The cars used In the test were regular stock, takei) from models the dealers participating had on hand at the time the run was ar ranged. All the cars engaged in the contest were 1916 Studebakers, not one of which had been "tuned" up for the event. Kach car was to cover 250 miles per day, making In the aggregate 1,000 miles. Everywhere, according to re ports received by the Studebaker Cor poration. an unusual degree of interest lias been manifested, great crowds turning out along the courses select ed to watch the cars speed by. In some of the States rain put the roads In the worst of conceivable con ditions, but perfect scores were regis tered. notwithstanding. The average running time for the 250 miles was eight and one-half hours, though the I>ansing, Mich., dealers covered 263 miles in exactly seven hours time. The speed maintained ranged from 27 V 4 miles per hour to in excess of fifty miles, the authorities along the vari ous courses very kindly temporarily calling off limits. A 1816 Studebaker Four was used at Syracuse, N. Y., and made the required distance In eight and one-half hours. The highest speed attained by tills car was fifty miles an hour, and nearly one hundred miles was over unimprov ed roadway, through hard rains. Doors on Jackson Open by Touching a Button "Where are the door catches? How shall we open the doors?" Queried a customer of a local Jackson dealer, as he looked at the new Jackson model "8 4." Then, on closer observa tion, he became aware that instead of the usual catch or lock, the Jackson is equipped with a new type push button, countersunk in a neat metal frame flush with the door. Pressure on this button immediately opens the doors. This does away entirely with any chance of tearing dresses, pockets, etc., In the catches and removes the risk of doors being accidently opened. These door latches are of the very latest type and rock on a pivot Instead of sliding back and forth in their sockets. Moreover, the doors are so equipped with rubber bumpers of the "Li" type that when closed they are held tight in both directions and cannot rattle. This is one of the many little refinements denoting care and attention to details that pleases buyers.

L t HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH Knight Motor Advantages Demonstrated by Pictures H. H. Hower, who entertained a large audience at the Engineers' lec ture room Thursday evening with an Illustrated lecture on the Willys- Knight sleeve-type motor, said in part: "The design and operation of the valves largely determine the success of any motor. The valves must open fully, to permit a maximum quantity of fresh gas to enter the cylinders and to allow "dead" gas to leave the cylin ders; they must be tightly closed to prevent any gas entering or leaving the cylinders when gas is being coin pressed and when the explosion Is taking place. And they should always open and close at exactly the right time. "The wide opening and positive closing of its sleeve valves make the Knight motor superior to motors ol all other types. "In general, valves in autompblle motors are of two kinds—poppet valves and sleeve valves, the former being in most common use. "A poppet valve is opened by a cam —a projection on a revolving shaft — which strikes it upward as the revo lution of the shaft brings the cam into contact with a push-rod below the stem of the valve. It is closed by a spring. "In the Knight motor there are two sleeves—round shells of cast iron—in each cylinder, operating between the cylinder wall and the piston—one working within the other. Each of these sleeves is raised and lowered by a connecting rod from an eccentric shaft. This eccentric shaft is oper ated the same as the camshaft in a poppet-valve motor. "In any mechanism the simplest de sign is invariably the most efficient. The fewer the parts, and the simpler the operation, the less chance there Is for friction and wear. It is for this reason and because positive action is to be preferred, that engineers never use springs and cams as an Important part of any mechanism except as a last resort. "Consider now the construction of the Knight type sleeve-valve motor, as compared with an ordinary poppet valve motor: "There are no stems In the Knl&ht motor to warp and wear no springs to weaken —no valves to pit and re quire constant grinding—no adjust ments to make. "The sleeve valves operate with positive mechanical precision at all speeds. Their operation is as posi tive as the valves in a steam engine. "The operation of the poppet valve is a constant hammering of steel on steel. This hammering occurs at two places—the cam agalnrt the stem and the head of the valve against its seat. And the hammering occurs when the valve is subjected to an Intense heat, for Its head is inside the combustion chamber. "Because of this hammering, the i very operation of the poppet valve it self causes it to warp and loosens the valve In Its seat. "There is no hammering in the Knight type motor. The sleeve valves are raised and lowered by connecting i rods. Their action is regular. They j slide smoothly, between the piston and cylinder wall, always covered with a film of oil. "In a poppet-valve motor compres sion is held by the valves. The valves operate against springs, and against the resistance of gas. And to hold compression the valves must fit tightly. "Unlike the valves in a poppet-valve motor, the sleeves in the Knight do not operate against sprlngß nor against the pressure of gas in the cylinders, for the sleeves in the Knight do not hold compression. Because of this 'the sleeves are not fitted tightly: their I surfaces are always covered with a 'film of oil and their whole travel is less than one inch, at half the speed of the motor—one-ninth of the piston travel: the friction resistance and w ear is negligible. "Wherever an explosion takes place, carbon is formed. In a poppet-valve motor this carbon deposits on the heads of the pistons and on the seats and on the heads of the valves. "This deposit of carbon eats into the valves where they seat. This is known as "pitting." And "pitting" of valves Is one of the most common troubles experienced with poppet-valve motors, for this eating away causes leaky com pression. "Catbon, which forms so rapidly in a poppet-valve motor as to seriously affect its operation and, therefore, ne cessitates frequent cleaning, is barely noticeable in a Knight type motor, even after two or three years of ser vice. "What little carbon does form Is beneficial. Indeed, the sleeve valves In the Knight motor are designed to encourage the deposit of carbon.

In tills way the Knight sleeve-valve motor employs to advantage a factor that in motors of other types is a disadvantage."

Prosperity Throughout Country Says Willman George L. Willman, assistant sales and advertising manager for the Stude baker Corporation, has returned from visiting the larger distributing agen cies for Studebaker in the Middle West and Southwest. Mr. Willman took advantage of every opportunity for sizing up the business situation of the different territories and comparing in his investigations what he could hear and see. "Nothing," said Mr. Willman, "could apparently have been more pleasing to the agencies I visited than the telegraphic messages that were sent from the Detroit factories to Stude baker representatives that September had proven to be the greatest month for the production of cars tn the his torv of Studebaker. And nothing. I know, could have been more pleasing to me, than the orders for Studebakers that were shown me at different points I visited. Dealers who have already gone above their contracts told me that with the. assurance Studebaker could promptly take care of addi tional orders within a reasonable time, they would now book orders which require little more proceeding than that of signing up. "This condition with the automobile business, and prevailing as it seem ingly does v 'ith other lines, can Indi cate only that these United States of America are riding on the crest of a wave of unprecedented prosperity. Insofar as I can recall, it is the first time in the history of this country that every part of it has been prosper ous at the same time. I have been all through the corn belt, and this vear's crop will be the most valuable the country has ever produced. The frost which came, per schedule, was so light that its effect was helpful, more, than anything else. "The cotton crop may not come up to its usual size, but the price is right for the planter, which is more consol ing than an overproduction.

"When one stops to think It over, can they recall any time when the newspapers carried more advertising than was the case during the period of depression?" Going further into a discussion of the subject of advertising, Mr. Wlll man said, "In direct sales, newspaper advertising is the best medium.
