INVENTs NEW MOTOR GEAR.
. --
Ioung Engineers Device May Revolu.
tiOnize Auto Industry.

(kansas City Times.)
GU aren't in a motor car. A week
OF rain has just ended and the road
Is full OF treacherous Doggy holes.
niled with sloppy water. Your left
rear wheel gets into one Of these
holes. The weight of your car puts
YOU in half way to the hub. You give
your engine all the gas and Juice"
it will take, thinking the snorting mo-
tor will pull you out.
But all that happens is that the
left rear wheel makes a thousand rev.
buttons in the slippery mud, your
other rear wheel kicks a little-and
you remain in the hole. Why?
Your own engineering knowledge
OF your machinist or your dealer will
tell o the di~fferential is to blame.
They tell YOU the only way that will
help any is to put chains on your tire.
And tina wears them out and doesn't
do the work. anyway.
A dinerential gear is the thing on
the rear axle. or a motor car which
houses the machinery transmitting
power from the drive to the axle.
Why is it. called a ~differential? Be-
cause when a a goes around q curve,
one rear wheel has to go faster than
the other. That e that you have
to have something which will make
a difference in the power transmitted.
1t must give more power to one
wheel than to the other. The differ
tial consists of a b~ewildering array of
what engineers call spur gears" The
whole yea revo1ves on the axle until
your al strikes q place where one
wheel is given a chance to go faster
than the other. Then 1t does 1t. Es-
pecially in water puddles and other
slippery places when rounding corn
3.
The imperfection Of the differential
gear Is the one thing that has retard-
ed motor truck development. Some
companies haye even used devices to
throw their differentials out Of action
at certain times. One company has
spent $4,000 to find q new and bet
ter gear.
William +. Muehl. a young Chicago
engineer. still under 80 years, has in
vented what Is believed to be the SOL
ution. The new diferential makes
use of a number Of spiral gears. which
perform the necessary functions of a
differential. But in straigllt-aheld
going the gear makes it impossible
for one wheel to receive more or less
power than the other. 1t drives
through the wheel. encouraging not
the least. but the greatest. resistance.
The possibilities of the new inven-
ton r great. Tires and gasoline are
saved; skidding largely done away
with. and the new gear adds largely
to motor truck usefulness.

Emil Carlson won recognition first
as painter of still life +. He was
born in Copenhagen Denmark; but
he came over to America when he
was yer young man, settling first in
Boston. He afterward went to the
Pacific Coast, where he taught art
and had large number of pupils.
His early struggles were severe
indeed, and he was put to it to make
both ends meet. In those old days
he used to take dead chicken and
keep painting it till the other occu-
pants of the building protested at
the gamy odors that came from his
studio. Fish also from time to time
made it awkward for his fellow work
ers on account of their long stay in
his workshop; but those were days
when to buy goose or shad was
a serious consideration with Carl
sen. ..@
Curiously enough, the man always
had a singularly original color point
of view, seeing it in manner quite
different from his fellows. Indeed,
no other worker in this country pos
sesses so Individual an outlook on
the world of color. He has as we'll a
method of painting quite his own, of
handling his pigment, of blending
the tones and obtaining sparkle and
vibrancy.
Few painters keep up their inter-
est to such a high pitch. Carlson is
today as enthusiastic as beginner.
Among the members of the Salma-
gundi Club of New York, that init
mate artistic organization, Carlson is
most popular, and they have given

The Waste That
Haste Makes

To busy people the most valu-
able thing in the world is time.
We may lose our money, our
friends or our umbrellas and pos
sibly get them back again, but
an hour once gone is gone fore
ever. Rs
That is rather a SOLDERING
thought.
But this does not mean that we
must conduct our affairs in wild
haste, because there is almost as
much time lost in lifetime by
misdirected energy as there is by
idleness.
In order to get the best results
in using time, it is necessary to
plan first and act afterwards. In
that way we may avoid any super.
fluous motions.
Take for example one field of
activity-the purchase of all the
articles for our daily use. We have
all wasted precious hours scurry-
ing here and there, uncertain
what we wanted and where to find
it. Finally we have returned home
and announced triumphantly that,
"Just by luck I ran across the
very thing at So and Sos" That
little expression, "just by luck"
shows lack of forethought and
does us no credit. If we had spent
ten minutes reading the advertise
ments in THE PIONEER we could
have planned the shopping trip
intelligently beforehand and saved
our time, energy, and some money
as we'll.

Another Renaissance.

The labor with which we try to
build up again that which we have
destroyed is we'll illustrated by the
American commission now travelling,
abroad to investigate the co-opera-
tive systems of fourteen different
countries. The commission has COM
pleted it's studies in Italy, where it
found bankrupt and beggered peas
antry transformed into a prosperous
body of bank depostiors by the magic
wand Of cooperative banks. 1t be-
comes apparent that what has really
been restored to the Italian peasan-
try is the neighborliness familiar to
past generations.
Time was, and not so long ago
either, when spirit of mutual help
fulness prevailed in rural commune
ties, when one farmer helped another
with labor and money, when recipro-
cal accommodation was the rule of
the day and place. Help in time of
trouble was taken for granted
Friendship was unorganized but not
the less practical for that.
Now our government has sent a
commission abroad to learn how to
organize the mutual helpfulness of
rural community jewellers, and this
commission finds a well-wrought sys-
tenn based upon the farmers confid-
ence in one another. When it returns,
it will doubtless propose the establish
ment of rural banks, following the
general line of the German Raffeisen,
here, and these banks will depend for
their success, very largely, upon the
confidence of our farmers in one an
other. :.
Two features Of the Italian devel-
opment, however, should be carefully
noted. One is the capitalization of
the Italian PEASANTS thrift; the other
is intensive agriculture. Taking them
by and large, Americans have been
lavish; particularly those Of the west,
where nature has been prodigal in
the distribution Of her bounty. With
out such thrift as may acquire
credit value, the cooperative credit
system will probably fail if it is not
still born; and without intensive ag-
riculture the production value of the
land will not be correspondingly in
creased. .u =:
But in so far as the experiment sue
cGeds, 1t will be due to intelligent
and progressive organization of com
munity good will, as is true of all
cooperative schemes. The slump of
mutual helpfulness in the rural COM
munities is easily explained. The old
homogeneitybetween the farmers was
broken up when strangers acquired
their holdings. In some communities,
new racial homogeneity has sprung
up, and, in some others, if it should
be possible to establish the co-opera-
tive system, if our currency system
will permit 1t, with proper bulwarks
and safeguards; and these institu-
