Vitamin A Sharpens Eye for Color “And Store Inspectors Save $5000.

By WATSON DAVIS Director, Science Service Vitamins have \received advertising promotion almost unequalled by any.other science achievement. But here is a story, not from a drug house, or a doctor, but a factory. Vitamin A therapy—giving of carotene in oil—sharpened the color discrimination of inspectors of porcelain. so that more than $5000 a year was saved on assembly of ranges at Mansfield, O., fewer changes in offcolor parts after assembly and less customer complaint. Vitamin: A regenerates the visual purple in the eye’s retina vital to seeing.

Eliminated in One Model

Milady’s tastes, safety with a big “8S,” comfort, chromium, grace and economy are the watchwords of the automobile shows throughout the country, With streamlining and windstreaming commonplaces in the American automotive lexicon, the auto industry faced the problem of “gilding the lily” in this year’s glittering exhibition of 1940 models. But despite that hazard, it has scored with new achievements 13. beauty and design. Eye-pleasing as - the new models are, however, high profits of customer interests in the 1940 cars are expected to be two safety developments—Sealed Beam Headlights and a new crystal-clear laminated glass —and the revolutionary: elimination of the clutch by one car manufacturer.

Clutch Experiments Costly

This sensational engineering development is confidently expected to be incorporated generally in automobile design within a few years. Long’ a nightmare of the industry’s engineers, the clutch has cost manufacturers millions of dollars in the past 25 years in experimenting aimed at perfecting it.” Now the clutch and clutch pedal are scrapped in favor of a completely automatic hydraulic transmission complemented by a fluid drive or coupling between crank shaft and drive shaft. By thus streamlining the, clutch out of the picture, gears can be automatically shifted back and fortn through four speeds under all conditions of traffic, speed or grade by merely using ine brake and accelerator. The whole dik industry got to-

Headlights Centralized

These new headlights are a complete unit with lens, bulb and reflector sealed in one piece, thus insuring standardized headlighting. It is impossible to change ‘the basic relationships between bulb, lens and tory because no internal “adjustments are possible. If a bulb burns out or any part of the lighting unit fails, a complete new unit is plugged in just like a bulb. Because the headlight is sealed, no dust or moisture can enter to cut lighting efficiency. A dual filament lamp provides. a “country beam” for powerful long-distance lighting, and a “traffic beam” that avoids glare for approaching autos. A corollary of this invention is

degree of vision distortion common in sheet glass. It is predicted, also, that back-seat driving — often caused by distorted vision—will suffer ‘a setback.

Woman's Influence Felt

Well aware of woman’s influence on. the sale of cars, manufacturers have not neglected features appealing to the ferhinine taste. And so practical are. these features, as well .as decorative, the male will find it difficult to sneer. e manufacturers have aimed at feminine approval with such things as concealed hinges to eliminate hazards to stockings and dresses. There are recessed handles to protect clothing and safety catches on back doors to prevent Junior from opening doors and tumbling out. Ventilation, and air conditioning, the "upholstery and other appointments, all have a pleasingly feminine touch..
