HARD KNOCKS FOR LIQUOR.

Fhe liquor business received another
serious blow on Monday last. when, in
the most sweeping OF all decisions up
holding prohibition laws, the Supreme
Court OF the United States declared as
constitutional and valid the Webb-Ken-
yon law, which prohibits shipment OF
liquor IRON wet 10 dry" States II
also sustained West Vrginias recent
amendment 10 her law prohibiting I'M
portation IN interstate commerce OF liquor
for personal use
Having been vetoed b. President Gaii,
who held it TO be unconstitutional, and
having been repaSsed by Congress over
his veto, the law was sustained by the
Supreme Court by vote of to 2.
Leaders of the prohibition movement
declare the decision is TO their fight sec
ond only in importance TO the proposed
constitutional amendment Lawyers for
liquor interests who heard The decision
admitted il upheld aud applied the law
"in its fullest sense"
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the
Anti Saloon League OF America, who
with Fred o. Blue, State Prohibition
Commissioner OF West Virginia. argued
the case before the court, made this state
ment:
1.-The States may now prohibit The pos
session, receipt sale and use OF intoxi-
eating liquor and not be hampered by
the agencies OF interstate commerce "
Chief Justice White announced the ma
iority opinion, from which Justices
Holmes and Vandevanter disSented
Justice McReynolds. while agreeing with
the majority decision, did not concur in
the opinion. THE attracting power
OF government over liquor is settled"
said the Chief Justice in announcing the
decision. There was no intention OF
Congress 10 forbid individual use OF
liquor. The purpose OF this act was 10
cut out by the roots the practice OF per-
hitting violation OF State liquor laws.
We can have no doubt that Congress has
complete authority. Congress exerted a
power to coordinate the national with
the State authority"
Hon. Fred o. Blue has issued state
ment in which he declares that the pro-
hibition laws of West Virginia will now
be enforced more stringently than ever.
For two years and a half this State has
been restrained by reason OF the pending
suits and the questions involved therein"
the statement says. From this time on
more vigorous efforts will be made than
have ever been made in this State before,
and it is nov fairly and Squarely put up
to the Legislature to enact such laws as
will FULLY carry into effect the wishes OF
the people aSeXpreSsed in the ratification
OF the prohibition amendment in 1912
This decision will mark change in the
legislature OF all States. No longer can
the Legislature of any State refuse TO
legislate upon the ground that such legiS-
lauon may involve Federal objections.

greatest victory ever gained in the courts
for the cause OF temperance was the de-

LESSON NO. -.
TRANSMISSION (Continncd) .

In our previous talk on the trans
mission. We saw that the purpose OF
the transmission was 10 give a lever
age to the engine for hill climbing and
FOR starting. and also to give means
for allowing the engine to revolvr
faster than the rear wheels when the
car speed IL so slow that the engine,
which has minimum speed. would
stall II II were not given this In
cieascd speed.
We also saw how the transmission
gears gave their leverage and in
creased speed. and learned that we had
to have number OF speeds and lev
erages to take care OF tho various
conditions OF driving. and the various
grades OF hills We will now see how
the sets or trains ~ gears. which will
give these variations In speed and
leverage. are combined. and how Ia,
driver can chose the train OF gears
which he requires.
Figure |, shows the transmission as
far as It was developed In tho last
article. As you will remember the
gear 4 is connected to the clutch an.
so to the engine. while the shaft "a.
TO which the gear J Is attached, is
connected to the propeller shat On
The car and so to the rear wheels
The left hand end OF the shaft \ can
rcvolve inside OF the gear Il. II not

end of the shaft

which then drives J. As J IN ,uh.
uccted to the rear wheels (thru pro-
uellor shaft. etc., the rear wheels are
thus driven.
Let US assume that the Dimensions
and leverage OF tho gear as shown are
correct for low speed and maximum
ll-clmhinr. We will therefore nave
to add a set OF genrs for medium nlls
which will have IA lessor leverage. but
which will permit the engine TO te-
volVe slower In comparison to the
speed OF the car.
You will note that the greater IN
diameter the gear J Is in compansuii

II is In comparison to H. the greutsr
will be the leverage of the engine and
the greater its speed. To have IL
lesser leverage therefore we can make
J smaller and T. larger. or we can
put another but smaller gear than !
on the shaft \. and another but larger
rear than T. on the shaft Q, and have
these new gears mesh.
Let US therefore slide the gear j Que

gears as above. We will then get
what is shown In figure .
AS the shaft \ cannot reVolve at
two speeds at the same time, some
arrangement must be made TO slide

Ing third set of gears. Gears how.

in third speed most of the time It
would be an advantage to have this
third speed without driving thru n
train OF gears.

