THE MoLINE-KNIGHT.

Knight motors in general are not ed for clean exterior appearance, due to the fact, chiefly that the valves and valve operating mechanism are within the cylinder.
 In the Moline-Knight as designed by the Mcline Automobile Company. this cleanliness of exterior is carried further than ordinarily due to the complete inclosure of the manifo1ds and the submergence Of the spark plugs.
 The Moline Knight presents a num- Der of unusual features of design The chief of these iA that the block Rcastin g-the only block cast Knight in America--has the intake and ex- haust manifold integral with the cyl finder block and both nanifolds. as well as the entire length of the cy1in- der barrel, are completely surround ed with an exceptionally capacious water jacket.
 The cooling system on the Moline Knight presents numerous Individual features of design and especial effort has been made by the Moline com pany to assure adequate cooling.
 Very few motorists ever dream of cleaning the brake bands, yet they wonder why the car does not respond to pedal pressure. A little kerosene on the brake bands will do wonders. and if this is applied once every two weeks the brakes will require little mechanical attention.

N NEW CARRIAGE.

An enclosed carriage of an entire ly new design has been added to the Packard line, making total ofktwen- sty-one body styles for either the s.s2-3S' or 9s5ss 4-4S',s six cylinder chas- sis. The new style is known as Sa : Ion broug1am. three window type, and carries four passengers. While the new type of body follows the general outline of the Packard six passenger cars, with sloping roof. narrow body and square corners, the smartness of design is accentuated by an extremely low roof and three spa cious windows. The effect is strik- ingly different from that of the more conventional types. Eliminating one window has had the effect of increas- ing the width of the doors. Free en- trance to the front seats is afforded from either side. The front seats are of the individual type. with a pas sageway between. The seats are built exceptionally low, promoting a most Comfortable driving position. The Packard Salon brougham is describ- ed as particularly smart equipage for the owner-driver.

usE oE ALUMINUM.

ssIt is of interest to note the inn portance of aluminium as a construc- ton material in the automobile,'' . said George H. Peck of The Peck & Lines Co.,, distributors for the Haynes, Americas first car, in this territory.
 Pure aluminium is too soft and lacking in tensile strength to be used in the motor car, but when copper is added it has the double virtue of combining great strength with very lightweight.
 ..As early as 1896 E1wood Haynes, pioneer auto builder, found it neces- sary to eliminate grey or cast-iron in making crank cases owing to it's extreme weight and the none too du- rabIe nature of it's construction. Steel was even heavier and brass out of the question. After considerable waste of time and expensive experiment he found an aluminium alloy which contains 93 per cent. aluminium and T per cent copper It was made by melting the aluminium and after wards adding. while sti11 in the mott en state. the proper amount of cop per.

GOOD ARGUMENT.


 Here is one of the best arguments ever seen for the purchase of an au- tomobiIe. It. appeared in weekly motor magazine published in Wash ington. It follows: The day is here when the smallest trad desman should own an automobile, and can own one economically. The auto mobile will do more for small plumber than for a man of leisure. It will do more for a, butcher small contractor or other little busine ess man than for the richest citizen. Be cause the little man is more in need of the machine that means more work accomplished A motor car saves time and money during the week. It gives ehappiness to the entire family; on Sunday. It is healthfu1, useful pleasure that discourages : pleasures that are harmful.

trade to-day is of practically the same composition. and so successful has it been that it is now in univer- sal use among builders of better mo- tor cars.
 '.It is estimated that during the year 1914 the American automobile manufacturers will use over 60,OO0 tons of aluminium. On every car there are about 75 parts made of all Joys of this metal Among the most important of these are: the crank case, oil-pan, steering wheel spider, vent tubes and transmission case.
 The tensile strength of the alum mum used in the Haynes car is about 20. 900 pounds while the tensile strength of cast iron, although three times as heavy. seldom goes above IS, 900 pounds.''

