In particular the length of belt has
to be determined with considerable &C.
curacy. Nor this purpose a small steel
band Of known section Is, mounted on
the pulleys. driver and driven, and, q
tension frame is fitted to the ends of
this measuring band. Using a calibrat-

frame are drawn together until the

rotated without driving the belt. the
friction changing the tension indicated,
while next the other pulley is rotated
in the reverse direction, thus again
changing the tension. and the mean
of the two should correspond to the
desired working tension The band
can then be cut to the exact length
with the ends meeting. and when re

SLIPPING MOTOR GEARS.
Refusal Of Wheels to Stay In Mesh
Due to Several Causes.

- ~ ~ ~ WY III "UVO4V
Due to Several Causes.
Occasionally one or other Of the in
direct gears is prone to slip out Of en-.
gagement when the car is hill climbing.
The natural tendency Of the driver is
to put the gear into mesh again after
a momentary jab at the clutch. and he
generally makes a very bad gear scrap
ing job Of It. However. the point to
urge is that when any one pair Of gears
refuses to stop In mesh the matter
should be looked into at once. because
If it be allowed. to continue the teeth
very soon become, more or less tapered
or wedge shaped, and; there is no
remedy except a new gear wheel. or
probably a pair Of wheels. OF course
the trouble can always be momentarily
overcome BY holding the gear lever in
position while climbing a hill. but it ia
most awkward to have to devote one
hand to this job. ~..,.: -, =,sg,>:+s
: As a rule slipping out Of mesh. be-
gins through some dirt getting into the
gear changing mechanism in the box or
just outside In those cases where the
selector rods are not entirely incased.
Generally the cause, is quite simple.
though a little pad Of. hard grease
which has formed in the pocket behind
a selector rod may give a lot Of trou-
BILE before the cause is discovered.
Sometimes. too, the trouble is entirely
external: the foorboard may prevent
the lever when in m Of the speed
notches from coming right back. or
the seat cushion may foul the lever.
The first thing to do is to take up the
floor boards and open the gear box to
see whether the gears mesh properly
or not, but It win almost certainly be
found that when there is a tendency
for a gear to jump out only half the
width Of the teeth is In engagement.
Even If threequarters Of the width Of
the teeth slides into engagement it Is
not enough; a tendency to tapering IL
developed, and new gears will be-
needed. 81. ~

GERMANY PROPOSES
TO CHECkMATEJAPAN

The Hague, Aug. 20.-The German
kaiser is preparing to checkmate Ja-
pan. If possible her ultimatum will
be rendered ineffective.
Germany will probably voluntarily
Surrender to China the German colo
mics OF Kiaochou. In turning back
to China this territory the kaiser is
expected to emphasize that Germany
has been an economic force that has
made for improved conditions in the
Orient.
While definite decision has not been
reached q high German diplomat says
Germany is already negotiating with
China to turn back to the Oriental
republic all its leased territory.
There is the most intense indigna-
ton in German official circles over
the position assumed by Japan. But it
is believed the ultimatum was prepar.
ed at the dictation of Great Britain,
and that Japan in this instance is
simply the agent of England.
Little Falls herald., 1914-08-21
CAPITOL GOSSIP

While the European war IN q way:
has taken the 'pep'' out Of politics,
apathy in this respect need not be
taken as meaning that things political
" are not brewing. There is lot do
ing and it is going Congressman Ham
mond's way. So threatening is the sit
uation in Minnesota that w. E. Lee, the
republican gubernatorial nominee, is
now sleuthing through the eighth and
ninth districts in an effort to stem the
tide. Mr.. Lees hackers admit that
the outlook is not the best in the world.
With politics not only its bread and
butter, but stepping.stone to things
better in the line Of political ambi-
ton, the crowd that acknowledges the
state capitol as its official residence
naturally permits little in the way Of
outside upheavals to break in on its
.. daily grind and the present disturbed
European condition is no exception to
the rule. At the state capitol the boys
are agreed that machine rule is at
an end in Minnesota, for the present
at least. They have been doing some
quiet sleuthing themselves, and Con
gresham Hammond, the democratic
candidate for governor, is the bene.
ficiary of their findings. OF course, all
this must not be taken as meaning that
such good fellows as AL. Turrittin,
state bank examiner, Andrew Fritz,
public examiner, and Guy Eaton, state
; oil inspector, have abandoned their
political faith and taken to the woods
Simply because Mr.. Lees chances are
j in the nil column far from it. All OF
them are republicans, but at the same
, time they are men of sense. Mr.. Lee
. has their their best wishes, but from
now on their attention will be given to
, official business strictly.
That the people Of St. James and
Watonwan county, the home of Con
,, gressman w. S. Hammond, are not only
loyal to his candidacy for governor
Of this state, but are greatly interested
and doing everything possible for his
/; election, is evidenced by plan adopt
! ed by the business firms Of St. James
| to give Mr.. Hammond s candidacy as
! wide publicity as possible, according
/, to the Mankato Review. On the back
F.. of envelopes sent out by st. James bus
mess firms are printed the following
words: '.,.
