SURVEY DISCLOSE
LARGE FIELD FOR
EXTENSION WORK.
Urban League Executive En-
couraged by Prospects
in West.

New York, July 17.-Eugene Kin
ckle Jones. Executive Secretary OF
the National Urban League, has just
returned to New York after 1900
mile trip to Pacific Coast cities where
he Investigated the social conditions
among Negroes and inspected work
of the Urban League in cities Of the
Middle West.
While en- route, he visited Denver,
where the National Conference Of So
cial Work. of which he is the sonly
colored member Of the Executive
Board, held its annual meeting.
From Denver Mr.. Jones visited Los
Angeles, where there is a thriving
Urban League. supported by the Com
munity Chest to the extent Of $11,-
800. San Diego, San Francisco, Oak
land, Portland and Seattle. He found
a Negro population of 1900 in Port
land, of 1000 in Seattle and San
Francisco, Oakland 10000 and San
Diego 3,600-all fertile fields for Or
ban League work.
Mr.. Jones states that the league
further plans to stimulate interest In
the Urban Leagues plan Of organiza-
ton in these coast cities.
In Minneapolis Mr.. Jones address
ed the students of the Department Of
Sociology of the University Of Min
nesota and in st. Paul spoke on the
subject of 'The Negro in the North"
from Radio Station wCCO. maintain
ed by the Washburn, Crosby Flour
Mills in cooperation with the Cham
bers of Commerce Of st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Mr.. Jones also address
ed Urban League mass meetings in
st. Paul and Minneapolis where the
Minneapolis Urban League was for
mally launched with Mr.. A. L. Har-
ris, former Fellow" of the league
and teacher at the West Virginia
Collegiate Institute, as Executive
Secretary.
The Urban League is now support
ed by community chests in twenty
cities. There are twenty-nine Urban
Leagues with Offices and staffs, re-
quiring the expenditure this year in
the neighborhood of 100000. in
cluding the Budget Of the national
office.
In speaking Of the National Con-
ference of Social Work. Mr.. Jones
states that in his opinion this organ
ization Is one of the most democratic
national movements in America. In
addition to having set speeches on
the Negro by three colored persons.
there were two important addresses
by prominent white members Of the
conference, on the Menace Of Ra-
cial and Religious Intolerance.
Throughout the conference there was
woven into the fabric of the discus
sion thread of racial interest which
indicated that the more than 5000
delegates there were thoroughly
aroused to the importance Of devel-
oping better relations in interracial
contacts that our democratic institu-
tions may be preserved.

when he carried the story to me.
The engine delivers a driving force
which travels to the rear axle in the
form of rotational force. This is
transferred to the rear wheels through
the rear aXles. AS the wheels turn
they carry their axles and axle hous-
ing with them. Now. then, do these
wheels drag the engine, frame and
body after them or push them?"
1t was obvious to Smith that the
wheels pushed.
THE way this pushing force is
transmitted varies widely with the de-
sign of the car" | explained to him.
"On some makes there are heaving
driving members which connect the
rear axle housing with the frame at
some point near the transmission. On
one car there is what is known as a
torque tube, which incloses the pinion
gear and propeller shaft. 1t conveys
the driving force from the rear axle
housing TO the transmission case and
frame in the same manner as the
brace used on other ears. Still an
other way is to run torSion rods from
the ends of the rear axle housing TO
the frame amidships or to the trans
mission case. On the Ford there is a
bracing arrangement for the front
axle as we'll. You have probably
heard motorists refer TO this as the
'Wishbone.'
Now. the interesting part of the

much work to do, making it difficult
to keep a sufficient amount of lubri-
cant between the spring leaves and
| placing a heavy burden upon the
spring bolts, especially the ones for
the forward ends of the rear springs.
Strange Engine Strains.
1.-The third objection is more tech
| nical, and is, perhaps, the least i'm
| portant for the man who uses q car
for only a few years. With the en-
gine and propeller shaft spinning
| around in one direction, the whole car
tends to revolve. If the shafts could
be stopped the tendency would be for
the engine and car to revolve about
them. This sets UP strange strains in
the engine and chassis, and these
strains must be taken care of If car
Is to remain in perfect alignment for
a long time. The springs of Hotch-
| kiss-driven car will often show the re
suits of these strains in the way the
leaves slip out of line. But experience
has shown that by the time this hap.
pens the average car has been sub
jected to many far more serious
| strains.
IF you were to ask any fair-minded
manufacturer or mechanic, / think he
would tell you that the biggest point
in car ownership is to understand the
design of the car you drive. This puts
the Hotchkiss drive in a different
| light. 1t means that if you understand
it and keep the springs and shackles
tight and well fabricated you can get
a very easy ride at all times. 1t means
! that If you do not take care OF some
of the torsion tubes and rods you will
| have your troubles.
! Smith concluded that, like the au-
tomobile, he, too. was pushed. He eX-
nerienced sensation of having been
pushed on to newer and greater con-
quests of his car.

