SHIFTED GEARS
 SAVE CAR FROM
 SERIOUS HARM
To Climb Hill on High Gear Imposes Hard Work On
 All Moving Parts


 cousin to the scorcher and both are bound to become wiser as time goes on. asserts Thomas J. McCaul, local automobile dealer.
 Continuing, MT. McCaul says
 q fully understand that the mod ern automobile isfmade to climb al most anything but trees. But l wish to demonstrate that to climb a steep hill on the high gear imposes the hardest kind of work not only on the engine but on every other part of the car. The low gear ratios are pro vided for hill climbing and they should be used for it.
 "It may be well here to consider little more carefully the amount of work performed by an automobile climbing gradient on say, a gear ratio of three to one. A ratio of three 10 one means that one revolu- tion of the rear wheels is produced by three revolutions of the engine shaft. With the lower gear ratios, the intermediate and the low, the number of engine revolutions become still greater as compared with the | number of road wheel revolutions. "It is not difficult to compute with | exactness the distance which a car is propelled by one explosion of the engine cylinder and the power con. | sumed in hill climbing. The circum- | ference of a 32 inch wheel is approx | +oI,r one mile the wheel revolves 633 | times. With the motor turning over ! three times as fast as the road wheels it will require 1899 revolu | tons of the gear shaft to propel the car one mile. Thus if such a car should proceed at the rate of thirty
 miles per hour approximately $50 engine revolutions per minute are re 1 quired. With two power strokes at every revolution there are 1900 revo- lutions per mile and each explosion propels the car one foot and four and half inches.
 'This estimate assumes that the car be propelled over level ground
 To climb a hill simply means that grade resistance is added to the various frictional and other stresses
 An automobile weighing 1000 pounds climbing a hill 200 feet high (meas ured vertically simply performs the 1 task of overcoming the action of gravity or lifting, and the calcula i, tion of the power required to do this must involve the factors from which ! the horsepower unit is derived. To lift 2000 pounds 200 feet high in one minute is the same thing as lifting 200 by 200 equals 4000 900 pounds one foot high in one minute. Theo- retically then the lifting of 2,000 pounds 200 feet high requires 10000 divided by 33.000 equals 12.12 horse power. and the losses through fric- 1 ton, air resistance. etc., consumes the remainder of the theoretical horsepower output.
 Prom all of this it must become apparent that rushing up steep hill in the high gear must subject any car to enormous stresses which are likely to affect the life and ser
 vice of the car to d considerable degree. Gear shifting is not a cum bersome task and the mounting of
 gradients will not be attended by
 harm if the gears are put to the use
 for which thew were intended by the automobile designer"

Veteran ToOlmaker
Dies This Morning
Peter L. Biercke Dies at Chicago Hos
pital Following an Operation
This Morning.

Peter L. Bjercke, aged sc years, a
veteran tool maker in the employ of
the Wells Machine company, died just
after nine o'clock this morning at the
Burnside hospital in Chicago following
an operation for gall stones. The de-
ceased had been in failing health for
some time and the operation was TN
dertaken as last resort. He was un-
able to rally from the first effects of
the ordeal.
Peter Biercke was born in. Norway
and had lived the earlier part of his
life in that country. He came to Amer
lea nearly thirty years ago and after
living one year in Colorado had coma
to Kenosha. For twenty-seven years
he had been an employee Of the Frank
L. Wells company and had gained the
respect Of both his employers and fell
low employees. He was a skilled and
industrious workman.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and nine children, all residing in Ke-
nosha. His home was on Grand View
avenue to which the remains will be
brought probably this evening.
Definite announcement of the funeral
services will be made later.

