FREE WHEELING
AVAILABLE FOR
FORD, CHEVROLET

According TO reports from deal
ers following the demonstrations
the Scotch Free Roller now brings
the sensation experienced only IN
driving high priced free wheeling
equipped cars within the reach OF
every Ford and Chevrolet owner.
AS soon as these cars are equip
ped with the new device, 1t can De
shifted from high to second at any
speed. 40 or so miles per hour'
without touching the clutch, II Is
said. Or the gears may be shifted
forward at any speed without the
use of the clutch.
In addition, the car will glide at
any speed-40, so, 60 miles per
hour-yet the engine idles at D
miles per hour. The car coasts
while the engine rests, Officials de-
clared.
In explaining the free wheel prin-
ciple, c. E. Starr, the inventor,
said:
In your younger days when you
rode a bicycle equipped with a
coaster brake, you didn't have TO
pump the pedals all the time.
You could stop peddling, saw
ing you footpower and you glided
smoothly on. Next time you see
youngster hitching a ride along side
a car, just notice his pedals are
not pumping pistons. No, stree.
he's coasting. That's free wheel
ing"
The Scotch Free Roller was de-
signed by Starr, who has distrib-
uted, perhaps, as many revolu-
tionary improvements in the auto
motive field as any other one man.
Ruckstell axle, Planetor gear shift,
Twink two-speed axle are all the
products OF his inventive genius.
The Scotch Free Roller, his lat
est achievement. is manufactured
under his supervision by the Axel-
son Manufacturing Company and
Ben Herring Rubber Company, I'M
perial Valley distributor The fac
tory, it is reported, is working
night and day to fill the unpre-
cedented orders for this product.

Hal Roach, prominent motion pic
ture producer, and his wife, joined
here today in denying a rumor that
Mrs Roach had established resi-
dence in Las Vegas, New, for the

The producer said that the rumor
started when a woman OF similar

Nevada city recently.
Roach said that Mrs. Roach never
had been in Las Vegas and that no
discussion of a possible divorce ever
had taken place between them.
Mrs. Roach and I plan to leave
Hollywood together soon for visit

or jumped over three hard words
in his reading book.
IF you do that again. Joie,' said
Miss Mouse. II shall keep you in
after school
"Yes'm," said Joie politely though
he hoped the teacher would not do
it.
Uncle Wiggily noticed that there
was something wrong with Joie and
the rabbit gentleman asked
Did anything happen in school,
Joie?"
Yes" mewed the pussy boy. Il
am too good jumper"
We'll, it is a good thing to be
jumper" chuckled Mr. Longears.
Though you shouldn't jump in
school,"
oh. I didn't exactly jump-like
thisl" exclaimed Joie and he gave
q leap up in the air. Il just jumped
over three hard, big words. I mean
Il skipped them in reading
You shouldn't do that, Joie,"
said Uncle Wiggily. But perhaps
you are too proud about being a
good jumper in another way. Now
1T is never right for anyone to be
too proud, SO 1 will show you that
there are others who can jump
much better than you, and 1 don't
mean jump over hard words. either"

or any farther than l can, unless,
maybe, it's a kangaroo from Aus
tralia that we read about in gee
Jogaffy class
That is where you are wrong,
Joie," said Uncle Wiggily with a
laugh. Il am not as good a jumper
as a kangaroo, but can jump better
than you
oh, excuse me, but 1 don't be-
lieve 1T" mewed Joie. Let's have
a jumping race, Uncle Wiggily, will
you pleaSe?'
Surely" agreed the rabbit. Let
me see, now. There is a high board
fence" he went on, pointing one
ear at it. Can you take run and
jump over that fence and far out
on the other side?"
"Of course I can!" cried Joie.
Go ahead-try it, said Uncle
Wiggily. IF you can't do it ! can.
And even if you do jump over the
fence will go farther on the other
side of it than you CO.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Joie. Just
watch my big jump!" Joie started
to run toward the fence and, all O.
a sudden, he sprang up into the air
to leap over it. Across the top he
went whizzing and down he went
out of sight. AS he jumped Joie
gave a loud new and cried:
"Ohl OH Oh, dear!'
well, I guess he must have made
2 pretty good jumpi" said Uncle
Wiggily. Il guess Joie landed long
way on the other side OF the fence.
But here is where I beat him in this
jumping race!"
Uncle Wiggily started to run TO
make his jump but just then Joie's
sister, Kittie, came running around
the end of the fence from the side
where Joie was and Kittie mewed:
Don't jump, Uncle Wiggily. Don't
jump as Joie did"
''Why not?" asked the rabbit gen.
tleman, stopping just in time.
"Oh, cause something terrible
happened!' cried Kittie Mrs. Twis-
tytail, the fat pig lady was on the
other side of the fence with bas-
ket of eggs, and Joie jumped right
en- her and on the eggs and every
thing Oh, you ought to see!" And
when Uncle Wiggily saw he laughed
and did not jump. Nor did Joie
jump over that fence any more.
Once was enough.
Joie and Mr.. Longears helped
Mrs. Twistytail up and saved what
eggs they could and the pig lady
only laughed. So it all happened
for the best and if the jumping rope
will sit still long enough for the col
lar to tie a knot in it, I'll tell you
about Uncle Wiggily and the last
wind.
