There are about thousand automobiles

are Of American manufacture. The cars
Of English and French make seem TO have

not all OF the cars sent out from the

to these Eastern dealers as have the cars
from England and France. IL our Amer-
can cars are 70 gain a secure hold On the
markets Of India we must ship only those
that will stand UP with the foreign makes.
It Is purely a question Of competition, and
the only way we can win out is 10 deliver
better goods
THE cars that occupy the most favored
positions are the four and five passenger
models The two-passenger cars are not
as popular and are outnumbered by the
cars Of larger passenger capacity. In time
our runabouts and roadsters may gain in
popular favor, but for the present the de-

KNIGHT MOTOR At SHOW
Its Adaptation to StearnS Cars a
Mechanical Marvel.
BY Louis Petre (StearnS)

The show at Madison Square Garden this
year is emphasizing the popularity Of the
Knight motor, and believe Il is only ft-
ting to call attention to the amount of re-
search and development work done by this
company in connection with the Stearns-
Knight motor. I find that the aevrage man
thinks that it takes couple OF months to
design a new model in reality, It takes
that many years TO do It, and do It prop
crly.
Some three years ago we began expert
menung with the sleeve valve motors used
abroad. Two years ago we built our own
cars embodylng the sleeve valve principle,
and from that time until last summer we
kept these cars on the road day In and day
out. Our sole object was TO prove the
knight motor. We realized that Americans
would accept nothing that had not been
proven absolutely successful, and far re-
moved from the experimental stage. Dur
ing the course Of the tests We conducted,
we sent our cars many tens OF thousands
Of miles.
The only new thing we learned about the
knight motor was its ability 20 improve
with use. We found that It was a great
deal like the old English rhyme:
woman. n dog and a walnut tree.
The more you beat them, the better they he.
In the course OF my connection with the
stearns organization az chief OF the expert
mental department, I have had occasion to
try out many designs OF motors and many,
many alleged improvements. | have never
handled anything as interesting from n
mechniCal standpOint az the sleeve valve
motor. Every movement IS I'm strict accord
