TRAFFIC SIGNS IN
 BASEBALL PRACTICE
But Base Runners Are Undecided
 Whether to "Stop'' or "Go''

New Britain is going to have 2 real baseball team very very soon. Some people have been beWailing the lack of d fast ball team since the professionals moved out of town. Now there is going to be plenty of fast ball for the New Britain policemen have essayed to make up the def1ci- ency. To see about 20 stalwart guardians of the peace practicing or rather learning baseball yesterday afternoon at Walnut Hill park was enough to bring inspiration to any poet, to cry % what men dare do! what men may do! what men daily do, not knowing what they dol"
 The policemen must be given due credit for their talent however. They swung their clubs with considerable grace and ease. They ran the bases with speed. But one of the main faults with the nine was the coach ing system. At the first and third base coaching lines Officers J. J. King and Clearance Lamphere stationed with the new traffic signs labelled GO" and Stop" When a runner reached first and the signal came to steal the traffice cop turned the sign to go and the base runner immediate ly went. But when the ball reached the second baseman before the runner reached the bag the coacher switched the sign back to stop ana the runner stood still on the base line and was usually tagged out. Due to the failure of this system Of coach ing new plan will be instituted at the next practice.
 For the individual honors of the afternoon there were many aspirants. First there were the two batteries. Sergeant Hart and Neil Gully worked we'll for the "Scrubs' and Dick Dart, Captain Porter and Tom Storey slaved for the Washers. In the outfield it is difficult to say which player was the worst. The outtielders complained that the flies bothered them and the other players declare that is true to say the least. Officer Frank Hahn drove terrific drive in the fifth, and tore around the bases till all the crowd began to howl 70, MT. Hahn you've made foul,' but Frank didn't believe them. he wouldn't believe them, and he stayed anchored on third base which he reached with great difficulty.
 The next practice of the blue coats will not be announced. It is going to be secret practice behind closed gates. This is the best plan for any police baseball team as can be readi- ly seen.

Yesterday afternoon resilient Of this city came into the Herald office with a clipping which was taken from a. Stamford paper The article showed that one Leon F. Nafey has enlisted in the military after being reflected twice for minor physical dis abilities The young man, who is the son of George H. Natey of Stamford was born and spent his boyhood in New Britain although having lived in the former city for several years.
 It is a known fact that large number of local boys oered their ser vices in other cities and that their enlistments were not accredited as coming from New Britain. This is only another example which adds to the above statement. Through the campaign which the Herald is wasing such disclosures are made daily. In- cidentally the returns bring back memories of boys who were almost

forgotten but were once we'll known here.
 Nafey is member of the 2oth com pany, hospital corps, U. $. A., sta toned at Columbus barracks. Iio is only nineteen years of age, was re- jected twice when he attempted to join the army for physical reasons Determined to serve his country he tried again, meeting with success on the third attempt.
 MT. and Mrs. Nafey are proud to have a boy in the army and still more proud to have one who showed so much perseverance in his efforts to be 6 soldier.
 Blanks are steadily pouring in and if the same amount of enthusiasm which has been heretofore manifested continues, the "honor roll' will be completed shortly.
 If you have a son or kinsman in any branch of the service fill out one of the above blanks. Either bring it personally or send it in to the editor of the Herald.

 Chicago, Aug 8.-Practically all of the governors of sixteen states from Pennsylvania to Kansas, had respond ed faVorably today to an invitation extended yesterday by the Illinois Council of Defense, to attend a con- ference in Chicago on August 16 for the purpose of bringing about a uni form regulation of the price of coal.
 While the State Council of Defense recommended to Governor Lowden seizure of coal mines in Illinois for the period of the war as means of reducing prices, the hope was ex- pressed that the states of the central west will join in urging congress to enact 8 law that will confer full pow CTS of control over coal prices and distribution in an administrative body of the federal government which would have machinery to give instant relief.
 Coal mine owners do not dispute the right of the state to seize the mines," said Herbert H. Taylor, of the Taylor Coal company and mem- Der of the operators committee meet ing with the council. We claim, however, that the council had not as- certained conditions in the coal in dustry and it's recommendations are not thorough enough"

AUTO LESSON NO. -.
The DlffcrCntill.

