Scribner's Magazine for May contains
one of the sanest automobile articles ever
written. 1t says. IN part:
The car which viii not run dead
slow in high gear viii not accelerate N
high gear except at ordinary road speeds.
That means that if its driver slows down
for whatever reason. he must drop back
into intermediate gear to get up speed again.
But changing gears, especially IN The older
types Of cars, requires some skill 1t Is a
mental interruption at best. and IN a crisis
there is the chance that false motion may
bring disaster. Consequently the average
driver Of an inheMble car avoids slackenins
below his effective high gear speed as much
as possible, and comes to regard slow-dOwns
as nuisance to be avoided.
The speed craze IS vital fact to be
reckoned with; but it ha, not grown unaided.
The inhexibe car has from the FIRST been
its most powerful abettor.
The speed craze in the larger sense has
probably reached its height to-day. and its
decline is impending. Even now there are
many symptoms Of its passing. One Of these
IS the general demand irrational enough to
the engineer. yet with strong justification
IN the psychology of the man who dives
for cars that will do stunt, IN high gear,
notably hll-climbing.
Another symptom is the popularity Of the
six-cyinder car For reasons too technical
to be given here. a sx-cyEndcr internal COM
bustion motor will run slower. both idle and
loaded. and Will accelerate better from dead
slow than the four-cyhnder motor Of Ike
power, other conditions being equal. The

and therefore practically free from vibration.
whereas even the snoothest four-cylinder

MARKED EPOCH FOR THE FARM.
Marsh Harvester Was the First Time
Saver in Agriculture.

Fifty years ago two young farmers
named Marsh were cutting grain near
DeKalb ILL., They were too intelligent
too American--to be fond of work
for works sake. And of all their
drudgery, the everlasting STOPPING
over bundles to bind them into
sheaves CALLED them most Such back.
breaking toll, they thought, might be
well enough for kangaroos, but 1t GER
tainly was not suitable for an erec;
biped, like man. says Herbert NJ. Cas-
son, in Everybody's.
IF l didn't have to walk from
bundle TO bundle, and hump myself
like a horseshoe, could do twice as
much work." said one of the brothers.
WELL" said the other, why can't
we tx platform on the reaper. and
have the grain carried up TO us?"
II was a brilliant idea and a new
one. Neither Of the young fellows had
ever seen a reaper factory; but they
were handy and self-reliant BY the
next autumn they we're in the field
with their new machine, and as they
had expected, they bound the grain
twice as quickly as they had the year
before.
So was born the famous Marsh har.
vester, which proved TO be the half
way mark in the evolution OF the grain.
reaping machine. 1t was the child OF
the reaper and the parent Of the self
binder. II cut in two the cost of bind
ing grain. But it did more than this
it gave the farmer his first chance
to stand erect, and forced him to be
quick, for the two men who stood on
the harvester were compelled to bind
The grain as fast as It was cut. Thus
it introduced the factory system, one
might say, into the harvest field. For
the first time the Big Marsh made its
appearance on the farm.