'OUTDR|V|NG' RULES
DECLARED MENACE
Assuming Too Much Held
Cause of Accidents in
Many Instances.

Outdriving traffic regulations, de-
Clared to be a new menace in motor
ing, is branded as an increasing cause
of automobile accidents by Ernest ~
Smith, general manager of the Amer
lean Automobile Association.
BY outdriving traffic regulations, it
Is explained is meant the habit of
driving a car on the assumption that
what isn't seen, or what hasn't hap
pened, will be entirely favorable.
Mr.. Smith places the new hazard in
a class with the habit of outdriving
brakes and headlights. In the case of
headlights, he points out. the habit is
to assume that if the road is clear
within the area Illuminated there will
be no immediate danger just beyond.
The newest evil in driving is the
practice Of outdriving the traffic regu-
lations and directions" says Mr..
Smith. observation made at prinCi-
pal points about the city show there
is a pronounced tendency to take too
much for granted. If the automobile
driver sees the StOp-go sign turned in
his favor he assumes no pedestrians
will get into his way. In other words,
Evening star., 1925-11-08

whole subject is that a large number
of successful makes of cars do not
have any such devices at all, the
drive or push being handled by the
springs. When springs are run at
right angels to the aNles and are
Joined to the frame by means of
shackles, they become torsion rods.
Where springs run parallel with the
axles, however, this arrangement
isn't possible. If you tried to design a
car this way the body would drag
behind the wheels and everything
would either twist out of shape or
break.
Hotchl1iss Design Simple.
"Those who favor the Hotchkiss
type of drive have a good argument
in that this design is simple. Nothing
is added to the car, rather many
things are taken off. Torsion devices
have to be kept tight, and in some
arrangements they have to be lubri-
Gated where a movable connection is
provided But, despite it's outstanding
advantage, the Hotchkiss drive is
severely criticized for it's Inconsistency.
One of the most prominent car de-
signers has publicly announced that
the Hotchkiss drive must go.
1T is interesting to analyze his rea.
sons. In the first place he doesn't
like the way a Hotchkiss-d driven car
changes its wheelbaSe. If you stand
behind a Hotchkiss-driven car when
the driver is starting, you will see the
hind springs compress in very char
acteristic way the moment the clutch
is engaged. During this starting
process the front wheels tend to re-
main at rest. the rear wheels creeping
ahead little until the springs get
ready to transmit the push to the car.
This shortens the wheelbase. When
the brakes are applied the exact op-
posite occurs.
The second objection is that in
taking the drive as we'll as the road
shocks, the springs have entirely too

No. I23-HotchISiss Driven Cars.

Many experiences had befallen
Smith since he first learned that
Hotchkiss drive means transmitting
the driving force of the engine to the
frame and body through the springs.
There was something about the sim
plicity of the system that intrigued
him into wanting TO look deeper into
the subject. 1t is possible. too. that
he was forced into the subject again
when a friend asked him If he knew
whether an automobile was pushed or
pulled.
Smith, unlike several other motor
lists who overheard this inquiry at the
garage, was not inclined TO laugh it
off. The fellow was asking the ques-
tion in all seriousness.
Your car is pushed l told Smith
Evening star., 1925-11-08

he proceeds to drive faster than the
possibilities warrant.
Just because Il traffic officer waves
to a motoriSt to come on is no reason
why the speed of the car should he
too fast for a quick and safe stop
should any other vehicles disregard
the officers directions.
The situation is identically the
same as driving in such a way as to
require the brakes TO work perfectly
for every stop. There is no provision
for providing a suitable margin of
safety"

