PNEUMATIC TIRES IN VOGUE
Expert Declares Europe IL Going Back
TO Air CnRhinnn.

10 AIT OuHnlOmHs
Emil Gruenfeldt, chief engineer and de-
signer Of the Bake Motor Vericle COM
pany, has just returned from Europe.
where he visited the automobile centers.
and through his wide acquaintance with
the leading European automobile manu-
facturers obtained inside information in re-
gard to the 1910 designs.
THE most remarkable tendency" said
Mr.. Gruenfeldt. '1s toward the shaft bevel
drive, and the pioneer manufacturers who
have been making chain-driven cars for
many years are adopting this type of drive
because Of its many advantages. Panhard,
Benz, De Dietrich, Mors, Fiat, Berliet and
others who formerly manufactured chain
driven cars exclusively, are all gradually
changing to the shaft drive. For heavy
trucks of either power, the chain drive is
still standard on account of it's inexpensive
manufacture and simple ~adaptability to
heavy work.
THE European electric, said Mr.. Gruen-
lis only manufactured in the heavy
brougham and cab models, and there is a
great demand abroad for the light, easily
controlled electric runabeut.
The greatest objection to European cleo
,rlcs is the use of very thin plates in the
batteries, which, while they give a greater
mileage at the beginning, are SO shOrtlived
that they are not practical. The series
wound motor is becoming standard and all
of the later models are Of the single motor
type with double speed rduction and shaft
drive. The Hub" motor, built directly in
the wheel, which has been so much dis
cussed, is rapidly disappearing, due to its
inefficiency in starting and hill climbing
and the frequent necessity of repairs on

the wheel on the road.
Solid tires and cushion tires have both
been used abroad, especially for taxicabs,
but on account Of the heavy vibration of
the car and the looseniEg and breaking of
vital mechanical parts, they have been
practically discarded, and the late cars are
equipped with pneumatic tires. Even the
electric trucks and buses are being equip
ped with pneumatic tires of the twin and
triple %type-that is, two or three individual
tires side by side on the same wheel"

ELECTRICs ARE MADE CHAINLESs
New Departure Seems to Meet with
Approval of Users.

ApBEONul OF OhCEhs
'The most radical departure that has oc-
Cured in electric motor car construction
for many years is the adoption Of a bevel
gear shaft drive by some electric manu-
facturer. Nearly all the gasoline car man
~ufacturers have abandoned chains in favor
Of the bevel shaft drive on account Of it's
cleanliness, simplicity Of construction, pro-
lection against dirt and absence Of lost
motion. The shaft drive requires no ad-
justment and its constant fabrication gives
practically unlimited life and reliability.
The mechanical efficiency of the shaft
drive heretofore in use, however, was not
equal In efficiency to the well-designed
chain drive, and since efficiency is OF the
utmost Importance in electric cars, because
OF the limited amount Of power secured
on one charge, it has not heretofore
seemed practical to use the shaft drive on
electrics.
The Bake company has used the bevel
gear with perfect success on their larger
type of cars, but has only succeeded after
many years of experimenting in perfect
ing an improved bevel gear shaft drive,
which is suitable for small cars and which
at the same time excels in efficiency all
other forms of transmission. The COM
pany has found from long experience that
the chain drive loses its efficiency on ac-
count Of its imperfect fabrication, accumu-
lation Of dust and stretching of the chain,
and claims that their new bevel gear shaft
drive will maintain and even increase the
efficiency Of the car the longer it is
operated.
The bevel drive rear axle is of the semi
floating type Of the very latest design,
approved by the best engineers. To se-
cure lightness and greater strength the
entire rear axle housing is drawn from
sheet steel. All the bearings in this axle
are OF the ball-bearing type of the high
est quality. The axle shafts and drive
shafts are made from special vanadium
alloy steel, carefully heat treated.
The differental is of a special type and
all gears in the rear axle housing, includ-
ing the differentiating gears are made
from the highest grade steel obtainabIe
for this purpose. They have planed teeth
and are hardened by a special process. The
d~ifferentiating gears are mounted on a
three-arm member and careful provision is
made for a self-aligning movement Of these
gears.
The entire front axle hub is drawn from
sheet steel and the hub DRESSINGS are ac-
curately machined and fitted with ball
bearings of the best quality. The front
axle spring seats are machined from the
highest grade steel and the tube is OF spe-
cial semi-spring temper steel with drop
forged yokes attached to the tubing by

CHILDREN WARNED OFF HIGHWAY
Increased Traffic and Automobiles
Increase the Danger.

increased Traffic and Automobiles
Increase the Danger.
In a letter sent out last week to the
president of the Board OF Education and
the Children's Aid society, an appeal is
made by the National Highways Protective
society to warn children of the danger OF
playing I'm the streets, and particularly Of
fooling around motor vehicles. The letter
is as follows:
Dear Slr:-So immense has the automo-
bile traffic become, the danger to the chill
dren of this city, due to the reckless driv-
ing OF irresponsible chauffeurs, is great, as
shown by the number OF killed and manned
during the month Of october. win you
not send out to the several schools a
"warning?'
Many children attach themselves to
moving vehicles. jump off. and are run
down by automobiles. They also dart out
from behind piles Of brick. etc. on the
streets and highways, and in some cases
try to see how close they can get to an
automobile without being run over.

NEW POLICE PATROL AT CAPITAL
Fully Equipped Machine, to Carry
Twelve People, Delivered.


