Refined Gas And
 Oil Appetite Is
 APperson Quality

The Apperson has the refined gas appetite of a good four and its eight small cylinders pour out the smooth felxible power that everybody wants . says T. E. Jarrard, vice president of Apperson Bros. automobile company of Kokomo. Ind.
 Throughout their 27 years of in tensive motor development, the Ap- person people have made no more solid contribution to car advancement than in perfecting their present eight. And the idea expressed in the words the eight with 80 less parts is at the bottom of this motors success. We have reduced the eight to bare driving parts plus the fewest and most effective pieces of mdkal for handling the gas and spark so as to make each drop of fuel deliver the utmost force behind those driving parts. By eliminating unnecessary mechanism we have dropped lot of friction, lost motion, inertia and power waste, overheard. That's why the Apperson eight is not only fully flexible, but is thrifty as a good four. It is simply two very small, highly refined fours merged into one unit at the base"

ems turned to card index. For years we have compiled dope on gears for all cars. It's all right here We wouldn take thousand dollars for what that cabinet contains. It enables us to be certain. We guar antee against mistakes. It has taken years to accumulate that data re- latlng to practically every make and model
 Gears are not as simple d propo- sition as the public imagines. Here are volumes about them, with more Ks Y's and Z's and enough trigom- erty and algebra and geometry to puzzle the average college graduate. Trig. is necessary in laying out de- sign for generating set of gears which operate on the mathematical principle of rolling cones"
 Welding in broken teeth? That's another notion some people have. It isn't practica ble. The 3 big manu- lecturers who make the gears for nearly all cars, have immense ovens in which these gears are heat treated and they have skilled workmen who know exactly the amount of carbon in the metal so as to temper them scientifically. If too hard, the teeth chip off; if to soft they bend and wear.

Iears Seem To Be Most In Demand
 Of All Car Parts

nat auto part is most in demand :? UT an answer to this question 2lanager Slavens of the Arizona Auto arts company at 432 to 440 West Auams street had the following to say:
 sSears seemed to hold first place hu particularly ring gears and pin Iohs- AS every auto owner knows, sometimes to his grief, there's a set gears in the rear axle of every car through which the power is transmitted to the rear wheels. One DIE gear called the master gear or ring gear. and one small one called the pinion."
 More mistakes are made on these two gears" said John Slavens, man aser or the company, that on any tuner part. Most people come in and call ror-say-a Buick light six ring gear. They don't stop to think that mere are several different ratios and tnat the ratio must be the same as the pinion it must mesh with. Then there are others-even some garage men-who will take the gear if it is bulck light six and the the same ratio It may be all this and yet be absolutely wrong. The gears, besides having the same ratio, must have the same pressure angle.
 Then again, a ring gear may have the same ratio, same pressure angle. same bore, same number of rivet holes. and yet differ slightly in size VT, again, ring gear and pinion to- gether may have the same ratio, same pressure angle and al1-and differ in the bore of the pinion, so that it would fail to fit the shaft.
 That's why we keep this" Slav-

Oil Pumping Easy
 To Remedy Say
 Local Garage Men

Remedying oil troubles on a car may be a hard job for some me- chanics, but Arney and Bowen who recently took over the shop of Harry Creswell, say that 1t is like falling off a log" A car owner recently drove into the garage with the state ment that he had been all over town trying to get his engine reformed on the oil pumping question. While it is doubtless true that he might have been in few places in the city, still by reason of the fact that there are many mechanics in the city who are keen on stopping oil trouble, Arney doubted his story. However, he per ceived immediately that the car was pumping oil like a Ranger gusher, and with Bowen to help him they went to work on the rebellious car.
 In the course of a short time the engine responded nobly, the cylinders remaining free and clear of oil and carbon and the owner. filled with joy, departed with his mount.
 Its all in a lifetime" said Arney afterward. Lots of motorists are running around here with cars which burn as much oil as they do gasoline. Many of them have experimented with forty 1eevn different kinds of piston rings, and all the while the trouble increased. We have yet to find a case of oiling trouble that we cannot fix and fix satisfactorily

 BOYS WHO KNOW HOW TO RAISE FUNDS

In one of our smaller inland cities an enterprising band of boys has formed what is known as the Camp club" From small beginnings 1t has grown to membership of over 40. This year they decided to have as headquarters cabin, modelled on the rest hut of the war zone. They built the hut themselves, but even then found it cost great deal and they were left without money for furnish ing. So they gave an entertainment In it to raise funds and call atten- ton to their needs. Among other things, they had a long table, on which was spread the indispensable outfit of rest hut, enameled ware cups. mugs. plates, saucers, every thing comprised in the official equip ment of the real war rest hut This was loaned by local dealer. A large sign over the table read, We need these. Who will give us a cup?' The sight of the cups and the boys proved an irresistible combination, and before the evening was over the cooking and table equipment was se- cured. Other furnishings being more expensive came more slowly. but the rest hut Is becoming more attractive week by week.-Brooklyn Daily

HAS A PLAN FOR
 FRIDAY-JUST NEEDS
 CO-EPERATION NOW

This is a letter from real, red blooded American boy, who has an actual plan for what he wants to do.
 It Is boys like this who grow up to be successful men--because they think up actual ways of ':putting things across" This chap is ready to try something for the sake of his neighborhood. and his pals-and al- ready outlines full o-rails.
 This is his idea of getting down to business with Mir. Woodward: Dear Friend" he writes to his Aunt
 Ann.
 T would like to get up baseball nine Friday afternoon and go to Redwood park. and have game of baseball. ] would like to play second base or shortstop. Then it would be nice to have MT. Rick Woodward offer to let us have the bats, balls, mits, masks, gloves and the other things of the players. And then to have game and let the people pay to come to see it and with the money we get to organize a baseball club to play other clubs.

Who Wants to Help Little Sick Children Of Birmingham

 So why cant The Age-Herald g children get busy and do something helpful like this too? Out at Seaside home, in Far Rockaway,s New York, the Childrens Aid society took care of hundreds and thousands of babies all summer long.

THREE-YEE9-OLD
 MUST CHOOSE NAME

It's rather embarrassing to be go- ing through life without name, even if you possess an adorable mamma and papa; but that's the pre- dicament of 3-year-old miss, who son liner Buckeye State. She Is the daughter of Lieut.. and Mrs. F. N. Pugsley of Honolulu.
 To name their baby girl has been task of three years standing with the parents. Lieutenant Pugsleys who has been stationed with the United States navy for two years at Earl harbor, wanted Mrs. Pugs!cy to do the naming. She refused to as- sume the responsibility, passing the honor back to her husband.
 Nothing doing" said Lieutenant ppgsley. Suppose when she grows up she doesn't like it, then I'll be blamed"
 well, that's how I feel about it." rejoined Mrs. Pugsley.
 So there the question rests-that is. it will until "Pugsley," as both parents address their daughter, at tains an age where she can aelect her own name.
 Lieutenant Pugsley has been trans ferred to the Mare Island Naval hos pital. He said the government hos pital at Pearl harbor is one of tho finest in the world. Nearly 1000 pa- tients can be accommodated there at once. and there is now an average of 100 inmates there day. The hospi- tai grounds cover 40 acres and the buildings are the most p-to-date in the world, he said.-San Francisco Chronicle.

 The plan provides for thoro ugh physical examination for each child before entering school, individualized health training through the grades, fostering of games and athletics, health teaching and better co-opera- tion between doctors, parents, nurses and children.-Exchange
