WHY Six-Cylinder Motors Are SUPERIOR
. By R. H. COLLINS, General Sales. Manager Buick Motor Company
If the advantage of the six-cylinder motor had to be defined in one word, that word would be “balance”. Makers of six-cylinder motors contend that this type
of power plant yields the maximum of smooth power that can be obtained without the necessity for more or less costly mechanical sacrifices.
, Theoretically, of course, the smoothness of the power developed by a
motor increases as the cylinders are increased in number. Makers of sixes
contend, however, that beyond a certain point this extra smoothness of
power has no significance to the average motorist. They argue that, for
all practical purposes, the six-cylinder motor supplies power that is
smooth enough to be defined as practically liquid in its flow.
Makers of sixes do not contend that a greater number of cylinders
than six are impractical in a motor. They contend that beyond a certain
point in motor smoothness, any additional smoothness is undiscernable to
the average user. It is just like a thousand-dollnr watch—a nice thing to
own, perhaps, if one has the money to spare, but as a time-keeper not one
whit better than a watch that can be purchased for a hundred dollars.
The Buick Motor Company, of Flint, the world's largest exclusive
manufacturers of six-cylinder- motors, received thousands of inquiries af
ter their “sixes exclusively” announcement, asking why their output
would be confined to that one type; The reply in each instance was to
the effect that the six-cylinder motor offered the greatest possible motor
smoothness and balance that could be built into a motor of simple con
struction. The Buick Company contends that in the present stage of
engineering development to go beyond six cylinders would involve a mechanical complexity and expense which would not be warranted by the advantages gained.
The Buick Company also takes the position that the six is the logical motor from the standpoint of public favor, as well as the standpoint of mechanical
efficiency. Since the announcement that all Buicks would be six-cylinder models, the company has been swamped with a demand for its product.
Buick six-cylinder motors are'built with the valves directly in the top of the cylinders—hence the name “valve-in-head”—so that on the exhaust stroke the
dead gases, in order to get out, travel in a straight line. When the piston starts upward the valve opens and the dead gases, carbon, etc., take a straight shoot for the
opening. They do not have to turn corners of any kind. The opening lies straight ahead. Thus you see the “valve-in-head” motor lends itself to the accommodation
of the natural tendency of air, or gas, to travel in a straight line when it once gets started.
In other types of motors this is not true. In those types the exhaust value is at the bottom of the valve-pocket adjacent to the cylinder. This means that the
dead gases, in order to get out of the cylinder, must make a complete turn. In making this turn these gases strike the cylinder walls, and in consequence there is fric
tion, and this friction retards their flight. It thus happens that a little of the dead gas is left in the cylinder after each explosion. ThiB dead gas, carbon, etc., mixes
with the next incoming charge of gasoline vapor and weakens it. That is why the Buick “valve-in-head” motor is the most powerful motor it is possible to make.
The cylinders are cleaned perfectly, or “scavenged,” after each explosion, so that when the next charge of gasoline enters it is not weakened or diluted by left over
portions of dead gases from the previous explosion. The “valve-in-head” motor is free from the evil known a,s pre-ignition for this same reason.
The great Buick superiority, and the one upon which the Buick Motor Company lays the greatest stress, is correctness of design. The “valve-ip-head” motor
is absolutely correct in principle.
The modern siege gun is built like a Buick “valve-in-head” motor. The submarine boat and the flying machine have the “valve-in-head” type of motor. If
this type of motor was not the best they would not be used in flying machines and submarines.

