worn throwout collar. When you push down the clutch pedal, the clutch does not entirely disengage and this drag ging stops the engine. The hissing that you note is due to the facing rubbing against the fiywheel. Install a new throwout collar and you will have no further trouble, I am sure.
 Ralph DePalma: I have a brand new car and yet I notice all the time that the brake pedal keeps jumping up and down, though am not touching 1t. Whats the trouble, and have l got a claim against the agent that sold me the car?-B. N. Rogers.
 You do not mention the make of your car, but this movement of the brake pedal is characteristic of cars that em- ploy Hotchkiss drive. It simply means that the action of the rear axle is transmitted through the brake connec- tions to the pedal There is probably nothing wrong, but you might ask your agent about it.
 Ralph DePalma My front tires have been showing what consider undue wear. Could the heat of the engine soften the front tires and cause them to wear? I notice they are hot after a run.--Frank Ruggles.
 I do not think the engine could pos sibly soften your tires so as to in- jure them. Any tire heats in running to certain extent I think you will find that your front wheels are out of alignment. Try this and if you can't do the work yourself, get the garage or service station to do it.

much alive and find a place on all mod ern passenger cars. Live axles must be divided into three more or less dis tinct classes, known respectively as full floating, semi-floating and three quarter floating Later on it will be necessary further to divide these types into some seven subdivisions, accord ing to the gearing used to transmit the power to the wheels.
 Live ankles of all the types consist of two hollow tubes, projecting from ball or oblong, wherein is contained the differential unit, which consists of q number of gears, which will be touched upon later. From the differ ential unit extend two shafts, running through the hollow tubes before men, toned The wheels are attached to the ends of these shafts, which are tech nicaily known as drive shafts. The names floating. semi-floating and three-quarters floating are derived shafts by the work they are called upon to perform
 In the full floating type the shaft &C., tually does in a sense float. It does not support any of the weight of the vehicle, simply being called upon to drive the wheel and to take a certain amount of torsional stress. In this type or axle the wheel bearing IS outside the axle tube, the load being support ed directly by the tube. With this construction it is possible to take out the shafts without removing the wheel, as there is only flexible connection between shaft and wheel.
 SEMI-FLOATING AXLE
 The sem!-floating axle has the wheel bearings inside the tube, which means that the shafts cannot be removed without disturbing the wheels. Further, the shafts of the semi-floating axle ara called upon to carry part of the ra dial load as well as to absorb tcrsional stresses.
 The three-quarter floating axle has the wheel bearing outside the tube, but rigid connection is made between the end of the shaft and the wheel The three-Huagter type is called upon to support part of the load and also to take torsiona1 strains, so that in it's functions it more nearly resembles the semi floating than the floating axle.
 All these three axle types have cer- tam definite advantages, as is evidenced by the fact that all of them are usei

FORM OF TAXING MOTOR CAR OWNER
 Congress Undecided Upon Matter, But Horsepower Basis Suggested

Washington August 17.-What final form of taxing the motor car owner will be decided upon by Congress it is not possible as yet to predict. All rev enue measures originate in the House of Representative and then go to the Senate, which may disagree radically with the Housess interpretation of the situation. Then the measures passed by the two branches go to the confer ees.
 President David Jameson of the American Automobile association re- gently presented to the two committee the case of the car owner in communi- cations to Chairman kitchin of the House ways and means committee ard to Chairman Simmons of the Senate fiua nee committee. MT. Jameson com- mented upon to the fact that the mo-

The Rear AxLe-Hs
 Construction and Care

Among the most vitally important of the mechanical units of the modern mo- tor car, the rear axle certainly de- serves a place In point of service the rear axle is the last unit in the power line, it's function is to receive the power as 1t comes back through the transmission and propeller shaft and transmit it to the rear wheels, which drive the car. In addition it has pas sive part to play in supporting a part of the car and it's load. Further, the designer in laying out rear axle de- sign must take into account the shocks winch 1t is certain to be called upon to endure in travel over all sorts and conditions of roads. So taken all in all, the rear axle has upout as stren- uous part to play as could well he assigned to any self-respecting piece of machinery.
 It is an unfortunate fact that most car owners know little about the rear axle of the car they happen to be dr1v- ing and care less. Some of them put in lubricant at the stipulated times and let it go at that. Others do not even give the part that much consider ation. And yet any owner who has ever suffered from a tenacious case of rear axle trouble, knows that it IS nothing to court. Unless the motorist devotes a little attention to learning something about the rear axle and the care that it may be expected to need, he is certain to have trouble not long delayed.
 AXLE TROUBLE DECREASES
 Fortunately, the rear axles of the present day are generally well designed and constructed. Axle trouble is not as frequent as it used to be; if the owner will heed some few suggestions, it will be less frequent still.
 Rear axles fall readily into two broad classes, known respectively as live and dead. The dead axle is one which does not turn, but simply acts as a load support and holds the wheels in place. Vehicles driven by double chains have dead rear aXles the wheels turning on the axles. Chain drive has passed out of passenger car practice, so the dea d axle is not very important for present consideration, though it is still used on motor trucks.
 Qn the other hand live axles are very

HEARD ABOUT AUTOMOBILES HERE AND THERE

tor!st now receives extensive taxation attention from the several states, re- fcrred to the certainty that any i'm nest on new cars would be passed along to the consumer, and contended that any charge on the original cost of used cars would be manifestly unjust. Mr. Jameson asserted that it would be as fair to tax coal as gasoline, since both are fueY producing quantities.
 Several days after the filing or MT. Jame sons Communications, the House committee announced that it had de- ci1ed to base the federal tax on cars in use on horse power oasls instead of on the original cost.

be wise to call in the assistance of an expert to determine the causes of trounic and apply the remedies The whole diff. ferential unit will have to be moved to left or right to get the driving pinio.i and ring gear into correct mesh. The differential unit is provided with col lars, the loosening of which permits .he entire unit to be moved. But the job of aiigning the parts is for the expert, who had better be the service station of the particular car in question
 SUPPORTS NEED FABRICATION
 In rear axles having oscilating spring supports in the rear, these supports need fabrication at varying intervals. They turn on the axle tubes and lacking Iunri- cant, will emit an unpleasant squeakirg.
 While they are not used today in pas senger car work, the worm and internal drive types are interesting. The latter embodies what is really two axles, tha one dead and the other live. The vince \ arc fitted with internal gears, turneI T. shS live axle. The dead axle merely supports the load. The worm gear typs simply substituted a worm gear and worm wheel for the bevel commonly u.ed il. passenger car construction. The worEl being quiet in operation, it is extremely sturdy and permits wide variations of gear reduction.
 Taken all in all the rear axles of odr present day cars are remarkably efficient. The compla ints that we hear in regar l to them are generally induced by the owners neglect and carelessness. If the man who takes care of his own vehicle will heed our suggestions, give the