AMMETER TEST SURE WAY
OF CHECKING UP GENERATOR
Expert Advises Reading ut Regular
Intervals TO Insure Life OF
Battery.

There Is only one way, according
10 Mr., Blank. the Willard expert,
knowing whether the generator of an
automobile is holding up its end, and
that is by making ammeter tests.
'Ammeter readings at regular in
tervals," says Mr.. Blank, ARE almost
as important in the care of the bat
terry as hydrometer readings. once
at least the motorist should check up
his generator and battery with tho
Rmmeter TO be sure that tho genera
tor Is returning to the battery as
much power as the battery is putting
forth for cranking, lighting and for
ignition.
Test Is simple Matter.
This Ia simpe matter; first, with
the car standing still, all the lights
should he turned on and an ammeter
reading taken The hand OF the dial
Will lead TO the left hand, or dis
charge side of the dial Then, with
tile engine running at the speed II
would with the machine moving at
about fifteen miles an hour, or with
the machine running at that speed
and all the lights oNtinguished. another
reading should be taken. In this case
the hand will be inclined toward tho
right hand or charging side OF the
dial The rest Is merely matter Of
comparing the two readings.
If the generator is 'on the Job,
the second OF charge. reading will he
equal To or up to so per cent In ex-
cess OF the first discharge reading.
Since the battery has to supply power
for cr9nking, IL Is advisable to have
the rate OF charge In excess of the
discharge rate when the lights are
burning.
should Have an Ammctcr.
"'rherc are somo electrically
equipped m<'hlnes on the market
which have not an ammeter 1rcN
havo instead small instrument
which shows only whether the battery
Is discharging and the generator
charging.
with such an apparatus MS this no
comparative tests can be made. and
in this respect II Is weak. The mo-
torlst should have an ammeter. II
his car is not already equipped with
one, he can purchase ono for as small |
IA price as sS.5O and 50.
Troubles In the electrical system |
are always hard TO locate. and II for /
no other purposes, the car should be
equipped with an ammcter Just TO To- /
cnte troubles. Tho car owner can 1
readily see that with the positive |
check that 1t gives of both units OF
the system, the battery and the gem
Grating equipment tho isolation or
any trouble is simply matter OF
elimination"

The sturdy quality, the splendid value,
the proven dependability and durability
of the present models will be continued.
Studebaker daily sales continue to
show that the public is quick to recognize,
and always to give its support to an honest,
we'll made product, the value and service
of which have been proven in actual per.
formance.
Their power, their easy riding fea.
lures, their freedom from trouble have
made Studcbaker cars leaders in every
part of the country where automobiles
are subjected to the hardest use.
The most recent proof of their dura.
bility is tie performance of two Stude-
baker cars taken directly from dealers
stock on the trip of the San Francisco Ad
Club to the recent St. Louis convention.
Both these Studebaker cars came over
the snow filled passes of the Rocky noun
tains, through seas of hub deep gumbo
mud on the Western Plains and finished
in perfect running condition.
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-07-01

Further evidence of Studebaker de-
pendability is shown by the popularity of
Studebaker cars in California, where
people test and prove their cars by con-
tinuous service every day in the year and
where there are more Studebakers regis
tered than any car selling at over $500.
In Detroit where 809o of all cars
are made, where thousands of people are
directly connected with the industry,
where they know the materials and work.
manship that 60 into cars and the organ.
izations behind them there are more
Studebakers registered than any other
car selling at over $500.
The foregoing is proof that people
who know cars from service rendered and
people best equipped to judge automobile
values prefer Studebakers.
There could be no better guide than
this for you in purchasing your car.
More than 100000 Studebaker car,
in every part of the world have made
good in the hands of their owners-as
yours will make good for you.
