UNIVERSAL JOINT is
VITAL PART OF AUTO
No Portion of Car Works So
Hard and Efficiently.
Takes Power Of Engine and Transmits
II to Propeller Shaft Which
Moves According to Move
ment Of Rear Axle.

There are hundreds of moving parts
on an automobile or motortruck, but
nom works so hard and so efficiently
as "A universal joint. Such II joint is
necessary on the propeller shaft ex-
tending from the clutch tc transmits
sion and from the transmission to the
rear axle. as the case may be.
Universal Joints are known to oper-
ate at more han 9S per cent efficiency,
which annot be said of any other part
of an automobile doing such
work.
h universal joint, as its name in
d~icates, allows for free or universal
movement of the propeller shaft. 1t is
like your thumb, which you can wiggle
in all directions.
A universal joint takes the power
of the engine and transmits 1t to the
propeller shaft. At the same time this
Joint may be constantly moving first
in N direction, then another, but
usually 1t moves up n down because
the rear axle keeps moving up and
down over the road.
The propeller shaft angularity varies
according to the relative movement of
the rear axle, and were it not for the
use of universal joints the shaft would
bend or break, and hence could not
transmit power.
Every automobile uses universal
joints on h propeller shaft. This is
an all-metal joint, INT the only care
which this Woodworking part receives
is a little grease twice each year. 1t is
remarkable how this part stands up
even when owner forget it.
Most owners do not know what a
universal joint looks like because it
never gives any trouble, but the wise
owner will not allow joints to go with
out grease.
Grease is easily injected through the
hller opening by means of n suitable
grease gun. The joint should not be
filled completely-one-third full is suf-
ficient.

Value Of Utilities Drops s1e1.7 700.

Denver.-Colorado public utilities,
telephone N telegraph companies,
railroads and private street car lines
will pay taxes on S191, 100 less than in
1920. This fact Is revealed in the an
nual assessment roll made public by
the State Tax Commission here.
The 1920 valuation fixed by the
commission totalled $227 ,454. 100, while
the 1921 valuation is 1927, 262, 400. The
decrease is occasloned by the low
earnings of the railroads and various
public utilities.
Low earning capacity of the Mis-
souri, Pacific resulted in n decrease of
S230,0O0 in its assessment, while APP
proximately 100000 was taken off the
Rio Grande Southern. The valuation
of the Denver & Rio Grande, which is
the largest in the state, was left at
$41, 1888, 800. The second largest as
sessment is against the Colorado &
Southern. which was left unchanged
at $23,9S1, 100. No changes were made
In the Santa Fe, Burlington or Union
Pacific railroads.
Among the railroads $1,000 OO was
iopptu oll tHt iNoch lslunu. Inc TehSOn
for this was said to be the fact that
certain property was assessed last
year upon which the railroad was not
compelled to pay taxes.
An increase OF $4,000 was made In
the assessment of the American Rail-
way Express Company and private car
lines were increased $4,000. The
Pullman Company will pay taxes on
81, 600, the same as In 1920.
A 100000 assessment was made in
the assessment of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
while the Western Union Telegraph
Company'h holdings In the state are
valued at $1,000, 100, an increase Of
about $4,000.
The holdings Of the Denver Tram
way Company have decreased n total
of $4,000 since 1920. while the prop
erty value of the Denver Gas and
Electric Light Company has Increased
since the last valuation exactly $1,1S3,.
$50. A decrease also was made In the
valuation OF the Colorado Power Com
pany. The 1921 valuation Is placed at
$4,000, 400, compared with S5,963, $3.50 In
1920.

ALARM WARNS OF
DEFECTIVE TIRE
Electric Device Invented by In
d%ianapoIis Man Can Be At

ELECTRIC SWITCH DOES WORK
Placed in Position So That They Will
Be Thrown to One or Other of
Closed Positions When Tire
is Punctured.

1t frequently happens that air leaks
slowly from a tire without the drivers
knowing it. The tire becomes flat and
the rims Of the wheel cut into it. To
warn drivers in time. George f. Young
of Indianapolis has recently invented
an electric alarm which can be at
tached to any wheel. 1t consists of an
electric switch which is mounted on
the axle of a wheel. The blade of
this switch projects toward the spokes
of the wheel. The end of the blade
stops very close to the spokes, though
enough space is left to enable the
blade to barely clear them.

Working in conjunction with the
blade of the switch is a metal finger
mounted on one of the spokes of the
wheel. This finger can slide radially
to the wheel, but a spring normally
holds it away from the axle, with one

INJURIOUS TO CAR SURFACE
Common Practice of Using Ammonia
to Brighten Surface of Hood
Will Ruin Finish.

There used to be a common practice
OF trying to brighten up the finish of
the hood by the use on 1t of a solu-
ton of ammonia. This is about the
worst thing that could be done, as
ammonia eventually destroys the fin
ish. Unfortunately the ammonia gives
a little temporary brilliance to the fin
ish. but in the long run it ruins 1t.
In fact, car manufacturers recon-
mend that no car be kept in a stable
or barn, as the ammonia from
gradually destroys the enameled sur

The Technical and Shortridge High
School football teams we've to meet today
at Irwin field at 2.30 in the first of the
city title games. Both schools were
backing their teams to win and opinion
was divided as to the outcome Of the
scrap. The coaches of the two squads
were silent as to the chances Of their
teams IL today's battle.
On previous dope Sh0rtridge had the
slight edge and generally was picked as
a h8ir-line favorite over the Green and
white. There was general feeling that
Tech, In shifting It's team around this
week, had not accomplished as much In
the way Of Improvement as some Of the
Tech rooters thought. On the other hand
Coach Julius had the same lineup that
looked so good against Wabash. The
line seemed to be in splendid shape and
the north side machine was running
along without any apparent bitches 10
the practices Of the week.
Tech thought itself improved by the
shift in the lineup and II Nipper was in
the game and able to show any of his
old time form despite his broken hand,
Techs chances were expected to be great
