DESCRIBES MERITS
OF power SYSTEM
ORGANIZED AS UNIT

THE increasing popularity Of the
unit power plant construction is indi-
cative of its many advantages" states
Earl o. Spangler, distributor for The
Haynes Light Six.
I'm the unit power plant type of
construction, the engine is combined
with the clutch and change-speed
gearing, giving very compact as.
sembly. The clutch is bolted directly
to the rear of the motor. The change
speed gearing. or transmission, is
then mounted Immediately behind the
clutch, SO that the clutch, transmits
sion and engine are built in one unit
This construction has the advan-
tage Of retaining indefinitely the pos
tive alignment of the transmission
with the engine. This relation be-
power plant is built at the factory,
by any condition of rough roads or
hard driving. This, of course, pre-
vents any possibility of lost motion
from this source.
The gear box is located Immediate
ly under the driver. This permits the
use of the ball-and-socket gear-shifting
lever, which engages directly with the
transmission gears. The ball-and-
socket lever construction makes gear
shifting so easy that the feminine
driver has no trouble in changing
speeds.
When the transmission is placed
on the rear axle, the long rods that
are necessary to reach from the gear
shift lever to the gear-box often work
loose and become very noisy. This,
of course, is impossible where the
transmission is built as an integral
part of the motor.
The mechanical advantages of the
unit power plant construction, togeth.
er with its silence, insure the incor.
poration of this design on all of the
latest cars of the better class

1t is for the benefit of the township

Albert Anderson, president of the

formation about Walter Thornburg, a
stockman and farmer, who was de-
nounced by his third wife in this city

the Thornburg she referred to left Pc
oria about eight years ago and was
last heard of in Memphis, Tenn. She
said she was particularly anxious to

figured in the local escapade, but did
not assign any reason for her curiosi-
ty. She wanted photograph of him

THEY'RE ALL HER BOYS
AND WRITE HER REGULARLY

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 19.-Mrs.
Emma Ellis received another letter
today from one OF her boys. She gets
letters Of this kind every day and ans
wers them quickly. The letters are
from boys in the navy who have no
mother. and they write TO mothers In
Indianapolis who have adopted the
young bluejackets by mail.
The idea came to Mrs. Ellis half a
year ago, but no one save the moth
ers, commanding officers in the navy
training camps and the sailors them
selves knew about 1t until today. for
Mrs. Ellis did not seek publicity.
81 know how lonesome motherless
boys in the navy must be" said Mrs.
Ellis. Il wrote TO several command
ing officers in the navy training sta
tions asking for names of boys who
have no mothers and who would like
to correspond. The list has steadily
grown. I never choose a mother to
write to these boys until have learn
ell to know her personally as a good
Christian woman. we'll educated, who
can feel deeply. She must be an ac-
complished letter writer-one who
can really inspire the boy given over
to her"
Mrs. Ellis has many letters from
commanding officers who say she is
starting a work that should spread
throughout the country. These letters
have come from the Atlantic and Pa.
