COSCRAVE LEAVES
OTTAWA TODAY

as Train Is Wrecked

| BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario. January 81
Welcomed as the representative OF the
Youngest of the British dominions. VIII
liam L. Cosgrave. head OF the Irish
Free State had light program today,
his last at Canada's capital.
Seemingly none the worse for the de-
railment of his train yesterday, In
which one man was killed. he had only
n luncheon engagement before entrain-
ing for New York via Montreal at $3.50
this afternoon.
He aided in the work OF rescue when
his train Jumped switch at Limogcse,
about % miles from Ottawa, while
making SIS miles an hour. He aided in
extricating the injured from the over
turned engine and cars and sent tel
cgram of coincidence to the family Of
j. A. Boyd railroad foreman. of Mon
treal. who died at the throttle of the
presidential train. His private car left
the nails, but did not overturn and no
member of his party was injured.
After an enthusiastic welcome at the
station President Cosgrave was taken
to the Parliament House. where Pre-
mier Mackenzie King called attention
to his presence in the gallery as the
members cheered.
In the evening he was a guest at
dinner given by Premier King. Trib-
ute was paid at the dinner to President
Cosgrave's GOODNESS at the time OF the
accident and his work in aiding the
injured.

Clarence D. Chamberlin, the avi-

the entire civilized world because
of his daring in flying the Allan

epochal feat way back in 1914-15-

was while working for Uncle Sam
as a mail carrier Chamberlin pur-
chased his first motorcycle. This
led to more active interest in that
type of transportation and he sub
sequentlv started a sales and repair

he had established a very prosperous

Differential Is
Complicated Unit

The differential is rather a COM
plicated device designed to deliver
the same power 10 each wheel when
the car is making curve and the
outer wheels are required to turn
faster than those on the inside.
Just how the differential works is
of no particular Importance to the
average man, for it is difficult to
get to and is usually more econo-
mical to take the car to garage
if trouble should develop in this
device.
However, it is important to under
stand the way the power is trans
mitted from the shaft to the differ
cntial. There is pin'on on the
rear end of the drive shaft which
works against ring gear that en-
circles the differential gear housing
and delivers the power directly to
the rear axle, except when the car
is moving or n curve.
Unless the avle housing, which
surrounds the differential housing
is kept filled to the proper lever
with lubricant, the wear on the
pinion and ring gears will be ex.
cessive, causing what is known as
"lash.' If the differential gets
noisy, makes a dull hum, and lost
motion is noticed in moving the cal
back and forth in gear, it is usually
a sign of wear and play in the
gears. The pinion should be moved
back far enough to make a firm
fit into the ring gear. If there Is
a play in it you may break tooth
or strip gear by engaging the
clutch suddenly or making a heavy
pull. The adjustment on most cars
is made by an adjusting bolt on tht
drive shaft, just ahead of the axle
housing.

CARS FROM MANY
STATES TRAVEL
s. D. HIGHWAY

The state highway commission of
California requires its employees to
report about twice a year as to the
number and variety of ears being
used on the system throughout the
state, and last Sunday and Monday
j. ID. Reeve, who has charge of the
maintenance station east of Boston
ia, performed that duty, assisted by
the employees of the station.
The observation took place on the
state highway near the fruit stand
west of FL Cajon and travel was
checked from 6 a. m. until 10 p. M,
vehicles of all kinds passing both
ways being noted.
During that time Sunday 5,249 ve-
hicles passed, only one being horse
drawn. All the others were propelled
by gasoline power. There was quite
sprinkling of heavy and light
trucks and few ears with trailers,
but most of them were touring cars,
sedans and, roadsters.
OF the total Sunday 266 cars bore
license plates from other states and
countries than California. Baia Cali.
fOrnia was represented by four, Brit
ish Columbia by 2, and the District
of Columbia, Hawaii and New Zea-
land by one each.
OF the 4S states in the Union Al
were represented in the procession
that passed almost constantly over
this stretch of paved highway
through Ell Cajon. There were cars
from Michigan, Arizona, Connecti
cut, Oregon, Washington, Ohio, Colo.
RADIO, West Virginia, New York,
Texas, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Geor,
gia, New Hampshire, Maryland
North Dakota, Nevada, Montana,
Missouri, Maine, Minnesota, Arkan

homa, Virginia, Utah, Iowa, Flori-
da, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Hin
ois, Nebraska, Tennessee, South
Dakota, Alabama, Wyoming, Loui
siana, Wisconsin, New Mexico and
Kanses. Arizona had the largest
number, 10, and Washington, Ore
eon, Colorado and Illinois were quite
numerously represented, though not
with so many.
On Monday $3.50 vehicles passe
and only two of them were horse
drawn. The proportion of trucks tc
pleasure ears was somewhat larger
than on Sunday and of the total III
bore license plates from other states
and countries.
Watching this traffic convinces
anyone that this region is genuinely
cosmopolitan and that whatever
show is made as to improvements anG
the conduct of community affairs
is witnessed by people from large
part of the civilized world. Thi
should have an important influenc,

HUDSON OFFERS
EXCLUS[VENESS
IN new MODELS

In its new line Of custom built
ears, presented for the 1923 season,
the Hudson Motor Car Co. offers an
innovation which will undoubtedly
prove important. There are three OF
these models-the victoria, the s.
passenger landau sedan, and the z
passenger sedan.
All these ears were designed for
Hudson in Hollywood, Calf, by a
firm which specialized in special
exclusive bodies, none of which ever
have been offered at less than $1,000.
A few months ago number of
these de luxe bodies were purchased
by Hudson officials ard others for
their personal use. So different were
they from models current at the
time that Hudson determined on
them as the basis for a special line
Of ears on the 127-inch chassis.
These custom bodies are built to
express what Hudson terms "thc
vogue of tomorrow The whole
contour of the ear is designed to
express fleetncss and modern style
with sport motive. Color schemes
and mouldings are more daring than
in Hudson s usual models. The front
window pillars are slender in outline
while the outer rim of the windshield
is brightly nickel-plated. Similarly,
the window supports at the top of
he doors are unusually trim and are
nickel finished. This is said to i'm
Erove vision from within the car and
to assist an impression cf smart
ness.
The rear quarters of these ears
are covered with landau leather,
which comes down from the top in
an Hnbroken surface. Car interiors
are fully and richly finished in de
luxe style.
These cars are being manufactured
for Hudson in Amesbury, Mass.
by firm of custom builders whose
total capacity has been contracted
for by Hudson. The construction
is of hand hammered aluminium pan
els and selected hardwood. The use
of aluminium instead of sheet steel
permits the obtaining Of distinc
i've and subtle body lines and saves
the weight of one passenger.
Hudson s big production program
at this time of the year is declared
the result of the reception of the
new Hudson Essex line. From re
pcIts the country over, this is said
anv line of ears in the company s
| history, despite generally cold wea
ther. In Detroit, since the introduct
ion of the ears, retail sales have ex
Coeded 100 ears a day-or abou
triple the normal rate.
