Inventor Knight To Lecture Upon
 ''SiIent'' Motor

Charles Y. Knight, inventor and explofter of the sleeve-valve motor that has revolutionized automobile building in two hemispheres, sailed from England for the United States on the Campania Saturday. This in- formation was brought by w. Owen Thomas, consulting engineer for the licensees of the Knight engine khas just returned from six months trip to England and the continent, during which he spent much of his time visiting the plants of the Daimler Co.,, at Coventry, England, the Panhard Mercedes and Minerva factories on the continent, all of which have adopted the Knight engine for their output. a MT. Thomas, with years of experi- ence as a mechanical engineer, de- signer of motor cars and expert on machinery, was well equipped to study the operations of the biggest plants of the eastern hemisphere where the under Knight licenses and compiled valuable synopsis of all the best points of the manufacturing features of the foreign plants.
 In a measure MT. Thomas sphere of activity, now that he has returned from the field of foreign licensees. is that of a clearing house director for the benefit of all the American licen- sees. He will endeavor to give the latter the benefit not only of his data but his expert direction on nianufac- turing and shop practice.
 The American licensees include the Stearns, Columbia, Stoddard-Dayton and the Russell Motor Car Company of Toronto.
 One of MT. Thomas first missions will be to visit the plants that turn out the Knight cars and the engineers will be permitted to learn by MT. Thomas personal experience much of the advance nannfa curing plans of the foreign licensees.
 Not a little of the engineering ex- ploration abroad at this time. MT. Thomas says is directed toward the application of the Knight principle in motor construction to the truck build ing problem. Manufacturers of pow CT vehicles in England and on the ointment are eager to apply the sleeve type of motor to their trucks. The engineers have demonstrated to them by strenuous road and shop tests that the life of the engine is longer than in the poppet type of motor, that the fexibility and reliability are greater, the power application traver- sing the function from low to high speed without changes of gears.
 Frank Ellsworth Lonas, who has so ably managed the legal department connected with the exploitation and installation of the Knight engine in and America, said yesterday that during his short stay of ten days in the United States, MT. Knight. will deliver lectures on the development of the Knight type of motor and it's revolutionary effect upon the great plants of Europe, sailing back to Eng land on October 4. New York, Detroit and Chicago are in his itinerary, re- quests for technical addresses having been filed with the inventor ,at Gov entry from interested motor men in each of these cities.

upon the consumer instead of upon wealth.
 The second objection is that in or der to pay the tariff tax the consun- CT must pay a profit that will average 25 per cent. of the amount of the others who are first hand payers of the tariff.
 The, third and principal objection is that an excessive tariff shuts out competition from abroad. Therefore, in all cases where the home market has been closed by combination or monopoly, the price charged is not a competitive price, but monopoly.
 So a reduction in the tariff brings three savings to the consumer; the amount that he saves in taxation, a sum equal to 25 per cent. of such amount paid as a profit to investors in the tax, and very large sum that would be saved on the cost of goods sold in competition.
  cessive tariff in use in this country is to greatly increase the price of most commodities. Undoubtedly the price of many of these commodities would fall if the tariff were reduced to level permitting competition.
 Much sounder was MT. Berger in his views on free trade as a practical measure at this time. There are virtually no free traders, in America, except manufacturers who feel. able to compete with the world, importers and in some cases merchants.
 It is natural that MT. Berger should be a high tariff economist, since his origin is German and since Germany has one of the highest protective tariffs in the world.
 It is to be hoped that Mr. Berger will modify his tariff argument in the future, for the sake of himself and his party The subject with which he deals has, as he says, been in agitation for hundred years or more.
 The tariff is too well understood by too many citizens to make unconsid- cred and unscientific utterances about it source of strength to those who impart such information.

His can flow from lower tariffs is the sum that each individual in the na- ton would receive if the total popu- lation were divided into the total amount of the reduction is so dis ingenious as to appear like deliber- ate insincerity

NINE HORSES PERISH
 IN STABLE BLAZE

Nsw Haven. Sept. 23.-Nine horses were burned to death in Q fire which almost completely destroyed the barns of Henry Konold and Sons, coal deal CTS, at the corner of Ferry and Yer non streets last night and caused about $7,000 damage. The origin of the fire has not yet been ascertained. Luckily the barn was some distance from other buildings in that vicinity, and consequently there was little dan ger from a spread of the flames. The wood of tho structure burned readily.

and the flames, which mounted high in the air, cast lurid reflection in the sky, which caused excitement all over the city.
 When the fire broke out there were 20 or 30 horses in the barn, but>most of them were gotten out before they were injured. The nine that were burned to death were those in the part of the barn immediately about where the blaze started, and were hemmed in before they could be taken out in safety

Salmon P. Chase, founder of the Ma

GARBLED QUOTATIONS.
Popular Passages That Are Frequently
Rendered Incorrectly.

Almost everybody who quotes at all
misquotes. Nothing is more common
than to hear:
A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion STILL
This is an impossible condition of
mind, for no one can be convinced of
one opinion and at the same time hold
to an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was eminently sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
A famous passage of'Scripture Is Of
ten misquoted thus: HE that is with
out sin among you let him cast the
first stone" 1t should be. Let him
first cast a stone"
Sometimes we are told, Behold, how
great u fire little matter kindleth,' '
whereas ST. James said. Behold. how
great matter little fire kindleth,"
which is quite different thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as a mile." which is not as sensible
or forcible as the true proverb, "a
miss Of an inch is as good as u mile"
