Unusual conditions amounting TO an
epoch in mechanical research among
French automobile engineers obtain
in France and in various other coun-
tries of Continental Europe as the re-
suit OF the vogue of the sleeve-valve
knight motor in the biggest motor
car factories of Europe. Inventive
geniuses have run riot in the engineer
ing departments in an effort TO pro
duce slide-yalve motors that will not
be infringements upon the Knight
patent and To refine the poppet-valve
types of motors in an effort TO make
them more silent in operation.
One we'll known French maker has
announced for next season a type or
slide-valve engine that he thinks will
bear cluose comparison with the
Knight type; Other concerns in
France are experimenting with n
rota-y-valve motor that only recently
was given severe road tests. Prac-
teal demonstrations Of this motor :
efficiency are being watched in the
taxicab service I'm Paris.

public highways OF this country. Dur
ing the past few years a marked i'm

largely been due to the advance OF
the automobile industry. Speaking of
the Improvement of the public high

that the autoists are doing much in
aiding this association in improving

This association is composed of
practically all the autoists OF the
country and they are cooperating
with the officials in improving public
roads. Writing from Washington. Mr.
Light states that he has now succeed

officials at once take up the matter
OF improving the roads in places
where they are in almost an impassi-

rapid progress being made in road
building in not only West Virginia.
but IN other Estates. Thousands and
thousands of dollars are secured each
year by the association which Mr.
Light represents. and all of the funds
are expended in improving the high
ways.
Automobile owners everywhere are
pretty we'll agreed that in choosing
a car the first and most important
thing Is to choose the maker. The
purchase OF an automobile involves
a sufficient amount TO warrant a very
searching investigation as to his

years. The older makes are so well
standardized. and so little change
appears from year 10 year. that the
quality OF a car like the Rambler

In choosing the maker the first
requirement is that OF stability. The
finances OF the maker should be
