ALONE ON GUARD
BY JOHN BoULDIN.

The night was stlll.
The stars shone clear.
But the sky shone forth an inl1y blair;
The herd lay still, quiet it's breath,
Like a young babe pressed to it's
mothers breast;
A slight breeze rippled on the noun
tain crest
The great tall pines that seemed at
rest,
And the wind rushed down to the flats
below
And we stopped and wondered what
this night held in stow.
The sky darkened and the stars went
out
And left us alone with our mind in
doubt.
A great light flashed across the sky
AS if trying, to paint hell close by.
The crashing thunder seemed quite
nigh
Then the herd was up and gone on
the fly.
For the run was on as you would
know.
So 1 must hold those cattle where ere
they go
To gex to the lead with all top speed
But Who is there to see the deed?
As the lightning flashed and the thun-
der crashed
Just one misstep of the steed you ride
And you alone, on that midnight ride.
The lightning Kissed and the thunder
ratified
Striking terror again to the fear
stricken cattle.
They are gone again like the speed
of the wind
And you begin to wonder where this
will end.
There is no buddy standing shoulder
to shoulder
With an encouraging word when it
is. time to go over;
No word do you hear but the swish
OF the rain
Or the moon. of the wind like a
human in pain,
AS the brave horse bears you without
touch of the rein
On, on the lead to gain.
AS the artillery of the heavens pours
it's wrath

AS the mac brutes try their best to

And you alone. on this wild night ride
Have tried your best to stem that
tide,
But the help YOU go from conscience,
duty ami pride
Stops for you that maddening tide.
The run is over, the long night done
And how you % welcome the bright
rising sun.
Old nature is lavish in her beauty
astir
The dew drops sparkle from the suns
bright rays
And starts alonsE one more happy day.
Vow all you old cowboys who might

You know that thers is not one word

The association plans to make the
pageant an annual affair to be held
at points of interest in the state

The $4,000 pageant will comprise
four epochs which will colorfully de-

with a change of costume and action;

of government land at Cast Grande.
All the appeal of Arizona, of tho
desert, of it's ancient ruins, will be
presented to the eastern tourist, for
whom accommodations will be made at
the scene of the pageant and civinity.
A penetrating light of educational
value will be thrown on the interest

NEW WORM GEAR
!. ELIMINATES NOISE
Improvement Made for Use
in Passenger Cars and
Motor Coaches.

A feature of the automobile trucl
soon may be borrowed by the manu-
facturers of high grade passenger
cars, 1t is the worm gearing that
has been the boast q the commercia
vehicle for the last T. years.
The change is expected as the re
suit of the growing demand for silent
operation and low-hung cars and of q
great deal of development work that
has been done on this type of tinal
drive.
Forecast by Detroit Man.
This forecast was made by l.. r.
Buckendale of the Timken- Detroit
Co. in an address last week at the
Summer meeting of the Society of
Automotiye Engineers, who described
the progressive Improvement OF the
worm gear for use in motor-coaches
and passenger automobiles.
In the new type the worm is under
slung beneath the rear axle. which
permits the propeller shaft to be hunS
low, yet gives ground clearance
equal to that of corresponding beVel
gear axle. With n low propeller shaft,
the engine. frame and body can be
placed low, which increases safety
AZ the present higher maximum We
hicle speeds of 60, 20 and even so
miles an hour. Moreover. with the
worm under the axle the rise in the
floor under the rear seat can he
omitted and the seat placed lower. As
"A result more headroom is afforded
under Il low vehicle top.
The high horsepower and high
speed of the modern motor coach have
proved that q worm drive axle can he
designed that has factors of safety
that are equal to or greater than
those of the bevel gear drive. The
worm gear drive is silent because il
has sliding tooth contact instead of
rolling contact. as in spur or bevel
gearing. This silence is retained
throughout the life Of the drive be
cause there is very little wear and
consequent looSeness and hacklash.

and is obviously good for many more
miles.
Resists Shocks Easily.
This type of drive is able TO resist
shock loads without damage because
no displacement occurs that tends TO
throw the tooth surfaces out OF en-
gagement. AS a consequence, a pro
pelIer shaft brake. for either emer-
gencv or service use, can be employed
ahead of the worm. In manufacture,
