HEAD VALVES
We RSUS THE
OVERHEAD VALVES

There are three underlying princi-
Pies TO be considered in discussing
this subject, namely
Whether or not the overhead
valve gives more power.
Whether or not the valve In
question gives better scayensing 20
The motor
Whether or not the overhead
valve is more efficient In mechanical
construction.
The main claim made for the over
head valve Is that it gives more power
per cubic inch displacement, to the
motor. The powerain m automobile
motor. or any internal combustion
engine is directly proportional 10 the
force OF the explosion within the
combustion chamber. or the force
acting on the reciprocatng part OF
the motor, viz, the piston. II we
look back TO the laws of physics we
find one OF the fundamental theories,
paseals law, saying that, THE force
of any Internal combustion is equal
ln ali directions" Therefore we may
say thar the force of the explosion
IL not increased by simply taking the
cnmhustible gases into the chamber
through an overhead valve. Also
claims OF higher efficiency have been
made on account of the charge being
all contained directly above the
piston, but as the piston Is driven not
by a direct blow but rather by the
pressure generated by the sudden eN
pansion OF the charge under heat,
ana as this pressure Is equal in all
directions, II VIII easily be seen that
this claim has no foundation in fact.
The question of scavenging or get
ting rid OF the exhaust gases In a
motor has always been one of great
Importance to automobile nanufac-
hrcrs, from the fact that Il is of
vital Importance TO the owner from
standpoint Of fuel consumption. II
was true that IN the early days OF
automobile design, better scavenging
could be obtained by the use Of over
head valves hut today, since the
graduated exhaust manifold has been
evolved, the designer Is permitted TO
set his cam shaft so that the exhaust
valves are completely closed before
the intake valve opens so that there

NEVER SAY DIE.
%-%AA%AAAAA ~
By Jerome D. TraYers, in the
American Magazine.

Among the many interesting stories
Jerome d. Travers tells is the following
account OF how, in one Of the champion
contests he played in, Walter j. Travis
who seemed to be out OF the running.
rose to the occasion and Won an un-
expected victory:
'T was playing one Of my first big
matches with Walter J. Travis at Gar
den City. He was a veteran then and
kid. We finished the first SO holes all
square. We halved the 18th. and at the
38th pitched on the green within 10
feet of the cup, while Travis overplayed
into the bunker beyond. l considered
the match over then and there. 1t had
been a grinding one all the way and l
could already taste the sweets OF vic
tory. Then 1 got my first shock: Travis
played from the bunker within a foot

missed and over-ran, and then missed
my three losing hole and match. That
taught me a lesSon-not to consider
any hole won or lost until the ball was
in the cup.
Possibly the hardest upset that ever
developed came at Apawamis in 1911,
when Harold Hilton, OF England. and
Fred Herreshoff. of Garden City, fought
out the championship round. They were
all even at the end of SO holes. The 37th
hole. which naturally Is also number
one. Is located upon a high green, Dor
dered at the right by a towering rock,
almost cliff. Both drives were driven
down the middle, but Herreshoff had
the best shot, within easy pitching of
the green. Hilton. therefore had to play
first. His shot, badly sliced, travelled
off to the right, and the match looked
to be over with America on top. For 1t
seemed as IL nothing could keep that
ball from bounding off from the cliff
into almost unnla
Herreshoff, after the grinding journey,
must have thought the same. and so
must have felt that at last his work
was done. But by some strange freak
the ball struck a projection from the
side OF the rock and caromed off upon
the green for a sure four in place Of an
almost sure six. The upset to HERE
shoff was quite natural and his ap-
proach was bad. costing him the hole

The losses BY Fire.

From the Washington Times.
With economists wondering how the
world Is ever going to make up the
wealth destroyed by war without long
period OF economy that will seriously in
terfere with progress, statistics of losses
by fire in the United States suggest one
saving that this country can well afford
to contribute to the fund. The total fire
loss last year was $685., 591, $50, about $11,-
10000 more than in 1913. The 1914 loss
was higher than any excepting the three
conhgration years, 1908, when Chelsea,
Mass, burned 1906, the year of the San
Francisco conhagration, and 1904, when
the business section of Baltimore burned.
A discouraging feature of such a re-
port Is that It comes at a time when
there has been real effort made to re-
duce fire risks. The loss increases year
by year. II business depression continues,
the current year may be expected to
make a lot worse showing. Idle plants
burn oftener than plants that are run
ming.
Some day we shall corue to full real
iZation of the enormous unnecessary loss
entailed by fire and shall begin the right
sort Of preventive campaign to lower it,
One place to begin is In the schools. 1t
Is probably within the truth to say that
countrys bill for education could be
made by the saving that could be made
by bringing UP the oncoming generation
with proper appreciation Of the wealth
wasted by IRE that even reasonable
precaution would prevent

Moro Beef.

We hardly realize, perhaps, amid the
revolution in so many things, which re-
cent years have witnessed, that we
have seen the change in the domestic
beef supply from branded to farm
raised cattle. Men now living have
seen the beginning, rise and almost en-
tire extinction of the range cattle in
dustry. The increased settlement OF
the country is largely responsible, al
though the railroads have been the
chief factor in breaking up the ranges.
The time OF vast plains where long
horns" ran wild. and were then round
ed up and driven to market with many
cattle perishing on the trails and per-
ishtng before this from the hardship
Of life on ranges. has practically passed.
Now we have "beefsteak specials" run
by the railroads, and they, with the CO.
operation of agricultural colleges ami
state boards, further the increase OF
to be made. says the Technical World.
by every stock grower Of good beef cat
tie.
The revolution has been not merely
in this change in the source of supply,
but in the increase Of the supply, head
for head. The range cattle, with their
long horns and lean bodies. furnished
a scant supply to the head. The farm
grown cattle, without horns, and
weighing 500 pounds for yearling and
1000 pounds for a 3-year-old. furnish
three times as much meat as the scrub
creature offthe plains, and better meat
more good meat in one Of these 1000
pound steers. the authority says, than
in q car load OF range cattle. And the
call for 1t increases. Since the begin
ming OF this year there is an accumu-
lated deficiency OF millions of pounds
OF beef, while prices have ruled abb
normally high. So the beef future Of
the country lies In the encouragement
of farm raised cattle with silo feed and