II we were to study the history OF
the automobile we would find that
automobiles were built and expert
mcnted with from $50 10 three hun
drcd years ago, and that there was a
period Of about 100 years when prac-
tically nothing was done In developing
IT, During this time. however. the 10
comOtiVe and trolley ear were brought
10 perfection.
The early automobiles were failures
mostly because the problem OF turn
ing the car could not be overcome
satisfactorily. II finally being taken
care Of hy putting the automobile on
tracks. the result being the locomotive
and later the trolley
IL IS for this reason that the writer
regards the steering knucklc and
mechanism 10y which the turning ana
steering are taken care OF, as regards
the front wheels, and the diffcrcntial
which takes care of this as regards
the rear wheels, the most important
inventions in the development OF the
auto.
Let us see what the turning prob
lens. as regards the rear wheels, are
when "a vehicle travels I'm "a circle.
the outer wheels will travel on Il
larger circle than will the inner. and
viii therefore have To travel farther I'm
outer wheels must travel faster than
the Inner.
As I'm the auto, the rear wheels are
both driven, and so both connected to
the single propeller shaft, the above
is one Of the problems 10 he taken care
Of On a wagon or other drawn We
hlcle the rear wheels are independent
so that this problem does not come to
wagon designersD
The driving power OF the engine
must be eNcrted equally on both rear
wheels. as II there Is more pressure on
one wheel than on the other the car
will swing toward the side OF the
wheel having the greatest pressure
eNtcrted on in: or II would skid. II
YOU will place a book on table and

exert more pressure on one corner
than on the other. YOU will get an
excellent demonstration OF the above
action

ding with which we are familiar. is
due 10 the reverse OF the above When
the brakes hold more on one wheel
than on the other. the wheel which IL
held the most will try To get behind
the center OF the weight Of the car.
and Sn cause the car to slew away
from this wheel

FOURTH YEAR ARRIVES
FOR CADILLAC EIGHTS
Principle introduced by Com
pany Further Refined
and Developed.

Adhering TO the eight cylinder
V-type high-speed. high efficiency
principle, which 1t first introduced,
and which has characterized it's
product for the last three years. the
Cadillac Motor Car company an
nounces that its new model incorpor-
ates further rofnements of that prin-
ciple. The company now enters upon
its fourth years production of eight
cylinder cars, OF which IL has already
built $4,000.
The original characteristics OF the
Cadillac eight are retained. b. they
have been refined and advanced in de-
tail. the result of greater knowledge
and broader experience. 1t has long
been the policy of the Cadillac COM
pany to adopt a principle or "A type
only after the most exhaustive eX-
perimentation has proven to Cadillac
engineers that the principle Is correct
and worthy OF adoption. Thereafter
1t is developed year by year to the
highest possible point OF efficiency.
The new model is to be nkown as
type ST. 1t comprises ten body
styles and the Cadillac company be-
licVes that in these II has summed up
motoring preferences so far as this
is possible with standard line. The
body types are seven passenger tour
ing, four-p passenger phaetOn; roadster;
town limousine. town landaulet;
brougham. completely enclosed and
practically a convertible car; convert
lbe victoria limousine; imperial
limousine, and laudaulet.
From the mechanical standpoint,
perhaps the most important change
Is the use OF detachable cylinder heads.
These are secured to the cylinder
blocks by twenty nuts each, and are
made gas and water tight by special
coppcr-asbestos gaskets. The de-
tachable heads make for greater ac-
curacy in manufacture without sacri-
ficing the compactness. lightness and
rigidity OF the former construction.
They permit easy access to valves and
pistons without removing the cylinder
blocks, and greatly facilitate the re-
moval of carbon deposits.
A feature of the new cars which 1t
IL felt will be particularly appre-
ciated, is the device for tilting the
headlight reflectors. This device
eliminates glare from the eyes of on
coming motorists, by lowering the
direction OF light. 1t is operated by
the driver by means of small lever
attached to the steering post. Where
as ordinary devices dim the light.
the Cadillac innovation complies with
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-08-26

the law by eliminating the glare: yet
utilizes all the light and directs it
down on the road where ii Is most
needed when meeting other vehicles.
An automatic raising device for the
top, an exclusive feature OF the type
80 phaeton, Is row Incorporated on all
the open-b body models of type 81 sc
rics. Powerful springs, located In the
main bow sockets, take the LOAD after
the tolded top has been lifted a few
inches, and automatically open the
top to its full extent. Top materitl
on all open cars is black Pantasote.
with the side quarters lined, covering
the extension bow sockets and Joints.
The windshield Is set at an angle Of
six degrees.
Cold weather efficiency Is increased
by the provision of shutters inside the
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1917-08-26

louvres of the hood. which are slanted
at n sx-degree angle, to conform to
the line of the windshield. Closing
the shutters in winter shuts off the
circulation thru the louvrcs, and re-
tains more OF the motors under the
hood. Ar angle piece is provided
whereby the space between the hood
and the hood shelf can he closed in
winter, still further restricting the
sweep OF cold air over the motor.
The transmission Of the new car Is
of the selectiye sliding gear type. as
formerly, but Of refined design, MAX
Ing II smaller more compact and
lighter. Gears are shifted with even
greater ease. II that is possible.
Changes which are apparent in ex-
terror design include a raising OF the
radiator and hood. The latter Is also
