HTAil INTENTS MA NT THINGS Ipartment to rfet bearing that would withstand at rain of sugar rant mill 14 to' th discovery of the principle and to the development f the Hyatt rollar tearing. John Wesley Hyatt, the Inventor, die closed that Intrrtatlng fact recently at on ei the several little celebretlona In honor of bla ovnty-clghth birthday an nlvmrsarr. It sraa In 1IM that Mr. Hyatt tii work trig with hla sugar can mill. He had per fected a, mill superior to any then usrd, both In Ita efficiency for Increasing the poreontago ef pure atractlon from tha eano and In greatly dlmlnlahtng the time necessary for tha operation. Tha great at trouble ha experienced with the mechanism waa with tha bearlnga. Tha enea he waa ualnf .were obtained In the open market, but they did not prove satisfactory. Mr. Hyatt aay that, without an efficient antl-frlctlon bearing, he muat gtvo up hla mill project. Ha, therefore, gave his at tention to this new problem tha per fection of an antl-frlctlon bearing. The firat axpertniants were with wood rollera. Then bo worked with solid steel rollers. with roJcanaed pipe and 1th tubing- using many different types of cages and retaining bars. After aevaral years 1 research and Ex periment, tha Hyatt flexible roller waa developed and a company organised for Ita manufacture. The bearing first was mada in a emaJI building In Newark, N, J. Boon new buildings were necessary and there has been a continual Increase of manufacturing facilities atnre that time. At present three new buildings- which will Inorssso tha plant's floor pace by a third ore being erected at Newark and two others are under con struction In Detroit. In addition, the Hyatt company haa service branches In eight different cities In the United Rates. While Mr. Hyatt's name Is known na tionally bp million! In connection with the antl-frlctlon bearing he haa been granted patent pn Inventions along many diversified lines, the total belnn over 5nO. He was awarded the Perkln medal some time ggo, and his name was placed be side that of Hlr William Henry Perkin and the six great American chemists who previously had received that honor. Started Oat as Printer. The founder of the Hyatt company wa born n Starkey, N. T., in 1837. He worked first as a Journeyman printer, and In 1S61 took out his first patent papers covering a family knife sharpener, which Included a new method for making solid emery wheel. .. Later he went to Albany, where he worked as a Journeyman printer. Seeing an offer of SIO.000 for a substitute for ivory for billiard balls Mr. Hyatt began experimenting In the hope of gaining the reward. He made a number 'of useful plastlg tempestuous, none ef which, how over, was good enough for billiard balls. These experiments led him- rata the man ufacturo of checkers and dominoes made of pressed wood, and, wtth bis two broth ers, no established what la now known ae the Kmboaaing Company of Albany. Mny; expertment-.4ollowod along - di versified lines, and many patents were taken, am6ng them one-which covered the fundamental invention of oelluloid in .establishing the Celluloid eomnany o Newark Mrv Hyatt had associated with him hla brother.

Men to Storm the Omaha Auto Show Startling Spark Plug Facts Given The state ef Michigan claims thirty- three large manufacturers of motor cars. Twenty-four of the thirty-three use a Michigan made spark plug known aa the A O plug. , Sixteen of tha thirty-three builder are located In Detroit alone. Of this number all but four use A C plug. Thl. conclusive proof of sperlority thla wonderful record ' la held by the Champion Jznltlon company of Flint. Mica., manufacturers el 'C plugs. Not only are these plugg used on Michigan built ears, btH they will be found aa standard, equipment oh mast of the high claa car mad In America. Mr. Champion claim there are only a few makes of cars not equipped with A C plug. Tbe present A C plug popularity haa been acquired purely en quality and performance. , , Jt I to In Interest of every car builder t equip hla car with the beat ignition yatem possible. It is the heart of tha motor the element that goesfar toward spelling success or failure for th car. Builders recognize the folly of using poor plugs. ' ' MITCHELL INSTRUCTION BOOK DISTRIBUTION That the Mitchell-Lewis Motor company hit upon the most popular scheme of im parting Information on the cars and oper ation of an automobile when It put out Itn fifty-page brochure is made known at tho general office at Racine.

It la held that If the dealer writes for the Inatruc tlon book tho owner la not so likely to regard it ae a valuable asset aa If he himself Applied for It." . - "Since more than 4,000 owner of the new Mitohall are listed In the United Ptates and almost five times that many instruction book havai been distributed upon owner' card applications, thcro must be a very general use of the book by others. I don't marvel over this, for the book is more comprehensive gnd ex planatory than wer some of the ponder oua and technical onea that used to be old for 12 a volume when the motor car Industry was in It early daya. Every poajilbla trouble that a man might have with an automobile I designated in this book along with tho other things,. Small wonder that an Interested car owner will road It from 'kiver to klver.'
