UNIVERSAL JOINT is

Takes Power Of Engine and TransmIts
Il 70 Propeller Shaft Which

There are hundreds Of moving parts
on an automobile or mOtOrtruck, but
none works so hard and so efficiently
as universal joint. Such joint is
necessary on the propeller shaft ex.
tending from the clutch to transmits
sion and from the transmission to the
rear axle, as the case may be.
Universal Joints are known to oper
ate at more than 90 per cent efficiency
which cannot be said Of any other part
Of an automobile doing such strenuous
work.
The universal joint. as its name In
dicates. allows for free or universal
movement Of the propeller shaft. 1t Is
like your thumb, which you can wiggie
in all directions.

Joint may be constantly moving first
IN one direction, then another. but
usually 1t moves up and down because
the rear axle keeps moving MP and
down over the road.
The propeller shaft angularity varies
according to the relative movement Of
the rear axle, and were 1t 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 the propeller shaft. This Is
an all-metal joint, and the only care
which this Woodworking part receives
Is little grease twice each year. 1t is
remarkable how this part stands up
even when owners forget 1t.
Most owners do not know what a
universal Joint lookselike because 1t
never gives any trouble. but the wise
owner will not allow Joints to 60 with

Grease Is easily injected through the

PLAIN HINTS TO
FOIL CAR THIEF
Cleveland Auto Distributors Gives
! Some Practical Sugges-
tons to Owners.
REMOVE DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
Unique and Effective Scheme 10 %
Have Blind Switch In ignition
System-other Methods 20
Discourage RobbeSN.

Some ingenious yet simple ways to
foil the automobile thief. who often
laughs at locksmiths when he begins
tinkering. with motorcars. are sug-
Gested by Emil @. Hertz, Cleveland
automobile distributor.
Mr.. Rertz's first suggestion IL to
remove the distributor rotor. Without
this rotor there can be no spark, he
says, and without the spark no gaso-
line motor will run. The rotor Is one
OF the easiest things to get at. so It's
removal by the car owner when he
leaves his vehicle parked In some
street Is all the easier.
AS there are several different kinds
Of rotors, 1t is all the more difficult
for the thief, since he would have to
carry almost every type to have the
correct one available when needed.
Even though half Of all the automobile
thieves were equipped with complete
sets Of rotors, the car stealing hazard
would be reduced so per cent.
Unique and Effective Scheme
Perhaps the most unique and effec-
i've scheme to protect car. continued
Mr.. Hertz, is to have a blind switch
IN some concealed part Of the main
ignition system. Probably nine out Of
ten thieves would be utterly bafiied
II the circuit were broken In this way
becauea II is q device they would least
expect. Tney would naturally look for
the commOner methods Of disabling
cars but there is no standard way
available to the thief for locating the
trouble caused by q, blind switch.
Another simple. though less effectual
way to battle the amateurish thief Is to
disconnect the wire at the coll, In
connection with the generator. In
many makes Of cars there is only one
wire exposed on the coil and It may
Be detached at either end with little
trouble.
There is still another way to discour-
age the motor car thief and that Is
to cross the spark plug wires to say
the fourth and fifth or the fifth and
sixth cylinders Of six" This cross
ing Of the wires, causes back firing
and resultant heavy artillery when the
engine is started will often cause the
less hardened thief to fee In dismay,
asserts Mr.. Hertz.
Some car owners however, would
not approve of this method of thwart-
ing the thief because Of the danger Of
blowing or the muffler- Of the cars
mechanism.
Keep Record Of Numbers
Finally, be sure that you record the
numbers OF your motor and tires In 2
memorandum book and keep the book
where you can always lay your hands
upon It, advises Mr.. Hertz, who cites
an instance Of car which was stolen
in Boston, Mass, and recovered and
identified four months later by one Of
the original tires.

Does the Valve Leak7


It Is an easy matter to discover
whether the tire valve leaks or

wheel turned so the valve is

the bubbles will indicate It. Try
1t with the cap on and with the

CONVICT
MISSING 5 YEARS.
GIVES SELF UP
Surrenders, To Finish
Serving 4-Year SEN
tence On Gang

Nearly five years ago, Ivah Kaylor,
a white man, whose home was near
DeSoto, made his third escape from
the Sumter county chain gang, where
he was serving a sentence of A years
for manslaughter for killing negro.
Nothing was heard of him thereafter
until Wednesday. Today he is back
on the chaingang to complete his SEN
tence.
Kaylor came home, he said, to give
himself up, so that he might complete
his sentence and return to his family,
which has continued to live with Mrs
Berry Williams, mother of Mrs. Kay
lor, near DeSoto, during the fugi-
tive's absence, and he surrendered
himself voluntarily to County Engi-
neer John B. Ansley. who is also
county convict warden. He would
not have had the opportunity of sur
rendering, however, had he waited a
bit longer before starting for town.
1t was Tuesday evening that Kay
lor alighted from a train at DeSoto
and started to walk into the country
to the Williams home, where he wife
and several children were living. He
was changed in appearance, but was
recognized, unknown to him, by a
man who knew that he was an escap-
ed convict. Kaylor was permitted to
spend the night with his family, but
early Wednesday morning the
sheriff's office was notified and Sheriff
Harvey and Deputies Summers and
Cox later went to the Williams home

however, they found that Kaylor had
started for Americus, and by the time
they returned to the courthouse he
had already surrendered to Mr..
Ansley.
Kaylor did not say where he had
been during his five years of absence,

sentence served and have his freedom
again. He had to identify himself to

RESENTS
TO REFLECT ON
ENTIRE ARMY
Tells Committee 1t Could
Better Try To Save
Disgraceful Waste

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3. - Turn
ing sharply upon the house war in
vestigating committee as a whole,
Charles G. Dawes, former head of
the army supply procurement serv-
ice in France, told one of them to-
day that the value of their work
had been rendered useless through
the injection of Partisan politics.
81 bitterly resent this effort to
reflect upon the entire army because
some poor devil blundered in Switz-
erland," he said.
"You cannot put a blotch on the
army. What the hell did we go in
for? To steal money? 1t was not
d Republican or Democratic war; it
was an American war, and yet, as a
rule these committees try to bring
in partisan politics. You could use
your time investigating to better adj
vantage right here trying to save the
disgraceful government waste; you
could save more money for the peo-
pie. But as to France, you haven't
got the evidence to make a case if
one existed and / don't believe it
does"
''The people are tired of war talk
and fault-finding, There's no news
in it. If l wasn't here strutting
around and swearing, there would be
no news in this"
He then took up attempts to criti-
cize Gen. Pershing and said:
"It will be rs or SO years before
Pershings place in history is fixed.
He couldn't have won the war had he
sought popularity above duty"
Dawes said the army again is "de-
teriorating into bureaucracy, which
is bound to prove inefficient" and
shouted, "you members of congress
who listen to every whipper-snapping
bureau chief who comes running to
you with tale of woe are largely re-
sponsible."
