on illegal slot machines in West

Throughout the valley proprie-

them with sacks, boards and other
camouflage as they waited in nerv-
Gus expectation of a continuance
of yesterdays raids.
In the Westmorland area - slot
machines were eonfiscated, and to-
day are held in the county court
house. No arrests were made, but
proplictors were warned against a
repetition of the offense against
state law.
Fred Elliott. deputy sheriff, and
Chan Livingston, representing the
district attorney, conducted the
raids.
Word spread rapidly through
Westmorland that the sheriff and
district attorney had gone wild, and
pool room proprietors earted their
slot machines to back rooms, and
covered them with SACKS and
boards. The Officers were forced to
search thoroughly every place for
which they held a search warrant.

FREE WHEELING
DESIRED UNDER
GEAR CONTROL

Many types Of free wheeling have
sprung up during the year since
Studebaker perfected this automo-
tive advancement.
StudebaEer free wheeling IS, OF
course, under positive gear control
by the simple movement Of the
usual single gear shift lever. The
driver can utilize engine compress
sion as a brake at any time he de-
sires if he has Stadebaker free
wheeling.
Some forms Of free wheeling. how
ever. do not permit. the driver TO
utilize his engine compression for
braking purposes. He must free
wheel all the time, even when de-
scending steep hills. This form OF
free wheeling has been called 100
per cent free wheeling as contrast
ed with free wheeling under posi-
tive gear control

AWARDS
PRESENTED TO
BIRD OBSERVERS

In recognition of their long and
faithful services in cooperating with
the bureau of biological survey of
the United States Department of
Agriculture by reporting local OBJ
servations of the migration of North
American birds, Paul G.. Redington,
chief of the biological survey, has
sent engrossed testimonials to eight
persons, each of whom has sent re-
ports to the bureau for more than
40 years. In some cases the records
antedate the establishment of the
biological survey in 1885.
Such records form the basis for
the information by which the bu-
reau is endeavoring to learn where
each species of North American
bird breeds. where it winters, and
when and by what route it gets
from the one to the other. This
information, which is shown on
maps, is essential TO the formula
ton of protective laws, since it
shows where and when the birds
need protection; it also has been
used in preparing the later editions
Of the Checklist of North Amer
lean Birds and in aiding students
IN the preparation of state and local
lists of birds.

The rapid gain in the use of the
modern development of the former

SHOW Several factors have entered
INTO the development OF metal

wheel, the chief one being th ever
increasing shortage of wood to
make good wheels.
AS the wire wheel had its day
IN the bicycle period, general at
tention was placed first on the disk
wheel and several manufacturers
tried them as standard equipment.
but they had many disadvantages,
chief among which was the tenden-
cy to transmit road sounds to the
car.
The proponents of the wire
wheel then began a development,
with the result that the lone, thin

1t will be noted that three of the
low-priced fours and skies carry
this type of wheel as standard |
equipment. and that all cars. in all |
price classes offer it as optional |
equipment or as additional equip |
ment. One low-priced six changed
from disk wheels this year, while |
another changed from wood wheels
