Years Greatest and Best
Thing in This Country's
Auto Circles.

The Knight" motor is the latest
in the American automobile business
and 1912 models equipped with it are
already arresting wide attention in
motor car circles. This make of
motor is new thing in this country;
but its great success abroad, where
it is famous, asserts it wide popular
ity in this country It is interesting
to note few of its experiences and
tests in the countries across the pond.
The eDwar trophy is an English
award for the most meritorious per-
Torrance of the year. The Daimler
Knight" motor secured this trophy
by what the press describes as being
"the greatest engine test on record"
In this great test two knight en-
gines were dsed. not especially built
or selected, but regular stock motors
chosen at random.
The test was held under the eyes
of six trained engineers appointed by
the highest authority in Europe, the
Royal Automobile Club.
These two motors were put on the
bench for a period of 1872 hours con-
tinuous running, under heavy brake
load, representing road work at co
lilies an hour with four up in the car,
and ran out the week.
At the weeks end these two engines
were quickly fitted in plce on stand
ard cars, driven from Coventry TO
Brooklands, and did approximately
500 miles a day for four days with
out stoppage or trouble.
Being driven back TO Coventry the
engines were taken out, again erected
on tht bench, and put through final
test of five hours continuous running.
At the end of the test both engines
developed higher power than on the
first day, which is definite proof that
the Knight" engine retains its full
power despite the hardest work i'm,
posed upon it.
When the motors were taken down,
the official report read, mo percep-
tible wear was noticed on any of the
fitted surfaces" Further, the cylinders
were found to be notably clean"-the
ports Of the valves showed no burn
ing or wear Notwithstanding a
piston travel conditioned as not less
than 1000 feet per minute, and large
ly exceeded throughout the test
The running test-roughly $3.50
carried out at an eyerage
speed of over forty miles per hour.
1t was in consequence of this IN

war trophy was awarded the knight
motor. n

TO Be Bull
IN THIS CITY
And Several Other Local In
provements Are Promised
the Board Of Trade.

The local board of trade desires
to announce that, after many weeks
of correspondence with the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
prospects are favorable for many
improvements in the depot facilities
in the very near future.
Immediately after accepting Of
fee here, Mr.. King, secretary of the
board, upon learning conditions rela-
tive to lack of both freight and pas
senger facilities at this point and
the passenger equipment upon the
branch lines in this vicinity, took
up with the Baltimore and Ohio Of
fcials the matter of securing inn
provements in this direction.
For some time there has been an
agitation along the line of securing
Pittsburg train out of Clarksburg
during the evening, to arrive in
Pittsbure early the next morning,
and train out of Pittsburg at night
to take care of the business men and
theater parties out OF that city for
iClarksburg and towns between here
and the former point. The matter
was. therefore, further taken up
with the general passenger agent,
by Mr.. King and co-opera-
tion was solicited through
the chambers of commerce at
Fairmont, Morgantown, Union
town and Pittsburg, to secure the
service desired. He has been as
sured of this cooperation, and the
general passenger agent has also as
sured him that the question of ad-
ditional service will be given care
full consideration at the semi-annual
time table meeting to be held in
Baltimore next month.
The board of trade further gave
its attention to local improvements,
Though the operating departing de-
partment of the BaltirJore and Ohio,

ranged to have up-to-date umbrella
sheds placed at Clarksburg, and that
they would be so placed as to At in

at this point
Clarksburg is to be congratulated
that even start has been made in
the right direction, and the board OF
trade will continue to aggressively
demand such Improvements as are
not only essential to the comforts OF
tho citizens of this community. but
are due them, in recognition of the
immense revenues derived by the