HIGH SPEED ENGINES FOR
 AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES

s'MetaI'', says J. w. Bate, general
 factory manager and chief engineer
 of the Mitche1I-Lewis Motor C., sis
 just like person, only so many
 shakes in it.'' This epigrammatic
 way of emphasizing an axiom of en-
 gineering is used by MT. Bate in con
 tributing an interesting phase to the
 controversy over high and low speed
 engines in automobiles, casting the
 weight of his expert, testimony in fla
 yor of the motors that deliver their
 power at slow engine speeds. The
 long and continued service given by
 the high priced cars of America, all
 equipped with engines of such size
 that they could run slowly and pow
 erfully, the gear ratio being propor-
 tioned about to to 3.25,s to l on a
 36-inch wheel, affords ample proof sof the correctness of this practice.
 '.To appreciate the condition of
 these old engines one needs only to take the wheel of an old car. Run |Sning practically as well as when the Lear was put out-of course lacking Erefnements in mechanical detail that exist in cars of more modern vintage the majority of these old machines intuitively may be, diagnosed as be- ing good for many more years of Ser bvice,' says Mir Bate.
 l Steam engine designers years ago Ewere led into false trails by this high ESPcSQ 10Sc1.s lNOlWllIlStc1A la6s Ic1Ct | that the impulses derived from steam were far more elastic than those of the internal combustion engine, these ,high-speed steam engines soon rack ed themselves to pieces-in the ma sjority of cases all those imposing To- 5connotives have gone their way into the Happy Hunting Ground of the Eshops-the junk pile. The slower moving, low-speed locomotives-well, they are still plugging along, doing faithful and efficient service in the
 general scheme of economical trans |3portation. Vibration not only kills power, but shortens the life of metals and the long articles in the steam journals favoring high-speed engines
 appear to have been forgotten in view of the costly results in railway opera l.tion.

OIL MAY BE STALE.

qMan'ss food must be clean and wholesome and so with. the food of the cylinders. If oil is permitted to remain in the cranKcase too long it loses it's nourishing qualities just as food does if cooked and allowed to stand for a few days.

TRINITY'S THORN DUE
TOBLOOMTO. MORROW
Grown From Cutting Of Glas-
tOnbury Trce-St. JOscph's
Living Staff.
REVERED AS BEING HOLY
Once Injured Puritan, Who
Tried to Chop 1t Down,
So Story Goes.
REVERED AS BEING HOLY

Some Of the men in the financial dis
trict will forget the call OF the ticker
long enough tomorrow to stroll through
old Trinity churchyard and see IL the
Glastonbury thorn. planted there last
year, has blossomsd.
The thorn bush came from the ancien,
Benedict!re Abbey in somerse,sh!ro,
England. and now stands near the rear
Of Trinity churchyard near tho church.
Yesterday It had what appeared to be
tiny buds, although tho caretakers of
Trinity doubted IL the thorn would bloom
so soon after Its removal from Eng
land.
''From time immemorial the famous
Glastonbury thorn, and also the trees
which have grown up elsewhere from its
graftings or cuttings. have always bios
somed on the 7th OF January. which Is
Christmas Day according to the olden
calendar" explained Frederick Cunllffe-
owen author and editor, who has taken
a special interest In the tree.
1T will be interesting to see. therefore.
whether the sprig OF Glastonbury thorn
which was carefully planted last autumn
In the churchyard Of old Trinity, under
the personal direction OF Its rector, the
Rev. W. T. Manning will blossom there
o-morrOw-within sight OF Wall street.
THE Glastonbury thorn, according to
tradition. owes Its origin to the white
thorn stan OF st. Joseph of Armat thea.
who. II may be remembered. gave his
own tomb in the Holy Land as a tenn
porary resting place for the remains OF
Christ.
For centuries It has been revered as
the holy thorn. the present tree being
Of course grown from the cuttings OF for
mer trees grown from the STAN of st.
Joseph.
There 10 a most circumstantiai story
In existence Of a Puritan who afterward
emigrated TO Massa chusetts having at
tempted to cut down the holy thorn of
Glastonbury by way OF showing his CON
tempt for what he was pleased to describe
as childish and idolatrous superstition.
The legend goes on to say that the
Puritan smote the tree once. But the
next blow glanced on and dslodged a
chip, which few UP and put out one Of
his eyes. the blade Of the axe finding
It's home in his leg. which was so badly
| injured that he was famed for life. After
this the holy thorn. or at any rate the
one attacked by the Puritan. seems to
have been left alone.
