Judge Eastman announced he would
enter an order restraining them from
disposing of any of their property
until further notice.
Decision on the question of appoint

company will be rendered today, he
said. This ruling, it was said, also
would involve a decision on the re-
quest that the Crane Ohio Ice Cream

Termination of the case came un-

that it would be necessary to hear
more testimony. Harrison had been
ordered to produce records to show
the state of his finances. Benham
had been requested to bring into
court contents of two safety deposit
boxes. Neither had done so. Judge
Eastman ordered Harrison to bring
to him his financial records.

There are several units in the me-
chanieal makeup of the motor car,
about which even veteran motor car
drivers know little. The universal
joint is one of these mysterioes
units. Perhaps It is the very perfec-
8 ton of the joint that makes it so
nearly unknown. The universal
joint is one of the hardest working
parts in the chassis and yet it sell
dom gives trouble. therefore the or
binary naotorist knows little about IT..
The universal joints are those
units which are attached to the pro-
speller shaft of your car and enable
that shaft to transmit the power to
the rear axle and at the same time
move up and down sideways, de-
pending on the action of the rear
axle. The axle being directly at
tached TO the wheels which are on
the ground and the engine clutch
and transmission being on the frame
which is supported by the springs,
the connection between the power
plant and axle must be flexible.
That is why they put universal
joints on>the propeller shaft. These
joints allow universal movement or
movement in any directions Accord
ing to tests made on Sp.cer joints,
these will average SO per cent eff
