Origin of Heraldry.

According to the highest authori-
ties, heraldry finds its starting point in
the totemism of prehistoric times. In
the barbaric custom Of painting or carv-
Ing the totem on oars. the bows and
sides of canoes, weapons, pillars in
front of houses, etc, and in tattooing
1t on the various parts of the body we
have the real origin of the insignia
that are so precious to the upper ten
dom of today 1t was in the ignorant
superstition of the savage that he
sprang from crane or bear or some
other animal that the various coats
of arms" of the big families" of the
present time found their inception

REAL SERVICE GIVEN
 BY FRANKLIN CARS
Universal Auto Go. lnSpects All
 Machines Monthly

Service is something that every au- tomohi1e suyer expects. It is some thing to which he is entitled and has a right to demand but does not always realize. Service builds up business In no line of endeavor is this more to the point than in the sale of autonN,- piles where the trade is sharp. Be- cause a certain dealer or firm actual ly gives the purchaser service is often the deciding factor in the sale of a car. It need hardly be remarked here that various impositions are repre- sented as service. Good service is to be had in Hartford. It is being given every day in the week by the best dealers here, who make it a point to look over their customers. Conspicu- ous for the quality of service that is given the customer is the Universal Auto company, distributors of the air cooled Franklin.
 This concern has represented the Franklin a little over a year. In this lime it has raised the car from ob- scurity and put it where it belongs, at the top of the list, in the front row in the estimation of the automobile buying public. The Franklin car has been a success in this city under the regime of the Universal Auto company. The ere are at least three reasons for this. First of all it is a, good car, all that 1t Is claimed to be. The direct air-cooling system works perfectly. The organization back of the car is conscientious. From tht outset the Universal Auto company has eXtend- ed to Franklin owners a liberal service proposition.
 Once a month every Franklin car is thoroughly inspected. No detail is overlooked. As a result there is def mite knowledge of the condition of every Franklin car. The so-called Uni versal Auto company, guarantee -ac- Companies every Fraklin car sold by the local agents.
 The Hartford distributors guar antee that the car will not cost the purchasers anything for repairs for one year. This does not, of course, license the owner to abuse the car. This place has now been in operation for over a year. It has4swoFked out we'll The Franklin owners are a satisfied aggregation. They receive the service they expect and pay for.
 The Universal Auto company is well situa~ed to give good service. There is a full f1edged repair shop and a corps of trained men who have been Identified with the automobile indus try from its beginning. The business of the new season has started off re- markedly well. There is every indi,

many sizes and shapes. The manu- facturers specialize in worm drive trucks.
 Axles are truthfully said to be the most important part of any truck, especially the rear axle. The rear axles on the Federal 1 1-2 ton and 3 1-2 ton worm drive models J. M, and l. are of the famous Timkon David Brown worm type. The worm and worm gear form one of the oldest known power transmitting devices. The worm gear drive rear axle used is ab- solutely direct. It stays quiet throughout it's entire life, and it lives longer than any other form of drive, retaining it's full efficiency through out it's entire existence. It gives a smooth, uniform drive, With a wider range of ratios without change of housing, than any other form of drive.

RECORD SHIPMENTS
 OF OVERLAND CARS
High Water Mark Reached on Janu- ary 31 When 722 Machines Left
 Company's Factory.

When the last freight train pulled out of the big Overland yards on Jan 31 it was found that a new shipping Willys- Overland company. Exactly during the day.
 This is not only the high water mark for the big Toledo factory, but is said to be @ record never before equalled by any other manufacturer of medium or high priced cars.
 In the height of the spring selling season a days shipment of 722 cars would be considered a remarkable performance even in this time of tre- mendous productions. But when that number of automobiles is shipped out to purchasers in the dead of winter, with half the country buried in snow, it is nothing short of phenomenal.
 In January, 1915, the total number of cars that left the factory amount ed to 4,613, while during the month to 12393 The increase was even greater during the earlier months of the 1916 season as compared to the corresponding months of the pre- vious year.
 A year ago the daily shipments 1 from the Overland factory averaged l 15O cars, or less than one-fourth of l it's present output. In one year the 1 company has increased the manufac- ] turing facilities so that it is now pos sib1e to build 1000 machines every | twenty-four hours.

SPECIAL MIXTURE
 NEEDED IN EGYPT
Unusual Conditions in That C0un-
 try Makes Motoring Difficult

According to articles published in the Egyptian Gazette and reprinted in '"The Automobile, the climate is an important factor to be taken into con- sideration in connection with the mar ket for automobiles in Egypt, carbure- ton, fabrication and cooling being af- fected by the atmospheric conditions.
 Facilities for long distance touring
 being lacking in the country, the type
 of vehicle most in demand is that
 best suited for town traffic work.
 Higher. mileage per gallon of fuel
 may be obtained than in other coun-
 tries due to the higher temperature
 and greater humidity the latter con-
 d1tlon frequently receiving inadequate
 attention in determining carburetor
 adjustments. It has been noted that
 in large percentage of the cars inn
 ported it has been necessary to cut
 down the fuel supply to a considerable extent before satisfactory working re- suits were obtainable, marked ecOn- omy accompanying this change. This weakening of the mixture, however, frequently causes trouble with radia-
 tlon due to the same climatic condi- ! tions which make the carburetor ad- justment necessary. a..
 Essentials of Carburetion.
 The essentials of a perfect carbure- ter for use in Egypt are: It must de- liver a fairly rich mixture with the control lever set at the nearly shut position to insure easy starting; the strength of the mixture should be I maintained during the process of get ting under way and as this progresses l gradually weal1ens, until the weakest ! possible mixture, on which the engine ! will put well at 20 to 25 m. p.h is be- 1 ing delivered, at which point the con- | trol lever and throttle should be about 1 half through their distance of travel 1 It is stated that it is impossible to se- 1 cure these results from the original 1 carbureter owing to the use of auto
 matic control of the air supply which prevents attaining the exact condi- tions required. Mechanical control of l the air supply in proportion to the 1 fuel supply is therefore necessary. Use Of Oil.
 Since engine temperatures in Egypt
 are far higher than in the countries where the principal motor oils are made and tested, an oil that gives per-

Of parts, the power, the sturdy, last ing qualities, the @flexibility and long record of successful performance of the worm drive, are all much in it's favor.
 On the 1-2 ton worm drive models the final drive is by triple universal jointed propeller shaft, from trans mission to worm geared rear axle. The construction. of these propeller shafts is such that danger of whip ping when coasting is eliminated.

feet results in other countries quickly becomes far too thin, With the re- suit that abnormal quantities must be used and even then such thin oil docs not coat the cylinder walls sufficiently to give perfect compression. Hence it gets past the rings and is burned, giving an unnecessary carbon deposit with resultant loss of power. The obvious remedy is to use a far heavier grade of oil and by so doing to in crease compression with a correspond ing increase of efficiency and economy and the considerable abatement of smoke and carbon. The same applies to gearbox and differential greases which soon. become little better than oil, after little running.
 Protection Against Sand.
 Special attention must be paid to the efficient protection of all working parts against the sandy dust which prevails. Universal joints should be covered and frequently examined and an especially we'll fitting undershield to the engine should be insisted upon as should that type of spring shackIe which is drilled for fabrication and fitted with a screw down grease cup
 As regards springs the usual stand ard types do not seem to be a suc- cess and a very long and light sus- pension com bined with shock absorb CTS seems to give the best result
