    WRITTEN SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND IT LEAKPROOF FLASHLIGHT BATTERIES Stay Fett RAY-O-VAC COMPANY, MADISON 4, WIS. NEW, BROADER TREAD B.F. GOODRICH TIRE OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES Now you can order these new tires for your car! T's EASY to understand why a tire with a thick, tough tread ‘will last 2 long time. But did you know that by making that same tread wider and flarcer—so it hugs the road and spreads the wear over a greater area—it will give you still ‘more miles of trouble-free driving? The new B. F. Goodrich Silver- town has a new type of wider, flat- ter tread, This longer-wearing tread ‘was not practical on prewar tires because prewar tite bodies were not strong enough to withstand the extra strains set up by a wide, fae tread. By combining this type of tread with a tire body made with AUGUST 1946 tougher cords and more of them, Goodrich engineers have produced a tire that outwears prewar tires... a tire that has more than proved itself in 17 million miles of tests. You can forget any misgivings you may have had about today’s tires. If you get B. F. Goodrich tires, you will be getting tires that have passed the toughest tests any- ‘one could give them in the labora tory or on the road. You can be sure they'll stand up beter than the tires you bought in prewar days. Remember, too, the sooner you see your B. F. Goodrich dealer, the sooner you'll have safe, new tires on your car. Supplies are still lim- ited, of course, but we're making and shipping new B. F. Goodrich Silvertown tres every day and will have ever-increasing quantities in the hands of dealers soon. The B. P. Goodrich Company, Akron, Obie.

WINDSOR, Founder OOK twice at this picture, It’s an introdue- tion to our new French edition, MECANIQUE POPULAIRE, now being read | in France, Switz- erland and Bel- gium. Director of this first foreign edition is Major Adrien Albarranc, a hero of French resistance and widely known in France as an en- gineer and scien- tist. He thrice escaped the Nazis and was decorat- ed with the Le- gion of Honor and other med- als. The major determined to publish a French edition of the magazine when he noted the enthusiasm of his Amer- ican companions for our overseas edition, Paper is scarce in France, but the major was allotted a run of 50,000 copies to stimulate me- chanical and scientific activities. NEXT MONTHyou'lllock through “Window to the Unknown” at a miniature wonderland—germs as big as sofa pillows and a sheet of paper nine fect thick. The story tells of unknown worlds being dis- closed by the electron microscope. THINK your dog should be in the movies? Then read how “Lassie” and other animals are trained to steal scenes from the stars, how studios acquire everything from a singing ow] to a deodorized skunk. ‘THE CRAFTSMAN section will feature a story that'll bring a tin- gle of taste to your mouth—how to build a smokehouse of any size for meat and fish. For camera fans there's an article on putting fore- grounds to work in salon shots. RADIO control for model aircraft, available to licensed amateurs, will be described in the Radio section.

Could such eminent men of the ancient world as Socrates, Pericles, and Alex- ander the Great have been deluded and cast under the spell of witchcraft—or did the oracles whom they consulted actually possess a mysterious faculty of foresight? That the human mind can truly exert an influence over things and conditions was not a credulous belief of the ancients, but a known and demonstrable fact to them, That there exists a wealth of infinite knowledge just beyond the border of our daily thoughts, which can be aroused and commanded at will, was not a fantasy of these sages of antiquity, but a dependable aid to which they tuned in time of need. It is time you realized that the rites; rituals and practices of the ancients were not superstitions, but subterfuges to conceal the marvelous workings of natural law from those who would have misused them. Telepathy, projection of thought, the materi- alizing of ideas into helpful realities, are no longer thought by intelligent persons to be impossible prac- tices, but instead, demonstrable sciences, by which a greater life of happiness may be had. One of America’s foremost psychologists and university instructors, says of his experiments with thought transference and the powers of mind—“The successes were much too numerous to be merely THE GREATEST POWER ON EARTH / lucky hits and one can see no way for guessing to have accounted for the results.” Have you that open-minded attitude of today which warrants a clear, positive revelation of the facta of mind which suppressed for years? learn the truth about your inherited powers. Let this free book explain ‘The Rosicrucians (NOT a religious organization) have been leaders in introducing the ancient wisdom of mental phenom- ena. Established throughout the world for centuries, they have for ages expounded these truths to those thinking men id women who sought to make the utmost of their natural culties.

Why be satisfied all your life with a small salary and an ordinary job when there is such a large fitare! forthe: nun-be worian whe under: stands accountancy in all its forms and phases? One big difference between you and the suc- cessful accountant is that he doesn't do the chores, He bosses those who do the drudgery and he gets the money and prestige. And he does that because he knows the principles behind the rec~ cords you keep—can plan those ‘records and in- terpret them to management. He knows what you know—and a lot more. ‘There are two ways in which you can get this knowledge which will qualify you for an account- ant’s position, First—the old way of day-by-day experience en the job. This is the long route—taking many, many years, sometimes a lifetime. Most people taking this way never get anywhere. Why sacri- fice years of success—lose time and money—when there is a better and easier way? Second, the LaSalle way of learning in your spare time—studying and preparing for the step ahead. You learn by doing—you study account ing principles and solve accounting problems. You cover accountancy from the basic principles right up through Accounting Systems and Income ‘Tax Procedure—C.P.A. training if you s0 desire. AUGUST 1946 Are YOU doing _/ bookkeeping / “chores”?

It is not easy. It requires giving up certain spare time to serious study. How long will it take you to acquire this accountancy training is strictly up to you— Jeu cam go as fast or #9 slowly as you choose, jut after you have gone part way (you need not waicunell you are clear through the training) you will find yourself stepping up to better positions. And once you have mastered this fascinating profession—once you have become an accountant —then you will have the money and the standing to make your dreams come true. You will be a respected member of the best paying profession and equipped to go out into public accounting or to climb to a top management position.

The patent laws were enacted for the benefit of the inventor to give him protection for the features of his invention which are patentable. These features must be properly and concisely set forth and claimed in a formal application for patent in order to comply with the require- ments of the U. S. Patent Office. For that reason, the Patent Office advises the inventor to engage a competent reg- istered patent attorney to prepare his application for patent and represent him before the U. S. Patent Office Examiner. A specially prepared booklet containing detailed infor- mation with respect to patent protection and procedure will be forwarded to you without obligation upon request. a — CLARENCE A.

Our long and varied experience in patent practice, we believe, enables us readily to understand inventors’ disclosures, to advise what is probably patentable, alter conducting preliminary patentability inves- tigation of prior U. S. patents, and to draw your specifications and claims in such man- ner as to present clearly the novel features. Patent Laws Favor the Inventor Who Acts Promptly Remember, the details of your invention do not have to be 100% perfect before you can obtain patent. Unwise inventors often devote considerable unnecessary time work- ing on unimportant details of their devices. ‘This is expensive, hazardous and unneces- sary. First step is to have us conduct search for the prior U.S. patents and render a report as to its patentability. Our Search Report is very valuable to you in that it clears up the course you should take in re- gard to your invention. If our Report is favorable, this report of the patentability of your device shows that your chances of patent protection are in your favor.
