The Transmission.

The metal rod, called the gear-shift
lever, which goes down through the
foorboards, is connected on the bot
tom to an aluminium case containing
a number of gears. This gear box is
called the transmission. There was
no particular reason for naming 1t
that except that transmission" is
nice sounding word and rhymes well
with Condition" When your car goes
to the shop to be looked over they
always tell you, that the transmits
sion" is in bad condition." so the
automobile makers thought it would
be nice to have the two words rhyme.
They felt that if, when the repair
man calls up the car owner. he could
tell him what is wrong with the car
in a poetic way it would put the car
owner in a better mood and he
wouldn't feel so bad when he found
out he had to mortgage his house to
get his car away from the shop. The
following poem is one used very sue
cessfully by prosperous repairman
in Oklahoma:
Hello. Mr.. Jones!
This is Stickem's Garage,
We're afraid that the bill

Whata the Automobile Radiator Is
For

The radiator of an automobile is de-
signed to carry water in case of fire
in the engine. When a fire occurs
under the hood, the rubber hose con-
nections will burn and the water in
the radiator will be released and put
the fire out. That is why it is we'll
to always keep the radiator full.
The water is carried in the radi-
ator in front of the car because it is
accessible there to the motor. There
is one DISADVANTAGES, however, and
that is that the water, being so near
the engine, gets very hot. The radI-
ator fan. however, If working prop
erly, will do much to keep the water
cool.

News Notes.
Lem Spiker has discovered new
use for his fivver, according to what
he told the boys in the poolroom last
night. One of the boys, 1t seems, re-
marked that Lem was shaving o1ten-
er and asked Lem how was 1t. Then
he told US how he'd found out now
to sharpen his raZon so that 1t was a
pleasure to shave.
He does it by jacking up one OF the
rear wheels of his f1ivver and letting
the motor run. The wheel that he
uses has got a smooth tread tire on
it and he sharpens his razor by hold
ing it up against the tire, like a grind
stone. 1t is necessary to first clean
off the tire with wet rag. says Lem,
SO that the grit wont hurt the razor
none. He says 1t works just like

WHEELER TEAM
IS OUTsCORED
Play of Miss Marie Handler
han Features Locals
rs Victory

The Amboy Stars girls basketball
team, led by Miss Ethel Lewis, de-
feated the Wheeler Condenser girls
team of Roosevelt in a sensational
game on the Auditorium court here
last night by a score of Us. The
contest kept the fans on edge from
the whistle at the start of the first
half until the timers whistle
was blown at the completion of the
game. The home players led
throughout.
Aside from the stellar play on the
part of the players on both teams.
work of Miss Marie Handerhan fea-
tured this game. The local girls
played Miss Anna REILLY. New Jer-
sey's leading girl basketball player
in great style throughout the game,
and succeeded in holding the New
ark crack scoreless from the field.
1t was Miss REILLY who dribbled
down the floor for several baskets
in the game at Woodbridge last week
in which the Dottas girls of this city
met defeat, and Miss Marie Handler
han vowed to hold her scoreless the
next time she played the Newarker.
Miss REILLY, it is said, plays basket
ball every night in the week and this
alone is enough to show the real
value of Miss Handerhan's play, in
as much as the latter basketball
player had previously performed in
one contest this season.
Each team scored one field goal
in this contest, Miss Anna Handler
han dropped in a double counter
from q spot to the right of her W
foul line after thirteen minutes of
play in the opening period. This
session was played according to pro-
f~essional rules, the two hand dribble.
and at the end bf the opening Pc
riod the home team led, 40. The
Amboy girls regularly play the one
hand dribble. Miss f. Bjork scored
two fouls for Amboy in the session.
In the second half the visiting
girls started to creep up on the
home players after Miss b. Duncan
had dropped in a pretty field goal.
With five minutes to go a o u was
called on the Amboy team and Miss
REILLY made same, making the score
6-5. After this the visitors missed
several chances from the fifteen
foot line, while Miss Ethel Levi
scored a foul goal with two minutes
to go, making the final count 7-5.
Miss Lewis scored all three points
for the Amboy team in this half.
while Miss Duncan scored four
points for the visitors and Miss Riel-
ly registered one counter. This ses-
sion was played according to the
one-hand dribbling rules.
Yves Hansen refereed the game In
a capable manner. He called twelve
fouls on the home team and thirteen
on the visitors. The defensive play
of the Misses E. Bjork and NJ. Nolan
greatly aided the home team. Miss
Marie Handerhan, who was placed
in a forward position to follow Miss
REILLY, the running guard of the
visitors, shifted to guard when Miss
REILLY went to forward in the last
half.
