend seven months of the year there. The Lamberts have five children.

Many Times But He's Never Seen It WASHINGTON (API Stuart K. Robbins says a little big shot a gentleman who thinks he's a big shot is like a chocolate eclair. Mr. Robbins serves many little big shots and many really big shots. He's a dining car steward on the Seaboard Air Lines' swanky vacation trains running from New York to Fionas. "A little big shot is like a choco late eclair because he's all crust with no filling," says Mr. Robbins. "He finds fault with .the coffee, the eggs and the waiter and loud enough for everyone to hear. He wants to impress them that he's important. That's his crusty out side. Inside, there's really nothing to back up all that fluster and blus ter." Mr. Robbins, who stopped off here to see a friend the other day, says he's made about 20 trips to Florida since the season opened but he's hardly seen the place. He travels around 20,000 miles a month. "Usually, the train pulls into St. Petersburg or Miami," he told me. "It is serviced in a short time, and then we pull right out again for New York. It's pretty frustrat ing. Everybody gets tanned but us." How does he like the scenery? "Well, I've never seen most of it. We feed about 175 people three times a day in the dining car, and you don't get much time to look out the windows. Going down we always go to bed in North Caro lina. Coming back we always go to bed in North Carolina. I don't know how many times I've been through that state, but always asleep." Mr. bobbins is on the Florida run in the winter, when business is heavy. He really works for the Denver and Rio Grande Western and most of the time travels from Denver to Salt Lake City and sometimes on through to the west coast. The railroads "loan" then stewards and other dining car em ployes back and forth to take care of peak seasons, which fall at dif ferent times in various parts of SECOND-HAND FALSE TEETH GO TO AFRICAN NATIVES GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (UP) The natives in Africa are hard up for false teeth. If there's an old set around the house, Dr. Theodore Shanks, Pres byterian missionary dentist in West Africa, can use them. Members of the North Park Presbyterian Church here have sent him over 27 full sets, six par tial plates and miscellaneous odd ones. Cosmic rays have been constant for 25,000 years, it has been proved by Dr. Willard F. Libby of the University of Chicago in its $12. 000,000 atomic and metal research program. the country. All Mr. Robbins' friends out west hev lives in Denver expect him to be suntanned from the Florida sun after his travels. But of course he isn't. "I could do like some folks do," he says. "Maybe they've only stayed south a week. So they buy a sun lamp and while they're soaking up a week's sun, they're also working the lamp overtime at night to burn themselves black." Treasurers J too.
