MOTOR CAR DESIGNING
The Engineer Has Important Problems
To Solve.

The Engineer Has Important Problems
To Solve.
Designing car that will meet with
popular favor is no easy task An
automobile engineer must consider a
great many things before he can turn
out product that will meet the APP
prevail of thousands of motor car buy
ers 1t is certainly most particular
task" maintains G. Howard Noyes,
local Durant dealer.
Catering to the requirements of
millions of people the world over is
what the automobile engineer has to
construct with precision. He has
many things to ponder over in his pre-
liminary work before getting his car
under way.
Primarily, the engineer must build
car that will render service, be COM
mented upon favorably, and guarantee
steady demand. In short, it must
make good in every possible way. The
design must represent the best
thoughts and ideas gained from ex-
perience, and the material specified
must measure up to the requirements
in minute detail.
For instance, in planning the chas-
sis, there must be balance everywhere
True relationship must exist between
the motor and the clutch; between the
clutch and the transmission; and be-
tween the transmission and the sdriv-
ing unit. A correct distribution Of
weight throughout is necessary. and
there must be incorporated certain
rigidity which tends to keep the body
solid and free from strain and squeaks
THE total weight must be consid-
ered too. car too light is dangerous
on the road, while one that is too
. heavy, cuts deep into the expense &C.
count, The weight must be proper
toned to the power of the motor and
the capacity of the car, in order to as
sure the longest tire life and fuel con-
sumption. The careful engineer never
loses sight Of these important items

The death of Capt. Isaac Somes de-
moves another of the prominent citi-
zens Of this town, and a member of
one of the old families whose name
has long been associated with this
section. Capt. Somes was born here
seventy-six years ago, a son of those
early settlers, Daniel and Sally
Somes. At the early age of twelve,
he shipped on a vessel, and at the
age of sixteen had reached a cap
'tain's berth. For several years he fol-
lowed the sea, and then, when the
seafaring life proved too strenuous
for his health, he retired. For sew
eral years he was caretaker Of
Brookside cemetery, one of the
beauty spots Of this section, in which
he took great pride. He was an
exemplary citizen and loyal friend,
and will be missed and mourned.
He was charter member of Mt.
Desert lodge, F. and A. M. He leaves
widow, one daughter, Mrs. Georgia
Somes Smith of this place, two sons,
William, of this place, and Andrew
of Hardwick, VT, one brother, Ly-
man, of South Lincoln, Mass, and
two sisters, Mrs. Ida Downing Of

peace plans with the receipt o re-
ports Of the failure OF Indiana and

may result from the conference.
which reconvenes tomorrow after

Pres't John l.. Lewis OF the miners
announced that the joint conference
would reassemble TO open negotia-

whether the miners would be willing
TO make a wage agreement with the
operators now here was undecided.
and Indications were that a decision
would be deferred until after the
afternoon meeting tomorrow with
the operators, most OF whom own
mines IN Ohio. A few operators
also are here from Pennsylvania.

Partial Peace Possible.
While the number Of OPERATOR
here for the conference was increas-
ed today, no official vote has been
taken OF the coal output controlled
by them. and in its absence the un-
ion had referred decision on
whether 20 proceed with a partial
peace program.
Confidence, however. was expires
sed by some operators and union
leaders that the number Of opera
tors willing 10 make a settlement
was sufficient 20 insure a break I'm

operators were expected TO Join in
