CARNEGIE Tech SHOWS
MARVEL OF ENGINEERING
Single Gear Shaft DefIes Hitler.
TO Known Mechanical Laws.

Pittsburgh, PA little piece of
steel mechanism in Machinery hall,
Carnegie Institute Of Technology, de.
fes all hitherto known laws In me-
chanical engineering and demonstrated
the Harvesting and application Of a
mechanical power apparently never be-
fore known.
The little power maker was simply
a section of cased shaft. The driving
end of the shaft, turned by a FIVE
horsepower motor. was speeded up to
1900 revolutions a minute. The other
end Of the shaft was turning at the
rate Of only five revolutions an hour
and developing power which it had
been impossible to measure. 1t has
been tested up to the lift Of twelve
tons. All this miracle in reduction in
speed and gain Of power is accom-
plished in single gear unit.
The new principle makes 1t possible
to do away with all the complicated
trains Of gears In automobiles, hoists,
air cOmpressOrs, rock breakers, belt
conveying machines, elevators. me-
chanical st0kers metal shearing and
punching machines and all others
where the main shafting or drive Is
run at high speed.
In its simplest form the new gear"
does not have a single cogwheel or
even a wheel with a single tooth.
One end Of the driving shaft Is
spigOted into the end Of the driven
shaft, turning tree in 1t ON ball bear
ings. Instead Of resting In a journal,
this driving or high-speed shaft on Its
outside circumference turns between
three or four rollers, one or two Of
which are larger than the others.
These rollers roll on the inside of a
steel ring, slightly on center. AS the
inner rollers turn on the high speed
shaft the outer ring becomes the driv-
ing gear. The difference in the dame
tiers Of the parts establishes the rate
Of reduction in speed and increase In
power.
The inventor Of the new gear il
George Smith Morrison, an Australian,
who Is new In Pittsburgh.

Art is where you find it, according
to an old saying. Los Angeles artists
and sculptors have been attracted by
series of faces and carvings seen in
the clay banks of hill near San Pc
dro, Cal.
Heads Of historical characters are
prominent, together with the heads OF
Indian chieftains. Above Is shown
Nicholas Sanders, a longshoreman,
who is one of the two sculptors whose
work on the clay cliffs has attracted
much comment. In the background
may be seen some Of the face carvings.

In honor Of the Shriners who
marched through Jersey City last
Saturday, Shriner streamers and
American flags were strung across
the line Of march. Some remained
up and the halliards upon which
they were hung were sagging from
the rain. On his way home from
school to luncheon Max discovered
that a ballard had become SO
loosened that the American flag
was lying on the boulevard.
One end of the line to which the
flag and streamers were attached
was tied high in a three, the other
end was tied to an electric light
pole on the opposite side Of the
street. Up the tree went Max. I'm
tying the knot, he wound the rope
around his fingers preparatory to
taking up the slack.

in an agony of pain.

passing. One dashed off after Mrs.
Spidell's car, while the other sum

Max to the hospital, where his

SOFT DRINKS IN
GREATER USE
THAN EVER
Most Elavors Are limitations,
But Are Not Dangerous
to Health.

The soft drinks consumed in this

large that it is hard to conceive OF
such a volume of varicolored and
variflavored waters. If our last
years supply had been available to
Methusaleh at the beginning OF his
alleged 900 years he would have had
eight bottles to dispose of every min
ute OF his mortal span. The cold
figures estimated by statisticians tell
us that each year thirsty Americans
consumed 1900, 900 900 bottles of soft
drinks, and this total does not in
clude beverages, such as near beer,
made from cereals.
This enormous rst-quenching In
dustry is a relatively recent develop
ment, result of the rapid CONNER
cializing OF the discoveries OF the
chemist. 1t was not 80 long ago
when bottled sodas were universally
known as pop and found their prin-
cipal market at baseball games. fairs
and carnivals. These clear, watery
drinks with a flavor usually sug-
gestive of overripe bananas, were
good thirst killers. but provided little
delectation for the palate. Had no.

tional vice commander before election
to his present post as head of the or

is Georgian and went to France
early in 1918 as a firs lieutenant of
an infantry regiment. Gle saw active
service from the beginning of the
American offensive on the western
front until a few weeks before the
armistice was signed. While fighting
in the Argonne just previous to the
conclusion of hostilities he was seri-
ously wounded and for six months
was laid up in hospitals. When he
finally returned home he took up the
study of law in the University of
Georgia. After completing his course
he taught for time in the law de-
partment of the Georgia School of
Technology and then took up the prac-
tice of his profession.
