transitions. says a recent editorial in
The Automobile one of the authorities
Of the industry, 1T is questionable IL the
two-speed axle now that it has been
announced by tile Cadillac company, will
not be taken up with avidity. The two
speed axle is more needed today than
ever before, first because ears are be-
ms made heavier and motors smaller, and
second. because fuel consumption Is be
ing given more consideration than eSei
be fore.
There ia need for greater filel economy,
many cars are entirely too extrava-
CANT ON fuel. The reduction in motor
dimensions tends to reduce the fuel con-
-umed, but the added weights place
handicap on it. The two-speed axle used
in conjunction with a three or four
speed gearbox will give all the speed
variations that present road conditions

THE two-speed axle Is most necessary
IN lcyel, as we'll as in hilly countries,
and 1t is particularly necessary where
there is much driving in cities and also
In the open country. Hosts of cars are
drven 80 per cent of the time in the open:
and both have the same gear ratio. With
city driving at Is miles per hour and
country driving around % or 30 miles per
hour, it is certain that in both cases the
motor cannot be operating within its
range of maximum efficiency. Ii its ef-
fclency range suits the city field. then 1t
does not suit the country situation so
well, and vice versa. The two-speed axle
meets these requirements and gives each
cwnor direct drive. Not only will the
motor have a longer life. but the wear
and strain on all of the other parts of
the car will be eorrespondingly reduced.
For hilly countries there is ample
necessity for two direct drives. as af-
forded by the two-speed axle. In many

expense of tires and the car In general.
many prefer TO practically slow down and
make the hill on second or perhaps low.
THE value of the two-speed axle be-
comes more apparent also because of the
more general use of high-speed, smaller
sized motors. With these motors 1t is
essential TO keep the speed we'll up on
the hills as. if it drops, low gear will
have to be brought into use. the two
speed axle will offer double opportunity
in such work.

PIERCE ARROW USES
COPPER CONDUITS

A person little realizes Sle expense and
time some manufacturers go to to elimi-
nate every possible chance of trouble.
Take for instance the wiring of the
Pierce-Arrow. The company uses what
is called the single wire system-that is
they use half the usual amount of wire
and make the chassis do the work of the
other half. These wires naturally have
to be strung along the frame. Constant
vibration would cause wear and event
ually breakage or short circuit. So the
Pierce-Arrow factory after experimenting
with several different kinds of material
now run all this wire through copper
eonduits.
These condults are very tight fit and
after they have been bent to fit the frame
1t is impossible to change the location of
the wires in the conduit either by force
or vibration.
A person is conscious In a general way
that there electric wires used in a
machine, but when ne stops to consider
that with less than half the amount of
wire used by most makes there are 1914
feet not counting motor and generator
windings used for the lighting and start
ing of a Pierce-Arrow enclosed car he
can readily see that there would be many
chances for trouble If care was not taken
to make it practically impossible.

OVERLAND BU Us
NEW INTERESTS

Local agents for the Overland-Drennen
Co.-announeed yesterday that the over
land company, in furtheranee of their
policy of Standardization, had taken over
the Globe Ballbearing company of Nor
wieh. Conn.
In an interview Mel nrennen SAYS IN
that connection:
"An important step toward the ulti-
mate complete standardization of its prod
uct by the manufacture of every part
entering the car, has recently been an
nounced by the Overland company This
Is the purchase of the Globe Ballbearing
company of Norwich, Conn, a large and
modernly equipped factory for thNman-
ufacture of ballbearlngs. The entire ma
chnery of the concern is being moved
to Elmira, n Y, where it will be re-
Established in connection with the Nor
row Manufacturing company, another
subsidiary of the Overland company
"The purchase OF the Globe ballbearing
plant means that the Overland is one
step nearer the ideal of the company,
that of a completely home-built car.
Since the formation of the Willys-Over-
land company. the constant aim has been
to produce "A strictly built-from-the-
ground-up product. For several years the
car has been just this, in every important
essential, and the ACQUISITION of facilities
for manufacturing the few parts that
have heretofore been purchased simply
means that we are carrying our policies
to the extreme.
About 200 men viii be added to the
staff of the WHY'S industries with the
establishment of the new plant in Ell
mira, and from time to time the number
will be increased. We are preparing
to turn out about 800 bearings per day
at the start and this production will be
increased as our demand grows. With the
manufacture of our own ballbearings un-
der way, the purchaser of an Overland
has more complete assurance than ever
that he is getting the best and most
carefully made parts it is possible to-pro-