THE OLD WEST SURVIVES

The evidence is stronger each sea
son that the Stampede, the Rodeo,
the Roundup, or whatever name is
given to reproductions of the Old
West, not only survives as a popular
form of recreation and entertain
ment, but is steadily increasing its
hold on the public. Cowboy shows
of various calibres have sprung up
like mushrooms through the West
and as far as Chicago. A combina-
ton of Wild West and Rodeo per-
formanoe was even, pulled off in
staid old London last year. "My
eyev but it gave the Johnny Bulls
a thrill.
The Rodeos that are properly
equipped and managed will survive
for a long time to come. The rea-
son, the psychology, if you please,
back of their popularity is not diff
Acult to understand. Their chief
events, riding, roping, subduing and
conquering-represent e IS,
struggles, battles, of the sort the
men and women who first populated
the West were compelled to wage.
1t is real, genuine, honest-to-God
effort such as enters, one way or
another, into all the worthwhile
accomplishments of life.
Anybody can get away with the
soft things of life but it takes the
strength, the skill, the intestinal STAN
ina, the courage, possessed by real
men and women to meet and over
come obstacles-tackle the tough
propositions and win, if possible, or
lose with a grin if things break that
way.

SEN. SCHNITZLER IN TOWN

Senator J. w. Schnitzler and Mr..
Wallander are in the city today
from Froid on business with the
county board. He says the hot
weather has done serious damage to
the wheat crop in his section of the
county.
The senator and his family re-
turned last Saturday from an east
ern tour which included Montreal,
New York City and Washington. He
says the east is a network of ma
cadamized highways that would
make motoring a pleasure were it
not for the excessive amount of traf-
fc. At many places he says that it
is simply a procession of ears going
each way. Getting through the
streets Of New York City in a car
is nothing less than a fight and a
hazardous fight at that. Five hun
dred miles was not an unusual dis
lance for a days travel.

The Stampede committee
American Legion and business men
of Wolf Point wish to express their
appreciation for the large patronage
perhaps % per cent larger than
yer before which attended all the
programs. 1t has been the wish of
the committee and of the city of
Wolf Point to extend a most cor
dial greeting to the strangers who
came to our gates this week. We
sincerely hope that they left not
feeling as strangers but as one of
us. You are all most heartily in
vited to come back next summer and
bring your friends with you to wit
ness the Sixth Annual Wolf Point
Stampede which we hope to make
bigger and better than ever before.
And to the performers in the
events the committee wishes to ex-
tend its thanks. Only real he-men
and red blooded women have enter
ed the contests and every one of
them has done their level best to
show to the vast audiences the true
spirit of the Old West as it was in
the early days. The performers
often risked life and limb to demon
strate their part of the work and to
them in a great measure is due the
exceptionally great success of the
Fifth Annual Wolf Point Stampede.

FIRST WOLF POINT DAILY

During the three days of the
Stampede the first daily paper ever
issued in Wolf Point appeared on
the streets of the city. 1t was a four
page sheet published by the Herald
and filled with up to the minute
Stampede news and other items of
vital interest to the community. It's
appearance created considerable
favorable comment and many copies
were mailed by the visitors to friends
and relatives in other places. Tt
very evidently filled a need for that
time and was published solely in the
best interests of the Stampede.

STEADILY MOVING INTO TOWN

The farm population of the Unit.
ed States decreased approximately
$4,000 during 1924, according to
estimates based on a survey of rs,
900 representative farms made re-
Gently by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. This is a
drop of 6 per cent during that year,
the estimated farm population on
January 1, 1925, being 81, 1884, 900
compared with 81, 316, 900 on Jan
uary 1, 1924. This estimate includ-
es not only the agricultural work
ers, but all men, women and child
rem living on farms on that date.
The movement from farms to cit
ties, towns and villages in 1924 is
estimated at 2,O75, 900; the move
ment to farms was 1896, 900 MAX
ing a net movement from the farm
population of $4,000 persons, or
2.2 per cnt. Births among the farm
population during 1924 are estimat-
ed at 10000 and deaths at 266,
900 leaving a natural %incresase of
497, 200 which was reduced the loss
due to cityward movement to 1872,
900 or g per cent.
A similar estimate made in 1922
showed a loss in farm population of
10000 as against $4,000 in 1924.
The gross movement from farms to
cities in 1922 was 1000, 600 COM
pared to 2,075,0OO in 1924 slight
increase. The gross movement
back to the farms in 1922 was $50,

a decided increase. The net move
ment from farms to cities in 1922
was 100000 or 3. 6 per cent and
in 1924, $4,000 or % per cent.
Two geographic divisions, the
New England and South Atlantic
States, showed a net increase in
farm population for the year of
1924, of g per cent and 2 per cen,
respectively. All other divisions
showed decreases. the Mountain
States leading with a loss of 2.8 per
cent.
The decrease in farm population
due to the cityward movement,
not taking into account births or
deaths, was highest in the Noun
tain States 4.3 per cent. followed
by the Pacific and West South Cen
