Internal Gear Drive
Wins Favors in London

Had any American motor truck
manufacturer prophesied a year ago
that Within few months motor trucks
made in this country would be used for
omnibus work in the streets of Lon
don he would, undoubtedly. have been
laughed at in a good many quarters.
To-day he could point to that
prophecy with an Il told you so" air.
At least thirty American trucks
nave been placed in omnibus service in
London by the Great Western Rail-
road and all are of the internal gear
drive type. 1t is rather a noteworthy
fact that these trucks, equipped as
they are with gear drive axles, have
passed every test prescribed by Scot
land Yard for quietness of operation.
The code of regulations for motor
driven omnibuses in London is the
most stringent of any large city in the
world, particularly in the matter of
noise. Principally as a consequence OF
the noise the chain drive for omnibus
work in London became obsolete there
and English designers developed a
type of shaft drive to meet this con-
dition. Designers on the continent,
however, favored the internal gear
drive and the fact that American axles
OF this type now meet with the appro-
val of the London police is expected
to have a marked effect on omnibus
construction in the future. The inter-
nal gear drive type is a feature of the
Republic trucks sold here by the Hud-
son sales agency.

Automobile Notes

Lee Dwell vice-president of the
Chalmers Motor Company, is making
an extended tour through the south
west, where he is conducting dealers
conventions. He reports that particu-
larly through the agricultural and
grazing sections, conditions are favor
able for large motor car sales during
the summer months.
That the motor industry is in the
most prosperous stage in its history
is indicated by the statement made by
j. j. Cole. president of the Cole Motor
Car Company, that the month of May
Company since the inception of the
concern. Forty per cent. more cars
were shipped during May than in any
other month in the company's his
tory.
A gasoline mileage test in a new
Cole eight-cylinder touring car with
the top up, run on the streets of In
dianapolis and the roads near the city
last week. showed an average OF 16.2
miles to each gallon. Every drop of
gasoline in the care was drained out
before the test was made, including
the gas in the carburetor and then two
measured gallons placed in the big
tank at the rear of the car. When
the run was finished and the car stop
ped it had travelled S2.4 miles This
is one of the best averages made, al
though many of the eight are averag-
ing Is and more miles to the gallon.
Word has just been received at the
Cole factory that new eight-cylinder
car climbed Indian Hill,nea Madison
willie, Cincinnati. Ohio, on high gear.
The car made the climb while being
driven from the factory to Huntingtno,
w. Va, by E. V. Carter of the latter
city. This is the first time. so far as
can be ascertained, that any car has
climbed this hill on high gear. For
fear the facts might be doubted, Mr..
Carter has made a sworn statement
before a notary vouching for its truth
which he mailed to the Cole Company
and which is now held by that con-
Germ.

A SELF.SUPP0RTING NAVY.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels again
suggests that the Government make
many of the supplies used in the navy
That would enable the Government tC
find the actual cost of producing such
supplies, and so know better what is
the right price to pay to private cor
porations for similar goods.
This would relieve Congress of the
pressure which corporations bring to
bear, favoring ever larger and larger
naval appropriations. Fat pork bar
rel contracts would be eliminated and
our Government would save millions
of dollars, says Mr. Daniels.
The Government operates the post
al system, the Panama Canal and the
Alaskan railroads with efficiency.
Why not save more millions in ac-
cordance with this suggestion?

ARE EXEMPT FROM WAR TAX
Columbia Merchants Do Not Have "a
Paw the Extra 80 Cents,

The 225 Columbia merchants whu
took out licenses recently without pay
ing war tax of 80 cents, which it was
later believed might be necessary to
make the licenses legal, are legally
exempt from that tax. This was
learned in a letter from G. E Fletch-
er, acting commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington, to John L.
Henry. recorder of deeds in Boone
County.
To obtain a license. a merchant
must present a bond signed by three
reliable persons. The question was
raised whether il would be necessary
to attach war tax stamps to this bond
In settling the matter, Mr. Fletcher
writes that mo war tax is required
upon a bond given by a public depos
itory covering funds belonging to the
government of a state. This is IL ac-
cordance with the legal principle re
ferred to in T. ID. Pill, which holds
that the sovereign states and subdi
visions thereof are constitutiOna!ly
free from taxation by the Federal Gov
ernment."
