sIckroom Screen.

A screen in the sickroom is almost
indispensable, for it is needed to keep
light from the patients eyes, to guard
the bed from drafts, or shut out the
sight of medicine bottles and so forth.
An excellent sanitary screen is made
by tacking white oilcloth on to a
frame, then painting on in oil pretty
scene as birds or butterfiie These
screens can be washed as often as
necessary.

IMPORTANCE Of THE
UNIVERSAL JOINTS
Scientific Transmission of Power
to Rear Axle Regardless of
Angle or Bend

Few automobile owners appreciate
joints declares George F. McFar-
land, of the Harrisburg Automobile
Co, distributors, in this territory for
the Haynes, Americas first car. I'm
order to get sufficient road clearance,
the crank shaft of the motor must be
mounted on a line some distance
above the rear axle so that the power
from the motor must be transmitted
through an angle or bend in the pro-
peller shaft which connects the mo-
tor with the rear axle.
"Quite a few devices have been de-
veloped for this purpose, but the use
of the universal joint has proved to be
the most satisfactory. However some
manufacturers make the mistake of
using but one universal Joint in the
driving shaft. 1t has been proved
when one joint only is used and the
angle which the two shafts make with
one another is large, as is the case
during excessive spring action in run
ming over rough roads, that the power
is transmitted unevenly.
THAT is. there is an actual differ
ence in velocity of the shaft at sew
eral points during one revolution of
the shaft, and the twisting action
produced in the shaft on this account
must be absorbed either in the shaft
itself or in the driving gears. The re-
suit is that the gears soon wear, the
bearings loosen up, and a large
amount of lost motion and noise de-
velops on account of this strain put
upon them.
"It has been determined by using
two universal joints in the propeller
shaft, between the motor and the
axle, that this difference in speeds of
the shaft at different points of each
revolution is entirely compensated,
and the power is transmitted evenly
from the motor to the rear axle re-
gardIess of the angle or bend in the
shaft
"1'he Haynes Light Six is equipped
with two large universal joints en-
tirely protected by metal housings so
constructed as to resemble ball and
socket joints Perfect flexibility of
driving is secured without the least
strain on the gears or shaft, and the
joints are amply fabricated by the
grease retained in the metallic hous-
ing" -

THE STORY TOLD BY

Note:-The following is taken from

the southern States. The reader must
excuse the continued use of the ego

facts about "herself''-"modesty' is

Mother being a town car and Father

the ground in his younger days. But
he got old and when he finally got
down to one lung, he had to take a
back seat. Lots of young racers
though, try to follow Pas example to-
day, but few of them have the speed
he had. Mother is holding her own

the hospital so much. He had the
drink habit something awful. Why,
he could drink more gasoline and
carry it. than any car 1 ever saw.
How many brothers and sisters

an addition about every five minutes
and have so many brothers and sis

our family is very popular. We don't
stay together very long. We no more

our factory and stopped. They were
arguing about me and l heard one
man say to the other, I'll bet you a
good hat that she can take you 1900
miles and you won't have to touch
her.
OF course, it pleased me to hear
myself praised and / was not in the
least scared when the other man re-
piled, piled, I'll take your bet and be-
