DIFFERENT TYPES Of MOTOR VALVE

a northumberland motor allows a
smaller compression area for the same
amount of gas and therefore delivers
more power. TO the pistons.
The valves can be made good deal
smaller than in any other type Of
motor and in addition. there are no
pockets in this type, inside the COM
preston chamber in which the dead gas
can collect and thus inteffere with a
proper mixture
The valve action in the valve-in-the-
head motor is much better because by
the method Of construction used. your
intake and exhaust valves can never
be open at the same time and this
fact results in much better scavenging
inside the cylinder.
The fact that a very large per cent
Of the speedy racing cars entered in
the Indianapolis classic use the valve
in-the-head type Of motor is proof posi-
tive of the efficiency of it

both state and county. in state and
county work and under no circum-
stances should they be employed for
the benefit Of private individuals. not
even though the work be under state
control This is only another form OF
the contract system which the com
mittee has found unjustifiable from
every standpoint.
The Massachusetts, statute contains
the excellent provision. however, that
the work shall be under the supervis-
ion Of the state Highway authorities,
but the prisoners shall remain under
control OF the prison officials This
makes possible the proper Orgsniza-
ton Of the work and promises success
in the undertaking.
The development OF the road work
should afford such opportunity to the
prisoners to labor to good effect that
the national committee looks for an
amendment to the statute at the next
session and the abolition in Massachu-
sets OF every form Of contract convict
labor.

Two Racing Men Advance
Arguments in Favor of
Their Favorite Valve.

Racing drivers differ as to the sort
Of valves that are best for a car.
Bert Dingley a coast driver. is strong
for the Knight sleeve valve. Joe Nick
rent is strong for the valve-in-head
type Of valve.
Here is what each has to say about
his favorite valve;
BY Bert DingIey.
The biggest advantage Of the sliding
sleeve valve as is found in the Stearns-
knight motor, is the quietness and eff
cheney This valve comes as near steam
power as is possible in an internal
combustion motor.
The new light four-cylinder Stearns-
knight engine with its very few parts
and perfect balancing features, is able
TO hold its own with ease against the
best six and eight-cylinder motors
with pOppet valves. In the valve sleeve
operation alone there are only one
quarter Of the number Of parts found
in the mechanism Of the poppet valve
motor.
Ten manufacturers only in each cOun-
try are allowed to manufacture and
install in their automobiles. knight
type, sliding sleeve valve motors. and
this fact shown the eNclusiveness of the
Stearns- Knight motor.
The performance of the r r p. cars
in the Indianapolis classic viii be
watched with interest as these will be
the first knight-mOtored speeders TO
be entered in the big race, although
the motors have made a good record
abroad
BY Joe NicErent.
The advantages Of the valve in the
head motor are so many and so obvi-
Gus that it is hardly necessary to go
into detail. The marvellous power de-
veloped- by the little Buick valve-in-
the-head motor is proof Of the eff
cheney Of this type.

the second rehearsal. And, believe
me, they sang as if they enjoyed it
and made great progress, for they
have some singers in this bunch, if
anybody should ask you.
The first part will be a revelation,
introducing IL end men, a minstrel
street parade, the funniest songs,
the sweetest ballads (inc1 1ding the
greatest anti-war song ever writ

Ianche of new, clean and laughable

prime purpose of this performance is
to make everybody laugh and we
know we've got the goods to do it.
The second part of the show will
be local pageant in nine episodes,

1913 CASES IN FIVE VISITS
DIR. r.. w. LOvett Completes Trips to
Vermont for Treatments.

DIR. Robert w. Lovett of Boston,
who is working in conjunction with
the doctors of the state board of
health in the effort to make a scien-
tific investigation into poiomyelitis
in Vermont, made the last of his first
series of visits to this state Satur-
day. when he came to Rutland, where
Saturday he saw 33 persons who had
been crippled from infantile paraly-
sis and Sunday saw five more. This
makes a total of 1913 cases which DR..
Lovett has seen and examined on his
trips to Vermont in his five visits
since his first trip to Burlington on
Jan. 2.
On this first series of visits, DR..
Lovett has examined all of the per-
sons who were crippled as a result
of poliomyelitis, and who came to
him and has prescribed treatment
for them. This treatment for the
most part consists of physical exer-
cises with braces in some instances
where needed. DR.. Lovett on his
five visits to Vermont visited Bur
lington, Barton, Montpelier, st. AL
bans and Rutland. Patients came
to these centers from the surround
ing country and in this way a large
proportion of the cases in the state
were given a chance to have an ex-
animation. 1t is now expected that
he will return to visit these places
during the month of July in order
to see if his prescribed treatment has
been carried out and the results it
has brought. Many reports have
been received of good results already
obtained from large number of the
cases examined.
The cases which DR.. Lovett has
examined date back from those a
year or two old to one in which
paralysis resulted IA years ago. This
case was that of a woman 10 years
of age, who had the disease which
resulted in paralysis when she was
four years of age. Records of all
the cases with which DR.. Lovett has
had to deal have been kept from
the first and they will be carefully
preserved as they will contain val
liable data from which to study the
disease, showing the symptoms OF
paralysis, kinds of paralysis and the
groups of muscles affected by the
disease.

assisted by Mrs. Jane Wright had
charge of the tables. There were
about 125 people in attendance.
Perhaps the most successful en-

took place Friday evening at the

139 guests. After the repast, all
retired to the hall downstairs where
a pleasant evenings program was
enjoyed.

Sunday Afternoon Reception

The following is taken from the
social notes of the Boston Sunday
Globe:
The Sunday afternoon receptions
held by Ashton Rollins Willard at
his home on Commonwealth avenue
partake of the nature of a salon in
that they unite the choicest elements
in the world of letters, art and So
ciety. The order of Chevalier of the
Order of the Crown of Italy, was
conferred on Mr.. Willard several
years ago in recognition of his
works on modern Italian art, 1.-The
Land of the Latins,'' 1.-THE Life and
Work of the Painter, Domenico Mo
relli," etc.