BIRMINGHAM MOTOR
TAKES HUPP LINE

The Hupp ears are now in charge of
the Birmingham Motor company Tor this
territory. Formally Charles Denegre rep
resented the Hupp. The new represen-
tatives, behind whom Stands Loyeman.
Joseph & Loeb, received yesterday the
new cars for 1914, which have attracted
wide attention.
The Hupp officers think business will
be good, for Gentry Elston, general man
ager, said yesterday that President Drake
of the Hupp company made recently this
statement:
THE outlook for 1914 automobile busi-
ness Is excellent, not only on account of
on account of the permanency and sta
bility of our organization, both at home
and afield
1T is not a far cryt from 1905 to 1913.
vet those six years have witnessed a
remarkable growth of the automobile in
dustry. In 1908 the Hupmobile was born
in a shed; today 1t is housed in plant
of 100000 square feet of floor space, with
as complete an equipment as money can
buy to turn out the very best that our
engineers can design. Production prob
lens are a thing of the past with us.
Our organization. starting naturally
with a small unit, has gradually been
enlarged, so that the factory and deal
ers organizations take care of any ex-
panSlOn OF our business. NATURALLY. IN
the intensification of our development a
few changes had to be made, as we'll as
additions to our executive and sales
forces.
Perhaps the best Illustration of the
efficiency of an organization is in its
results. One year ago we faced the
problem of doubling our entire product
an undertaking which meant the selling
of some 14.e0O cars. The fact that we
have accomplished this is the best an
swer that / know of as to the depend
ability of our organization
The policy of the organization has
always been to so arrange its plans that
tie services of no one man would be
indispensabile-a policy that we have been
able to work out effectively through the
harmonious teamwork among the heads
of the different departments.
Another fact in regard to the perma-
nency of our institution is that, since
the Incorporation of this company there
has been less than a 10 per cent change
among its distributors. Today prae-
tically every Hupmoble dealer has es-

bS hand. However for emergency use
a hand gear shift lever is provided, the
same as a crank is provided for use in
emergency connection with any make of
electric starter. This emergency gear
shift lever can be quickly attached in
case of need. but in all probability it
will not be needed.
THE solenoid coils used to make the
shift are energized by the battery which
furnishes current for the electric starter
and lights. The amount of current used
for shifting gears is so small that it
can hardly be measured. as current is
being thrown from the battery only a
fraction of a second at the times when
the gears are being shifted. When the
gear is in mesh, II is firmly fastened
there by a spring plug device.
The Vulcan electric gear shift is as
fool proof and as free from trouble
as the ordinary hand lever and its use
in connection with the Haynes makes
driving simple an opera tion that the
woman OF slight build, whose physical
strength has not been able to endure the
strain of shifting the gears by hand. and
the man of a nervous condition. who is
in constant horror of doing the wrong
thing with the gear lever. can now drive
and really enjoy it,
''To sum up, the benefits of the Vul-
can electric gear shift are:
a. 1t is unnecessary to remove the
hands from the wheel while driving
~ The driver. may always anticipate
his speed change before he throws out
his clutch pedal.
49, The clutch is always fully olsen
gagged and the gears are always drawn
to neutral mechanically before a shift
is made, thus rendering it impossible to
strip a gear.
4. The rapidity with which gears may
be shifted in crowded traffic makes this
device almost Indispensable in congested
city streets.

the Haynes car, equipped as the Haynes
is, with an electric starting and light

Tin automobile circles few innovations
or improvements contemplated have
L excited so much interest as the
Haynes automatic gear shift arrange

The keenest interest has been brewed
here not only among automobile dealers,
who are alert 10 these new situations
and must keep informed about them to
save themselves, but the buying public
has been exercised over the proposed

all fields of research have been conquered
but yet there has been amazement man

true it is small wonder that the Haynes
announcement giving the details of such
proposition excites and interests

 turaI Institutes.

Western Newspaper niou News Service Llttie Rock.-Dean Martin Nelson of the College of Agriculture of the Uni Versity of Arkansas and the balance of the agricultural faculty have re turned to Fayetteville after spending the summer in conducting farmers in sututes at different points in the states& These institutes have been held at the bounty seats of nine counties. With the exception of the one held al Magnolia, each institute lasted a week and practical lectures and demonstra- tons were given each day from about o;30 in the morning until 4:30 in the afternoon. A total of 2,150 farmers were enrolled in t.e courses and a large majority of these attended prac- dcally all the lectures given during the course of the institute. The last work done was at Hot Springs, where l course lasting for three days was given to about 70 of the government agricultural demonstrators. who were assembled in Hot Springs for their annual meeting.
 It is the purpose of the university to continue this work to as great an extent as possible throughout the fall and winter and to go into it in the summer of 1914 on a greater scale than ever. Practically all the places at which institutes were held this summer have made requests for an. other one in 1914 and many additional requests have come in from other coun- ties. It is probable that throughout the fall and winter number of week end institutes, lasting for two or three days each, will be held in various counties