THE SOUTH IS GOING DRY,
Lay the jest about the julep in the camphor balls
at last.
For the miracle haa happened, and the olden
days are past;
That which made Milwaukee famous does not
, foam in Tennessee,
And the lid in old Missouri is as tight locked as
can be;
And the comic-paper Colonel and his cronies well
may sigh,
For the mint is waving gaily, and the South is
going dryl
By the still side on the hillside in Kentucky all is
still.
And the only damp refreshments must be dipped
up from the rill;
Nawth Ca’lina's stately ruler gives his soda gloss
a shove
And discusses local option with the So’th
Ca'Hna Guv.;
It is useless at the fountain to be winkful of the
eye,
For the cocktail glass is dusty, and the South
is going dryl
It Is "water, water, everywhere, and not a drop
to drink!"
We no longer hear the music of the mellow
crystal clink
When the Colonel, and the Major, and the General
and the Jodge
Meet to have a little nip, to give their appetites
an edge;
For the eggnog now is nogleBs, and the rye
has gone awry.
And the punch bowl holds carnations—for the
South is going dryl
All the nightcapB now have tassels, and are worn
upon the headl
(Not the nightcaps that wore taken whon no
body went to bed;)
And the breeze above the blue grass is solemn as
is death,
For it bears no pungent clove tang on its odor-
ific breath;
And each man can walk the chalk line when the
otara are in the sky.
For the fizz glass now is fizzlesB, and the South
is going dryl
Lay the jest about the julep ’neath the chestnut
tree at last,
For there’s but one kind of moonshine, and the
older days are past:
The water wagon rumbles through the Southland
on its trip,
And it helps no one to drop off to pick up the
driver’s whip;
For the mint beds now are pastures, and the cork
screw hangeth high; »
All is still along the hill-side, and the South Ib
going dryl — LW. Norman Norris.

Trading at Home.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
Of course you know, without being
told, that if you spend your money at
home, it remains at home, is circulated
at home, and you have an 'opportunity
to get it again.
You also know that if you send it away
from home, that you will not get it
back unless you grow or manufacture
something and send it away to the
place where you sent the dollar. In
other words, you have got to send after
that dollar and leave something in its
place before you will ever see it again.
Trading at home is doing something
that iB beneficial to practically all the
people. The man who makes things to
sell,as well as the man who retails them,
finds larger demand for these articles;
and the larger the demand; the larger the
outpu*; and the larger the output, the
larger the number of people engaged in
the work of making or manufacturing;
and the larger the number engaged in
this work, the larger the amount of dol
lars paid to the workers; and the larger
the amount paid, the larger the amount
that goes into circulation in the city,
and so on. You can't fail to see the
point.
It keeps the money at home. In this
way one dollar may be made to pay the
debts of a dozen persons, but if it be
sent aWay it pays that debt only. A
little story—an old one, it is true—illus
trates the point very clearly.
At a boarding-house breakfast table
the lawyer handed to his landlady $10
for board; the landlady handed it to the
grocer to pay an account she had with
him; the grocer turned it over to the
plumber for some work the latter had
done for him; the plumber handed it to
the doctor who had visited him while
he was sick; the doctor handed it to a
merchant to pay for a bill of goods; the
merchant handed it to the lawyer for
some legal work that he had done for
him. Thus it is seen that this ten dol
lar bill had paid about half a dozen
debts, and at the last was in the hands
of the man who started it out on its
mission of debt-paying.
This is the principle of trading at
home.
And why not trade at home? Our
home merchants carry as good stocks
as are to be found in the stores of
*>ther cities, and the prices here are
no higher, if as high, as they are in
other cities. There is nothing to be
gained by sending your money away
from home for goods, but there is much
to be gained by keeping it at home and
in circulation. Columbus people are be
coming more and more impressed with
the benefits to] come to them from
trading at home. It appeals to them
as a good business proposition, and
they are trading at home more largely
than they have ever done before.
But there is room for (still further
improvement along this line. Our peo
ple should allow no opportunity to pass
to boost home industries, because the
home product is as good as the product
of any outsider.
Let us encourage the “trade at
home" idea.
It means so much for all of us.

A Distinctive Reason
What is ‘the chief reason for the superi
ority of Royal Baking Powder ?
There,are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason, which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin.
It means natural food as distinguished from
mineral substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.
