KID Adds a "Six"; Alters Design.

After more than year spent in eX-
perimenting, the KID Motor Co., of
Boston, Mass, whose original prod
uct, Miss Margaret Knights four-cyl-
inder crescent valve motor, was
brought out at the Boston show last
year. has developed six" which has
very little in common with its pred
ecessor. AS q matter Of fact, the de-
sign as a whole differs radically from
the original; it is similar to it only
in that it employs the sliding crescent
shaped valves made familiar by the
-four" though even the location of the
valves has been altered. The bore and
stroke remain the same, however,
four inches and six inches, respec-
lively.
The most conspicuous alteration in
the design lies in the elimination of
the Scotch yoke construction between
the piston and the crankshaft and the
casting out Of the method Of leading
the exhaust gases into the crankcase
for the ostensible purpose Of assisting
the scavenging stroke of the pistons
Neither is a feature Of the new de-
sign, which, instead, is quite similar
to orthodox poppet valve construction
except as regards the valves, of
course. Which is to say, the vertical
motion of the pistons is converted in
to rotary motion only through the
intermediary Of the usual connecting
rods. The use of piston rods, it is
explained, limited the speed obtained
to certain extent and hence they
have been discarded.
In shape, and in method of actua-
tion, the crescent valves remain the
same, movement being impaired by
separate miniature crankshafts fol-
each set, intake and exhaust, respec.
lively; they are mounted at opposite
sides of the cylinders. Instead of be-
ing fitted into pockets opening direct
ly into the combustion chamber how
ever, thus necessitating that the pis
tons slide over them, they are outside
the cylinders proper and the pistoni
do not come in contact with them
Full advantage Of their crescent shap,
is taken to provide unusually largo
ports, which combining with thel
quick opening and closing, is consid
cred to be highly advantageous Th,
new "six" Is to be uncovered for th
first time at the Boston show.

The Most Economical Car.

The Ford places more per cent Of
tire surface upon the ground per
pound than any other automobile
made.
And it has a greater per cent Of
power per pound than any other.
These tremendous advantages make it
the most inexpensive car to operate.
1t is surely and swiftly making the
horse and buggy an expensive eXt"av-
agance. twenty-five miles per gallon
of gasoline is not an exceptional av-
erage, and no one has yet lived long
enough to measure the life of the car,
In both first and after-cost the
Ford is proportionately inexpensive.
While Ford repairs are seldom
needed, big advantage TO Ford own
ers is the always "near-at at-hand-ness'
of Ford repairs. There is scarcely a
village or hamlet in the country
where a Ford dealer is not to be found
And every Ford dealer carries a COM
plete equipment of Ford repairs for
which he charges a fixed catalogue
price, based upon the cost of the part
in the completed car. A price list of
these parts is furnished to every own
er Of Ford car.
There are no vexing delays for re-
pairs-nor still more vexing over
charges for parts-for him who owns
q Ford.
The Ford is the car of the day-no
doubt of it. 1t is the one universal
car" It's simplicity and surety Of OPP
GRAFTON make it a real joy to him or
her who loves "the open road" Its
lightness frees from annoying tire
and other heavy-car troubles, Its
economy makes for 1t a worldwide
appeal. Its price makes 1t "the peo-
pies car"
Thousands upon thousands Of Ford
cars are being sold today to people
who have owned-or do still own
heavier and more expensive cars.
They are learning that false pride
is an expensive commodity and that
the Ford will git them there" as
surely, as comfortably at a fraction
OF the cost.

ter evenings, made up a family JOY
that has never been surpassed. The
hickory nuts, especially the good old
shellbarks, figured prominently in
those nutty days, and the chestnuts,
too, including the hazel nuts and
beech nuts: but they are all growing
scarcer, and have sadly strayed away
from the human heart.
The pecan is becoming the great
American nut. There are thousands
of trees cultivated in the south, and
the nut has become commercially i'm

$500 to $500 worth of nuts per acre.

KEEP THEIR HEADS STEADY
Australian Statesman Asserts Women
Prevent Conditions of Political
Turbulence.

The prime minister of Australia,
where the women have suffrage on
equal terms with men, was interview
ed while on a visit to London on the
results of woman suffrage in his coun-
try. He is quoted as saying:
"Women's suffrage steadies political
feeling. In democratic countries tur-
bulence is always danger Well, in
a time Of political excitement men
will let themselves loose. Women
won't. They don't want Mysteries.
They don't want earthquakes. They
are the domestic economists, and they
have to calculate the needs OF their
households pretty closely every week.
This is why economic questions are
more carefully studied now and why
you get steadier, more sober, more
wholesome opinion on all questions
connected with the home"
Possibly no stronger conclusion can
be deduced from the eleven years ex-
perience of woman suffrage in Aus
tralia than the fact that its national
parliament, by unanimous vote. adopt
ed a resolution declaring its entire
success and calling upon the parlia-
ment of Great Britain to enfranchise-
women.-New York Evening Post

Removal Of Gamboa Dixie Means
End of Work Is Near.
WATERS OF OCEANS MEET
First steps Are Taken Toward De-
structlon Of Big Embankment
Which Holds Gstun Lake Out
Of Culebra Cut.

Colon, Panama, Oct. 1.-The climax
OF nine years of untiring work on the
part Of the men who have been build
ing the Panama canal came today
when the waters OF Gatun lake were
permitted to run for the first time
into the Culebra cut. This simple
operation marked the virtual compile
ton of the great isthmian waterway.
The water was permitted TO flow
into the cut today through four &c
inch pipes extending through the
Gamboa dixie, which has held the
waters of the lake back from the cut.
This was done in order that there
may be enough water in the cut to
prevent any damage when the dixie is
finally removed.
The final destruction of the big dixie
is scheduled for October 10. when
charges of dynamite placed in holes
already drilled in the dixie will be ex-
ploded The explosion of these
charges will not completely destroy
the dixie, but will weaken 1t and loos-
en- the dirt so that the force of the
waters from Gatuan lake will carry it
away. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dixie, leaving an open
2assageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be off,
cially declared completed for some
time, and the formal opening of the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de.
struction of the Gamboa dixie as mark
ing the real completion of the canal.

been accomplished, the excavation
