Optical Illusion Causes Accident

explain that they realized too late the

I and that of the vehicle ahead, ac

j Southern California. According to
;ye physicians, there is an optical
illusion which, especially at night,
makes the car ahead seem to be
farther away and traveling faster
than is actually the case.

New Type Airship
Resembling a flying torpedo, a
unique “Ray Ship” which has at
tracted governmental interest was
recently unveiled by its inventor,
Ralph A. Yelli, a civil engineer of
Los Angeles. It is a lighter-than
air craft and is propelled on a prin
ciple that combines the features of a
rocket ship and the vacuum power of
Mother Nature’s tornado. When
completed it will weigh three-quar
ters less than existing dirigibles,
carry four times the load and travel
200 miles per hour with the ma
neuverability of a plane.

Character Tests Tell
Whether You’re Criminal i
After 30 unpublicized years of re-'
search, California scientists now an
nounce a revolutionary character,
test which will accurately tell,
whether you are a potential mur
derer, a future President or just a
happily married breadwinner sim
ply by measuring your bones, eyes ,•
and hair.
Not only will thtse new tests tell ;
j what career you should choose, they')
will also predict how many auto
mobile accidents you will have,
how good a driver you are, how
honest you are and what kind of a |
husband or wife you should have. |
A former judge and noted Cali- I
fornia attorney, Edward V. Jones,
is the originator of the latest meth
od of “X-raying” the human char
acter by taking approximately 60
measurements of a person’s physi- J
cal features
Jones and his associates spent 30
years studying 10,000 persons, test
ing their new method on all types in
all walks of life. They found there
were certain “standard” measure
ments and, by combining these, they,
j could accurately tell an individual’s
1 potentialities, faults and abilities
The test was originally designed,
for vocational guidance and to aid
large companies in selecting suit
able employees. It was soon en
larged to help social workers and
other authorities—as well as the av
erage man—in determining whether
1 or not desirable children will re
sult from proposed marriages.
So successful were the tests that
Southern California police forces en
listed Jones’ aid in detecting crimi
nals. They found the new method
had an uncanny knack of pointing
the finger of guilt or innocence at
suspects.

! 2 Bones Weekly Enough
For Canine, Says Expert |
It is the accepted theory that
bones are good for dogs. This is
true, but with definite limitations.
Too many bones are actually bad
for a dog. It is not advisable giving
a dog a bone that has been cooked.
Cooked bones break easily into
sharp splinters.
A dog can digest bones because
J of the large amount of hydrochloric
i acid in his stomach. However, if ,
I too many bones are given the ani
j mal, he is not able to digest them.
1 Some pass into the intestines and
j puncture the walls or remain there,
i causing the dog serious illness.
| The actual nourishment received
from bones is rather small. One or 1
two bones, at the most, a week
should be sufficient for your pet. The |
benefit derived may best be de- 1
scribed as that of a toothbrush. They i
do help keep the teeth and gums in I
good shape and afford exercise to
the dog’s jaws. In spite of these
benefits, I do not recommend feed
ing bones regularly. If you are go
ing to give your dog a bone, choose
a large, uncooked knuckle bone, and
under no circumstances give him
poultry, pork, rabbit or cooked bones
of any sort.
Bats Have Supersound System
Bats, those night flying mammals,
jdo it all by a supersound system,
lit has been revealed by the Amer
| ican Association for the Advance
! ment of Science. They use a “su
personic system” whereby they
I emit hisses inaudible to the human
| ear. These sounds, the investiga
| tors say, reverberate from obstacles
j in the path of the flying bats and
aid them in avoiding collisions.
