AuT0ISTS MUST
Have 4 RECEIPT

Every automobile in Wayne county
should be equipped with a 1920 auto
license plate. If you haven't a license
you must have a receipt showing your
good intentions to comply with the
law While the police Of Richmond
or any other city, have no power to
grant permission to anyone to vio-
late the law, the head of the local
police department has given assur-
ance that if by possession of receipt
you have shown good faith in your at.
tempt to get a license, you will not
be molested by the police.
Must Have License.
Superintendent German stated to-
day that already more than 100000
license Hlates have been issued by the
state department but that the office
was now swamped with demands for
licenses and the work is necessarily
slowed up. However. everyone can
have his receipt showing that he has
paid for his license and this will save
him from arrest until the license
plates arrive.
Another matter to which the police
Of the city call the attention Of the
public is the necessity of all chauf-
feurs to secure licenses. The local
police declare that maiy persons must
take out a chauffeur's license, hereto
fore did not believe 1t was required
of them.

Elmer Smith.

The Cleveland Indians have no Babe
Ruth, but the fact that the Yanks
grabbed off the Babe isn't causing any
weeping among the Speakerites. For
one Elmer Smith, while not possessing
the enviable record of Ruth, is one of
the best little game wreckers in the
Dig show.
Smithie collected nine home runs
last season and when it is pointed out
that only three men outside of Ruth
collected more, it can be seen Elmer
ranked we'll up in that department.
| And think, if the records were avail
| able, you'd find out that every one Of
! those homers put ball game on ice.
Elmer Smith was born in Sandusky,
| o. When he was about two years old
his folks moved to Milan, O., giving
Thomas Edison his greatest rival for
| fame in that village. Elmer starred on
| school baseball teams and then, when
he began work in potato digger con-
Germ he played amateur ball about
Milan. In 1912 Kalamazoo decided to
give him a trial in the outfield, but
Smith failed to impress Manager
Charley Wagner.
The next spring Darby O'Brien
signed Smith to play wit hDuluth and
Smith went so good with the Duluth
team that Cleveland bought him
August IA. He was farmed out to the
Toledo club the rest of that season and
sent to the Waterbury club the next
spring. He batted 1924 for Lee Fohl,
then managing the team for Charlie
Somers, and Cleveland hauled him
back to prevent the Feds from flirting
with him. He was sent to Toledo again
until few days before the season
closed. Smith was traded to Wash.
ington in 1916 for the southpaw
pitcher Joe Boehling-who proceeded
to warm the bench-not even earning
the oil he put on his glove. Cleveland
later purchased Smith back again for
$4,000.
When the war arrived Smith enlist
ed and saw service in France.

EARLHAM RUNS AWAY
FROM BUTLER QUlNT

Displaying a brand of basketball
usually reserved for out-of-town games
the Earlham team won a one-sided
victory from the Butler quintet in the
coliseum Friday night, 81 to ~, and
thereby demonstrated to local fans
why state critics are enthusiastic over
Coach Moves basket machine.
The team that represented Earlham
last night was in complete variance
with the team that disastrously play
ed Rose Poly two weeks ago. A better
exhibition of basket shooting is sell
dom witnessed. The passing and team
work were of the highest order, al
though flashes of individual playing
demonstrated just what each player
could accomplish individually.
The score does not really tell the
difference in the strength or the
teams. Had Coach Move left the flrst
team in play, the Quakers would
have run up much greater score.
Last nights victory marked the first
/ c. A L. victory scored by Earlham
this season. A victory over Rose Poly
at Terre Haute next Friday night
might give Earlham a clear title to
place in the l. c. A. L. and

does not upset the dope-wiH give
Earlham a claim for state and l. Z.

Hall was the star performer of the
evening, caging seven field goals and
playing a good game on the defensive.
Herb Carey also played good game.
Short, the smallest player on the
Butler quintet, proved the main point
getter, annexing IA. His shots were
all from angles. Davies, substituted
for Rosenthiel, made two field goals
during his 10 minutes OF play.

ton, will be very quick, and will re-
suit in the thinning and SO weakening
of the teeth that in time they will
break off or strip. So it is important
that the fabrication of the transmits
sion be carefully looked after, and
the driver should take the cover off
and see If there is the proper level Of
grease in it about every 1900 miles.
The question is often asked as to
which is the better lubricant for the
transmission-a heavy oil or a grease
The writer favors a grease or non
fluid oil, provided that this grease has
two properties; namely, it must flow
very freely even in cold weather, and
it must stick to the finger or a piece
Of metal when inserted in it, and stick
in quite mass.
If the grease does not flow freely,
it will be spattered about and stick to
the sides and top of the housing, with
the result that the gears soon run dry.
1t is because Of this tendency that
many advocate the heavy oil instead
of the grease. There are some of
the heavy oils.
Unless the grease has the property
Of sticking both to metal when placed
in it, and to itself. it will not be car
ried up so as to lubricate the teeth of
the gears where they come in con.
tact.
Certain cars use the same oil as is
| used in the engine to 1ubricate the
| transmission gears, the oil being
pumped over the gears and then run
ming back into the crank case of the
engine. Where this is the case, no
grease or oil must be put into the
, transmission.
| AS to the proper level of the grease
or Gill;, where the transmission is de
signed with the gears on the secondary
shaft placed below those on the main
shaft, the level should be such. that
the small low speed gear just dips
into the grease or oil, while il the
| gears are placed side by side. or or
the same level the largest of the in
termediate gears should just dip into
| the grease. BY a study of the draw
| ings of the transmission it will be
readily seen why this should be so.
The bearings on the transmission
shafts are always either Of the bal
or roller type. They require little
care, their fabrication being auto
matically taken care of by the move
ment of the gears in the grease OF
oil.
If, however, the smallest particle Of
metal gets in the bearing, it will cause
the balls or rollers to crush and chip
and also cause a tearing of the sur
| face of the race-ways. For this reason
when the transmission cover is re
moved it, and the housing about it
should first be carefully cleaned, ant
should the smallest Of cotter-pins Of
other parts fall into the Transmission
they must be fished out. If not, thu
combination of vibration and move
ment of the oil will eventually carr,
