palace, which is expected TO be ready for
the event for some time next sumner.
The king in an interview granted to
an Associated Press correspondent, de-
clared that stories foreeasting his abdica-
tion were quite as absurd as other re-
ports concerning him while in Paris.
King Alexander received the CORE
spondent in the modest, one-story terra
Gotta palace, which is so old that it has
become one of the landmarks of Bel
grade.
Alexander sought news OF the Wash
ington arms conference, in the outcome
of which he said he was deeply inter-
ested. He expressed the wish for its
fullest success.
"Jugo-Slav welcomes most cordially
every step toward the avoidance Of
armed conflict in the future" he said.
Like all other countries we need peace.

great war, which are especially grave.

efforts of our united races to achieve
our fun statue and to gain that posi-
tion of staEding in the family of nations
to which our industry. our riches and
our situation entitle us. 1 should IL

degree on sympathy and understanding
our efforts in this direction"
Asked his views concerning the decision
of the allied council of ambassadors on
the Albanian boundary dispute, the king
great surprise and disappointment IN
Jugo-Slavia, but that he hoped the coun-
Gil, upon reflection would modify its de-
cision so to give greater justice and pro-
lection to Jugo- -Slayia.
Alexander said he understood the coun-
ell OF ambassadors was ready to make
some slight territorial concessions to
Jugo- -SIavia, but he declared that these
were not enough. He emphasized his
country's need for strong natural bar
rier of mountains and rivers. The king
insisted that this would be the only
effective means for keeping out the hos
tile border clans.
The young Slav monarch spoke ap-
preciatively of the sympathy OF the
United States for aiding in the creation
OF unified state of the Serbs. Croats
and Slovenes, and also for the material

SPRING DESIGN OF
 PAIGE SIX ,ABSORBS
 STRESS OF STARTING

When the torque or turning effort of an automobile engine is applied through drive shaft and pin:on to turn the rear wheels, or when the brakes are applied, there is. tendency for the whole axle to rotate Some designers make use of a third arm, or ''torque members" to neutralize this turning force, while others employ the "Hotchkiss drive, which consists of the use of the front half of the rear springs to absorb this tendency for the axle to rotate.
 Properly worked out, the Hotchkiss drive has many distinct advantages, 2 says President H. M. levitt of the Paige "A cleaner, simpler design is made pos sible, and extra joints and extra weight are eliminated.
 When a car is standing at the curb, for example, and power is suddenly apT piled by throwing in the clutch, sudden and severe strain is thrown on the rear axle pinion and ring gear In the Hotch- kiss type of construction this. shock is iii part neutralized by the flexible ac- tion of the rear springs. A saving of wear and tear on these important gears and their bearings adds greatly to the life and quietness of rear axle.
 Great care is necessary, however. in designing the rear springs where the Hotchkiss drive Is used. Paige engi- neers, as a result of long and careful experimenting. developed rear spring design which eliminated the early trou- bles which some designers had with the Hotchkiss type of drive. and achieved a layout simpler and decidedly more flexible and efficient than any construc- ton requiring a third torque member.
