The purpose Of universal joint Is
to deliver power from one shaft to
another when out Of line or at q
varying angle. The forward end Is
fastened to the spline shaft In the gear
box and the rear end to the propeller
shaft going to the differential and
rear axle. Some manufacturers place
another universal joint near the differ
entail. The two shafts are rarely in
line, SO some sort Of flexible coupling
Is necessary. and the present high
grade joint has been devised.
Shafts Kept Moving.
The gear box rises and falls with
the spring action, but the rear axle
follows the contour Of the road. Thus
the two shafts are continually moving
out Of line and the need Of q flexible

during which Maj. Miller had led his
battalion In the front line Of the ad.

the enemy was met in prepared po-
sition south Of Gesnes. Though al
most exhausted, he energetically re-
organized his battalion and ordered
an attack. Upon reaching open
ground, the advancing line began to
waver In the face of machine gun fire
from the front and fianks and direct
artillery fire. Personally leading his
command group forward between his
front line companies, Maj. Miller in
spired his men by his personal cour-
age and they again pressed on toward
the hostile position. As this officer
led the renewed attack he was shot
in the right leg. but he nevertheless
staggered forward at the head OF his
command. Soon afterward he was
again shot in the right arm. but he
continued the charge. personally cheer
