But sometimes it can't be helped . and that’s when you will be glad if you have the new B. F, Goodrich tices on your car. The tire body is 35% stronger than in wartime tires. Itis buile with more cords and scronger cords and better engineered. It was developed primarily to enable it to curry a wider, flaer tread. Although such atread gives longer wear, it is not practical on an ordinary tire because, of the strains chavit would set up in the tire body. Thus, in developing OCTOBER 1946 a stronger tire body to catty a more durable tread, B. F. Goodrich en- gineers at the same time built into itgreacer resistanceto "road shock. In comparative tests, the new B. F. Goodrich Silvertowns have again and agin outworn prewar tires. And in millions of miles of * test driving on taxi fleets, police cars, and special test cars they have proved their extra toughness and durability. Now, on the cars of thousands of American motorists, they are giving extra mileage, extra safety, extra trouble-free service. You can order these bester tires for your car now. There’s extra de- mand for B. F. Goodrich, but if you need tires, see your B. F. Goodrich dealer today.

WINDSOR, Founder WILL ATOMS soon heat our homes, power our ships and drive our automobiles? Must we scrap our factories and appliances for this new form of energy? In this issue a man who took part in the engineering work on the atom bomb project brings you a down- to-earth article on future uses of atomic energy. He tells how sci- ence has already solved three of the five major problems that stood in the way of harnessing the atom. NEXT MONTH'S cue on how to improve your skill in a popular game comes from Willie Hoppe, one of the world’s greatest billiard players. He gives, three-cushion eginners a basic lesson in the game and tells oldtimers how to improve their shots. HOW does it feel to be a fish? ‘That's one of the questions asked of hundreds of persons in discov- ering hidden abilities.

Its standard indicator dial instantly registers error, location of error, and amount of correction juired. Designed for tool and die shops, machine shops aod testing laboratories, it also provides a standard for checking master squares, tri-squares and tools. The Acro Micro-Sine Square is very simple to operate, saves hours of time, Made of hardened tool steel, in ground and ‘Standard Indicator Dial lapped precision construction. Available in two types: (1) Standard precision gauge in tenths, (2) Lever indicator in thousandths. Both complete with master checking blocks and carrying cases. On precision jobs, requiring a static position and mental alertness, workers undergo nervous tension which often re- sults in fatigue. Tests have shown that the act of chewing helps relieve tension—helps workers stay alert, thus in- creasing their efficiency to do more accurate work. For this reason, many plant owners urge workers to chew Wrigley's Spearmint Gum on this type of job.

When Accountancy offers more Money and Success If you are a bookkeeper, you are right on the threshold of a profession that pays far above average—where there's real opportunity to get ahead and move up fast. Why not step UP from bookkeepin —be an accountant—make real money! gy APPROVED You can learn Accountancy by the interestingLaSalle Problem Method—in your convenient spare time, at home, without losing a day from your work. You learn by doing... you study Accounting principles and solve Apcoanting problems under the clear guid- ance of experienced C.P.A.’s. You cover Ac- countancy from the basic princi ciples right up through Accounting Systems and Income Tax Procedure—to advanced training for the C.P.A. degree if you so desire. And as you go along step-by-step, you master tl pases of audit- ing, business law, statist ntrol, cost ac counting, organization, management, finance, etc. ‘You go as fast or as slowly as you choose. And i may start “‘cashing in” on your new ability long before you complete the training—as thou- sands of others have proved. Many advance quickly to better positions, even before they are half way through. And that is only the beginning of a growing and continuing success for the rest of your business life. Why remain “just a bookkeeper” when Ac- oe holds so much for you?

POPULAR MECHANICS INVENTORS The patent laws provide that any new and useful art, machine, article of manufacture, composition of matter, or design, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may be patented if the act of invention is involved. Therefore, every inventor with a valuable invention should take advantage of the patent laws and proceed for patent protection in order to safeguard his rights. A patent gives the inventor the exclusive right to prevent others from making, using, or selling the invention claimed in the patent for a period of 17 years. 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 atiorney 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.

T. Rules of Practice of U. S. Patent Office advises—unless the inventor is quali- fied to handle such matters—that he employ the services of a competent Patent Attorney in the preparation of his Patent Applica- tion. We are Registered Patent Attorneys fully qualified to represent you at the Patent Office. in patent practice, we believe, enables us Our long and varied experience readily to understand inventors’ disclosures, to advise what is probably patentable, after 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. Have Patent Protection First Unless you safeguard your invention by obtaining a patent, thereby securing a monopoly on same, it may become “public ree to be made, used and sold by anyone, or it may be patented by some other, property.” person.

T. CHRISTENSEN the “Fiz-it Man” w I guess I'm the fellow to see, for repaired thousands of refrigera- tors (home and commercial both), vacuum cleaners, radios, washing machines. irons, fans, lamps, mangles, motors, etc. In fact, many of my customers call me their “elec- trical appliance doctor.” And, “doctoring,” I might add. has paid me a good substantial income for quite a few years. Funny, in a way, how I got started. Always liked to tinker and by experimenting around I found that most electrical appliances had many things in common. That, regardless of what the appliance was used for, or who the man- ufacturer was, the basic principles were much the same, From fixing my own appli- ances to fixing friends’ and then for strang- ers at a fee, seems now to have been but a small step. What to Charge? At first, I let the owner decide the charge and, frankly, I was amazed at what I earned per hour. But then, when one figures what initial costs are involved in buying most electrical appliances, one can readily see that spending extra dollars for repairs is well worth while. Before long I was making more in my spare time repairing than from my regular job. The result .. . 1 went into business for myself. When war came, busi- ness boomed, for new appliances were not available. For a while, repair parts (needed on some jobs) were a little dificult to get. But that situation quickly adjusted itself and many repair parts were given the high priority rating of AA2. After all, we had to provide for the heaith and well-being of our civilian population. ‘The Future Offers Friends ask me about my future. And, 1 think I've got a grand one. Age is no handi- cap in repairing. I have in my files enthus! astic letters from repairmen ranging in age from 18 to 79 years. Now the war is over we are certain to see hundreds of new prod- ucts on the market ... products that the average person never dreamt of. These new roducts and our old appliances are all go- Ing to need at some time or other “fixing.” ‘Well, I'll still be the fellow to do it. The field open for appliance repairmen is unlimited. I don’t worry at all about too much com- petition. if You Are Ambitious To the contrary, I've prepared a complete course, chuck full of simple, easy to under- stand photos and drawings’ and written in the same non-technical language as this article.
