CLEANED UP NICE LITTLE SUM
ON THEIR RESTAURANTS
An interesting item appears on the
report Of the Chicago Telephone Co.,
submitted to the city today.
The report is for the six months
ending June 80. By the terms Of the
franchise granted Nov. 6, 1907, the
city gets 8 per cent of the gross re-
ceipts of the company from all
sources. And now it comes out that
one of the sources are the restaurants
controlled by the company and
patTonized by the employees. .
The report shows that for six
months, the company made $4,314
out of the restaurants. This in spite
of the. fact that the Chicago Tele-
phone Co. claims they merely kept up
the restaurants out of pure philan-
thropy toward the girls.

UNDRESSING CAR
HELD TO Be BEST

Like the football player who learns
TO run and charge and buck low, the
underslung motor car presents the
greatest efficiency OF automobile de-
sign today. Just as the football play
er running as closely as he can 10 the
ground offers less of a target to the
opposing tackler than the man who
runs straight up, so does the under
slung motor car, with it's low center Of
gravity. offer less OF target TO those
natural forces which tend to Tetard
It's progress.
There are a number Of natural ply
steal forces to be reckoned with in
the operation Of a motor car. Perhaps
the most important OF these is the
sidesway that makes for undue stress
es and excessive wear on various parts
OF the machine and for discomfort for
the occupant. With the weight OF the
car slung below the axles and the
center OF gravity thereby lowered TO a
very appreciable extent as in the con-
struction OF the American. a number
Of serious strains are either overcome
or so distributed that the effect Is
equalized and lessened all around. For
instance, In overslung construction the
centrifugal strain exerted in rounding
corners comes. unevenly. above the
Epiudies of the wheels and vertically
ON the springs. This Is the cause Of
s.4Dswiug. In the American Under
E.ung this centrifugal force Is applied
equally on both wheels, and at prac-
ideally the same height as the wheel
suiudles, with only lateral and no YER
.iral strain on the springs. Therefore
tu. body is held practically rigid
against all lateral motion. And though
the center OF weight Of the overhung
car we're brought as low as that OF
the undressing by means Of an exces
siye drop in the frame, the high sus,
pension would still induce sidesway.
Again. the underslung construction
brings the centers Of weight, support
and suspension TO the same level
making for the uniform pressure or
the wheels In the overhung car this
effect cannot be attained because there
must necessarily be a differentiation
OF these three centers. II Is plain tC
be seen, therefore. that with this un
even pressure on the wheels, the over
hung car is more difficult to steer a
high speed. when the sidesway infiu
ence IL greatest.
Another great advantage Of the un
derslung construction Is that the cen
ter OF gravity is lowered and the dan
ger OF capsizing much less. Repeated
tests both intentional and impromptu
have been made which show that oil
turning abruptly at high speed tn,
wheels OF the undressing car do no
leave the ground The low center o
gravity produces a tendency for hug
giug'' the road that practically elimi
mates the danger Of turning over.
Spring economy is an importan

The Tri-City Auto show at the col
iseum in Davenport will continue
through tomorrow instead Of ending
tonight as per plans. The reason for
the adding OF a day to the length Of
the exhibition is that big crowds are
attending daily and many from nearby
towns and cities have intlmated a de-

OF people an opportunity 10 see the

They have notified the management to
that effect.

THE SELF-STARTER
ON MOTORCYCLES

One Of the sensitive features at the
tri-city automobile show at the Coli
scum is the adoption Of the se.f-start-
er On motorcycles. 1t is believed by
all that have seen the operation Of
this device at the Chicago show last
week that it will revolutionize the
motorcycle industry and popularize
the sport in exactly the same manner
as the adoption of the self-starter
made automobiling hundred times
more popular than it was before the
introduction Of the labor-saving device.
The machine thus fitted is the Fly

was formerly part Of the crank case.
In addition to the self-starter, the
machine is provided with a two-speed
and free engine hub OF the Sun and
Planet type. This is operated by a
lever at the side of the tank, and as
the gears are always in mesh there
is no possibility OF stripping them.
The self-starter and two-speed hub,
as we'll as the foot boards, are provid.
ed only on the 445 yellow Jacket"
and IT'S yellow Jacket" models.
In addition to these models there
are shown four-horsepower single cyl.
inder machines, fitted with free engine
clutch and both bolt and chain drives,
and corresponding models with seven.
horsepower engines.

NATION WIDE SERVICE FOR
STEARNS-KNIGHT OWNERS

A variation Of the usual activities Of
automobile manufacturers has been
initiated by the F. B. stearns Co., of
Cleveland, in behalf of owners of
Stearns-Knight cars. A nationwide
organization Of field service men has
been specially trained at the Steans
plant, and the firm now can place at
the disposal of the owner of a car at
any point in the United States a skill
ed mechanic who has specialized on
the construction of the Stearns-Knight
car. The underlying idea of this de.
velopment is to give service to the
owner of the car on a plane above
mere selling activity.
These men are brought to Cleveland
from the Stearns-Knight agencies IN
all parts of the country. The expense
Of their training is met entirely by the
manufacturer, full fare both ways be
ing paid, and the men being paid fol
their service while working in the
plant The movement Is dependent I'D
on thoroughly organized school con
/ Quoted at the plant, in which the me
chanics work on all parts of the car
and get special lectures and black
board talks at night
The work this year Is being carriet
on at an expense of over $4,000. AS {
result Of this, any owner Of a Stearns
knight car may have at his commont
within "a hours in any part of the Unit
ed States one Of the Stearns specla
service men. This time limit applies
only to distant points in the west AMI
south. In the cities such a man ma
] be secured at once.

Which Falls Quicker?

II one marble be snapped horizontal.
~ from the top of table ard another
be dropped from the same height at
the same instant. which reaches the
floor first?
This question is sent to the Scientific
American by a correspondent, and the
editor of that magazine answers it as
follows:
Sir Isaac Newton stated three laws
of motion which from his time to the
present have been universally accepted
as true. The second law is. "A given
force produces the same effect whether
1t acts upon a body at rest or in mo-
ton, whether it acts alone or together
with other forces" You will see that
the second part of this law covers the
case of a bali dropped from table
and another ball shot horizontally from
the same level at the same instant.
The first ball falls by the force of gray
ity alone. The second ball has, as You
say, two forces acting upon it. The
ball Obeys both forces at the same
time. 1t falls as if gravity acted alone.
1t goes by the blow as if the blow act
ed alone. Both balls reach the floor
at tho same instant
