as now designed, the wheels must still
be some inches from the center of
the pivot. but by setting the wheels
at slight angle to the vertical. the
bottom of the wheels (the point where
hey touch the grounds) can be
brought almost under the center of
the pivot, which would give the same
effect as having the pivot actually in
the wheels. The wheels are generally
set, therefore, so as to "toe-in" at the
bottom, as shown in an exaggerated
form in Figure 2. When this is done
the wheels are said to be "under-
gathered"
Foregather.
Undergathering the wheels results
in q tendency Of the wheels to wedge
out in the front. so that the front OF
the wheels would be farther apart
than the rear portion of them. This
would result in the tires, in addition
to rolling on the road. sliding to some
extent causing their quick wear. AS
this wedging- out action cannot be
overcome, designers have decided to
let them wedge out, but to set them
so that the front of the wheels are
a little closer together than the rear,
when the car is idle, and so, when
running, the wheels will wedge out,
but TO the proper position. This Is
called foregathering the wheels. In
most cars the "foregather' is about
one-quarter (A) of an inch; which
means that the rims at the front Of
the wheels are about one-quarter inch
closer to one another than they are
in the rear This is determined by the
setting of the tie-rod &C in Figure 81.
AS the tires will wear quickly II

cause of the required foregather (dif-
ferent for different cars) II would be
well, when work requiring the set
ting OF the tie-rod is necessary, to
have It done by the mechanics of the
car makers service stations, who
should know the proper amount of
foregather required.

AUTO LESSON NO. 81.
The Front Axle.

One of the hardest problems which
the earlier designers of automobiles
had TO solve was that of steering, and
thus OF the design OF the front axle.
Previous to the automobile. all We
hicles were turned by turning the en-
tire front axle, which axle was solid
and could turn or pivot at its middle,
or what was termed a fifth wheel. In
figure 1, / show this construction.
Imagine for moment that you had
such an axle on your auto, and that
while travelling at a fifteen to twenty
mile rate, one wheel fell into a small
hole or struck a small obstruction in
the road. Do you think you would be
strong enough to prevent the front
axle, the wheels of which are nearly
two and a half feet from the pivot,
from turning? Or, IL the design was
such that you could, what would hap
pen when the various parts of the
steering apparatus became worn so
that there was play" in them? l
think that because of the innumerable
irregularities OF the road, the car
would take a zig-zag course. Here,
then, is one reason why the solid and
turning type of front axle will not do.
What about steering such an axle?
What would you have to accomplish? -?
Why, you would have to push one
wheel forward a foot or two, depend
ing upon the radius of the turn, and
pull the other back this amount. This
takes power, and the steering appa-
ratus would have to be so designed
that 1t would be necessary to give
the hand wheel two or three complete
turns when going around the ordinary
curve, or 1t would require n strong
man at the wheel. Here. then, is an
other reason why the solid axle, which
turns at its middle, will not do.
You will note that the fault of the
solid axle is that the wheels are so
far away from their pivot. Obviously
then. the remedy would be TO have the
wheels brought in to the pivot, which
would be a threewheel car, or to
bring the pivot out to the wheels,
which would give us a construction
as shown in Figure 2.
The three-wheel vehicle is unstable
and will tapple over too easily to be
practical for an auto.
While constructing the front axle,
as shown in Figure 2, seems to solve
the problem, another serious prob
lem is brought into consideration by
so constructing II. When a wheel is
travelling in n circle, II must always
be tangent to the circle, but, in the
above case, because .the axle does not
turn, as does the solid axle, the wheels

MAXWELL SAVER
FOR VACAT|0NIST
Ardmore Family Visits Detroit
on Long Tour Spent Liv-
ing Close to Nature.

When summer arrives the call Of
the big outdoors revives the taint Of
the cave man In the breast of nearly
every American family.
80 There are many ways in which this
instinct for freedom of restraint from
city life Is satisfied. Vacations are
taken by thousands of persons every
summer. some persons camping in
the woods along banks of clear
streams, others going to summer re-
sorts.
Expense of the vacation is always
uppermost in the minds of the av-
erage family. Cost Of railroad tickets
and hotel bills or OF camping must be
considered by a majority of vacation
seekers.
Railroad fare has always proven to
be one Of the main items of expense
In many instances the fare has
amounted to nearly as much as the
other expenses together
Now the Maxwell automobile has
taken the field as a competitor of the
railroad for the transportation of
pleasure seekers.
Gives Longer Time.
AS a matter Of economy, the Max
we'll is far in advance of the expensive
railroad trips. In dollars and cents.
the difference Is greatly on the side
Of the motor car.
Entire families may take long va
cations for Just what railroad tickets
cost IL a Maxwell car is used.
Besides the pleasure OF whirling
along cool country lanes and the joys
Of camp life at night the life outdoors
is beneficial to one. IL the vacation
seeker prefers the comforts of hotel
at night the Maxwell Will carry him
to such stopping place.
Another phase of motoring during
vacation is the greater length of
time one may have on the same
amount of money that otherwise would
go into railroad tickets. This Is WV
Idly shown In comparing the expenses
OF recent trip taken by Mr.. Simms
and family of Ardmore, Okla, with
the cost Of railroad tickets.
Mr.. Smms and his wife motored
from Ardmore to Detroit and return.
Several side trips were also taken.
On the return journey their son
Justice Simms accompanied them.
The vacation lasted 81 days, and the
tour covered 4.24i miles.
Cheaper Than Tickets.
The total expense was s165. Every
item of costs is included In the
amount. 1t takes in all money spent
for food, fuel and hotel bills.

to Detroit 1t s30.l5 one way.

RESENTED THE TERM, "KAIsER"
An Indiana Mans Divorce Petition
Includes an Unusual Charge.

Columbus, Ind.-Whether or not, in

to apply the term kaiser" to her hus-
band is a question that John w.

tody of the children. Cruel treatment
Is alleged.
Schinnerer alleges that, September
II. his wife called him a kaiser and
added some uncomplimentary things
to the German title. He says she
refused to go to church with him and
declined to accompany him to shows.
Then, he asserts, after she had called
him n kaiser she tore up their mar
riage license, tossed the fragments on
the floor and left saying she had no
intention of returning.
