MODERN MOTOR JAR TRANSMISSION, ITS
 MAKEUP AND CARE

There has been considerable argu- mcnt from time to time as to which mechanical unit in the modern motor Gar chassis is the most backward, the Most lacking in consistent develop mcnt There may be different opinions on The subject, but no commentator could deny the transmission a fore most place in the company of unde- fables.
 The engineers themselves acknowl- cdse that the transmission of today while it serves its purpose fairly we'll ls at best a stop-gap, filling a vital need until We can get something better. One of the most distinguished auto mobile engineers in America once called Che conventional transmission bar harous engineering" The present types ot gearset lack the simplicity of opera tion that should characterize really ef- icctive mechanical units. That is to say, they perform the object for which they arc Installed, but they accomplish it with a tremendous expenditure of effort in proportion to their accom- plshment.
 The function of the transmission or rcarset is 10 change the tractive effort at the rear wheels in proportion to the needs of operation. It is by means Of the transmission that the rear wheels are induced to run slowly while the engine Is running fast. etc. This control Of the tractive effort is accom- nlishod through the meshing of differ cnt sets of gears, which are contained in an appropriate cover or housing. In operation the lower is generated in the engine passes back through the clutch, which delivers it to a shaft, which is part Of the transmission unit. This shaft cmhodies certain number of gears which may be sifted into or out Of mesh with other gears mounted on what is known as a countershaft. These gears have varying numbers of teeth. which condition produces the changes in tractive effort which it is the gearset's business in life to supply
 This Is an outline description of the modern sliding selective, transmisson, which was first introduced by Pan hard & Lavassor in the early days of the automobile era and which in spite of it's obvious shortcomings has never been supplanted and is the type in general use today. Of course the gear set Of the present is far refined over tho crude creations of the early days, but its fundamental crudity is still there.
 While the sliding selective gearset, as described, is the predominant type in the field, there are other forms of transmission in use. There is the planetary gearset, which is used in the Ford car, and consequently on the score of mere numbers is an important factor in the situation The friction vearset. once popular is not used to- iay. and the magnetic transmission is used on but few high-priced vehicles because of it's costliness.

HIGHWAY TRAVEL
 INCREASES 50 PCT.

Highways travel by means of the passenger automobile has increased during the present summer fully 50 per cent, according to figures which have been compiled by the national road bureaus of the A. A. A. The in- creasing number of road journeys has resulted from over crowded trains and the difficulty of assured accommoda- tions and conveniences except to a comparatively limited number of tra- velers. While a percentage of the road trips have had to do with vacation periods, a preponderating quantity has related to commercial necessities and a consequent saving in time obtained by uninterrupted door door trips.
 Director General of Railroads Nc Adoo has just issued a statement in re- gard to railroad travel, calling upon the public generally to use passenger train service at the lowest possible minimum. Mir. McAdoo thus presents the case: Among the many patriotic duties of the American public at this time is the duty to refrain from travel ing unnecessarily. Every man, woman, and chilG who can avoid using passen- ger trains at this time should do so. I earnestly hope that they will do so."
 Chairman Carl G. Fisher of the A.

field we find the constant mesh selec- tive gearset in considerable use, but this type has not made any headway in the passenger car field. If we add to this the direct connected transmission as used in the steamer we have com pleted the list. The reader will note that of the types mentioned only the conventional sliding selective and the planetary as used in the Ford are em- ployed in modern automobile design.
 It is rather remarkable that the one type of transmission that may lay claim to really satisfactory simplicity of operation, the friction set. has passed out of use altogether. The fric- tion set consists of two discs at right angles to each other. One of these is driven by the engine and is usually of copper, while the other is of some sort of fibre composition across the frame and connected with the driving wheels by means of chains. In operation this driven disc is brought into contact with the driving disc and the rate of speed is determined by it's distance from the center of the latter. The fail ure of the friction transmission was due primarily to inability to stand up to heavy work. It was early discarded for heavy duty and has now passed on

TRUCK AND TRACTOR
 DOMINATE THE FIELD

The tractor and the truck dominate the field of motor industry tocay. Trucks spell transportation, tractors spell food. Motor trucks transported the American fighters who stopped the Hun at the Marne, the tractor tanks will do much to drive him back across the Rhine.
 The motor truck is the most potent link between the farm, made produc- tive by the tractor, and the consumer of farm products. In small towns espe- cially, the same dealer would be the logical handler of both machines, inas- much as both are being sold to farm CTS in increasing measure. The gov- ernment< has found tractors, for in- stance, profitable on farms as small as 100 acres This indicates an immediate available market for at least 1,500, ,000 tractors, and probably as many motor trucks.

mower at the draw bar going 2:1S miles per hour," said E. R. Hubbard. of the Goldman Implement company.
 'aThe Moline is rated at nine horse power on draw bar and 1S horSepo~s- on belt. Certainly these tests snow pe yond question of doubt Just how con servative is teh rating.
 This is of great importance since surplus power in a tractor means long fife and little trouble. An auto ordi- narily uses only about 20 to 25 per ccni of it's power, whereas, a tractor i3 called on for so to 100 per cent of its rated nower. The average man ex- nects to use the full rated power. and hence can be seen the necessity of d tractor having surplus power beyond it's rating"

A. A. Touring Board, makes this com ment upon MT. McAdoo's plea: With rail lines congested by essential freight haulage, it certainly is the duty Of everyone to cut down his use of this utility, and, of course, the only an- swer is the highways and. the self pro- pelled vehicle, which now can show arew its ability to abridge distances and quickly transport people from one place to another in the necessary tram saction of their daily duties.
 Tn the west it is the expected thing for the average passenger car owner to employ his vehicle in practically all of his town -to-town journeys, whether they be within the state or into an ad- joining commonwealth. The situation has demonstrated unequivocally the great need in every state of a state plan of state built and state -main-

OVERALLS FOR WOMEN
ARE OFFICIALLY APPROVED

Bloomington, Ind, Aug. r. Overalls
;)r women workers have been off
cially approved by the city council
which held special session to pass
upon the propriety of the use of these
rments by women
This is the home of a large furni-
lure factory. When the army called
many men workers to the colors, wo-
men took their places. The state fac
tory law prohibits the wearing of loose
clothing near machinery and overalls
were adopted by women workers
Their appearance on the streets 60
ing to and from their work caused a
protest to be filed with the city coun-
Gil by the women leaders of reform
organization The protest was pub
lished.
It was answered by mothers of work
ing girls who held that the overails
were more modest than the prevailing
styles in women's dress to be seen
on the streets of this college town.
The male employees of the factory
-ajlied to the cause of the overall
girls" and the general superintend-
ent issued an open letter approving of
overalls for women.
Finally Mayor Weaver called the
special session of the council. 1t
was attended by womer workers and
society women. After much discus
sion the overalls were officially ap-
proved.

agents aided by local officials under
the direction of Internal Revenue
Commissioner Roper.
The raids resulted in the seizure

moonshiners, the killing OF five out
laws and two deputy sheriffs and the
wounding of number Of other govern
ment men and liquor makers.
The campaign has been under way

were taken. Twentyy-one thousand
pounds of sugar was confiscated, the
most of it given to the Red Cross.
