Will you please explain the meaning
Of a floating axe7 Is it correct to say
the floating axle carries the housing to
the full end of the hub at its outer
point?
A floating axle is a live drive axle
in which the driving element Is entire
ly distinct from the load supporting
element and in which the drive axle
carries none of the weight Of the car.
A floating axle may or may not have
its tube extending through the wheel
hub. The bearings must be outside
the axle housing and are usually in
line with the center of the wheel hub.

What supplies are necessary to equip
and start a good country garage, and
what sizes of tires should one carryT
This can be answered only In a gen
eral way. In brief, gasoline, oil, repair
sundries, a small line of accessories
and supplies and a stock Of tools and
standard motorcar hardware should be
carried. Owners will expect to be able
to buy nearly everything for the car In
a public garage and will usually de-
mand the advertised article. The most
popular sizes of tires are 30 by 315,
"a by 4 and SO by 4, of which a full
supply should be on hand. The usual
plan with small garages is to watch
the needs of the regular customers
and when their tires show signs OF
wearing out order new ones of the re-
quired size. Wire for ignition should
be bought by the reel and should In
clude high tension cable, copper pri-
mary wire and twisted lighting wire.
One reel of each is enough at time.
There will be no economy in buying
large stock. Local conditions are the
best guide to stock selection.

Will you please explain the difference
in selective, progressive and planetary
transmissions?
The selective and progressive types
of gearsets belong to the sliding gear
group and differ In that the changing
of gears in one case must be always IN
regular order, as indicated by the term
progressive. This means that In the
progressive type of sliding gear trans
mission to reach a given gear from
neutral all of the gears intermediate
must first be passed through. In the
selective type, however, from neutral
any gear may be reached direct or Sc
lectively, as the term indicated.
The planetary gear set consists OF
gear pinion and an internally toothed
gear ring, between which and mesh
ing with the teeth of which planetary
or revolving gear pinions are placed.
These pinions are secured to a ring
which is fitted with a brake drum.
Similar adjacent drums are connected

FORMER MISHAWAKAN

forces overseas as a piper, has writ
ten the News-Times from Yves.
Sanding camp, Kent, England. He
has been in the service about IS
months having left here TO join the
Canadian regiment In relation to
the war situation he says:
II suppose all you will care 70
hear Of is the war and how and
when il will end Well, so far as the
how" goes, there can be only one
opinion and that opinion is decid-
eddy predominant over here. that We
are on the winning side As TO
when it will end, this country seems
20 me 20 be a mass of conflicting
opinions.
Some predict a prolonged war
others that it will be over this year
yet, or early next year. From what
I can gather myself, 1 don't think
that Germany can see America come
in. in the spring, with all her re-
sources, without calling loudly for
peace. The decision undoubtedly
lies on the western front; and the

PRESIDENT MAY TAKE
OVER NATIONS COAL

Washington, Aug. 19.-Indications
that the Government is preparing to
take control of the coal industry
strengthened yesterday when Presi-
dent Wilson paid a visit to the Fed
eral Trade Commission and went over
with it's members estimates of coal
production costs and recommended
tions for dealing with the situation
completed by the commission Friday
night after months of investigation.
Definite action to reduce prices to
the consumer and to bring about a
better distribution, it was learned
after the conference, will be taken
early next week.
Before going to the Trade Commits
sion, the President called on Herbert
! c.. Hoover, named to administer the
Food act, in which are provisions for
control of coal, and later he went to
see Attorney General Gregory.
He also called at the offices OF
Judge Robert 3. Lovett, of the War
Industries Board, who, it is expected
will be given powers vested in the
| Executive in a recent law governing
priority of railroad shipments.

Commissioned Officers of
Co. D to Remain at Fort

Captain Herbert Wilcox, First Lieu
tenant Stuart Cheney, and Second
Lieutenant Earl Lang, commissioned
officers of the former First Vermont
Regiment who have been detailed to
remain at Fort Ethan Allen While the
bulk of the Vermonters have been
split up into four groups and will be
sent to points unknown.
What portion of the boys of Com
pany D will remain and what num-
Der will be sent with other commands
is not known. But the sweeping or
ders received from the War Depart
ment would indicate that but few of
the men will be left with the officers,
the majority of them being placed
with the outgoing divisions
While the mn have received the Or
ders for departure with pleasure, the
ve-taking is certain to be tinged
with sorrow. The local telephone
Ind telegraph offices have been be-
legged with messages to relatives here
rom the boys at the fort, notifying
hem of the expected departure. The
uncertainty of the final disposition OF
he Company ID members, as regards
| eho will accompany the outgoing ex-
edition and who will remain, has led
| more or less confusion. To be or
| he safe side the boys have notified
| heir relatives wherever possible il
hopes that farewells might be said il
| hey were among those to go.
