0IdS Distributor Guests.

w. F. Meyer of the Lathrop Moy-
er Company, local Oldsmobile dis
tributors, was host to Oldsmobile
dealers and their employees Tuesday.
The occasion was the celebration of
the thirty-flfth anniversary of Olds-
mobile.
The feature of the gathering was
the showing of a sound picture en-
titled THE First Still Leads" The
picture itself is very realistic "trip

The picture was shown immedi-
ately following luncheon, which was
served at the Athletic Club to ap-
proXimately $50 dealers and en-

The front driven member is
splined to the transmission main
shaft; the rear driven member is
splined to the front yoke Of the uni
versal joint, through which it is
connected to the propeller shaft;
the multi-coiled driving spring is
attached to the rear driven mem
Der by an integral prong at its end.
Confined in Cups
The outside diameter of the spring
is confined within cups in both the
driving and driven members with
a very slight clearance, permitting
free and independent rotation Of
either member.
AS the power is applied, the spring
expands tightly into the cups of
both members, locking the two to-
gether with a force equal to the
power transmitted, and the drive is
conventional. This compares to
turning the fingers so that the CAL
endar unwinds against the tube
and causes the tube to revolve.
When the driving force is re-
moved, by removing the foot from
the accelerator, the driving spring
contracts, and the rear member is
free to rotate with the propeller
shaft and rear wheels.
This Is Free Wheeling
This free rotation of wheels, in
dependent of engine and transmits
sion, constitutes free wheeling. This
action is comparable to turning the
fingers in the calendar so that the
calendar winds and rotates freely
in the tube.
The free wheeling unit is manu-
featured entirely in Chevrolet plants
and is assembled as an integral part
of the syncro-mesh transmission.
Chevrolet is the first low-priced
car to offer both syncro-mesh and
simplif1ed free wheeling at no addi-
tional cost.

Cleanse the arteries of our whole country where breed and swarm the filth and crime of our national household.

Don't Stampede

The fishing vessels of Aber- deen, Washington are tied up in a strike in which they are hold ing up for a price of seven cents ger pound for king salmon. It IS Tot improbable that the Trollers' Association of Washington is back of this movement and that they will appeal to the fishermen of Alaska to strike in sympathy with them.
 While these alien fishermen come to Alaska and take out their winters living, they leave nothing behind. They don't even pay taxes to help maintain the Territorial government-not . dollar. They fought the non- resident tax and the decision of the courts was with them-they have paid nothing nor have they put up any bond that they will pay. The Territorial fisher men are compelled by the same law to pay a tax of $1 to oper- ate and some have been arrested in the past for failure or refusal to pay this tax. It would appear that there is no advantage in being a resident fishermen-not when you can operate in Alaska as an alien fisherman and not have to help maintain it's gov- ernment. So why remain in Alaska?
 Added to which is the compe- tition the non-residenGs give the resident fishermen-large num- bers of these men come in and clutter up the waters, taking fish and aiding in depletion of that resource. The residents have had harder times securing a living because of this competition. Sweat on, AlaSkans, sweat on!

We always like to see everyone get square deal, and so we want to set you right about King Georges crown.
 There was a story the other day, saying that the crown had gone to the laundry or the dry cleaners or somewhere an d come back an inch larger in diameter-or something like that.
 We'll, of course, all the wise crackers got busy and made re- marks about poor Georges head and Queen Mary's hats, and 8 forth. It was all very embarrass- ing over in Buckingham palace Every time the king passed a butler, the butler would sort of snicker. You know ... But now, it turns out, the crown wasn't returned any larg- CT in the headband. It was ar inch bigger in height. Taller IY'unnerstan'?

Headed For What?

It has been the effort of the financial powers to keep the l al bor solidarity divided by
 unions, churches, lodges, racial animosities and various "isms.
 And how we'll they succeeded! But their success in making the continued divisions is being negated now through their owE efforts. The people of the United States are becoming hungry and they all understand the causes
 of the bangs of starvation. Dur ing the winter months babies, children, expectant mothers, youth and the aged felt the
 sting of the cold; death visited families from the cradle to the winter of life. All these people fare being forced into a union of depressed and morbid spirits and their hates famed by hung CT to a point where only the lack of virulent leadership pre- vents more serious consequences as a result of the n1ismanage- ment of the financial situation The crass disregard of the landlords of Europe brought to an end their control over the serfs; the foolish disregard and |indecencies of Russian autocracy forced an end to the Czaristic system; the revolution of France was brought on by the money
 mad exactions; the hoggishness of the French autocracy accom- plished in a few years what gov- ernments failed to perform in a hundred years.
 In America the revolution may be accomplished by the
 battle of ballots but if the citi- |zens fail to accomplish the end
 they desire, the battle of ballots
 may resolve into a battle with arms wherein once again family will be divided against family, father against son and brother against brother.
 All of which may be avoided
 if the financial lords would but stop and declare a vacation from their sordid greatness and if
 they would but take time to re-
 lieve the ills of the sick portion
 of the country.

Topples on Parade

Those poppies passing on parade, By trembling hand of men were
 made; By hands once stained with
 crimson blood, When they would stop wars hor-
 TOT flood. They gave their youth, prepared
 to die, But were instead condemned to
 lie With shattered frame on beds ot
 pain, Never to live like men again. Never to know the joy of life Like other men, in peace or strife And tired in spirit and in mind To their white cots must lie
 confined, And send their peoples on par
 ade, That they a pittance may 5e
 paid, And help to bring an hour:
 SurceaSe To fevered minds that still abide In bodies where youths fires
 have died. Harriet Markham Gill,

 It might be argued that New ton was not a vicious criminal and that he was up only for a petit larceny charge Since when did the law permit a prisoner 10 walk out of a jail without bail or bond and permitted to go to another state or territory to earn wages in competition with decent residents and then ex- pcct that prisoner to return to serve out his time at $3 per day9 If Newton refuses to return to Sumas, Washington and elects to remain in Alaska, what pro- ceedings will the courts of Wash ington use to compel his return Is petit larceny an extraditeable offenSe?
 Right on the face of the whole laffair it is evident that Newton was given his liberty with the permission of the officials Of
 Washington to remain out ot
 that State and to further bur lden Alaska with his obnoxious
 presence. And what a parady oll justice the whole affair -sub- Ijected to a fine of $1,000 which
 he should, by law serve out at B Iper day and excused from paying

 Keep Your Own Criminals
 Whenever the officials of the States desire to get rid of unde- sireable characters, they ship them off to Alaska. Alaska is quite a dumping ground for the riff raff, scum and offal of the crime areas of the states. They have created no end of a pro- blem in Alaska with their con- tinued operations in crime, with their spreading of vicious ven ereal diseases among the less
