ALL WILLYS OVEULAND FLYWHEELS BALANCED BY SIMPLE OPERATION EVEN THE NAME SAXON HuQvc? II IK III g)n flLfl An operation which la simplicity Itself.

which la very important In the building of an automobile motor, la the balancing ot fly wheel, dutch oones And other parts of a. motor oar requiring; an even distribution, of weight. One of the very Interesting features of automobile eonetrnctloh at the WU Irs Overiand factories I this operation of balancing fly wheels and clutch cones. Peculiarly, the truelng of the welrht In these parts Is done In diametrically opposite manner. The fly wheel la mounted on a shaft and Is suspended on a pair of rollers.

Naturally, the heavier portion of It swings Immediately to the bottom. Weights are then mounted on the gears to determine how much overweight la the marked Point After sufficient weight has been added lighter aide to properly balance the wheel, a drill, exactly the of the weights, takes out the reoulred amount. Thus, If two weights have been used to equaiue the welsht of tno wheel, two holes are drilled on the heavier side; If three weights, three notes, ana so on. Clutch oones. however, are balanced by plugging the lighter side with lead.

In a manner similar, to the balancing ot uy wneeis. A Booster Kelly Springfield Manager Is Enthusiastic Over Fort Wayne.

Federal Sleuths Trail Border Car and Drivers Schlabach and Stieber. Uncle Samuel otherwise known as the federal government Is taking no chances these days. Hence his numberless secret service operatives on the Mexican border were considerably wrougni np recently wnen tney ais covered two gentlemen, driving along the bonier In a Saxon roadster, and signing Teutonic raises In various border city hotel registers. Having been "Hra oedl continually for months by reports iof German armies In Mexico and border raid plots, the federal sgenti were sus picious ct A. W.

Schlabach and F. Stieber. who are driving the Saxon roadster trail blazer for the National boundary highway; Although the lit' tie gray car was painted with signs showing its object, the sleuths were not convinced. They did not believe In signs Operatives were set to follow the Saxon car, which traveled the border from the gulf westward toward the Pacific, and orders were also sent out from the federal secret service headquarters tn the border region to check up on this car and see wether It was true that the Saxon company had a ear In Uat region. It was Saturday afternoon when one of the secret service men lii Detroit called the factory on the phone Few of the officers were at the factory and the operative Insisted that he must sneak to someone In authority.

Ac cordingly he was connected with that treasurer Of the company. Briefly, but pointedly the secret serv ice man asked If the car was on legi timate business and its ocupants were known to the factory as true and loyal cltltens of the United States. "Certainly," said the treasurer. 'Schlabach and Stieber ate native Americans and they are true And loyal 'By ths way. what a your namer cut In the secret service man.

E. E. Von Rosen, said the treas urer. The via once Is against you, satd the federal agent, laughing. Meanwhile the boundary trail water la forging along.

In fact. Its drivers were not aware that they were undir surveillance until after the factory hud been notified. And the federal au thorities have now assured the Snxun oonuan that they need nava no fear that their car will be Interned. The data that the trip Is furnishing, as a road map of boundary highways for military use. Is deemed mighty alu able at Washington.

TWO MACHINES DISPLACE FOUR TEAMS H. Iellly, manager of the Salt Lake CJty branch of the Lemp Brew lng Company, lays claim to several power wagon records for his tno 2 ton machines, says The Power Wagon, One of the machines has been In ser vice five years, lacking a couple ot months, and the other has been constant use for more than threa years. The first record claimed by Mr. Rellly la in the way cf repairs. In' the several years' service given by the two machines neither has been over' hauled and the repairs other then tires uve amounted to less'than $50.

Just one pair of new tires has Been pur chasd or used. Another record la for tire wear, the replaced tires on ths rider machine showed a record 2T.OO0 miles "It's eaiy." declared Mr. Rellly. "when you have the right kind ot drivers and give the machines the proDcr attention every day. My men hae ben with the motor trucks since the day they were purchased and they do all their own work What few repairs hive been necessary they hays made Tire wear'Ji negligible If the driver will keep off the street car tracks and excerclse care In handling the machines on rouRh The same, might bs truthly be said of the power wagons Barring a spot of grease occasionally and a few scratches on the beds the machines look like new witnout glancing numbers or other Identification marks the casual observer would Jmmedlately be Inclined to venture the opinion that the machines could not be more than a year old The excellent records and the ex eellent condition of the machines Mr.

Rellly credits almoit exclusively to rood drivers. Of course, he also In slsts that the first requisite Is a good machine. The two power wagons do all the transportation work for the Lemp Placed 4 teams The work conslstsV chiefly of short hauls one machine being confined largely to caring for the retail establishments, and the I ii tn the family On lha whole each car averages areund i thousand miles a month In the win tor the average Is a little lower, but during ths summer the machines are often called upn to 'work 11 and IT houra a day. At such times at least or more 'teams would be required to care for the trade now handled by the machines Other than the expenses of ths drivers and the annual license fees the operation or tne motor tracks reprea ents a negligible expenditure, confined almost to gasoline and oil. On an average the machines make It miles on a gallon of gasoline and use about 1 quart ot lubricating oil a day.

The machines were put to a ere teat during the heavy snow ot ths past winter, but the reports of their performances were in every way satisfactory, "We aaulnoed our machines with chains and never tackled a snowdrift during ths entire winter that we did not conquer, and there seldom was the slightest trouble, asserteoTMr. Rellly. "Futhermore we went up all the steep grades, even up Capitol Hill. with Just about the asms ease and speed as though It had been summer. That was something that no team could have done.
