'whereas, WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 19 DURANT MOTOR STANDS TEST Shows Exceptional Flexibil- ity in Climb Model equipped A-22 Durant Cars are all with the new Durant Four Cylinder Motor which recently made such an exceptional showing climbing Uniontown Mountain in high with a load of eight men. Its remarkable flex- ibility is said to be due to its long stroke, which takes full advantage of the expansion of the heated gases, short stroke motors operate principally on the explosion force of the charge. Everyone who has heard the rear of the exhaust of an aeroplane or an automobile using a- cut-out must have realized that a lot of power was wasting out the exhaust line. The designers of the new Durant Durant motor planned to use most of this power ordinarily wasted in short stroke motors and the great power and flexibility of the new Durant motor with resulting freedom from gear shift- ing proves the accuracy of their judg- ment. The new 22-Durant Sedan is uphols- tered in a grade of mohair used only in another line of closed cars, and that line is in the $4,000 class. Formerly only one mill in America produced this high grade of mohair for automobiles and that mill was under exclusive con- tract with the makers of the expensive car mentioned. Durant Motors, Inc., induced a manu- facturer of the same grade of mohair, weaving only for the furniture trade, to change over all cut looms and pro- duce this mohair in automobile widths. The A-22 Durant Sedan is the only sedan in the medium priced field up- holstered with this beautiful and dur- able mohair. The quality of stuffing and workmanship and the platinum fin- ished hardware is in keeping with the superior upholstery material. All Durant and Star cars are built with the patented Durant Tubular Backbone. Its chief purpose is to strengthen the frame and prevent twist- ing strains, however, since it is a long hollow steel tube, the engineers decided it would also serve as an excellent muf- fler. As a result Durant and Star cars not only operate with exceptional quiet but also with a minimum of back pres- sure, thus yielding the benefits of a muffler cut-out without the objection- able, and in many places, illegal noise. The stiffening effect of the tubular backbone prevents that rear axle vibra- tion which is ofen a principal reason for breaking of rear axle gears. Star and Durant are, therefore, particularly free from rear axle trouble. A good motor is a basic essential for a good car, but the only power of the motor that is used is what is trans- mitted to the rear axle. To transmit the power and do it with- out violence or loss is one of the great- est problems of automobile engineering. In this operation, the clutch is the vital factor. There are three chief types of clutches. One well-known car uses transmission bands which slip when worn and when the motor is over- loaded. This slippage acts as a safety factor to prevent breaking the rear axle gears, but, of course, means loss of power. Another well-known make employs the cone clutch. When properly adjust- ed it transmits the full power of the motor, but if "let in" without slipping and resulting loss of power, it jerks the car violently and sometimes breaks the rear axle gears on the universal. The type of clutch used by all the better grade of cars is the disc, which combines the positive action of the cone clutch with the gradual pick up of transmission bands without either the violent action of the cone clutch or the big power loss of transmission bands. The Star car is the only one in the low priced field employing the disc clutch, a feature that appeals particu- larly to former drivers of cars equipped with either of the other types. Big Job to Feed This Array of Banqueters The amount of food that will be con- sumed at the Lakes to the Gulf Water- way banquet at the Rainbo Gardens Oc- tober 6, where 2,500 persons recruited from cities between Saint Paul and New Orleans, will be in attendance, would stagger the average housewife. To feed this aggregation of industrial, state and city representatives will require more than a ton of chicken, 80 gallons of soup, 250 cases of peas, 15 cases of to- matoes, 10 cases of lettuce, 50 gallons of vegetables, 25 bushels of potatoes, 100 gallons of coffee and 400 loaves of bread. One hundred chefs will prepare the food and a small army of waiters will serve it. Fred Mann, owner of the Rainbo Gardens, has given orders to his culinary department to make this the best dinner served to such a large ag- gregation, which will be the biggest banquet ever held in the west. Returns Home to Push Local G. O. P. Campaign Nicholas P. Miller, secretary-treasur- er of the New Trier Regular Republi- can club, and Mrs. Miller have returned from an ex.ended visit in Californ.a, and he has entered upon the strenuous task of assisting in the prosecution of the current political campaign in this vicinity. The New Trier Republican club ex- pects to hold meetings every week until election time, Mr. Miller announced this week. The first session having been held Thursday evening of this week at the Wilmette Village hall. It should be emphasized, he states, that every voter is expected to register on Saturday, October 4, or Tuesday, October 14, to avoid confusion and pos- sible loss of vote on November 4. Judges of election wlil be at the polling places on both Registration and Revision Day, it is explained. STUDENTS TAKE PECULIAR JOBS Undertakers Assistants to Boiler Makers In the old days the college boys who worked their way through Northwest- ern university either waited on table or tended furnaces but not so any more, according to a report made to President Walter Dill Scott by C. D. Norton of the University "Y." Here is a list of the "new day" labor stuff that uni- versity hustlers are now doing : An undertaken phoned in for a stu- dent who would sit around his "parlor ] to give things a more nvely look--and got one. A real estate dealer wanted a pre- seniable clap to show persons around: apartments wh ch he has for rent--and »amed the r ibt man. A deaf stuuca. v.ho wants 0 learn Spanish is still looking for a friendly co-worker to tutor him. It was quite easy to obtain an expert chauffeur "to teach a lady to drive a Ford car--this student got a perma- nent job." A large Evanston hotel wanted a Lively youngster to deliver ice and milk within the building and is paying an N. U. student a regular salary now. A lady wanted a student 'to drive a large sedan car to town for her; she liked his driving and took him to a show. Another student with a flair for cook- ing has obtained a part-time job in a. downtown restaurant. A Russian stu- dent is at Northwestern with no money but ambitious to take an engineering course. Many other foreign students aiso are looking for work while scores ot the regulars are picking up money by washing windows, polishing cars, acting as bellhops and helping Evans- ton housewives clean house. About the toughest job reported to President Scott was that of a student who .works in a boiler factory from seven o'clock at night to seven in the morning and has an eight o'clock class. "In the last week or so we have placed seventy-two men in eighty-one jobs," reported Secretary Norton, "and there are about twenty more who need work at once. The Y. M. C. A. fur- nishes employment service free and re- ceives generous cooperation from both Chicago and Evanston employers."
