TO ABOLISH GEARS
Magnetic Transmission Pre-
ferred to Old Mechanism.
MAGNET TO CONTROL SPEED
Just as Necessary That New Form Be
Learned as 1t Was Gear-and- Clutch
Should Be Understood--It Is
FrictionIess.

Drivers of motor cars are still I'M
decided as to whether the new mag
netic transmission" is preferable to
the old gear mechanism. In an article
in the Illustrated World (ChicagO),
Walter Lee asserts that when there is
any trouble it is because the driver
has not taken the pains to learn how
to manage the new form of transmits
sion. This requires to be learned just
as the gear-and-clutch transmission
had to be learned.
The magnetic transmission is fric-
tionless and noiseleSs even when
changing gears. Mr.. Lee describes it
as follows:
1.-THE best way of describing the
magnetic transmission is to begin with
what we all understandable little
horseshoe magnet, and a piece Of
steel. The magnet is mounted on
stand so that it will turn freely, and
q crank handle is attached to the
curved end with which to revolve II.
The piece of steel is mounted on an
other stand, so it will be supported be-
tween the two ends of the magnet,
without, however, touching it at any
point.
When Magnet is ReVoIved.
"Then, when the magnet is revolved
by means of the crank handle it is
seen that the piece of steel will turn

WHAT'S THE REASONP
Many Morrisville People in Poor
Health Without Knowing
the Cause

There are scores of people who drag
ont miserable existence without resliz-
ing the cause of their suffering. Day
after day they are racked with backache
and headace; suffer from nervousness,
dizziness, weakness, languor and depres-
sion. Perhaps the kidneys have fallen
behind In their work of filtering the blood
and that may be the root of the trouble.
Look to your kidneys. assist them in
their work-give them the help they
need. You can use no more highly rec
commended remedy than Doan's Kidney
Pills, endorsed by people all over the
country and by yours neighbors in Nor
risville.
b. D. Bickford, chief engineer, Olive
ST., Morrisville, says:-'I suffered from
lumbago so badly that l couldn't stoop
over. The kidney secretions were off
color and caused me quite bit of mis-
cry. 1 have used Doan's Kidney Pills for
the past two years for this trouble and
they have always given me wonderful re-
lief. 1 always keep a supply of this
medicine in the house."

Nu.a New reeo
Gray Whale Still Lives.

Half a century ago the gray whale,
known on the West coast as the devil
fish, appeared there in numbers every
year, coming so close inshore that the
Indians often killed the great sea crea-
lures from their canoes. Later the
whales changed their route, and trav-
eled far out to sea, but there whalers
found them and the whales won their
name of devilfish by the courage and
strength they showed In destroying the
boats of the harpooners. Finally they
disappeared, and were believed extinct
until 1912, when Roy Chapman An
drews, a naturalist of the American
Museum of Natural History discovered
that the gray whale is still abundant

Invention of Doors,

Who invented the door no one
knows. 1t is, however an invention Of
comparatively modern times. All the
ancient houses, even the houses con-
tanning doorways, had no doors. Fab.
RIGS or skins of animals were hung
across the doorways to keep out the
elements. In the great Roman Coli.
scum there is but one door-that Is
the door behind which lay the lions
that ate the gladiators. From this
and other similar uses it is believed
that doors to houses probably first
came into use as a means of defense.

ter. This will take the spots out. By
no means use gasoline on it or the
rubber interlining which protects you
from the rain will be thoroughly de-
stroyed.
After the top has been cleaned next
wash the body. Here the hose plays
the principal part. Use a gentle
stream, one that washes the dirt off,
but does not drive it into the varnish.
After all the dirt is off, and not be-
fore, dry the car well with chamois
skin. If you are going to use a body
polish, defer its application until af-
ter you have finished the other parts
Of the car.
Cleaning Windows.
The isinglass windows in the side
curtains, which are so dull and dirty
looking can be cleaned with a vine
gar and water solution of about a cup
of vinegar to a pint of water. 1t is
wise to clean these, not only for ap-
pearances' sake, but also for the rea-
son that your safety may depend on
being able to see through them. Any
of them which are broken should be
replaced without delay.

