The following facts are CLEANED from

The largest single factor in regard

six cylinder engine over the four

for a 10 per cent variation. at a speed
Of 800 revolutions per minute. gives a
weight Of III pounds for the fywheel

the same speed and variation the weight
OF the rim need only be fifteen pounds.
This illustrates the effect Of the great

crank shaft in the case OF the xix cylin-
der engine.
These weights include fywheel. cone
clutch and spring. caTbUTetor and inlet
piping. exhaust branch pipe and water

IN this case the six cylinder engine
weighed sixteen pounds more than the
four. This extra weight is due 10 the
fact that the fywheel OF the six cylinder
engine was made heavier than theOret-
iCally necessary, and the fywheel Of the
four cylinder engine was not made quite
as heavy as theory indicated. However.
apart from this. IL Is quite evident from
the above that six cylinder engine can
be made lighter than a four Cylinder
engine Of equal horsepower, as in this
case the six cylinder engine develops

Single Cylinder
The Ideal for
Business Nan
By ]. c. CUNNINGHAM,
In Country Life in America.

For a practical busy mans car. ! do
not advocate more than one or two cyl
inders.
There Is a craze for the other cars
just now. but they have drawbacks for
the man who must esonomize. OF
course, in very high-pOwered engines, It
is necessary to go beyond four.
In the recent Glidden contest two
cylinder car finished with a perfect
score "a REQ touring carr doing all that
the four and six cylinder cars were
required to do. The four and six cylin-
der advocates talk Of their even torque,
their extra number Of explosions TO the
revolution, the lack OF vibration with
the coDsequent reduction of strain on
all parts the hexibility OF control with
out changing speed. etc. But they sag
nothing about adding more compiled
ton. more weight, more wheel base,
extravaganza in fuel and oil, and wear
Of tires There is a fascination in
running a four or a six cylinder car
that is not found in the one or two
cylinder car, and to the man OF means
| would certainly say own one"
As 10 the siX-CylinGer cars, they
showed more vibration In the English
trials anu have yet 10 excel the four
cylinder cars In racing. Taking for i'll
stance the lesson learned from the last
Grand PriX in France and the haiser's
Cup raye IN Germany, il was a four
cylinder car, driven by NazLaTO, that
won botn OF the events. There were
four eight-Cyhnder cars and one six
cylinder car in this contest and none Of
them gained any honoTs.
But returning 10 the car for the busy
mantle man not believing IN COnvcn-
JiOnal ideas and desiring a car for bus
mess ONLY would advise buying a
one or two cylinder fOur-cyCle car
There are several reliable models OF
these cars on the market and with
proper handling they viii give SatisfaC-
ton. For knocking about town, where
fast speed Is not allowed. a good sin
gle-cylinder car is all one needs, and
will cost less for fuel, oil and plugs
than CIR with more cylinders
Every cylinder you get adds more fuel
and more oil, j must be remembered
that every cylinder OF the fOuT-CyClU
type adds one more plug TO replace
occasionally, two more valves 10 care
for. two more cams, two more springs,
and one more connecting rod with its
two bearings to adjust occasionally.
If ones business requires a more pow
eTful car. IL can easily be found In the
two-Cyinder class. 4 Well-bullt two
cylinder car viii give little more trOu-
Die then one cylinder, but II viii be
more expensive in fuel, oil and plugs.

4-CUlindeT Car
Enduring Type;
Most Reliable
By c. f. REDEEM,
In AufnTnnhiIe

When the automobile was i'm is in
fancy the single-cylinder motor was
popular; first, because Of its simplicity,
and, second, because il was easy TO
manufacture and most economical to
run.
This type, while highly satisfactory
from the standpoint Of reliability, was
objectionable on account Of excessive
vibration. with the advent OF the
twO-cylinGer motor a large amount OF
this vibration was eliminated, but not
all Both the three-cylinder and four
cylinder motors were built, the three
cylinder surviving but very short
time, not so much on account of imper-
feet balance as on account Of diff
Guilty of manufacture.
The four-cylinder motor has become
standard because it produces a smooth
running engine with a minimum of COM
plicatiOns The six-cylinder advocate
points out that II the two-cyIInder Is
better than the one and the four better
than the two. that it is only logical the
six should be better than the four. but
this does not necessarily follow Rea-
soning this way it might be pointed
out that the eight OF twelve-cylinder is
better than the six, but in the manufac-
turing OF every article a certain stand
arc is attained which practice and eK-
perience have shown 70 be most salts
factory and beyond which no great ad-
vantage IS obtainabIe.
II seems 10 me that the logical way
10 look at the matter is that the power
required necessarily governs the num-
Der of cylinders. It has been proven
by experience. and designers are gen
orally agreed, that a 5x5 or a 5lzx6-
inch cylinder is about the maximum
that IT is advisable 10 make. There
fore, for cars up 20 Al or even 60
horsepower the fOur-cyIinder motor full
fills every requirement. while for an
engine rated at say 70-horsepower,
10 IS perhaps advisable. though not
necessary, TO increase the number Of
cylinders in order that each separate
unit may not be TOO large.
/ am fully convinced that the standard
touring car Of the present time as we'll
as the future. will be fitted with "a four
cylinder motor Of approximately -
horsepower. This type Of motor car viii
appeal TO a large conservative class OF
az distinct utilities and who are not az
fected by fad or fancy. and who are
also quite averse TO paying for the need
less carrying Of weight or burning OF
fuel.

After several years of unavailing ef-
fort on the part OF prominent Virginians
and Washington automobile owners il
at last looks as il there is q possibility
of constructing a boulevard between
Washington and Mt Vernon.
The local auto club has taken up the
fight and several Representatives who
appreciate the value Of good roads main

uTe and il is likely that a bill viii be
introduced at the present session for a

The promoters figure 1t out in this
wise During the war the Government
contracted a debt to the State of
Virginia Since Uncle Sam has recently
evinced disposition 10 pay this debt
and since the amount is not exactly
