AUTOS PUNISHED
ON STEEP HILLS
II Is Not Necessary to Take An
of Difficult Grades While
''in High Gear"
DONE SOLELY FOR ROASTING
Practice imposes Hardest Kind OF
Work on Engine and Every Other
Part Of Carlow Gears
Should Be Employed.

The high gear hill climber is first
cousin to the scorcher. and both are
bound TO become wiser as time goes
on, says X. @. Allen, writing In Amer
lean Mot0rist on the folly OF driving
motorcars up steep hills in high gear
solely for Boosting purposes.
Continuing Mr.. Allen says:
II fully understand that the modern
automobile is made TO climb almost
anything but trees. But / wish to
demonstrate that TO climb n steep hill
on the high gear Imposes the hardest
kind OF work not only on the engine,
but also on every other part OF the
car. The low gear ratios are provided
for hill climbing and they should be
used for 1t.
Work Of Automobiles.
at may be well here to consider a
little more carefully the amount OF
work performed by an automobile
climbing a gradient on, say, a gear
ratio Of three to one. A ratio Of three
to one means that one revolution Of
the rear wheels Is produced by three
revolutions of the engine shaft. With
the lower gear ratio. the intermediate
and the low. the number Of engine
revolutions becomes still greater as
compared to the number Of rOad-wheel
revolutions.
at II not so difficult to compute with
exactness the distance which a car is
propelled by one explosion In the en-
CINE cylinder and the power consumed
In hill climbing. The circumference
OF n 32-lnch wheel Is approximately
100 inches, and In covering one mile
as fast us the road wheels. II will re-
Quire 1870 revolutions OF the gear
shaft to propel the car one mile. Thus,
IL such a car should proceed at the
rate OF 30 miles per hour approximate
ly $50 engine revolutions per minute
are required. with two power strokes
at every revolution there are 1900
revolutions per mile and each explo-
sion propels the car one foot and four
and n half inches.
Resistance ADDED.
This estimate assumes that the car
be propelled over level ground. To
mount a hill simply means that grade
resistance Is added TO the various frlc-
tlonal and other stresses. An automo-
bile weighing 1000 pounds climbing a
hill 200 feet high measured vertical
ly) simply performs the task of over
the action OF gravity or lift
and the calculation OF the pow
er required to do this must involve
the factors from which the horse
power unit is derived. To lift 1000
pounds 200 feet high In n minute is
the same thing as lifting 1000 times
200 or 10000 pounds one foot
high In one minute. Theoretically.
then, the lifting Of 1900 pounds 200
feet high requires 100000 divided by
81, 900 equals 1912 horsepower, and
the losses through friction, air resist
ance, etc, consume the remainder Of
the theoretical horsepower output.
From all of this II must become ap-
parent that rushing up a steep hill on
the high gear must subject any car
to enormous stresses, which are likely
to affect the life and service of the
rar to a considerable degree"

Failure TO obtain a permit from

Both men were bound over to dis

Their arrest was made following
the filing OF a complaint by tho
county attorney after they had gone
to his office to find out ii they were
in the clear.
They told police they had scld
$4,000 worth OF fve-acre oil leases
on land asserted to be in Guadaloupe
county, Texas, in Omaha during the
last two months.
Their system was to work through
the nurses registry. -.
There's no use trying to sell
leases to bookkeepers or clerks,
Flesher declared. THE nurses are

Nebraska Beet Fields
Are Shame to State,
Welfare Head Says

Lincoln, Oct. l0.-(Special. Ne
braskas shame is the beet fields in
the western part OF the state, where
children work from sunrise to sunset
and get little or no education, ac-
cording to Miss Emily Hornberger.
field secretary for the state depart
ment OF public welfare. H., s
Miss Hornberger has just returned
from Z trip to that section and de-
c!ares she finds that not one-fourth
of the children engaged in the beet
field industry are going to school.
According to results OF her in
vestigation, children are put to work
by their parents at years of age
and from then on until they grow
to manhood and womanhood educa-
ton plays little or no part in their
life.
The conditions in that section are
peculiar and especially shard to
handle because many of the children
have foreign-born parents who travel
from one place to another after
work.. This, Miss Hornberger de-
ciares, makes it difficult to clamp the
enforced school attendance law upon
them.

A week ago last Friday Dale fell
from a tree in his yard and nurt his
foot on some stubble. The injury
was considered unimportant until
last Saturday, when the pain became
intense and physician was
summoned.
Tetanic poisoning, often the cause
OF lockjaw, was the diagnosis made,
and the little fellow was confined

The parents, in Chicago, were no.
tihed and began the long drive by
automobile to their sons bedside.
All was we'll until they started the
drive through Council Bluffs. There
their car was halted by sheriff's depu-
ties and 90 gallons of alcohol in the
tonneau uncovered, according to
Sheriff w. A. Groncweg.
Ashburn and his bride explained to
the sheriff their: sons illness and
were released at once on $1,000
bond each.
But the arrest had caused Just
enough delay, and when they reached
the grandmother home, little Dale
was dead.