CARE IN TIGHTENING BOLTS
In Working on Cylinders 1t is Best
to Tighten One Nut at a Time I'm
til All Are Secure.

Care should be exercised when
Tightening any part of a car that is
held in place by two or more bolts,
such as the cylinders. 1t is well to
tighten only one nut at a time, giving
each one turn or two until they are
frightened securely. In boiling down
a Hanged cylinder, for instance, by
tightening one side all the way and
then the other side, the strain might
prove great enough to break the ilange
Off the opposite side, more especially
if the 1ange is not machined perfect
ly entirely around the cylinder.

ing College on Invitation of
Archbishop keane.

Thomas Tang is one of the most
popular students at Dubuque College,
He is Chinese young man who came
to this country about year ago, on
the invitation of Archbishop Keane.
The purpose of this invitation was
to help provide the Catholic body in
China with representatives of our
faith, who as laymen, educated in this
country, could render signal service to
the new Republic or the Orient and to
the Church. It is hoped that other
Catholic Colleges will follow this
splendid example of Dubuque.
Thomas Tang's desire to accept
Archbishop Keane's invitation was
learned through The Field Afar, the
voice of Maryknoll, our young Ameri-
can Foreign Mission Seminary.
Invited to visit Maryknoll this sum-
mer, Thomas wrote to the Superior:
81 am in possession of your letter
which, after careful consideration of
the contents, gives me favorable i'm
pressions with the proposal you make
me-" This reply, as the Maryknoll
Superior remarks, seems to indicate

requires that you behave in strange
home. II you are not able to regard
America as your home, at least behave
so that nobody can accuse you of VIC
lation OF common decency.
Follrth-This is a free country. But
freedom goes not so far as to tolerate
anarchy. Obey, therefore, all the laws
of this country, or else you will clash
with organized society and it will be
you who shall be the loser.
Fifth-Keep in mind that so long as
you are in this free country no one
has the right to dictate to you on be
half Of any old authority across the

the American constitution and by the

Very Rev. T. w. Smith, O. M. L., Pro-
vincial of the Oblate Fathers, Offering
the services of those under his charge,
to serve as Chaplains in the Army
and Navy, as they may be needed !!
feel it my duty to mention in connec-
ton with this matter the fact that the
members of this community have been
very jealous in their care of the SOL
diers along the Mexican border; when
ever the regular Army Chaplains have
had occasion to communicate with me,
they have mentioned with high praise
the work of the Oblate Fathers.
l beg leave also to bring to your
attention the fact that Very Rev.
Raymond Meagher, O. P. Provincial of

offered the services of his Community
to serve in any capacity, in which they
maybe most helpful.

stitutions in order to be able with
clear conscience to participate in all
and every benefit resulting from your
abode under the Stars and Stripes.
Seventh-Try hard to acquire the
customs and the language of this coun-
try lest you remain a speckled bird
and stranger all the time.
Eighth-If you have your citizenship
papers, which you ought to have Il
there is no legal obstacle, you have
renowned allegiance to your former
sovereign and you owe loyalty only to-,
the American flag.> From subject you
free man.
Ninth-As you honor your father
and your mother, you shall alike honor
the land which has adopted you, or
which, at least, has become haven
OF refuge for you when you were COM
PEELED by foreign oppression to leave
your native soil. Whosoever acts to
the contrary shall be guilty of gross
ingratitude. s
Tenth-Fighting for America, you
are fighting for your own freedom.
Never forget this basic truth. Without
sacrifices there is no liberty. How can
you expect a brighter future for your
self, for your brothers or kin in the
old country, if you are not willing to
make at least some sacrifice for this
country?
There are plenty of native Ameri-
cans who will profit by study of the
foregoing. They may serve to tighten
the patriotic belt, brace the shoulders,
and bride the tongues of many the
drooing apostles of the policies of
drift chance and altruism that are
