Vol. 51—No. 19 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. COWETA AUTO D. W. BOONE, Manager CO.

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.

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. Possible Employer—“H'm! so you want a job, eft? Do you ever tell lie*?" Applicant—“No, sir, but I kin learn." State Law Governing the Oper ation of Automobiles. Any person under the age of 16 that operates a motor vehicle of any kind on the public street or highway, whether owner of the car or driving it for another, Ib guilty of a misde meanor. Any person operating an automobile between the hours of one hour after sunset and one hour before sunriso, without two white lights on the front of same and one red light on the rear, is guilty of a misdemeanor. All persons operating motor-power machines on the public street or high way, whether two, three or four- wheel vehicles, shall not operate them at a speed greater than 30 miles an hour, having due regard for the traffic and common use of such street or high way. Upon approaching any bridge, railroad crossing, dam, sharp curve, dug way or deep descent, or in travers ing same, the operator must have his machine under immediate control, and Bhall not operate said vehicle at a greater speed than 10 miles an hour. All owners of motor vehicles or mo torcycles are required to register same with the Secretary of State and secure a number-plate, which plate shall be attached to the rear of said vehicle, not in a swinging position, but in a position so that the number can be plainly seen. The law compels the sheriff of each county to prosecute any and all persons violating this Act, and the Secretary of State sends an inspector to each county once a month to ascertain whether t4« sheriff is discharging his duty. .

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. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO. New York
