embodied in the Hitchkiss car, the product of an American engineer, but manufactured in France and brought to this country as an alien. By one of the anomalies that are almost habitual in the business world it took twelve years for the Hotchkiss idea to achieve popularity in this coun- try. Perhaps this was due to the fact that it was an idea rather than a part of a device, which would be pushed by some manufacturing coun- try. The advantages of utilizing the springs in this way simply had to sink home to the American engineering fraternity in fate's own good time. No pressure was brought to bear to introduce the idea, which finally in 1913 won it's place as the predomi- rating method of design for this part of the mechanism purely and simply through it's inherent merit. At the present time nearly three -fifths of the cars on the American market embody Hotchkiss drive.
 Stripped of complications, Hotch- kiss drive means power that the re- pulsive power is transmitted through the springs instead of through the ra- dius rods, etc, as used to be the GUS tom, and also that the rear springs
 
 twist of the whole rear axle assembly The rear axle unit is peculiarly liable to twisting tendencies because of its position in the mechanism and func- ton. When the car is being driver straight ahead there is a certain twist ing movement on the part of the rear axle whenever the rate of speed is altered. This is somewhat different from the movement present when the brakes are applied. In this case tlii wheels are suddenly stopped, where's the rest of the car tends to proceed in the direction in which it has beer going, in accordance with the laws ct inertia. When the car is being started the axle develops a tendency to turr forward. In some cases where th( springs are unusually flexible the real axles can actually be seen to turr forward when the car is being started
 Now, as we noted before, in cars CIT bodying Hotchkiss drive all this twis or torque of the rear axle assembly i taken care of by the springs. In othel words the springs are callei upon tt ,bsorb the tendecy to revoive. Fur ther, after the car is in motion tht rear axle and wheels must keep tn, rest of the vehicle moving by pushins it. It is evident on a moments | thought that this is so because th'

larger diameters-6-inch, S-inch, lo- inch and 12-inch-to meet the de- mand However each increase In size of the tires brought heavier in itial costs and greater operating ex- penses-and each tended to raise the truck and load higher from the ground thereby increasing the possi- bilities of the load overturning.
 Finally Goodyear hit upon the idea of distributing the weight over six wheels instead of four and of secur- ing additional power by connecting the transmission to the four rear wheels and the new six-wheel truck is the result.
 This truck runs at seven speeds, furnishing a gear ratio that will ex- actly meet every condition that may be encountered. And the cross con- tinent journey has aptly demonstrat ed that the four S-inch tires on the rear are more economical than two 10-inch tires and afford greater trac- tion.
 This tuck Is the sixth of this de- sign that Goodyear has built and it was completed just previous to the time that the trip was ordered.

ST. CROIX STATION.

London, Nov. 18th. Railway porters
and conductors are protesting against a
claim made by the Revenue authorities
that they are liable to income tax on the
amount Of tips they receive. The men
contend that tips are gifts and as
such exempt from taxation. The Re
venue authorities base their claim
on a court Of appeal decision in 1917
when a railwayman with the support OF
his union proved he was legally entitled
to regard tips as part of his earnings.
Since then the railway companies have
taken tips into account in c2mpensatlng

How Twentieth Century Scientists Have Rubbed the
Mag's Lamp and Made the Ageold Dream
of Alchemy Come True
No. |
THE AGE OF CHEMISTRY
(Told In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND

Within the last few years the world
has been electrified by the vast strides
made in the field of science by the ere
alive chemist. Indeed. within a gener-
alton the influence exerted upon the
entire fabric of our civilization from
within the laboratory has been so
enormous that we are prepared at
last TO accept the oft-repeated state
ment that we have passed beyond the
age OF machinery and have entered
into the more mysterious age OF chem
istry.
What this new era is 10 bring forth
IN the way OF scientific discovery rests
upon conjecture, but certainly, the
mfrs sles performed in the last half
century have been sufficient to warrant
almost any expectancy.
America has heard that Germanys
chemists saved her from an early dis
astrous defeat, both in the field and
in the matter of obtaining supplies.
Without the tremendous expansion of
her plants for the production OF nj
trates and ammonia from the air by
processes developed by her great
chemists the war. without question,
would have ended years before it did,
as result OF the exhaustion OF Ger
many's explosives, if not from the ex-
haustion of her food supplies because
of the lack of fertilizer for her fields.
So great, in fact. have been the ac-
complishments in the last few years
that scientists now declare that a ma
ton without applied chemistry will be
"defenseleSS in war and laggards in
peace"
Previously unheard OF scientific feats
have been reported from the labora-
tory, but because of necessity, they
were performed so quietly they were
robbed OF their glamor and their trap
pings OF romance while lesser achieve
ments on the field of battle and in the
council chambers OF diplomats have
been hailed by throngs
Those of us who have left the class
room and the study hall far behind fnC
