/ SATURDAY EVENING,
Studebaker Cars Had Runs
in Every State This Week
The greatest and most remarkable
automobile reliability run ever attempt
ed by a manufacturer began Monday
In nearly every State of the Union and
continued four days. 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.

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. To

collect carbon, and hold It, grooves
are cut in the sleeves above and below
the exhaust ports. 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. It is
simply a case of every one of forty

other on bright skies and sunshine,

the slough of despond," continued Mr.
Wlllman.
"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. Of
course, we use the big national maga
zines but we do that to introduce our
product to gain for it the confidence
