first disengaging low gear and hold ing the gears in neutral until friction has slowed the countershaft and the clutch down enough so that the speeds of the teeth on the two inter mediate gears are the same. If the clutch brake is fitted, the period of waiting is reduced as the brake aids in slowing down the shaft. The type ence the time of waiting to some ex- tent. For instance, 1t will take a cone clutch with large radius from the center of the shaft a much longer time to slow down than a. light disk clutch with a small radius.
 The shift to high gear is made to second. On some cars a better shift can be made by only pushing the clutch pedal out half way when high is to be engaged. Under ordinary circumstances it is not necessary to accelerate to more than 10 miles per hour before shifting to high gear, There certainly is no necessity for speeding the car ups to 20 miles or more, as a great many do unless the start is made on a hill or a, very very rapid acce1eration is desired.
 There is a possi bility In making a. silent shift that one will wait too long with the result that the gear will be missed, that is, the speed of the countershaft gear will drop to less than that of ] the main shaft gear, and it becomes very difficult or impossible to mesh the gear. In this case, the ordinary method is to en- gage low gear and shift again. How ever, it is not necessary to go to all this trouble. Merely bring the gear lever to neutral, engage the clutch, and then accelerate the motor to bring the speed of the countershaft high enough so that the intermediate gear on this shaft is moving faster than the one on the main shaft. Then disengage the clutch and shift.
 In changing from a higher gear to a lower, 1t is more difficult to make the change silently. The ordinary method, which makes more or less noise depending on what the relative gear speeds happen to be, the amount of friction, and the size of the rotat- ing masses. is to shift the gears as quickly as possible. Little. momen- tunn is lost by this practice, which is important on a hill, but the shift is very liable to be noisy
 A quiet shift may be acconp1ishe only by taking proper steps to bring the teeth. of the engaging gears to the same speed. One way Of doing this is to hold down the accelerator pedal and then release the clutch only enough to allow the motor to aeceI-
 crate to the speed required by the | lower gear. When this speed is reach ed, the clutch pedal is held stationary and the shift is made. Then the clutch is engaged. Another way to disengage the clutch, bring the gear lever to@neu- tra1 and then engage the clutch for an instant, while the motor is speeded up to the speed required by the lower gear, when the change is made. The gear lever may be brought to neutral without disengag-
 ing the clutch by closing the throt-
 tie for an instant and shifting at the
 instant that no powef is being trans rnitted.

Figures obtained from 31,000 0 establishments employ ing in the aggregate more than one million people show that about half of them were closed temporarily by the mobilization order and that they lost about two-thirds of their work men at that time.
 Since modification was completed, the number Of factories open has in creased 43 per cent. and the number of workers sS per cent. Many es- ta;b1ishments which were running only two or three days a week in August now are operating normally and some Of them even on an over time basis. Plants most active are those producing articles needed for carrying on the war.
 workers in the textile. leather and metal trades have more than doubled while those making clothing have in- creased 80 per cent and chemicals 76 per cent.

To the Voters of st. Tammany:
was elected in 1912 by a large
majority over Dr. Marrero, my pre-
decessor in Office. As coroner my
career during the past four years
has been an unusually active one.
Since my induction into Office the
first reform which l introduced was
the requirement of death certificates
in all cases, matter which in the
past had been frequently neglected,
1t being a well known fact that per-
sons in the remote sections through
out the woods, died and were buried
with no official knowledge coming
to the State. Another reform which
l have established by record, is the
TACT that no unknown dead have been
buried until their identity could be
