AUTOMATIC SHIFT
Power Cylinder Exerts 16
Pounds Pressure at Touch
of Finger Not Even
'Click' Is to Be Heard
By WILEY M ALONE Y
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
DETROIT, Mich., Aug. J4. (UP)
A new automatic gear-shifting device
that work a smoothly w two alleys
or banann slipping Into a plate of
cream and n almply as a self-starter,
waj put through its paces today by
E O. Hill, Its io-lnventor.
There have been scores of automatic
devices invented for this purpose, but
none, according to Hill, is as simple
as the gadget developed by blnucK
and H. W. Hey.
"To begin with," he pointed ouf.
"It depends upon an entirely new
principle.
. "You ace," he explained, "there are
three tubes running up the steering
column to a control device under
your little finger. Tho tubes control
three 'poppet' valve that are sus
pended In a vacuum. The valves con
trol a 'power cylinder" that pulls with
18 pounds pressure. That's at least
10 times stronger than any other do
vlce of a similar nature, and probably
more. Almost all other automatic
gear shifts have been worked with
electricity."
"But ,Doc, what if your motor
stops?"
"Well then, of course, you can't
drive anyhow. No other similar gad
get works under those conditions
either."
After pointing out the small con
trol valves and the power cylinder, he
askei an observer to get into the car.
There was no need, even getting In
from the right side of the car, to de
tour around the gear shift and
emergency levers. They were not
there. The emergency brake was oi
the other side of the car under the
cowl.
"Start the car," H1U commanded
When that was done, he said, "Okay,
now aqutggle tho finger lever there
down Into the Mow' position."
The lever was mounted under the
steering wheel within easy reach of
the little finger, ft worked easily
through Its conventional "H" shaped
groove.
"Now," he said, "put your foot on
the clutch."
The car moved away without a
sound.
"Now," he said, "put the lever in
second."
Tho car kept moving along,
"Step on the clutch."
There was no click. One did not
know Just when the gears had me&hed
except from the sound of the motor.
The same maneuver was made to get
into "high."
"You see," he explained, "it's pre
selecttve. But Its real feature Is
quietness."

TAKEN BY DEATH
Hal Byron Nye, bom at Romeo,
Michigan, September 29, 1868, passed
away on the evening of August 13,
following a gradual decline in health.
He spent most of his boyhood in
Michigan, though he had been west
several ' times with his father, who
was engaged In mining In Colorado,
near the present site of Leadvllle. In
his 'teens he worked at various em
ployment In tho frontier towns, carry
ing mall, freighting by team and
street-car driving. He drove the first
horse-car through the city of Helena,
Montana.
Mr. Nye's early life was Interesting
with varied experiences of the fron
tier. He followed the paths of the
mining Industry and agriculture. In
1885 he secured a lease on the North
ern Pacific mine In Montana where
he remained until 1890 when he
bought a farm In Flathead county
near Kallsptl.
In tho spring of 1900 he came to
Medford and opened up the Bill Nye
mine near Gold Hill. On July fith he
struck very rich ore, some averaging
$63,000 to the ton.
He was married to Mlns Llllie Greg
ory .February 9, 1902, and they have
spent most of their married life here
and In Jackson county. In 1908 he
purchased the old Colvlg homestead
near Gold Hill, planting the fine or
chard now owned by Mr. and Mrs.
Grey.
' He was a lover of flowers and trees,
and wherever he lived and however
small the plot of ground, he found
a place to plant some living thing,
which blossomed In response to the
kindly touch of his deft fingers.
Always Interested In the progress
of the community In which he lived,
Mr. Nye took an active part In it
civic life and activities, and he will
be sadly missed by old and new
friends. He had been a member of
the Methodist Episcopal church since
1902.

wife, one daughter, Mrs. Delia Mc

MANILA (UP) Pan-American
Airways is constructing a new base on
Canacao bay, near the Cavlte navy
yard and across Manilla bay from
Manila, to provide better protection
for the big Clipper planes during
typhoon weather.
Thus far the Clippers have landed
at a barge anchored a few hundred
yards offshore from Manila, which
provides a good mooring for planes.
But no facilities are available for
hauling them out of the water.
Neither Is their safety assured In case
of severe storms.
Pan-American officials planned
heretofore, should bad weather neces
sitate, to move the plane from Manila
Bay.
The new base, between Cavlte and
Sangley Point, about seven miles by A
water and 25 miles by land from
Manila, will have a wooden ramp
from the shore to the water, which
will permit planes to be drawn up on
land, secured, overhauled and serv
iced. The watere of the bay are more
sheltered behind the point on which
Cavlte is located. This will permit
landing and taking off under weather
conditions which might make It Im
possible in Manila harbor.
Although Manila harbor ia pro
tected by breakwaters, the water Is
frequently rough enough in typhoon
season' to make landing and taking
off difficult. The new location la ad
vantageous for this reason.
The new base is being constructed
on a site formerly owned by the Earn
shaw Docks and Honolulu Iron Works.
unwpvpr. Pan-American officials do
not consider it more than temporary
base, as they have uiumaie yiana vi.
constructing adequate facilities closer
to Manila. The distance to Cavlti la
somewhat of a handicap. Officials
desire to have the base as convenient
to the public as possible.
The Pan-American radio station v
will remain a its present location
near Fort McKlnley.
