Working with the clutch, in the
process Of making the engine move
the automobile, is the transmission.
This consists Of an arrangement
of gears by which a car may pick up
speed in gradual steps, or back up
when desired.
knowledge Of how these gears
work may help toward elimination
Of the scraping noises we hear when
poor operation causes them to clash.
In fact, it may avoid the possibility
of stripping some of the teeth from
the gears and SO making the entire
transmission worthless.
The gears are so arranged in the
transmission that, when the lever is
in neutral position, they do not
mesh. All that is happening, while
the engine is running and the clutch
is engaged, is the revolution. Of the
main driving gear on the engine
shaft and the countershaft gears
with which contact is made to those
on the propeller or drive shaft.
Since the operating gears are
not meshed, the clutch may be en-
gagged. But when the lever is to be
thrown into first, to mesh the large
sliding gear on the propeller shaft
with the smaller one on the running
counter shaft, the clutch must first
be disengaged completely-the foot
pedal must be clear down to the
floor board-or there will be a scrap
ing of gears, straining and pos
sibly stalling Of the engine. That,
too, is how gears are stripped of
their teeth and rendered useless.
This is what happens when the
lever is shifted:

Hints on Car Care

The engine has been running 1t .
normal speed, while the lever Is in
neutral and the car is standing still.
While this is going on, however,
the engine is driving the gears on
the countershaft at the same speed
it is going. :.
When the clutch is dissngased,
the engine is separated from the
countershaft gears and leaves these
to revolve on the momentum it has
given them. While they are revolv-
ing, at Z comparatively slow speed,
the low gears can be meshed with
the sliding gear on the propeller
shaft, the clutch may then Be let
in slowly and the car started.
Having picked up enough mo-
mentum, the clutch is disengaged
again-separating the engine from
the transmission-the sliding gear
is moved to the next faster coun-
tershaft gear, the clutch is let in
again, and off goes the car at q
higher speed.

reason, the engine may be slowed up
or speeded up in direct proportion
with the road speed desired.
But If the car is SLOWED. down too
far, there will come point in the
contact where the pull of the car will
be too much for the engine and the
motor will stall. To prevent this,
the transmission must be shifted
back into neutral position. and then
into the next lower gear.

equally as spectacular as the COM

ing Willys-Knight six because OF
price consideration.
It is known that because of the
highest type Of engineering and
workmanship demanded in the pro-
duction of a Knight sleeve-valve
engine, the manufacturing costs have
been materially higher than the cost
of building power plants Of another
design. In fact it was believed for
years that because of the high cost
of producing the sleeve-valve engine
it would never be possible to install
this type Of power plant in car
selling below $1,000.
However, through Willys-Over-
lands Is years experience in build
ing Willys-Knight sleeve-valve en-
gines and other types, manufacture
ing costs have been reduced and
other economies have been worked
out that have made possible this new
WHY'S knight six at the lowest price
in the history Of the company. The
completion Of Willy-Overland's new
body building plant also has been
! an important factor in bringing
: about this new low priced Knight

AStrologers read tomorrow as rather
an unimportant day in planetary d.

1t is time to conserve the energies
and to use the talents wisely. for no
risk of any sort should be taken.
Those who seek positions of any sort
should delay initiative until a more
auSpicious planetary rule prevails.
Under this sway we'll laid plans are
likely to come to naught, and dis
appointments may be expected.
The direction of the stars is espe-
ciaily menacing to the hopes OF po-
litical aspirants.
The configuration is supposed to fur

nent men and women and to thwart
those who already enjoy fame or high
place.
This should be a favorable time for
taking stock of ones mental wealth
and of eliminating faults or wrong

Two present visitors in Washington

Mrs. Hartley. Most readers will re-
member that Commodore Hartley was
until a few weeks ago skipper Of the
Leviathan.
II have cast anchor for the last

hotel. During the five years I was in
command Of the Leviathan I received

who were going to sail on my ship. Say.

1t might be said of Commodore Hart

Your Baby and Mine.
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

We are a very sentimental person
where babies are concerned, as you
may have guessed, but in the matter
of adopting babies we believe the head
must rule the heart. We read tragic
tales daily of adopted children who are
breaking their parents hearts by their
callousness; and also because the small
baby taken in infancy has failed to
develop normally" =
To the childless. parent who longs
for a baby the one consideration seems
to be that it shall have, blue eyes and
blonde curls. or red hair and freckles.
or some such purely physical character
istic which harmorizes with their ideals.
This Is all right as far as 1t goes, but
think of the future.
Children. in my estimation. should
grow. naturally into knowledge that
they have been chosen by their parents.
It is quite terrible at some dramatic
moment. when half grown. to shatter
a childs preconceived. ideas of his
parentirood--ahd 1t is practically i'm
possible ever TO keep. such knowledge
trorn him. He should know it from the
beginning and accept 1t as natural.
Taking very tiny baby is open to
objections Until the child is old
enough to have some sort OF mental
rating 1t Is a mistake TO make the
adoption permanent. One should no.
return defective children as II they
were plaster dolls. One does the child
a terrible injustice. and the parent has
a right TO feel certain THAT the darling
blonde baby he chooses is OF normal

plans for the future
II the parents want to give home

unselfish. but 1t should be done with
full knowledge OF what they are un-
