the style of longer lines. 1t would be
hard to find anything to excel this in

need for their clubs, concerts, church

EOUR distinct types of hats appear
i here, each one of them entitled to
be called a star in the galaxy of its
particular kind. They are forecasts
of what. we may expect to see in the
millinery sky this winter, and they
are enchanting. At a glance we per.
ceive them to be the work of artists,
from the frame foundations to the
last minute details Of their making
and trimming, and concede that only
expert professionals can make them.
Think this over when the price of hats
is under discussion and be willing to
pay for faultless workmanship.
AT the top of the group dress hat,
of black velvet, has soft crown and
straight wide brim with novel finish
about It's edge. For this border mum.
bers of shiny black ornaments having
the sparkle of jet are used. The lines
of the crown and brim are beautifully
balanced, and the shape becoming to
many faces.
One of the shapes that artists love
appears in the youthful model at the

DRIVER DEF7 AT
SHIFTING Gears
All Motions With Levers Must Be
Made Deliberately and With
out Undue Haste.
PROBLEMS ON TRANSMISSION
II Is a Serious Mistake to Permit Car
to Gain Too Much Speed Before
Changing Combinations
Good Method Outlined.

One Of the marks Of good driver
Is the manner in which he handles
the gear shifting lever. OF course,
the design of the clutch has a great
deal to do with easy gear shifting,
but even with this advantage GER
tain amount of practice is necessary
In order to shift the gears deftly with
out noise or clashing.
The transmission is made up Of a
series Of gears, mounted on the main
shaft and the countershaft, with the
idler gear mounted on the transmits
sion case. The first speed, second
speed and reverse combinations are
simply three sets of reduction gears
with various ratios, to give the mo-
tor greater leverage against the
driving mechanism when required.
High speed is direct drive, which
means that the propeller shaft re-
wolves at the same rate of speed as
the motor crankshaft The various
gears are brought into play by moving
the gear shifting lever to the proper
positions.
Power Is Disconnected.
When the clutch pedal Is pressed
all the way down the power Of the
motor is disconnected from the trans
mission system, which releases the
pressure of the gear teeth against
each other and makes it possible to
Shift the gears easily. Also, when
the gear shifting lever is in neutral
position the power is disconnected
from the rear driving mechanism, be-
cause none of the transmission gears
are In mesh. y
The whole theory of gear shifting
may be summed up In the statement
that the two gears about to be meshed
should be revolved slowly and as
nearly as possible at the same rate
Of speed. If one is revolving much
faster than the other it is difficult to
shift without clashing.
How to Get Good Results.
1t is a mistake, for the above rea-
sons. to let the car gain too great a
speed before shifting, into higher
combination. The following method
will be found to give good results:
With the throttle closed and the
spark lever about halfway down the
quadrant, so that the engine idles
slowly, throw out the clutch and put
the gear shifting in f1rst-speed posi-
ton. Engage the clutch slowly, at
the same time pressing down on the
accelerator pedal gradually. Let the
car attain speed of about four or
five miles an hour and then throw out
the clutch, removing the right foot
entirely from the accelerator pedal.
Push the lever slightly forward into
neutral position, then clear to the
left and forward into second speed.
Let the clutch in gently, as before,
and accelerate the speed of the car
to about eight or ten miles an hour,
when the clutch should be again dis
engaged, the foot removed from the
accelerator and the gear shifting lev
er pulled straight back into high speed
position.
All Of these motions should be made
deliberately without haste.

HARD TO GET PROPER IDLINo
Trouble Usually Caused BY Spark
Plug Gap Being Too close-No
Fault Of Carburetor.

Owners of cars containing small
bore six-cylinder engines sometimes
complain Of the difficulty of obtaining
proper idling. The owner usually as
sumes that the carburetor is at fault.
AS matter of fact, the trouble is
usually caused by the, spark plug be-
ing set too close. This causes the
motor to roll when idling; with all the
symptoms Of loading. By increasing
the spark gaps and cleaning the plugs
the trouble will be. cured.

Reverse Sides.

After the rear tires have worn con-

The tractive strain on the rear wheels
makes it advisable to place new tires
on the rear wheels, moving the old

gained in this way.