THE POsITION OF JUDGE BELDEN

Judge Belden is not letting it be understood
that he is "from Missouri" but he does want
to be shown His judicial mind has scanned
the petitions for grand jury in Kenosha Coun-
tv and Judge Belden has seen the smoke and
now he wants to find some Of the fire which
has been heating up the public indignation in
Kenosha. 1t is the part of prudence which
might be expected from judge who is in
clined to be swayed by facts rather than by
"vague rumors." Judge Belden is not on
record as opposing the idea of calling grand
Jury Very much to the contrary. He wants
the people Of Kenosha county to have what
they want provided there is a sufficient warrant
in facts for an expenditure Of the public funds.
Judge Belden is not worrying about how much
grand jury will cost the county Of Kenosha
either He is ready to act regardless of cost
provided he has evidence to act on.
His call for evidence is the clarion call for
some one to do civic duty Six hundred and
twenty-one men and women have signed Pc
tition soemnly declaring that they believe that
conditions in Kenosha county warrant the call
ing Of grand jury. The Editor of the Even
ing News will promptly present to Judge Beld-
en- such facts as may be in his possession in
regard to conditions in Kenosha county and
along with these such suggestions of sources
of information as he may have. There is no
desire to evade the responsibility or sneak
away into corner and let some one else do the
work The News believes that it is the civic
duty of every other person whether they have
signed the petition for the grand jury or not
to come right out in the front rank and send
letter to Judge Belden telling him what kind of
evidence they can give and telling him that
they are willing to give this evidence to a
grand jury if one is called.
It is unfair for the people of Kenosha to ex-
pect Judge Belden to hold the bag or to criticise
him because-he asks evidence instead of vague
rumors. We are not inclined to think that it
will be hard to get evidence enough to convince
the Judge that the grand jury should be called
but much is going to depend upon the weight of
the evidence. The street corner orators who
have been RECALLING the crowds with whispered
gossip Of malfeasance in Office are expected to
be the first to get their letters off to the Judge
If these people fail to give their evidence vol

JUDGE BELDEN
ASKS EVIDENCE
Makes Public Petitions and Ask PeO-
pie to Give Facts for Call for a
Grand Jury for Kenosha County.

"If the situation in Kenosha shows
demand and facts sufficient to war
rant the calling of grand jury to
correct conditions in the city and coun-
ty, we will have one"
This was the statement of Judge
Belden when he came to the city this
morning, after he had taken time to
examine the petitions for grand jury
which have been reaching his desk
during the past two weeks. The petit
lions and coupons in the hands of the
judge bear the signatures of 621 Ke-
nosha people. Most of these people
have given their names and addresses
and in some cases they have sent along
with their "call for the grand jury"
informal statements to the court on
which account they insist that action
should be taken. 1t is admitted that
the number of signatures to the petit
tions was somewhat surprising. A
little over 480 of the people had signed
the petitions offered by the Kenosha
Evening News.
Judge to Ask for Evidence.
"I want the people of Kenosha to
understand that am not in any way
opposed to the calling of a grand jury"
continued Judge Belden. ain order
that may act intelligently in the mat
ter, | must, however, ask some of these
people who have signed these petitions
for something of definite nature in
regard to the conditions complained
against. In order to get any value
from grand jury, there must be some
definite evidence to present to the
grand jurors. l would be unwilling to
call grand jury and submit the coun-
ty to the expense which must naturally
follow it on vague rumors. Vague ru-
mors may indicate that someone has
evidence Of violations Of the law and
am interested in having some definite
statement of these violations presented
to me. I have said in the past that
the courts are open for the man who
violates the law. This is true of the
police officer who may assault another
man as we'll as the man who violates
the law by the sale of liquor or by
VIGOROUSLY permitting gambling and
other abuses Of the law. The petitions
which I have received state a general
feeling that Kenosha county needs
cleaning up. They do not for the most
part present direct evidence on which
a court would be warranted in acting"
Few offer Evidence.
It is admitted that some Of the petit
tions which have been submitted to
Judge Belden make specific statements
of violations of the law. Judge Belden
stated this morning that he had re-
ceived informally other statements
which would indicate lax methods in
the enforcement of laws but none of
these matters have come in the form
of affidavits and few of them in the
form of signed statements. Judge Bel
den indicated that he was Of an open
mind and willing to act just the min
ute evidence was brought to him.

|KEN0SHAN SEES
| JAPS' .JTNG0ISM
Sydney G. Maddox Now in
East Tells Of Jingoism
in japanese Empire.
IS NOW IN SHANGHAI.

