AUTO MYSTERIES"
AREN'T AT ALL

It's funny how people ride
around In cars and never know
what makes 'em go. And Just
because they don't know, they
get into a lot OF trouble they
wouldn't have IL they did know.
The clutch is a mechanical
hand which holds the engine
shaft and the drive shaft together
when the car Is going and let's
go and separates them when the
car IL not going and the engine Is.
The function OF the gearset is
to provide a different ratio of en-
gine revolution to rear wheel
revolution; not, as some people
fondly suppose, sto allow the
driver to drive at different speeds,
but to provide him with more
power when it's needed.
The difYerential is an arrange
ment OF gears which is an elastic
transmitter OF power to the rear
wheels-it can deliver more
power to one wheel than the
other and, therefore. can allow
one wheel to revoive faster or
slower than the other.
These are some Of the unique
and thoroughly understandable
definitions of the mysterious parts
under the body, and IL after read
ing Old Timers dissertation one
js not better acquainted with his
car then we miss our guess.
Suppose you read 1t and see.

revolution can go around a corner
Delivered at Driving Piston.
"The power is delivered at the driv-
Ing pinion. or gear In the direrential,
whore Il is conveyed to the axles
through the ring gears--a large
toothed wheel, and the differential.
The differential is an arrangement OF
gears by which power goes to both
rear wheels. but which 10 an elastic
transmitter of power-it can deliver
more power to one wheel than an
other and, therefore. can allow one
wheel to go slower or faster than the
other. II II were not 80, every time
you went around a corner, one wheel
or the other would scrape. since the
outside wheels travel a further dis
a corner. Similarly. In a bumpy road
II one rear wheel travels over a bump
while the other is on the level, It
goes a greater linear distance and so
must make a further revolution in
the same time than its mate.
From the differential and driving
gear the power of torque goes
through the axles, to the end of which
are fastened rigidiy the rear wheels.
Understand all that?"
81 think So" answered Companion.
Don't Know What Noise Means.
"An right Glad you do A whole
lot Of drivers don't. So when they
hear a noise or feel a grina OF sense

sound in a rim squeak and a rear
axle -loose-key squawk Is plain
enough to the experienced ear, but
enough similar to deceive the begin
ner. A rim squeak is harmless, OF
| course. But there is an infallible
method of telling whether the sound
is a squeak or a squawk. The rim
! squeak Is recurrent and regular. The
key squawk only occurs wheI. sud

axle and usually after reversing"

GREAT AUTOSHOW
WILL CLOSE TODAY
Most Successful Exhibition In u
S. lndustry's History In Dis
play and Attendance.
~ L. J. FAULKNER.

To-day closes the most successful
Automobile Show ever held In the
United States. not only In point or
exhibits, but in attendance. =,
New York has been motor mao All
tho week, and standing room only
WAS the rule In every hotel. Inc
Grand Central Palace and the Eighth
Coast Artillery Armory seemed 10 De
the mecca for everyone, ana father
Kniekerbocker got an eyeful or more
real automobile beauty and truck ei-
ficiency than ever before.
A noticeable fact carried OUT IN
body construction has been that o..
Following the European designers AZ
is becoming more and more apparent
that the average factory is looking 10
European countries for art ana style
while still maintaining their Ameri-
can supremacy In engine construc-
tion.
LlttIe Change In Engines.
The new 1920 models exhibited show
n marked advance In body construc-
tion over that of previous ones There
does not seem to be noticeaple' OF
marked, Increase in efficiency OF en-
gine construction. This Is propapiy
due to a great extent TO lack OF time
during the last strenuous year. ana
mobile engine is we'll nigh perfect:
The week has seen many social
gatherings whereby factories fur-
nished hospitality to dealers ana asso-
Citations. as well as TO mempers. An
other very noticeable feature was
that in every hotel of prominence
suites were engaged by various fac
tories, where open house was kept Tor
everyone.
Some Of the Events.
Some OF the events slated for the
week were, the Association OF Auto
motive Engineers carnival night ana
banquet held at the Astor on the
evenings OF January Q and 7: The
Maxwell Motor Corporations showing
in the east ballroom of the Commo-
dore Hotel OF a wonderful collection
OF moving pictures, illustrating the
method by which they overcame the
fuel shortage in their factory by the
substitution OF their own motor en-
gines to furnish power. 1t was very
interesting and instructive exhibit
and was largely attended.
The Jordan Motor Company also
gave d banquet and open house eve
ming for their dealers and the Lex
ington Company entertained the
newspaper men Of New York during
the week.
The Times TReater Party.
THE WASHINGTON TIMES gave a
theater party at the Nora Bayes The
ater and a buffet supper at the Hotel
Astor. which over 200 leading automo-
tive people of Washington as we'll as
advertising agencies and factory rep
resentatives attended.
Taken as a whole, much can be ex-
pected from the 1920 Automotive
Show.
The attendance on the closing days
was fully as large as at the early
part OF the week. At all times dur
ing the morning. afternoon and eve
ming the Grand Central Palace was
filled to capacity on all floors and a
notable feature OF the attendance was
the keen interest manifested by all in
the various models
The attendants were kept busy con-
stantly explaining and extoIling the
virtues Of their particular make Of
car. The week was a strenuous one
for all connected with the industry
and the universal feeling seemed to
be that the efforts had been more than
repaid.

NO MORE WHISkEY
 PERMITS WILL BE
 ISSUED IN STATE

No more permits will be issued to wholesale liquor dealers of Connec- ticut in pursuance of an order re- ceived yesterday by Federal Prohibit ton Director Julius c. Stremlau from National Prohibition Commissioner John F. Kramer. The reason for the issuing of the order, StremIau said, are that there are now more than enough wholesalers to take care of the requirements of retail druggists who have permits to sell liquor for medicinal purposes on doctors pre- scriptions.
 Applications of wholesalers now
 filed with Stremlau or being pre- pared for filing will not be granted, but applications now in the office of
 the national prohibition commission CT will be granted, MT. Stremlau said. Asked what wholesalers who have no permits can do with stock pur- chased before the passage of the pro- hibition amendment by Congress and which is now maturing in bonded warehouses, Stremlau said they would not be violating any article of the | amendment by selling the certificates issued by the warehouses to wholesal- CTS to whom permits have been is- sued.
