The motorhOrn is, at heart, lawiess

Trouble often occurs when shifting

cases the difficulty can be traced to
such cause as shown in the accom-.

The part at A illustrates the manner
in which grit and dust may readily
work their way inside the gear case.

NEW YORKER IS INDIGNANT

He Describes.

In the latent bulletin of the Munich
pal Art society, c.. w. S. Is justtfably
bitter in his comment on the waste of
opportunity in the so-called city parks
of New York when is a city park
not q park?" he asks, and answers
"When it ceases to offer either grass,
flowers, or the shade of trees; when,
for instance, 1t has large granite ba-
sin or fountain without water, which
is gradually broken up and carried
away; when, at one end 1t harbors
a ship and at the other bombproof
caIrn for explosives; when one-third
of it is roughly fenced off for a few
years while the subway burrows its
slow course within yard of the grass
surface, destroying for the time the
plantation and preventing for all time
the growth of shade trees over it, and
when this subway seizes more of its
precious space for entrances; when
the few surviving trees, uncared for
in recent years, are left to die limb
by limb and break down gradually,
and their place is filled by no new
shade trees; and when, in consequence,
such forlorn patch of barren ground
and concrete as this has become stands
year after year through the hot sum-
mers neglected, dusty, and shadeless;