Sydney G. Maddox, formerly Of Ke-
noska but now holding a high execu-
tive position for the American Interna-
tlonal Steel Corporation in China, Is
convinced that the press of Japan Is
preaching jingoism against the United
States. according to letter received
from him today by his relatives in Ke-
nosha. Mr.. Maddox and his family
left Kenosha in the summer for the
east and have spent several weeks in
several cities Of Japan while they were
enroute to Shanghai to take charge of
the business of the company there.
Their experiences in Japan and the
deductions which they made from them
form the contents Of this interesting
letter, the first one of any length to be
received from them since they sailed
from Vancouver.
Jap Press Filled With Jingoism.
"Their press is filled constantly with
anti-American propaganda" writes the
Kenoshan regarding the situation In
Japan. "From the widespread express
sion regarding the native press, it is
obvious that it is propaganda, circu-
lated from one source. The Japan Adj
vertiser, an American paper printed in
Toxic, translates and prints these edi-
torials daily.
81 have written this somewhat in
detail so you can circulate it if you
will SO that l may do something in
preparing the American mind for the
inevitable. The Jap insists on fighting
US and we will sooner or later have to
fight the Jap to protect her unfortu-
nate neighbors, which she is doing all
she can to make her slaves"
The letter explains how difficult it Is
for Americans to carry on legitimate
business in Japan. 1t declares that
international copyright laws are not
respected as the Jap can easily get
around any law by a technicality and
that the courts of the land will uphold
him.
"They openly boast Of their ability
to get out of any signed contract"
says the writer, "and declare that cir
cumstances justify the lie in business.
There is not case of suit for infringe
ment of patent or copyright laws on
record where judgment was found for
the plaintiff"
Mr.. Maddox declares that some in
dividuals Of Japan are remarkably
cultured but that most of the empire
is far behind America. He could never
become accustomed, he says, to the
oriental squalor which he saw depicted
most in the Japanese empire.
"Their country is dirty" writes Mr..
Maddox, "and the people are dirty.
They take baths. but all in one tub
and in the same water. They empty
their sewerage into an open gutter run
ming past the houses and wash their
clothes, dishes, vegetables, meats, and
feet in the same water and then take
the water for cooking"
The writer declared that he and his
family were glad when they left Japan
for Shanghai, where they will make
their home for the next two years.

unfairly they are going to be among the first
called to testify when the grand jury is called.
Tt is going to be chance for them to put up
or shut up.
The idea of Judge Belden is the idea that
must prevail when it comes to a session Of the
grand jury. Such body would not convict any
one on gossip. It will demand evidence and
evidence Of nature that will warrant the re-
turn of indictments.
The machinery of the grand jury is easy to
put in operation. Judge Belden stands ready
not only to call the grand jury but as well to
call into the court room a special prosecutor
to look after the interest of the state and see
to it that the examination made by the jurors
is thorough and far reaching.
The question Of the grand jury is up to the
people Six hundred and twenty-one Of them
have asked the judge to act and it is certain
that some of these men and women knew just
what they were talking about. 1t must be that
a large majority of them were not just follow
ing the "tumult and the shouting.
1.-THE tumult and the shouting dies" but the
men and women who are really interested in
the future of Kenosha county will now come
boldly to the front and let it be understood that
they have the courage of their convictions and
that they are ready to back up their sigma
lures with the courage to tell just what they
know for themselves and just where a grand
jury can get other evidence. The battle for
the cleanup is just beginning. The call is
now for moral courage to back up movement
which has been started. The moral courage
is going to be the operating power for this
movement. If it is yours, hurry and get it to
working for the betterment of Kenosha

Unemployed Ask

Mayor John G. Joachim found that
some Kenosha men were out of work
this morning when a half a dozen men
recently laid of appealed to him to
help them And jobs. They intimated
that there were a lot of other men
who would like to have the kindly
services Of the head executive of the
city. II told them that l had no en-
ployment office at my disposal" said
the mayor. 1t is probable that a con-
siderable number of men will be out
of work in Kenosha but there is lit
tie reason to believe that the city can
inaugurate any improvement work at
this time Of the year to keep these
men employed.
