In place of the single bevel r~inion and
single bcvel driving gear, there are two
bcycl pinions and two bevel driving gears,
aifording two different gear ratios, each
driving direct from the engine to the axle
without intermediate gearing. The low
direct drive gear is especially adapted for
city driving, where frequent stops are
made; the high direct drive is of especial
advantage where speed o fsixtcen or more
miles per noun are permissible or desir-
able.
This feature means a decrease in gaso-
line consumption, smoothucss in running
and freedom from vibration.
1t means that any given speed of the
engine produces an incrcasc of42 per cent
in the speed Of the car.

Some Statistics
for Suffrage

To the Editor Of The Tribune Woman's
Forum.
Grace Dumeld Goodwin answers "A.

accurate. aud yet which do not invalidatc
by main contentious "a great
falling of in educational facilities in the
last decade"
The abstract of the United States Cen
sls of 1910 gives Colorado illiteracy as ~

Of one-tenth OF per cent; for New York,

I'm Colorado. who are to blame for the
similar falling off In other states where
men only vote? What is the evidence that
women caused this great falling off, OF
one tenth Of per cent?
She says Did not point with
pride to Denver" True, because the
worse element of men and ants combined
are in great majority over the better Gle
ment of men and suffragists combined,
and IL does not compare with Seattle. for
example where the better element OF men
combined with the women, and on their

grafters. which had fourished many
years under man-only rule.
But even Denver compares most fla
vorably with our own fair city, under

She now says "A census report proves
nothing either way. unless it be used 10
study carefully the electoral consttu-
ency in various parts of the country"
Good! Let us 30 use It. She formerly

from tho community and not by outsiders.
the dictum Is absolutely and utterly lr-
relevant"
Mrs. Moody SAYS: Women Of Massa-
chusetts went 10 the legislature every
year for ffty-fyc years urging tho pas
sage Of law that would give TO "a
mother an equal right over her children
with tho father. on the nfty-hith year
the law was passed? Ia 1898 the women
Of Colorado got the vote. This same law
was passed there the first year.
TO this ! would reply. The Colorado
Law was not the result OF women suffrage
I'm that state, but was placed on the
statute books through the efforts Of a
Buffalo woman, then a resident of Colo
RADIO. with the cooperation Of good men
i'm IN" Senate and House of the Lcgisla-
!, tuIe. Before she undertook the work for
equal guardianship in Colorado she re
turned To Buffalo and consulted with Mrs.
George ". Townsend. OF that city. who
had succeeded i'm securing al equal
guardianship law In New York the year
before, and who was able TO advise her
what lines 10 pursue. 10 is not too much
TO sas therefore, that Mrs Townsend
was largely instrumental IN the passage
OF the law for Colorado, as she had been
in New York the previous year.
In Wyoming where women have voted
for more than forty years without pass
ling an equal guardianship law. As a
matter Of fact, there are fourteen states
which now have such a law, and Colorado
is the only suffrage state i'm the fourteen.
II appears. therefore. that, though en-
acted after woman suffrage was estab-
lisheC. I'm point OF time. the equal guar
dianship Law Of Colorado should not be
credited to equal suffrage

will say TO Mrs. Moody that If | am
| bitter it Is as woman who daily sees
new schemes arise 10 rob woman OF the
sacred duties and privileges which
through all generations have been hers.
the former of which cannot be performed
! by any other, neither man nor institution.
Now women are TO be robbed OF the

ORIGIN OF CHRISTMAS oolNes

GIFT GIVING.--From earliest Roman
times there was "A festival in winter when
every one presented gifts.
CHRISTMAS CANDLES AND COLORS.
The ancient Roman Saturnalia and the
Jewish Feast OF the Dedication, held near
our Christmas time. used candles in cele-
bratlon and also as gifts. At the time OF
Christ's birth no doubt the Jewish candles
were burning for their feast day. The
Greek Catholic Church calls Christmas
the Feast Of Lights The coors red and
green are used because holly seems to
grow in every country. and, too. poin-
settia Is red and Is In flower at this time.
MISTLETOE USED IN CHURCH
DECORAT1ON.-This plant which grows
on the oak tree was worshipped by the
Druids, so 1t cannot be used in non-pagan
church festivals.
