%> NE of the latest notable perform trucks was that performed by the truck recently purchased by the engineering branch of the commission of state institutions. This is a one-ton truck, and is equipped with pneumatic tires.
 Allen Nickcrson of the engineering branch took the truck to Agua Caliente on it's maiden trip to bring back a sur veying party, and upon arriving there found that the party's machines were all broken down. no other means of transportation being available it was decided to try and bring the entire party comprising a truck. a touring car. and seven men together with all the camp equipment back with the one-ton Denby.
 The equipment was loaded on the truck. and the two machines were fastened in tow, the members of the party riding in the lowed machines the party leaving Agua Caliente at about noon, about % miles were made That afternoon. over what are general ly conceded to be the worst roads in Arizona.
 The journey was continued the next morning reaching Phoenix the same afternoon. All were unanimous in say ing that tho performance of the truck was little short of wonderful.
 lt was found when the load was weighed that the truck had carried all told a load of ninety-five hundred pounds, a seemingly impossible feat fol ono-ton truck.

STUDEBAKER TRANSMISSION
 BEST KNOWN TO ENGINEERS

fected with a total absence of the usual clashing of gears. The new Studebaker clutch brake still further aids toward this end, automatically checking the speed of the clutch when the latter is released.
 The transmission is supported by a sub b-frame,-a feature new to Ameri- can practice and used only on one or two of the highest priced cars,-which also carries the rear of the motor. By this arrangement the benefits of unit power plant rigidity are obtained without the additional cost, weight and inaccessibility of bell housing and with added flexibility, gained from the flexible couplings.
 And these flexible disks of sea is land cotton mean much to the suc- cesful operation of the cars mechan- ism.
 A minor unit of construction, to be sure. but contributing in no small measure to the success of the new Studebaker and to the comfort both mental and physical, of the owner These flexible couplings are com posed of two large fibre disks. They take the place of a universal joint and smooth out the power impulses of the motor. These disks are built up from six layers of the highest | quality of sea island duck, rubber ized, and laid in staggered construc- ton for greater strength. Beside: providing a flexible member between motor and transmission, taking care of any misallignment between these parts, the Thermoid Hardy couplinE acts a cushion, preventing the reson- ance usual to these parts when they are built as a unit with the motol with a bell housing.

He successfully served as purchasing agent for the Ford com pany in the early days, and later with EMF and Studebaker. He left Studebaker six years ago and be- came identified with the Maxwell Mo- tor company, later resigning to go with Buick whose employ he leaves to resume his old associations with Studebaker.

In designing the three new series 19 Studebaker cars, Studebaker engineers were not bound down to any hard and fast rules. No ones pet theory was allowed to dominate the plans for the various units of the new cars. Every one, however, including some of the best and ablest engineering talent in America, was required to set down, as if he were to design a car for his own personal use, specifications for consideration in working out the plans for the series 19 Studebakers. As a result of these deliberations, and months of tireless work over drafting boards plans were evolved that rep resented the best that engineers know Experimental models were then built and put on road and speed way for the famous Stakeholder 10000 mile endurance test-the most rigid test known to automobile history.
 The intermediate1y located trans mission of the new Studebaker. cars stands out, perhaps, as one of the most conspicuous examples of the great care and thought given the construction of each unit of the new Studebaker cars. It is located just back of the clutch and is connected with the clutch by means of a double Thermoid- Hardy flexible coupling.
 Adjusted to Wear
 There are four Timken bearings in the Studebaker transmission and each bearing has the splendid mechanical advantage of being adjustable to wear And, instead of the four jawed or dog coupling ordinarily used, the second speed gear is cut with internal teeth which act as a clutch, engaging with the main drive pinion when in high gear. The result of this unique con- struction means that there is never any difficulty in shifting into high and easy, quiet gear changing is ef-

ILLUSTRATES HOVV
 AUTOS BEAT TRAINS

An example proving that automo- piles for passenger transportation can profitably compete with the railroads, is cited by the Kissel Auto company of Phoenix.
 Since 1911. company has operated four Kisselkars out of Val ley Ranch, New Mexico, for trans porting passengers to and from dis tant resorts and scenic points. It operates the cars on a strictly busi- ness basis. The cost of the car. drivers wages. it's up-keep, includ- ing gasoline, oil and tire expense. as well as depreciation, are charged up against the original cost of the car To this is added a net profit of 20 per cent and when the cars cease to produce this income, they are imme- diately sold.
 "The cars must average 20 miles per gallon of gasoline. This is possi- ble because the country is flat and the roads wide, allowing drivers to pass other cars at full speed. thus doing away with the constant shifting of gears that is common in the east. where traffic conditions are more congested or roads narrower on ac- count of high realty values.
 Built for Wide Turns
 'The New Mexico roads are also built to give passengers a wider turning radius. so that it is not nec- essary to go out of high gear from the time one leaves until arriving at destination. which as a rule is any where from 75 to 100 miles.
 1 Tt is interesting to note that this company's passenger rates are figured on the number of miles and not hours, which is directly opposite tc the basis figured on in the east Some trips may be 15O miles. fol which may be charged only $25.00 while other trips may be 50 miles for which 5000 is charged The reason is that the former may be over smooth, level, straight roads while the latter may be over rougt mountain grades, which are very nar- row and consequently dangerous

SLIPPING CLUTCH

When the clutch starts to slip, many drivers make the mistake of racing the engine in the expectation that the car will move faster. The proper way to handle the slipping clutch is to operate the engine slowly with little change of speed, in the hope that the flywheel will catch and carry the clutch around. Racing the engine makes matters worse, for the clutch gets no chance to hold and there IS the chance that it may be burned out altogether

LOVE FOR DOGS

The eternal love of man for dog
almost a worlds tradition-has yet to
fail to respond to test, no matter
how severe. Repeatedly, there are cas-
es where human beings have actually
sacrificed their lives to save dumb
animals from death and. though not
comparable to this, the story of the
escape from the Knox county dog
pound of an unfortunate canine and
the determination of the people to
whom he wandered to purchase for
him the necessary dog license par
takes of the same spirit of love and
protection.
There is pathos in this tale, A stray,
homeless canine, apparently without
friends save among the children of the
Elmwood school, was by action of the
trustees OF the school ordered turned
over to the sheriff. No one was there
to rush to his defense; to pay the
necessary license tax. The dog, shut
up made his escape and sought out
former friends among the children and
now the older relatives of these
friends are going to guarantee unto
this dog his natural life on earth.
There is nobility in this action; true
compassion. Would only that every
well.behaved. even though homeless
dog, might find such a haven, such a
company of friends and thus avoid an
unnatural, an untimely end which the
due course of the law renders neces.
