The National Civic Federation, the

has issued a pamphlet on the mega
tive side OF municipal ownership. the
Affirmative side having been pub
lished some time ago.
The contents consists OF a number
OF addresses delivered at the ar.
teenth annual meeting.
There In q startling statement
made by Jonathan Browne. jr.. In
what Shall the Government Own
and Operator" He says: THE fun
damental objection to government
ownership would be that 1t would be
absolutely destructive to popular and
representative government" which
he explains by saying 1t would mean
the placing OF too much power In the
hands of the few and ut last possibly

tralized power In the present war.
Another idea conveyed. In an ar

deprives them Of self.respect and In.

SLEEVE VALVE
Engine on the WilIys-kni9ht Car
Handled by the Auto Sales Co.,
Is The Enoine

Is The Engine.
There are so many good points
about the new l6 model Killys-
Knight. represented by the Auto
Sales company. Fourteenth street.
that IL would require newspaper
page To tell OF these facts. but there
Is one especially good feature about
the new model that Is par-excellent.
and II would be well for all who are
thinking OF buying an auto to bear
{, in mind-that is the sleeve valve
motor. which is absolutely depen-
dable. The sleeve valve engine had
been tried out for seven years and IL
has proved to be the engine OF the
motor world.
The following article tells In detail
why the sleeve valve engine Is the
best on the market today:
Paul Daimler. mechanical director
o. The Mercedes Company. Ger
many's leading automobile concern.
and son of Gottlieb Daimler. inventor
OF the internal combustion engine. IL
n firm believer in the sleeve valve
engine. In communication 10 the
Ailegemeine Automobile Zeitung, of
Vienna. he once stated:
IF anyone came TO me from the
.
advice. declaring that there was no
repair shop within miles of his resi-
dence. would advise him to take a
sleeve valve engine"
The improvement with use is ex-
, planned in a measure by the fact that
: carbon deposit has a beneficial in.
stead of an III effect upon the slevee
valve type. The small amount of car.
bon that forms in the motor serves 10
1 give the surfaces a smooth glass like
| finish. Thus the longer the moor is
used. the quieter and smoother II be.
comes. Carbon deposit has just the
! opposite effect on the poppet valve
engine which generally needs decar-
bombing after two or three thousand
miles.
In the wiilys-Knight sleeve valve
motor there are no noisy poppet
valves or cams. no uncertain valve
springs or valves to grind. in fact.
the simplicity Of it's construction has
practically eliminated the wear that
sooner or later gets the best OF the
poppet valve engine.
