tIGH-GEAR PROBLEM.
An iowa Inventor Claims to Have Solved
1t Successfully.

An iowa Inventor Claims to Have Solved
1t Successfully.
An inventor from Fairfield, Ia, A. NJ.
Snyder, thinks he has solved the prob
lem of overcoming the disadvantages of
the high gear. His method. however,
is not primarily to do away with the
well-known lack of power from which a
high gear suffers in high wind or up
a steep grade, but it is TO change the
gear itself.
The inventors scheme for changing
the gear without removing the wheel is
to provide a detachable sprocket on the
rear hub. This he provides for by maxi
ing his rear sprocket in two pieces,
which fit into each other and are
fastened securely in place by narrow
screw collar on the hub.
Small '-1gs on the parts of the toothed
wheel and corresponding depressions in
the fange of the hub prevent the dam
ger of the sprocket turning without the
hub. BY using this des C, the inventor
claims, the gear may be changed in less
than five minutes without taking off
the wheel or loosening the bearings
BY carrying one extra weightof sprock'
ct wheel the hardy road rider may feel
Independent at ell times of high winds
and steep hills

For a Girl of Modest Means.

Absolute simplicity is the best and
safest rule for the girl of modest
means. Let her have but few dresses,
but these good and neat, so as to look
well to the last. In the quietest life,
however, it happens that occasions arise
when something more festive is re-
quired. Very useful at such times it
proves to have pretty collarette or
front easily adjusted over plain gown.
and while not costly, yet smart and
becoming. For a home dinner or a
small evening party, or any modest and
unpretentious entertainment for which
full dress is not de rigeur, something Of
the kind is essential.

Male BIRDS Lead the way.

When birds are migrating the males
usually precede the females. The rob-
ms. for instance, which are seen early
in the year are almost invariably
males, which apparently Travelled on
before their mates. The female birds
follow, perhaps because they are not
such powerful flyers, and also, per-
haps, because they like to take their
time and gossip with one another. In
the fall the male birds leave first-the
old ones-while the females travel
along together with their young, so
licitous for their welfare, and stall
training them after the fashion OF
mother birds.
