Construction Of the new Oliver
Ave. and Kentucky Ave. bridges
may be halted, because the city has
spent the money appropriated for
the bridges to buy land, county
Auditor Harry Dunn said today.
Joseph L. Hogue, city controller,
has visited Dunn with a plea that
the county appropriate or borrow
another $175,O00 to give the city so
work can go on. Hogue said the
city has. only $4,000 left in the
fund to pay what it still owes. more
than $15O,O00.
The mix-up is due to charges of
county councilmen that the city
wasted approximately S175,000 in
buying land for the bridge ap-
proaches, far from the bridges at
artificial prices. The county refused
to appropriate the money. but the
board of works bought the land
anyhow.
Bridge Estimates
The two bridges together were
estimated to cost S1,122 1886. The
city and county each were to pay
As per cent. and property benefited
10 per cent. The bridges are part
Of the flood prevention scheme.
Trouble arose when the county re-
fused to join in purchasing a strip
of land along the east bank of the
river, which the city claims is neces-
sary to proper approaches for the
bridges. The strip extends north
towards Kingan & Co.
County councilmen charged the
city is paying three times the value
Of the land, and that it is not neces-
sary to buy it at all.
Used Bridge Money
Here is the pickle the city now
finds itself in." said Dunn. 1T went
ahead and used the bridge money
to buy this land, wasting the tax
payers money to purchase some
dumps. and now there is no money
left to pay for the bridges. The city

Parents on Train

Inc parents possibly do not know.
They are speeding to New York from
where they intended to so to New
London. They will reach New York
late this afternoon. Newspapers
there will tell them their sons are
dead.
Back in the pretty little home at
4O71 College Ave-, Mrs. Charles G.
Frady. 1920 e. Washington St.,
had the sad task Of telling the three
little sisters that they would never
see their brothers alive again.
II can't tell them-I just can't"
she said. Regina 10, and Helen IL,
went to school as usual. Katherine
13, remained at home.
They, too, shared the faith and
hope of their parents that the laos
would be saved.
The parents left for New York at
10 p. m. Monday.
That was before news came that
the hull OF the submarine had been
penetrated by divers, practically wip-
ing out all hope that any of the
crew are alive.
"Why l can just see Billy come
up laughing and saying: '0h, that's
Just another adventure MOm,' And
he'd go down the next day." said
the mother.
The fathers faith faItered a little.
81 hope OF course" he said. But
one must look the facts i'm the face.
Things seem TO be against us-the
storm which has delayed the rescue
work. The chances seem simmer.

do not reach my boys i'm time, we
shall bury them in BroOklyn-in
Greenwood cemetery. My only con.
ISOLATION is that they died in the per.
fOrmance of their duty. My brave
boys" And the father turned away.
The mother, in the long. terrible
hours preceding the decision to go
east, would take no rest, but wanted
to talk-not sadly-about the things
the twins had done and said in the
past.

Mr.. Henry called attention to a
law passed by the State of California
declaring speed trap evidence in

This Is a very proper and progress

States adopted it the problem would
be largely solved. In most cases the
constable Is out TO encourage viola

will often hog the road with his own
car in order to annoy passing vehicles
and after they pass him reveal his
identity.

No. 117-Studying the Unversals.


Having learned that a universal
joint Is not necessarily popular road
house, Smith was ready to lift up the
floor boards of his car and consider
one Of It's most essential units. There
was another reason. however. for his
sudden interest in these neglected
parts. From under the body there
was coming g. shrill noise, and a me-
chanic had prescribed generous and
immediate greasing Of the universals.
1.-The thing l can't understand.
said Smith, lis that we have not con-
sidered these parts before. I've al
ways had the car thoroughly creased,
and l suppose that is why I've never
been troubled with dry universals.
But you didn't even caution me
against taking my car TO n shop
where they might overlook the uni
varsals."
THAT is explained" I replied. by
the fact that my car is equipped with
what are known as fabric universal
joints. They need no grease. My
mind Ia at ease about them, and quite
naturally / forgot to remind you that
yours were of the metal type.
Good and Bad Points.
smith Immediately complained be-
cause he did not have the greaseless
type.
'.You see. everything has it's good
and bad points. That's the way with
the two general types of universais.
The fabric type. being simply a fabric
disc TO which the moving parts of
the drive line are attached, does not
require grease. but needs replacing
after certain number of miles Of
use. The metal type Is supposed to
last long, provided greasing is regu-
- Il holt =
a stronger type OF construction.
"One Of the cars drove went $4,000
miles with a fabric joint between the
clutch and the amidships transmits
sion. That was not strictly a uni
versal joint, though 1t did serve to
transmit power In an indirect line
when the car went over very rough
roads. But It will give you an idea
of what a fabric joint Will do.
with any old type OF Joint, two
things must be considered when esti-
mating length of service. 1t depends
upon the materials used as well as
upon the ability of the driver TO help
the universals perform satisfactorily.
The latter point is not always appre-
ciated.
Universal joints not only take the
strain of twisting. known as torque.
but, in addition, must be free TO take
this strain on various angles. ROVER
Is transmitted whether the rear axle
is down in a ditch or on the level
And because there Is often a whip
ping effect of the propeller shaft the
universal joints frequently have a
horizontal angle of power transmits
sion to take care of as Well"
One OF the things Smith could see
when greasing the universals himself
was that due to their rotation and pro
vision made for the release of lubri
cant that had become so thin as to
be useless. there was considerable loss
of lubricant. particularly in hot
weather. This led logically TO another
point.
I'm designing metal universal
joints i explained, there seem TO
be two separate schools Of thought.
Some engineers adopt joints which
hold very little grease and which are
quite exposed. while others cover the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-09-27

