In this emergency, Mr.. Tolliyer de-

in conference with Miss jenkins, to
use 1t as sparingly as possible, but

Ginger and Marjory held their own
counsel. They used the charge &C.

From his office, Ginger plunged into
an utter orgy Of buying For the first
time In her life, she abandoned herself
to reckless spending. She bought an
alligator pear. There were only two

She had never tasted an alligator

an angel-f0od cake. In the furniture
store, she bought two small rose-col-
ored lamps for the living room. In the
dry-goods store. she bought two pairs
Of white silk stockings, silk-to-the-top.
Miriam didn't really need them, OF
course, but one could not well show
partially between twins.
Then she went swiftly home, and
into the kitchen, where she rolled up
her sleeves and went to work. she
had no notion of announcing antici-
pated events until the two ministers
were well out Of the house, and dinner
was ready. She realized that she
could easily fool the men with this
most timely invitation out, but her
sisters would certainly suspect her OF
connivance. SO she postponed her
announcement, and in the meanwhile,
she worked.

FOUR SPEED MOTOR

Silent Third, American Innovation,
Features Cars Built
in United States.

The majority of automobiles in the
recent shows at London and Paris were
four-speed cars. but only a few among
the costlier makes have progressed be-
yond the spur-gear transmission to the
American type of drive-the internal
geared, silent third four-speed trans
mission, according to Louis Thoms,
Graham-Page chief engineer.
The fact is, European cars in gen.
eral can never gain the full advantages

fuel require them to use small engines
Since it Is high geared or fast" rear
axle, and not merely an extra speed in
the transmission that creates the chief
Dement'S in the American system, it will
be seen why real four-speed advantages
can be obtained only with unusually
powerful engines.
America attacked the whole trans
mission problem quite differently from
the Europeans. American three-speed
cars and European four-speed cars are
geared about the same. The latter,
however, despite their lack of power,
are capable of acceptable performance

u. S. COMPETITION
NOTICED IN ITALY
Preference Given to American Cars
Proves Blow to Foreign
/ Manufacturers.

Special Dispatch to The Star
ROME, January 25.-The last year
has been a strenuous one for the Italian
automobile industry, as American COM
petition has been felt both in the home
and foreign markets. Owing to the
preference given to American cars in
foreign countries, the exploration of
italian cars during the first nine
months Of 1929 decreased in COMPARE
son to that during the corresponding
period OF the previous year, while the
importation of American cars in Italy
increased in spite Of an anti-foreign
car press campaign started in the Sum-
mer. the effects Of which are still felt.
The difficulties encountered IN 1929
have been compared by experts 10
those that hampered construction in
the early days of 1905, when the italian
automobile industry was in its infancy.
The difficulties then were mostly of a
technical nature, while today anxiety
is felt owing to the tendency Of Italian
buyers to prefer foreign-made cars,
especially American.
There are at present IS automobile
and motor cycle factories in Italy, en-
ploying 81 900. besides 30 smaller fac
tories attached to the above supplying
carriage work, accessories, etc, thus
increasing to more than $4,000 the men
directly and indirectly employed in the
y. DuIulR 1870 Italy
occupied fourth place in the European
automobile production, but it is doubted
whether she will retain this place in
the year just closed, since both Eng
land and Germany have increasd the
output of their factories.
The main obstacle against an in
creased output of Italian cars is the
comparatively small home demand.
There is only one automobile for every
254 inhabitants in Italy, against
Americas one automobile to every five
of its inhabitants.
The influx OF American cars into
ITALY brought about many changes in
homemade cars. In the first place,
preference began to be given to the
closed car to such an extent that now
Rs per cent of all the cars built in Italy
are closed, and it is estimated that very
shortly the proportion of closed cars
will reach go per cent. Other changes
related to the general designing and
improved engine construction. The
italians were compelled to study mass
production and adopt it with certain
reservations. Improved production
machinery was imported from America
and installed in Italian factories
American cars continued to be pre-
ferred to Italian cars, and the question
vas then taken up by certain political
group. which started q press cam
patgn against Italians buying American
ears. When the Hawley tentative
&artd schedules were published this
vAmpAign was intensified.

efficiency and economy. The reduction
in engine speed naturally eliminates
the excessive vibration and noise that
are commonly felt at high road speeds.
when the exhaust and carburetor in
take, the fan and other rapidly moving
parts, combine to produce roar" no
matter how silent the engine itself.
To sum up. three facts are essential
to give the full benefits of four speeds
forward. They are high-powered
engine with all related units designed
to transmit excess power. silent third
gear capable of sustained use at high
speeds, and a high-geared rear axle to
apply the surplus engine power effec-
lively. Without high power, you cam
not have a fast rear axle, without a
fast rear axle, performance is the same
as with only three speeds. without the
silent third gear the four-speed drive
would be unacceptable because OF gear
noises.

slightly lower than ordinary direct drive
and a high gear considerably higher
than direct drive of three-speed cars.
BY adopting internal gears the engi-
neers achieved a third speed virtually

Since four speeds enable w-powered
cars to operate so well, obviously four
speeds, If used with a high-powered
engine, must effect an improvement in
ability. But, because American cars
needed no improvement in the lower
vanges. the only way to apply this in
creased ability was to adopt faster
real axle.
To install four speeds without chang
ing the rear axle ratio would not alter
in the least the performance in direct
drive. but merely give a lower low
gear and two intermediate gears, when
one is sufficient. However, by using

ORATORY CONTEST
CHANGE PRAISED
Extemporaneous Speaking
Seen Help to Quick,
Logical Thinking.

National Orstorical headquarters here
saws 1t has been deluged for several
,sseks with communications from all por-
tsons of the country expressing gratifi-
cation at the change in the contest pro-
cedure effected by its extemporaneous
feature inaugurated this year.
Heretofore the competition has been
principally based on diction, .enuncia-
ton, voice and eloquent delivery to-
sether with facility of composition and
expression after long and deliberate
thought
This, however, is now changed. 1t is
more important for a contestant who
may be called upon at moments
notice to discuss any subject related to
his prepared Grafton, to be quick and
logical thinker with complete mastery
of his theme, than merely a polls aed
speaker who has the ability to deal
gracefully in generalities.
Brings out Ability.
According to Randolph Leigh. direc-
tor the extemporaneous speaking brings
out the real ability OF contestant and
a reliable indicator of his or her mental
caliber. -
The improfnptu speech has tendency
20 act as a check on inaccurate and
urrestrained assertions in the confess
tant's prepared address, since he knows
that he may be called upon on the
stage before his audience with only As
minutes preparation to explain any
thing he has said.
Topics for Speeches.
Mr. Leigh has been careful to provide
such topics for extemporaneous speeches
throughout the seven zones of the con-
Nast. Thus, it will be probable that
thf Sc who survive the preliminary stages
ami come to Washington for the ma
ticnal finals May "a will have prepared
speeches that are clear and historically
accurate as well as eloquent.

made in vague and general terms.
