An invention which, if practica-
ble, will revolutionise the manufac-
ture of automobiles and nil self-
propelled vehicles and undoubtedly
bring wealth and fame to the In-
ventors, has recently been invented
by two Oklahoma men, one of them
a resident, of Enid.
The invention Is a device to place
Power on the front ns well n., Hie
rear wheels of a self-propelled ve-
hicle and il is claimed by local au-
tomoblllsts that the mystery of the
frbnt axle drive has been solved by
these men and it will prow of Incal-
culable value to lovers of autoino-
hlling, particularly those who make
long runs over country roads.
The inventors are Ed 8. Morrow,
formerly of Cestos, but now In this
city, placing the invention on a
Huick F car. with the assistance of
tys brother, A. II. Morrow, and C. M.
Simmons, of Cestos. Mr. Morrow
has resided in Enid a great part of
the time and this city may lay claim
to him as an Enid resident.
Their invention is the result of
study through a long period of time
to solve this question which has
seemed Inevitable to come soon. Oth-
er inventors over the country are
working over the same proposition,
but Mr. Morrow and Mr. Simmons
have already secured their patents.
Living in Cestos, a country re-
mote from railroads and where many
people have invested in aut,os. be-
lieving that with them they would
be enabled to drive the long dis-
tances to be tr&Vpled with greater
satisfaction, they observed that the
most powerful cars -were in a lar^e
degree Impracticable because of the
deep sand frequently encountered.
They reasoned that if it were possi-
ble to place power on all four wheelf
It would do awav with those diffi-
culties and make the auto both re-
liable and practical In the rough
and sandy country. In addition it
would distribute the power over
more parts, diminishing the car and
thereby lengthening its life. It
would hIso save much wear on the
rear tires. T 57
Accordingly they set about to the
task of inventing a power trans-
mission which coulil be attached to
the front wheels without interfering
with the guiding or control of the
machine. Automobilists have Ions
realized the need of such an inven-
tion and various mechanics have
studied to solve the problem. Many
ideas hnve been proposed, but when
nut to the test failed to make good.
Local mechanics saw however, that

• :tll the weight and strain of the ma-
' « bine. Independent of the transmis-
■ sion. as described above.
There will be one of these attach-
ments to each front wheel. The pe-
culiar construction of the transmit-
ter Is such as not to effect the guid-
ance of the wheels in the least. As
proof of this, a thorough and satis-
factory test was made by Messrs.
| Morrow and Simmons to determine
this one point.
1 On the whole, it is a simple and in-
expensive mechanism, and, as esti-
mated, can be attached to cars with
comparatively little additional ex-
pense of the manufacturer.
! Tiie question of making eonnec-
I lion with the engine, providing dif-
ferentials and other extras for prop-
j or operation Is somewhat of a vex-
atious one, and has caused the in-
ventors to study out some original
' Ideas along that line. It is believed
by all who have examined the work-
ing of the invention that the prob-
lem is solved In every detail, and
that the boon long desired by au-
tomobilists is realized.
The great difficulty in driving
autos through deep sand or mud lies
in the fact that with present models
the power of the engine can be got-
the total income. Reports
only taken from heads of families,
and on an average tjiey are each
providing for three persons. The av-
erage annual income from all sourc-
es, which include their salaries and
revenue from any investment they
may have, is given as $068.50 for
each person, while the average cost
for food alone is $240.99 per year
or 36 per cent. The report shows
there to be an additional average
of $132.21 to the living cost for
fuel, clothing, sickness and rent,
making the total average cost in
Oklahoma $473.20 for the person
reporting. The average daily ex-
pense per person for food alone is
given as 21c.
Conductors Leaders.
Railroad conductors top the list as
individual wage earners, their aver-
age income being $1,443.33, and
they are shown to work 342 days
per year, which is the greatest of
any craft, with 62 per cent the cost
of their living. The lowest in the
cost of living scale is the retail
clerkb. who average $658 per year
income, spend $359 for living, of
which $154 is for food, making the
total cost of their living 54 per cent
of their total income. The lowest
income per year is recorded for ma-'
chinlsts' helpers, who draw as wag-
es an average of $" 02.40, very
ten to the ground through two ! tie coming from independent invest
wheels only, while this new improve
ment will enable the power to reach
the ground nt four points Instead of
two .thus removing almost everv por.
sIHIity of getting "stuck" on even
unusually bad roads. Often on slick
toads the hind wheels slide, *in-l in
deep mud or sand they burrow down
until the engine is choked down and
the machine stops. All these diffi-
culties are met in the new invention.