joints either in metal shells or in
leather boots. sometimes using both
types of covers for one joint. The
first school apparently believes In al
lowing the thinned lubricant to fly
off. while the second school does not
place so much importance on the
matter of keeping fresh lubricant IN
the joints.
Source of Chassis Noise.
Your unlversals are OF the exposed
type, which means thai you must
grease them more often. Besides, in
this particular type there are three
places to grease. each joint. Two
points are provided with connections
for a high pressure grease gun, while
the third is provided simply with a
plug. Many owners forget to remove
the plug and grease the collar on the
joint. Failure to attend to this may
mean the development of u chassis
noise, n sort of groan, that will puZ-
gle the best mechanics and trouble
shooters.
But the main thing for You to
keep in mind Is the relation between
your driving and the service you Will
get from the universals. Every time
you let In the clutch with a jerk the
universals are strained. Every time
you insist upon running along at low
speed in high gear with the engine
bucking the joints are being dam
aged. Sudden acceleration Is another
sure means of universal wear
Much of the looseness or play in
a car that is growing old can be traced
to worn universals. When wear does
occur through normal use YOU can
prevent further excessive wear by
keeping them fabricated with hard
grease at all times. The grease acts
as u cushion
Smith asked why some cars have
only front universal, the one just
behind the transmission. | explained
that this generally WAS regulated by
the type of drive in the car. In
Hotchkiss drive, where the motion Of
the driving wheels Is impaired to the
body and chassis through the springs,
the extra flexibility of the rear uni
versal joint is needed. Where there
is a brace between the rear axle and
the frame at the transmission, or =
torque tube. the rear universal joint
is eliminated, since the driving mem
bers are supposed to lie rigid at that
point.

posits.

MOTORISTS URGED
TO BUY CAREFULLY
A. A. A. Suggests Larger
Purchases of Gasoline
and Other Supplies.

Believing that better methods in
purchasing supplies would aid the mo-
torist to better results in the operation
of his car. the American Automobile
Association is suggesting to members
the ACCESSIBILITY of exercising greater
discretion in buying gasoline. both
while in the city and while touring.
Ernest n. Smith. general manag
Of the American Automobile Associa-
ton. says that much carhuretor trou-
BILE from watered and dirty gas can
be traced to lax purchasing methods,
and suggests the following as a guide
to the motorist who would put his
purchasing of supplies on a better
basis and avoid trouble:
Buy gas In larger quantities from
garages and filling stations which are
known to be thoroughly reliable or
which have arrangements with the
club for special service. Buy small
quantities from unknown wayside
pumps. and then only in cases CT
necessity.
ASIDE from the advantage of filling
up the tank with clean gasoline. 1T
minimiZes the possibility of collecting
sediment by not opening the gas tank
SO many times. Every time the cap
is removed the chances of dirt getting
into the tank are increased. and there
Is also the increase IN the process or
chipping off pieces Of metal when
the nozzle of the hose is TANNED into
the filler pipe.
IAN gasoline pumps are subject to
Inaccuracies. all hoses are subject to
scaling and all tanks are subject to
water dilution. The car owner 8
chances Of being the sufferer from
any OF these unavoidable causes are
greatly decreased by reducing the
number of visits to gasoline pumps"
In addition Mr.. Smith suggests to
local motorists the thought that fewer
trips and larger purchases at the fill
ing stations make the car owner more
particular about where he does bust
ness and allows for a natural gravita-
ton Of trade to the more reliable and
progressive gas dealers. who deserve
patronage.

Industry Menace
Seen in Retention
OF Excise Tax

1t is a dangerous precedent for
industry to retain the Federal war
excise taxes on motor vehicles, in
the opinion OF Alfred Reeves, gem
eral manager of the National Au-
tomobile Chamber Of Commerce.
1T is a hazardous practice to
have any one industry or group
of industries singled out for spe-
cial taxation" declared Mr.. Reeves.
"If this were permitted to con-
tinue no industry would be safe
from the oratory of the dema-
gogue who might wish to lay
special levy upon ii. The current
Federal taxes on motor vehicles
were imposed during the war as Il
wartime measure. Since there is
4 large surplus in the Federal
Treasury, 1t is now practicable as
we'll as matter of justice and
equity that these taxes be re-
moved"
