sTEARNs SHOWS REQUIREMENTS

Practically no changes have been made
in the mechanical construction of Stearns-
Knight cars for the 1914 season. accord
ing to Arthur Lesser, manager of the b.
y. Stearns Company OF New York. Tho
adoption of left hand drive ard centre
control, centralized steering control OF
carbureter and ignition system. optional
wire wheel equipment and the tapering
hood and cowl, forming one unbroken
surface from front to back of car, are re-
finemerro.
"Three new models a six passenger
touring car, coupe and sedan. have been
added to the Stearns-Knight line for the
present season, affording an even wider
range of choice than In previous years."
says Mr.. Lesser.
"rhe steering column control on these
cars is especially worthy OF note. Instead
of the hoxlilie affair sometimes seen IL IL
"A small compact arrangement OF levers
and buttons Just under the steering wheel.
The levers which do not project mora
than an inch, control the carbueter and
IGNITION system and the buttons operate
the electric lights. The horn button is
also located in the centre of the steering
Wheel so that all controls arc within easy
reach Of the operators hand, and this
without detracting In any way from the
appearance of the car"

DOES YOUR TIRE PUMPING FOR
YOU.

One OF the features Of the Moline
Knight which will appeal to all drivers
who have had occasion to pump tires on
a cold wintry or u sizzling summer day Is
the two cylinder air pump for tire in
fation. The tire pump is carried at the
forward end Of the motor and driven by
gears from the crankshaft.
Just behind the fan pulley there Is n
small spur gear and an idler gear always
in mesh with the gear on the pump
crankshaft. The ider gear is pivoted so
that by means of n lever which projects
to the front of the car under the RAJ
diator. 1t may be swung into mesh with
the gear on the engine crankshaft by

LAWTON BOY HAD PICKED UP
SHELL AND WAS USING AK TO
OPEN 1T.

Lawton, Okla, March 10.-Robert,
the 11-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. j,
Mr. Clark was instantly killed at
O'Clock this morning by an explosion
of a three-inch shell, which he was
endeavoring to open with an AK. The
body of the boy was simply blown to
pieces, both feet being blown away as
well as one hand. He was disembow-
eled as a portion of his chest was torn
away. The force of the explosion was
felt throughout the entire neighbor-
hood. Shingles from the roofs of the
neighboring houses were torn off and
portions of the shell fell at distance
of over 100 yards. The explosion was
plainly heard in all portions of the
city.
1t is. supposed the boy had picked
up the shell on the military reserva-
tion at Fort Sill. The shell was loaded
with high explosives and is used in
the big three-inch guns of the artil-
lery.
