Year and Day For Sweezer.
Bowling Green, KY, Jan. IL
The jury in the case of George Swee-
Ter, farmer, of Huntsville, Butler
county, charged with whipping Jim
Ray, negro. of Rochester, on No
vember Z, 1914, brought in a ver-
dict finding him guilty and fixing
his punishment at one year and a
day in the penitentiary.
This is the second conviction in
alleged "possum hunters" of Butler
county, the other one being Pres c.
Jenkins. who was given four years
and day at the April term, 1915,
for the whipping of the Webster
family.
1t is understood four We're for ac-
quittal, while some were for the full
extent of the law-fifteen years.

GOOD BALANCE PRIME FACTOR
IN MOTOR CAR DESIGN;
MAKES sTUDEBAKER HOLD TO
THE ROAD.

In reviewing the progress that has
been made in automobile designing the
results secured by engineers in the di-
rection of proper balance deserve a big
share of attention.
When the motor car industry was in
its earlier stages, not much considera-
ton was paid to the problem of good
balance. There was often a difference
of many hundred pounds between the
amount of weight that was carried
by the rear and front wheels. Auto
mobile engineers generally wer of an
opinion that it was impossible to get
cars to the point where the front and
rear constructions would be practically
evenly balanced.
By reason of the long study and ex-
perimenting, Studebaker engineers
have developed Studebaker cars to the
point where the present day models
show almost perfect balance. Speci-
fically, there is only so pounds differ
ence in the weight that is carried by
the front and rear wheels. Consider
ing the weight of the cars, that is al
most a negligible amount.
The reason why good balance was
sought and secured was to give the
car safety on the open road at high
speeds by preventing it from bounc-
ing and swaying about. Then, too, 1t
was appreciated that even balance of
the front and real construction would
prevent uneven wear on the tires, and
would reduce tire expenses.
In the earlier days only the heaviest
of cars could be depended upon to hold
the roads at fast speeds. Weighing S.
900 pounds or more, their mere avoir-
dupois was responsible for their steady
riding. By reason of good balance
Studebaker engineers have adopted
lighter, stronger and better steels in
their product and at the same time
have secured far better reliability
than the bulky machines of days gone
by boosted of.
Lighter weight has been secured in
the present Studebaker models, but its
advantages would be lost were it not
for the factor of good balance that

Doey, a ships carpenter, was found
today huddled in a corner of the hold
of the freighter Normandie, off Tomp-
kinsville, where he had made his last
stand against the rats.
When the hatch was opened the
gray beasts swarmed upon the deck
and the rescue squad had to stop to
beat them off before Doey's body could
be removed.
At dusk Wednesday he had fallen
down a hatchway. His leg was brok-
en- and he dragged himself to a corner
of the hold, where the gray host could
asail him only from in front. The
rats were victors in the fight.
