like that afford to a starving civil
population. like the population of
Serbia to-day?
NO; it is only your compatriots
who can help us in this hour of our
need. And they are doing 1t, God
bless themi But there is need of so
much-so much!" The old mans head
sank on his breast. His eyes closed
wearily. 1t was as if his soul had
left the bent, worn, pain -racked body
and flown over the far mountains to
his own people.

Suddenly the King gave little,
hoarse, inarticulate cry. His hand
went up to his throat. His head fell
back. His body collapsed in a limp
heap. Doctor Simonovitch rushed up
with a bottle in his hand. Colonel
Todorovitch lifted the fainting mon
arch in his arms like a child fallen
asleep.
Slowly consciousness returned.
King Peter drew long breath and
looked about him, dazed. With his
two arms he gently pushed away the
doctor and the soldier. Turning to the
correspondent, shyly, as one ashamed
of his weakness. he gasped:

Colonel Todorovitch, he made his way

SLEEVE
CLAIMS ECONOMY
Valve Action, Perfect Compress
sion, Spark Centers on Piston,
Are Principal Features

In the opinion of many keen OBJ
servers, the present price of gasoline
is serving to clarity the situation in
regard to the vast difference between
economical and wasteful automobile
engines. During the past two months,
as the price of gasoline has steadily
climbed upward. attention has been
focused directly upon a few ears noted
Tor their economical use of fuel.
Among these the Knight sleeve valve
motor has long held leading position
and il has been more especially in
the public eye during the last year by
virtue of its use in the Willys-Knight.
car of moderate price.
while the economy of the sleeve
valve motor has long been we'll
known to manufacturers and users of
cars equipped with this type of motor,
says John n. WHY'S. president of the
Willys-Overland Company, little at
tentfon has heretofore been paid to
It's economical operation, principally
because heretofore il has been sold
only at high price and the owners
were not as vitality interested in the
cost or gasoline as the buyers of more
moderately-p priced cars. We realized
from the beginning" continued Mr..
WHY'S, that while the sleeve valve
motor was principally known for its
ablllty TO improve with use, its power,
reliability and freedom from repairs,
SOoiiCl VI loiltI IT'S pronounced ecu
nomy would take first rank with its
other sterling qualities. Now that the
motor has been placed within the
reach OF the average buyer, we find
from what our owners tell us that our
Judgment has been more than vim
dicated and our dealers all over the
country are receiving the most flat !
tering reports of gasoline consump-
ton.
"Of late, there has been consider
able confusion in the minds of motor |
lists in connection with power and
gasoline consumption, and this we find
TO be the case because the vast ma
jority of motors developing high
words. gas eaters With the Knight
sleeve valve motor exactly the opposite
holds true, for we secure high power,
but do so without using an excessive
amount of gasoline. This is accom-
plished because the valve action is
positive. smooth and certain, the
valves always opening and closing
properly. the same as the valves on
steam engine; second. because the
compression never leaks and as a
consequence all gas taken into the
cylinder is used and third. because the
explosion chamber is practically
round in shape and has the spark plug
located directly over the center OF the
piston. delivering the full force of the
blow straight downwards. The COM
bination of these three essential fea-
lures is directly responsible for the
wonderful results which this motor
gives, and as q result VIC md that
rare combination of motor which
at one and the same time is econom-
ical. powerful and speedy"

Local Dealer Says Cars
Should Be Bought Now

Selling cars" explains Charles En-
sminger, local distributor for the bort,
''is no problem this year. Getting cars
from the manufacturer is another mat
ter. We were fortunate in placing our
specifications for a large number of
Dorts early in the season, and we shall
have cars to deliver this Spring, but
it looks as if our allotment would
have TO be very considerably increas-
ed to go all the way around.
This warning is not for the man
who will be satisfied with any old make
of car, or even a good used car, for
there will be plenty of these for sale.
But for the man who will be satisfied
with nothing less than a new car of
the latest and best design and i'm
provements, the situation calls for inn
mediate action.
"If, in the terms of the popular song.
You Want What You Want When
You Want It. there's just one way
making sure that you will have your
new car when you want it-and that
way is to buy your car now.
Buy your car now means that it
will be delivered in time for YOU to
enjoy the wonderful Spring weather.
Buy it now, is just plain, good horse
sense. 1t is motor sense, too. 1t is a
slogan that is Just as important this
year, as the do your shopping early
of the holiday period.
"A weeks delay in placing your or
der may mean an extra months wait
ing when it comes to getting delivery
on your new car. Which will you do,
stand at the curbstone this summer
and watch them go by, while you Won
der whether you will be driving your
car before Labor day or place your
order now. and have a fine brand new
machine of the kind you really wanted
delivered to you in time TO enjoy the
best motoring months of the year.
It's up to YOU 1t is doubtful if a
similar situation will ever exist in the
automobile industry. Materials are
not only scarce, but they have jumped
sky high in price, another reason for
early placing of orders, manufacturer
after manufacturer has raised his
price. The raises are not small ones;
they average fifty to two hundred dol
lars. Discouringing, is hardly the
word that you can apply to your feel
ings, when you discover that the car
you decided to buy a few weeks ago,
but put off doing it, has jumped fifty
dollars or more in price, and your
dealer can't give you the I'D price on
it, Finally the shortage of freight
cars is still another serious matter that
confronts both manufacturer and
dealer. Even now, fiat cars are be-
ing pressed into service because of
the lack of box cars in which to ship.
What the situation will be in a month
or two from now, nobody knows.
Everything points to the advisability of
buying your car early and I only wish
we had made our order to the Drot
factory just about twice as large as
we did"

which shall replenish the church
treasury in a greater or less de-
gree and incidentally to rid the
town of a fruitful source of
civic untidiness.

the ladies have already been as.

their appeals for assistance.
