MAN EATERS OF AFRICA.
The Lions and croeodiles Are In Q
Class by Themselves.

tno LIONS ana Crocooiles are IN Q
Class by Themselves.
Man eating lions have always been
fairly common in East Africa. The
most noted but far from exceptional
case was that OF the two man eaters
which for a time stopped the building
Of the Uganda railroad by their raw
ages among the workmen until they
were finally shot by the engineer In
charge. Mr.. (afterward Colonel Pat
terson. Another lion, after killing sew
eral men around a station on the rail-
road. carried of and ate the superin-
tendent Of the division. The latter
had come down in his private car,
which was run on a siding, and he sat
up at window that night to watch
for the lion. But he fell asleep, and
the lion climbed on the platform, en-
tered the car by the door and carried
of his would be slayer through the
window.
In. the summer OF 1909 a couple of
man eating lions took to infesting the
Nasal villages on the plain around the
headwaters of the Guaso 'Nyiro, west
of Kenia, and by their ravages forced
the Nasal to abandon the district, and
the native travel routes across 1t were
also temporarily closed. A few. weeks
later I was hunting In the district.
We kept the thorn bona around our
camp closed at night, with a FIRE burn
ing and askaris on guard, and were
not molested.
Near Machakosboma a white travel
er was taken out of his tent by a man
eater one night good many years
ago. A grewsome feature of the incl
dent was that on it's first attempt the
lion was driven Off after having seized
and wounded its victim. The wounds
OF the latter were dressed, and he was
again put to bed, but soon after he had
been left alone the lion again forced
his way into the tent and this time
carried the man of and ate him.
Every year in East Africa natives
are carried off from their villages or
from hunting camps by man eating
lions. occasionally one hears of man
eating leopards, which usually confine
themselves to women and children,
and there are man eating hyenas. but
the true nan eaters of Africa are lions

PIERCE E-ARROW CLUTCH
INSURES SMOOTH START

A feature of the later Pierce-Arrow
models that is causing a good deal of
notice among owners and drivers is
the refinement of the clutch.
An experienced driver familiar with
his car is able in most cases, no mat
ter how brutal his clutch, to start
his machine without jerking. With
the refined Pierce-Arrow clutch any
operator can get a smooth start.
To all outward appearances the
clutch is, with the exception OF the
oil reta11ing ring, unchanged. but
upon4 cftlker investig gatfoai there viii
be af6ffnd six small steel springs
PLACED suHdernsath the leather facing.
fbrcfnEg the surface of the clutch out
at 1these points.
When first engagedytiie six small
-eurfafes take the initial strain, but
the total amount aof surface engaged
IS not sufficient to, cause the car to
jufnpas. is the case where the full
surface engages at once.
As the clutch is gradually forced
into engagement the springs flatten
out until when the clutch is all the
way in the entire surface has become
evened.

EXC[Us|VENESs OF
FINE MOTOR CAR

At a gathering of enthusiastic mo-
torists the other evening Mr.. A w.
Barber, distributor of Stevens Duryea
motor cars for the Pacific coast. made
mention that in a number of in
stances the distinctiveness of design
influenced the closing of a sale fully
as much as the price Of the car. He
continued that absolute individuality
or exclusiveness in anything, whether
it be jewel. tapestry, painting or an
article OF clothing, or an automobile,
is the rarest of features.
The creation of distinctive char
acter in any article requires so great
an expenditure of brains, time and
money that most of US are content to
follow the lines of least resistance
and become mere imitators.

OREGON
S. |. Grim Announces Il
Has Secured Oregon for
the Knox Company

An important announcement has just
been made in the commercial vehicle
world of the coast by the Reliance
Automobile company.
Samuel L. Grim, the head of the Re-
lance company announces that he
has secured the state of Oregon for
the output of the Knox factory, which
produces the Knox pleasure cars and
trucks. as well as the Knox Martin
tractors
In speaking of the enlargement of
the Reliance territory, Grim says:
we have secured the state of Ore
gon for the Knox output. The Knox
Martin tractor has met with a great
deal of enthusiasm among the han
dlers of freight in California; in fact.
since the first of the year we have
sold more than 40 of these tractors in
the northern part of California, and
when the Oregon territory was opened
we applied for and have secured this
section OF the coast
oregon is especially important in
the commercial vehicle world, from the
fact that large quantities of freight
have to be hauled over the mountains
and away from the railroads The
Knox Martin tractor has solved the
question of hauling freight over the
mountains, not only being more prac-
tical than the truck, but more eco
nomical, as 1t allows of the continu-
ing use OF present equipment.
1T was especially complimentary to
us to secure this territory. We were
not the only ones who had made a. bid
for 1t. Many local firms in the north
west have made several offers to the
factory but they have seen fit to ap-
point US as their representative.
1--WE will at once open up our head
quarters in Portland. As yet, we have
not decided whether we will establish
a direct branch Of the Reliance Auto
mobile company or appoint the SUBJ
agents. This depends entirely or the
