FIRM BASIS FOR
TIE AUTO TRADE
Manufacturer Says the Public Is Coming
More and More to Investigating
Value Of Car.


That the motor car shows Of 1914 have
been far more successful and more vaIu-
able than those Of any previous year is
the opinion Of the general manager OF q
big automobile manufacturing company OF
saThe big ideas Of all the shows this year
has been to demonstrate the advantages Of
the different models and to convince the
public that they are built properly" he
said 1--WE pleasing lack OF that OLD
time fellowship and entertainment policy
that has helped many firms 10 secure agen-
cies. The manufacturers nave come 70
realize a great many Of them to their
own sorrow, that really good agencies can
not be secured by means OF good dinner
and a couple Of theater tickets Today the
man who contracts for any certain number
Of cars, realizes that if he Is going to place
them with the buyers Of his community ne
must choose the make very carefully. It
cannot be done today by any guessWork
He must be sure, must know absolutely thaI
the car he chooses will make good IN his
territory, and that the price is what his
neighbOr can afford to pay
But believe that the pest Ihlns the
shows Of this year have shown Is the IacI
that the motor car industry has come down
to q practical basis, where a car must stand
on its own merits, and not on what the
manufacturer may say about It Inc eN-
hibitors were there for business, and the
visitors were also there for business You
would see them studying the points OF the
cars carefully. Weighing the advantages
over in their minds and deciding whether or
not they would make good the claims the
agents have made. This is certainly quite
the center Of interest at the snow would be
around some car, simply because that car
hammered to be mounted on q mirror, or
because it was painted in gold and white"

RELATING TO THE
TAX ON MOTORS

Following resOsutOn has been
adopted by the American Automobile
association:
''Wheareas, The taxation Of automO-
biIes in the several states IS lncreas-
ing without due regard to the tunda-
mental rights Of owners; and
Whereas, The economy and value OF
a self propelled vehicle depends upon
the existence of travelable roads;
therefore, be it
Resolved That this association
place itself squarely on record as be-
ing opposed to the registration tax
on automobiles unless same shall be
in lieu of all other taxes and the money
thus raised expended in the mainte-
nance of the most used highways Of
the state. Furthermore, be II
Resolved, That wher the cOnStitu-
ton of the commonwealth does not
admit Of the registration tax being in
lieu Of the personal property tax, there
shall be annually appropriated from
funds of the state sum for roads
maintenance equal to that accruing
to the state treasury by reason Of the
taxation of automobiles"

far as it is possible to do so, both the big
roads and the little roads which connect

back roads produce counts as a substantial
percentage of the total food supply OF the

preservation on the part Of the urban

farm products possible reaches the con

HOW THE KNIGHT
VALVE OPERATES
John WHY'S Claims That It Is Far Superior
in Its Operations to the POppet
Valve

VI
Valve
'The features Of the knight motor which
constitute the greatest Improvement over
poppet valve types Of Internal combustion
engines are silent, tremorless sliding sleeves -
said John N. WHY'S. maker Of the WHY'S
Knight automobile. f9The sleeve type Of mo-
tor consists merely Of two castiron cylinders
or sleeves, machined and polished to a mir
ror like surface, which work away day in
and day out, without the slightest care OF
attention They make noise, for they
strike nothing. They merely slide up and
down over perfectly fabricated surfaces, in
silence.
THE quietness with which Knight sleeves
operate can best be illustrated by the fol-
lowing example. II you take in your hands
two pieces Of metal, with absolutely smooth
surfaces, and place a few drops Of oil be-
tween them, you can slide them back and
forth, upon the other, without the
slightest sign of noise OF vibration This is
the simple, positive principle Of which the
Knight engine works
''The two cOncentric cylinders or sleeves.
encircle the piston and from the outer walls
Of the combustion chamber. They are made
from the best grade Of grey iron and care
fully machined. The positive system Of lu-
IRRIGATION keeps a volume of oil on the sur
faces Of the sleeves where the sliding mo-
ton is accomplished Thus. we have two
perfectly smooth pieces of metal. well oiled,
with no space between for rafting or pound
ing. The result is perfectly quiet opera
ton and same as is obtained in the NOV
ing of the two smooth pieces Of metal in
the hands"
