reboring increases the inside bora OF
the cylinder TO any great extent, Ii
will be necessary to have q new pis'

The auxiliary air valve must not be
open when starting the motor. A COM
open auxiliary air valve makes the
motor almost impossible to start.

Steady increases In the cost of
gasoline in all parts OF the country
may be viewed with disrsay by auto
mobile owners and the automobile in
iustry In general, but owners OF White
cars are affected SO slightly that they
have little or no interest In the cur
rent crusade to keep down the cost
nor IN the search for q suitable sub
stitute.
THE Indifference of White ownars
Ia due 10 the high economy OF frei
consumption which il one Of the vir-
tues OF the White long stroke motor.
Service statistics compiled by this
company show that the gasoline con-
sumption per mile is 50 slow In com
parison with cars of equal power and
size that owners are practically In a
class by themselves

lon and no assurance that It will re
main al that level. the subject Of fuel
economy IS certain 10 re stronger
factor In TIE sale Of motor cars than
1t has been heretofore. and 1t is In
terestinz TO note that the White COM
pany achieves sufficient economy to
render owners unmindfui OF the gaso-
dae market
"N hat Is said of the passenger ear
~ equally true Of the motor TRUCK,
The owner OF White motor truck,
smbnGU}ul the same principles OF mo-
Tor design. enjoys the same relative
economy IS the owner OF the White
"a sscpger car. Appreciation, how
ever. IL different. inasmuch as business
men are more alert to effect econo-
mics than private motorists. 1t ~
on tnis account that the distinct ad-
vantage of economy possessed by the
White has been recognized to an ex-
tent where entire transportation sys-
TENS have been standardized into
White fleets.
"The saving Of gasoline In year
often amounts 10 enough TO buy new
set OF tires.
THE reasons why one type OF mo
tor lis more economical than another
are not generally understood. The
White motor has a number OF features
contributing 70 It's low fuel consump-
ton. chief among which are It's long
stroke ard the proper relation between
bore and stroke. This motor secures
iron, the fuel every bit OF power II Is
capable of producing The cylinder
chambers are Of the proper length 10
allow FOR full expansion Of the expacd-
ing gas. In short stroke motor or
81 motor In which the diameter Of the
bore aud the length OF the stroke are
approximately the same, the gas ex-
plodes ana only the initial force Of the
explosion Is utilized. Instead Of the
full power released by tho explosion
being transmitted to the crankshaft,
a large portion OF II must be wasted
through the exhaust passage simply
because the stroke Ia not long enough.
