continually growing. We have reached
that most satisfactory point. In any
manufacturer's career, where we find
more orders for cars than we can fill,
under existing conditions.
There are really only two serious
factors which might imperial our flu
ture and those are general business
depression due to the war and an In
adequate material market. However.
we have no fear OF the business de-
preston. We know that such "a con
dition will not exist as long as com
potent men guide the destinies OF our
nation. As tn the material market,
we would not even hint that we are

Have you ever watched safe movers
move heavy safe by the use of IL
crowbar? What they do is shown in
Fig. /. Here the point A is the
ground. If the distance is ten times
as great as the distance c, man
by exerting a pressure of 100 pounds
az d can exert "A pressure of 1,0OU
pounds at f.
Let us now assume that A Is tho
center and f the circumference OF
the propeller shaft of the automo-
bile. and that d is on the circumrer-
ence of gear b fastened to this
shaft as shown in Fig. 2. If it takes
pressure of 1000 pounds on the
circumference of the shaft at + u

then by driving the gear Il, by the
gear f, and making the engine Of
such a size. that pressure of lou
pounds is exerted by the gear + on
the gear b, the car will be driven up
this steepest grade.
The room for the transmission of
the automobile Is necessarily limited,
and il the single gear, as shown
were used. 1t would take up more
room than can be allowed for it. SO
the designer must look about for
some way of using gears which will
take up less room, and yet give the
required leverage. The natural solu-
ton is to have sets of gears, one set,
say, to give leverage Of 3, the other
OF 1-3, giving total leverage or
3 Ia times 3. or 10.
Let us, therefore. make the gear
E smaller in diameter, say only 3 8
times that of the shaft Il. Then let
us convert f into a gear, and then
let us convert f into gear, and then
let us move the shaft connected to

engine a leverage for hill climbing
and for starting. an arrangement
must also be made which will permit
the engine to revolve many times
faster than the rear wheels. This Is
not only true when starting the car,
but also In traffic. as there are times
when the car must move at so slow a
speed. that the rear wheels Will make
but three or four revolutions IN n
minute, a speed far too slow for the
engine.
Fortunately. Il gear. In addition 10
giving u leverage. will also give a
change in speed. BY referring to
Fig. l, you will note that for one inch
of movement of the point h there
must be ten inches of movement OF
the point ID From this you can see
how the gear p, Fig. 3, II II were the
same diameter as the shaft II would
have to make ten revolutions to one
for II.
While This speed ratio is good in
traffic and for starting. II will not do
for the average car-speeds, and as
the car * travelling at this average
speed. for about 80 per cent OF the
time. It will not do for 80 per Gem
of the time. So one set of gears as
shown viii not be enough. and there
must be additional sets in the n ans
mission. one for the level runnms,
one for steep hills and generally still
another for medium hills:-or in orner
words. a first speed, of high leverage.
and great engine speed: second n
a lesser leverage and lesscr engine
speed. and a third for the level run
ming These sets OF gears must also
be arranged so that the operator can
choose the one which he desires to
use.
How these different sets OF gears
are combined. and how the driving of
the car backward is accomplished
will be explained In the next lesson.

Have you ever watched men push
Ing an auto, or wagon, about? 1t
may require the full strength OF three
men to start IL moving, but as soon
as II Is in motion one man will let go,
and when the car has some speed the
second man will let go and the third
will be able TO keep the car in mo-
tion with comparatively little effort.
Thus n more powerful engine will be
necessary for starting the car than
for keeping 1t going.
So we find that a much greater
turning power is required from the
engine when the car Is elm bing n
hill or when 1t is being started into
motion.
The car must be able to ascend
hills and start into motion. but 80 per
cent of the time 1t is travelling on the
level This means that II the engine
is built large enough to climb the
hills for 90 per cent of the time an
excess weight OF engine will have to
be carried, with the extra cost of fuel,
etc, which would result therefrom.
A good designer will try to find
some way of using the smaller en-
giue and adding some device which
will enable the engine to also take
care of the hill climbing and starting
into motion. Placing a set of levers
between the engine and the rear
wheels will accomplish this As a
system, or train or gears, is a system
of levers. the problem will be solved
by placing sets of gears between the
engine and rear wheels, or. in other
words, having the power of the en-
gine transmitted to the rear wheels
by them. Thus we have the trans
mission.
Let us see how the gears act as
lovers

For this purpose an engine of GER
tain bore and turning power and
which will give a certain minimum
speed will suit
When the car Is ascending hill
the engine will have to overcome the
friction and wind resistance as be-
fore, but. aixo. 1t will have to lift the
car from the lower to the higher
level. So an engine of much larger
turning power and. therefore, bore
will be necessary than for running on
the level

LESSON NO. 4S.
The Purposes and Principle OF the
Transmission,

When the designer of an automo-
bile has to decide upon the size of
the engine he must consider what the
engine must do. Let us briefly look
into this.
When the car Is driven along n
level road the engine must overcome
the friction OF the bearings In the
car and the resistance OF the wind.

WILSON FLAYS T'HE
FOOD OPPONENTS
Demands That Public Be Protected
Against the Designs of the
Spectators.

Washington, June 19.-President
Wilson is determined to carry his
points in the food measure now up
for consideration and discussion.
He has warned opponents of the
measure that they must be respon-
sible if the much-needed legisla-
ton goes down in defeat In state
men, just issued the president says:
"A certain disservice has been
done the measure by speaking of il
as the food control bill. The OBJ
troll the food Of the country, but
to release it from the control Of
spectators and other persons who
will seek to make inordinate profits
out of it, and to protect the people
against the eXtortions which would
result.
at seems to me that those who
oppose the measure ought very ser
iously to consider whether they
are not playing into the hands of
such persons and whether they are
not making themselves responsible,
should they succeed, for the ordi-
nary and oppressive price of food in
the United States. Foodstuifs will,
of course, inevitably be high, but
it is possible, by perfectly legiti-
mate means, to keep them from be
ing unreasonably and opprcssiyely
high"
The fight on the measure is de-
veloping much interest and this
morning it became evident that an
attempt may be made in the sen
ate to invoke the cloturc if debate
threatens its delay.