A company has been organized
composed of business men of Mutual
and Cestos, for the purpose of fi-
nancing the building of a machine
ments, with the average cost of food
for each person only 21c, the total
cost of living for this class being
J per cent greater than their aver-
age incomes.
Printers Second.
Printers who put in an average of
296 days at their work are second
fn the 11st of wage earners, averag-
ing $1,311.85, the cost of living be-
ing $773.57, or 58 per cent. This
craft is closely followed by locomo-
tive engnieers, who average 253
days at the throttle, a daily wage
of $1.58. with a total average in-
for a thorough and rigid test of the come of $1,302.20. They buy less
practical workings of the new inven- j food than printers, with their total
tlon. 'ost of living 1 per oent higher.

or 74 per cent, 36 per cent being for
food supplies. Locomative firemen
push the last named craft closely,
showing a total average income of
$1,051.66, with the cost of living
equaling 60 per cent, and food 37
per cent. Electricians get in 327
days at their jobs, receive 43c per
hour on an average, show a total
income of $1,047.60, with the cost
of living 6 4 per cent. Their food
only costs 28 per cent of the total
expenditures. Machinists average 277
days work, an income of $1,005.20,
show 6? per cent as tho cost of liv-
ing, and 33 per cent for food alone.
Mod Carriers.
Hod carriers are accredited with
190 days at their trade, with a re-
markably low income of $580 and
the cost of living reaching 91 per
cent, which Is the second greatest
of the crafts shown. Their food
costs 55 per cent of their earnings,
and few of those reporting show
ownership of property or income
from investments. Bricklayers re-
ceive Z$c per hour, work on an av-
erage of 152 days a year, and earn
$914.40, of which 75 per cent is
spent in living. Their food costs on
the average of $355 per year.
Carpenters.
Carpenters, another skilled craft,
set in 233 days, at an average of
42 l-2c per hour, and show an av-
erage income of $849.41, and the
cost of living 68' per cent. Painters
are accredited with 50c per hour
■I pay. working 245 days, and it costs
them 61 per cent to live. Barbers
usually put in twelve hours a day
: when working, at $2.51 per day, and
spend 77 per cent of their average
income or $808 for living expenses.
Miners are drawing $3.16 per day,
work 169 days a year, with an av-
erage income of $" 8J, of which IS
,J,per cent goes for living.
School Teachers.
Teachers were not included in the
last report of the labor commission-
er, Those holding state certificates
show an average income of $780.8".,
their living expenses equaling 66
per cent. First grade teachers aver-
age $677 a year income and carve
the living problem down to 63 per
cent of that amount on an average.
Second grade certificate holders can
only gather $527.95 a year, with
tastes that consume 69 per cent for
living, while third grade teaehers are
shown with an annual income of
$470.78, and 66 per cent the cost of
living purposes. School teachers save
cent of their incomes for food alone.
More Made, More Spent.
Considered, by classes, the old
rule of "the more a man makes the
more he will spend without regard
for the 4ay of reckoninng," boPs
as good as It does when the trades
are considered individually. Hail-
road trainmen, including ^fonduc-
ors, engineers, brakemen and fire-
men, average In age 35 years, get In
286 days, usually at ten hours each,
and show a total income of $1,184.
They only average a saving of
: $337 per year. Miscellaneous trades
closely follow with an average in-
come of $904.84, with an average
expenditure for cost of living ;
$670.97. Members of the build-
ing trades average in age 37 years,
are third in the list of incomes, the
average being $875, all of which
save $Sl per year being spent for
living purposes, chool teachers save
ou an average of $ 119 per year.
Average Age :l;l.
The twenty-seven organizations
and crafts reporting show that the
average age of the Oklahoma work-
ing man is 33 years, and two-thirds
are marired. Of the number 25 per
cent own their homes, the average
value beiug $1,594.84, and the av-
erage incumbrance being $67" .
Those who pay rent pay an average
of $15 per month and the size of
the house averages four rooms. In
wages the average is 48c per hour,
the average Income from labor being
$607.29 and the average received
from other sources, such as invest-
ments. $1 49.49.
