DRIVER DEFT AT
SHIFTING GEARS
All Motions With Levers Must Be
Made Deliberately and With
out Undue Haste.
PROBLEMS ON TRANSMISSION
It Is a Serious Mistake to Permit Car
to Gain Too Much Speed Before
Changing Combinations —
Good Method Outlined.
One of tin murks of a good driver
is the manner In which lie handles
the gear shifting lever. Of course,
the design of the clutch has a great
deal to do with easy gear shifting,
but even with this advantage a cer
tain amount of practice is necessary
in order to shift the gears deftly with
out noise or clashing,
The transmission is made up of a
series of (.'ears, mounted on the main
shaft and the countershaft, with the
idler gear mounted on the transmis
sion ease. The lirsl speed, second
speed and reverse combinations are
Simply three sets of reduction gears
with various ratios, to give the mo
tor a greater leverage against the
driving mechanism when required.
High speed is direct drive, which
means that the propeller shaft re
volves at the same rate of speed as
the motor crankshaft. The various
gears are brought into play hy moving
the gear shifting lever to the proper
positions.
Power Is Disconnected.
When the clutch pedal Is pressed
all the way down the power of the
motor is disconnected from the trans
mission system, which releases the
pressure of the gear teeth against
each other and makes it possible to
shift the gears easily. Also, when
the gear Shifting lever is In neutral
position the power 1s disconnected
from the rear driving mechanism, be
cause none of the transmission gears
are In mesh.
The whole theory of gear shifting
may be summed up In the statement
that the two gears about to be meshed
should be revolved slowly and as
nearly as possible at the same rate
of speed. If one is revolving much
faster than the other it is difficult to
shift without clashing.
How to Get Good Results.
it is a mistake, tor the above rea
sons, to let the ear gain too great a
speed before shifting Into a higher
combination. The following method
will be found to give good results:
With the throttle closed and the
spark lever about half-way down the
quadrant, so thai the engine idles
slowly, throw out the clutch ami put
the gear shifting | n first-speed posi
tion. Engage the clutch slowly at
the same time pressing .town on the
orator pedal gradually. Lei the
car attain a speed of about four or
Aye miles an hour and then throw out
the dutch, removing the right foot
entirely from the accelerator pedal
Port the lever slightly forward Into
neutral position, then tear to the
left and forward into second speed
Let the clutch In gently, as before
■ltd accelerate the speed of the car
to about eight or ten miles an hour
when the clutch should he again dis
engaged, the foot removed from the
accelerator and the gear shifting lev
er pulled straight back into high speed
position.
All ... those motions should he Blade
deliberately without haste.
TIRE CHANGES ARE FAVORED
It Is Well to Replace Rear Tires With
Front Ones and Also to
Reverse Sides,
After the rear tires q tve worn con
siderably. Interchange with the front
tires. It Is also good to reverse sides.
The tractive strain on the rear wheels
makes it advisable to place new tires
on 'he rear wheels. moving th. old
ones forward. Some 0 tne greatest
mileage records known have been
gained in this ay.
GARAGE DOOR CLOSED
BY PASSAGE OF AUTO
Wheels of Vehicle Pass Over
Tripping Device.
Door Is Counterweighted So That
When Trip Is Released, Weight
Pulls Door Shut or Open as
May Be Desired by Driver.
An easy-running garage or barn door
may be arranged, as shown in the
drawing, to close Itself as soon as the
rear wheels of a vehicle pass over the
tripping device. The door is counter
weighted so that, when the trip is re
leased, the weight pulls the door shut.
Tim trip, or release, consists of a
hinged . plank arranged, as indicated,
to engage with the notched plate on
the door; this plate has two notches,
one of which engages with the plank :

' A Simple Device That Automatically
Closes Sliding Garage Doors After
the Passage of a Vehicle.
In the extreme open position. A
| spring on the underside of the plank
, holds it in engagement with the
notches. In operation, the front wheel
of the .vehicle pushes the trip down
and the door Is released until the
catch engages in the second notch,
which is about 2 inches back of tie*
first. The rear wheel disengages the
catch from the second notch and the
door rolls shut. The door travel
should he adjusted so that it will
clear the car as It shuts.—

HARD TO GET PROPER IDLING
Trouble Usually Caused By Spark
Plug Gap Being Too Close— No
Fault of Carburetor.
Owners of cars containing small
bore six-cylinder engines sometimes
complain of the difficulty of obtaining
proper Idling, The owner usually as
sumes that the carburetor is at fault.
As a matter of fact, the trouble la
usually caused by the spark plug be
ing set too close. This causes the
; motor to roll when Idling; with all the ;
i symptoms of loading. By Increasing
. the spark gaps and cleaning the plugs
the trouble will he cured.

ALUMNI BOARD OF CONTROL
TO WORK FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
The first monthly meeting of the
Board of Control of the Alumni As
sociation was held at the home of
President Nalder on the evening of
Wednesday, September 14, 1921.
The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss plans of activity of the Al
umni Association for 1921-22.
There were present at the meeting
President V. F. Nalder, Mrs. Isabella
Munlock, Dr. P. 11. Dirstine, Oscar
Barbee and Harry Chambers.
Scholarships and fellowships for
the college constituted the chief
question considered by the board
Attention was called to the fact that
hut one scholarship was given here
at the college at this time, the A.

shi]is and fellowships are available.
It was felt by all members of the
board present that this unsatisfac
tory condition was due to the fact
that people generally in this state
looked upon the State College as an
institution deriving its entire support
from state funds, and by reason of
this fact was precluded from becom
ing the beneficiary of private endow
ments for scholarships. It was
therefore deemed advisable to carry
OH 8 campaign of education among
the alumni with three objectives in
view. First, to have the alumni
branch chapters wherever possibla,
establish * scholarship, either
through yearly subscriptions or by
endowment, the scholarship to pay
an annuity of not less than $100.
Second, to have the alumni and for
mer students to contribute annually
to a general alumni fund to be known
as the "Alumni Scholarship fund,"
the proceeds of which would be de
voted to scholarships varying .in
amounts from $ 100 per annum up.
Third, to request the alumni and
former students to conduct a cam
paign of education among their
wealthy friends, pointing out to them
the great good that may be derived
from and lasting endearment that
may bo attached to their names by
the establishment of perpetual me
morial scholarships here at the State
College.
The following committees were
appointed to take charge of this cam
paign of education: -
Letters to the alumni— F. F. Nal
der and H. M. Chambers.
Feature writer for Pow Wow and
Evergreen — Mrs. Isabella Murdock.
Personal solicitation from Pull
man alumni — Dr. P. H. Dirstine and
Oscar Barbee.