A police patrol automobile for the police
department Of Washington, d.. c., has re-
Gently been delivered by the H. II. Frank
lin Manufacturing company. 1t is equipped
with an air-cooled, eighteen-horse-rower
engine, has a blue body, with red running
gear and seats ten people inside and two
outside.
1t has facilities for use as a temporary
ambulance, the cushions from the seaJs
Nalong the sides being removable and the
hinged seats lifting to give space for
stretchers and other paraphernalia. rnere
is a medicine chest under the drivers seat
and a compartment for supplies back of
the seat. accessible from the inside. There
are two brass lanterns, which are Instantly
detachable when needed. The body is Of
strong and light construction and TIE up
per part is entirely encased with a neral
grillwork. The driver is protected from
the weather by a glass front, a mackin' psh
apron and side curtains.
The motor car is fitted with large pneu-
matte tires, the use Of which is IN CON
formity with the idea OF commercial ear
tire equipment. In their favor it is an
nounced that they are more durable Than
solid rubber tires, cost less for upkeep-and
insure easy riding, which also means longer
life to the entire automobile.

I pay 10 cents per hour, or % cents in

rent used in my electric clock. but as a
single kilowatt hour will keep that running

the clock.
After this who will question the economy
of electric power?

DANES UNWILLING TO
LET AMERICANS SlFT
POLAR CONTROVERSY

COPENHAGEN, oct 4.-The an
rouncement of Dr. Cooks willingness
to request the University of Copenha-
gen to waive its claim to the first eX-
animation of the records Of his journey
to the north pole caused keen disap-
rointment, and whatever may be the
reply of the university to the explorer s
request, present indications do not fore
shadow graceful acquiescence on the
r,art of the general public.
The rector of the university today
said: mo such request has yet been re-
ceived from DR.. Cook, and it is impos-
sible to say what attitude the univer-
sity will take toward the suggestion
that American and other scientific bod
les shall first investigate the explorer 5
data The action of the university will
depend upon the reason Dr. Cook
gives"
The rector concluded that strong in
duences may have been brought to bear
upon DR.. Cook in order to cause him to
make such a request.
The general public is inclined to be
annoyed at the suggestion that foreign
scientific bodies shall first see the rec
crds. The people consider fhe promise
to give the university first opportunity
of nassing on the records nothing but
Justice, in view of the honors heaped
mon the explorer both by the univer-
sity and the Danish public, and their
ungrudging support and belief in his
exploits.

FRUIT GROWERS SCORE
TRIUMPH OVER ABUSES

w ASHINGTON, Oct 4-Flagrant
w abuses in fruit importations, en-
failing thousands of dollars of
loss to the government, occurring espe-
cially on the docks at New York, are
aimed at in regulations proclaimed to-
day by Acting Secretary of the Treas.
ury Reynolds, and directed to collec-
tors of customs, ''and all others con-
cerned."
The regulations estop importers from
delaying for a week or ten days the
filing of claims for allowances for de-
cay, destruction or injury of the fruit
imported, but not taken from the
docks, making it impossible for the au-
thorities to determine what to allow
for the deterioration of the imports.
California fruit raisers took up this
question with congress at the last ses'
sion, contending that the delays oper-
ated to the undue advantage of ltallan
interests, particularly as to oranges and
lemons.
The government is entitled to the
duty on the arrival of the fruit, and
forty-eight hours is fixed by the de-
partment under today's circular, as 70
the time within which, after the ar
rival of the vessel, importers may hle
their claims for allowance for shortage
or non-importation.
Immediately upon notice of these
claims, the appraisers, under direction
of the collectors, will detail one or
more examiners to determine promptly
the percentage of decay. The eXami-
ners will be called upon to set aside
representative packages consisting or
Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-05

at least per cent of each lot or mark,
and to open and examine them.
Must Report Soon
Within ten days after the landing Of
fruit the report of the appraisers must
be made to the collector fixing the per
centage of rotten and worthless fruit
found On this percentage, allowance
will be made in the liquidation of the
entry.
Where imported fruit or other perish
able goods have been condemned at the
port of original entry within ten days
after landing, no allowance Will be
made until the importers or their
agents within twenty-four hours file
detailed notice with the collector.
No allowance will be made for dam
age to any imported merchandise 9TH
er than the allowance upon unperish-
able goods on the ground of non-in-
portation.
Importers, however, are permitted
under the new regulations, to abandon
to the United States within tens days
after entry, all or any part of any
goods included in any invoice.
They will then be relieved from pay
ment of duty on the abandoned portion
provided it amounts to at least 10 per
cent of the total value or quantity of
the invoice.
The importers will have to deliver
the abandoned goods to the government
at some designated place within the
limits of the port, when the allowance
will be made in liquidating the entry
and the merchandise sold or destroyed.
On failure to deliver as required, the
government will take possession of the
goods at the expense of the importers.

rRu Associated Press

JACKSON, Cal, Oct. 4.-Lying un-
conscious in a coffin, Cecil Miller, a
16-year-old boy, was drawn up a 150-
foot cliff on the bank of the Con-
sumnes river, near Plymouth, yes
terday.
While hunting on the banks of the
river, young Miller stepped out on a
large fiat rock on Eagles Nest bluff,
which suddenly gave way, and precipi-
tated the boy down the precipitous
bank to the waters edge.
A companion ran to Plymouth, dis
tance of three miles, for assistance.
Believing Miller was dead, a coffin
was taken along by the rescue party.
After much difficulty two men and
the casket were lowered over the bluff.
The boy was found alive, but uncon-
scious and terribly injured. He was
placed in the coffin and raised to the
top of the bluff.
The rescue work was hazardous ana
required several hours. 1t was mid
night before the boy was placed in a
wagon and taken to Plymouth.
