Bump! gothe front wheels as you brace for the shock. An instant more you are over the rough spot and spinning along smooth road. Your Front Axle Takes All the Shocks All the time—at high speed or lov— your safety and that of your family or friends depends on the sturdiness of the front axle. The I-beam, spindles, bear- ings, steering arm, cross-rod and knuckles must stand up to the weight and the shocks and vibration. Those Who Ride on Timkens Feel Safe And well they may. For the men of the Timken-Detroit organization have been working together for years on just two problems that are really one. (1) Determining with each car builder for each particular model of his car the design of the one axle that will perfectly co-relate with all the other parts of the car and give the utmost in use-service- value to the car owner. (2) Manufacturing that axle for that car from steels that are best, each for its special purpose. Heat-treating each piece to bring out its best. Machining and grinding to an accuracy that means long- est possible life of satisfactory service. Talk With the Man Who Rides on Timkens How Timken men have succeeded in co-design- ing the right axle for the car and in making each axle in the most efficient way can best be judged by talking with owners of Timken-cquipped cars and, best of all, with repair men who know the inside of all makes of cars. ap A8k us for the “List of Cars,"" the “Axle Primer"—and the "Bearing Primer"— they'll teil you many interesting things about the motor car, Write Dep't.

Is “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown" is an old adage, and under this system capital wears the crown. Was it always thus, and will it always be thus? Were the feudal lords timid under the feudal system? Were the slave-owners timid when we had slavery? The Socialists declare that the next logical step after capitalism is socialism; that the working class is about to overthrow the capitalist class. Will labor be as timid then as capital is now? Or, if perchance the Socialists are wrong and we should choose the road that leads to anarchy, would those brave anarchists, now so aggressive and fearles metamorphosed into hare-heart’ 4 tremblers? be thereby Does anybody know? Can anyone tell? The Certified Age THE Chicago Morals Court has been doing a flourishing business in babies. This court supplies babies properly certified as to pedigree, ete., to those who make application. But the Chicago Morals Court does not stop there. It insists also that the prospective guardians of the babies shall in each case be duly examined as to fitness. It’s a poor rule that doesn’t work both ways, according to this discriminating court. From certified babies to certified parents may be only one link in the chain toward certified environment This idea, if it spreads, would not only mean certified inhabitants on the one hand, but certified cities on the other. And why not? Why should not cities which so pro- foundly affect those who are compelled to live in them display some such in- scription as follows?
