What valve timing should one use on
a two cylinder opposed motor with a
bore Of four and one-fourth and a
stroke Of four and one-half inches?
Since the valve timing which will
give ideal results for any given motor
Is n variable quantity and depends
largely upon such details as manifold
design, the only thing which can be
done is to give you en- approximate
timing. from which you can vary in
one direction or the other until you at
tain the best results.
If the cams are already made and in
the motor you can only place them so
that the valve openings will correspond
with those given and allow the closing
to take care Of itself. A fairly average
timing which should give good results
Is as follows: Intake valve opens 10
degrees after upper dead center and
closes 35 degrees past lower dead cen
ter. The exhaust valve opens 40 de-
grees before lower center and closes 5
degrees past upper dead center.

or more, half do not charge of single penny for

the government on inflated values and inflated

and banker working together will be able to bring
the manufacturer into line.

Municipal Bookkeeping

Few cities in the United States approach the
time when the annual budget is made up with a
feeling of complacency. Usually they are haunt
ed by the fact that the expenses for the next
year can be covered only by cutting down appro-
priations or by increasing the tax rate. Neither
of these plans is satisfactory. Dayton is an ex-
ception to the rule. A survey of Ohio shows
that this city is the only one without deficit in
it's municipal treasury. The reason for it is that
Dayton is run on business basis. 1t is progress
sive enough to know that city is a corporation
and that its interests are best conserved by hav-
ing experts administer the city government. This
impels the Wheeling Register to say:
Staff writer's of the Cleveland Plain Dealer
are investigating the financial condition of all
the large cities of Ohio, with view to discover
ing how they are getting along under the new
tax laws of the state. Here is the first para
graph of the report on Dayton which was pub
lished few days ago:
Remarkable efficiency in the administration
of it's government is enabling Dayton to weather
the financial storm which is threatening to wreck
other Ohio cities. Dayton this year has not only
the close of 1916 it will be able to show cash
balance of many thousands dollars
The unusual feature of this report was the
fact that Dayton alone, of all the large cities Of
Ohio, is without deficit in it's municipal treas
ury. Other cities are running behind Dayton
is paying her bills and enjoying all the benefits
of efficient and progressive city government.
This fact should be very gratifying to citizens Of
Wheeling Our city council is engaged in its
annual effort to balance income and expenditures
and seems disposed to find way out by the time
honored expedent of arbitrarily increasing the
estimate of receipts. Deficits are the rule here
not the exception-just as they are in the aver
age Ohio city. But Dayton is not only paying
her bills, but may be able to show surplus at
the close of the year.
. The only reasonable explanation for better
results of municipal administration in Dayton
than in other cities is found in the fact that Day.
ton is commission-governed with a competent
city manager. And because the same form of
government is soon to become effective in Wheel

Building the Walls Of the City

Scores of Richmond men are beginning work
to build their city Just as Nehemiah in the Bible
days, returned to Jerusalem and rebuilt it.
These men who are promoting the INDUS

Nehcmiahs of today. Like the prophet of old.
they recognize the needs of their city. And with
the spirit of Nehemiah, they cheerfully are going
to much pains and are willingly making individ-
ual sacrifices in order that the people of Rich
mond may reap the benefit.
Nehemiah made a survey of Jerusalem and
found that it's walls were down, that the city
needed upbuilding and new spirit OF DARE
AND DO" So Nehemiah set out to repair the
damage, inspire his fellow citizens with new
courage, and restore to Jerusalem her old-time
vigor and renown.
Good business men, farsighted patriots have
turned their attention to the needs of Richmond.
They believe that 100000 Factory Fund is
necessary to promote the future progress and
welfare of the city. So they have set about to
attain this end
One hundred thousand dollars subscribed by
the citizens of Richmond and administered by the
city's best business men will be powerful up
building influence. Its potentialities directed by
the best minds of the community will strengthen
the industrial foundations of Richmond.
Leaders in industry, business and banking
have weighed carefully every phase of the pro-
posed plan and have endorsed it. They are the
leaders in the movement.
City Building has become science. Edward
f. Trefz, of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, believes in this kind of city pro-
motion He will speak here Monday. Mr. Trefz
believes industrial expansion and municipal prog
ress depend upon certain spiritual factors and
genuine spirit of cooperation and unselfish SER
vice. The 100000 fund will be administered
with the purpose of aiding the whole city, every
man and all classes.

National Efficiency

To some observers the trade fight after the
war will be test of efficiency and not of cheap
raw material and cheap labor. Those who hold
this view say that the United States ought pre-
pare now to meet this condition. They assert
that whereas fifty per cent of German indus
tries know exactly what it costs them to produce
an article only ten per cent of the industries in
the United States have exact knowledge of the
cost of production.
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the federal
trade commission, says that nine-tenths of the
concerns reporting to the commission do not

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if lou wait to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali
This dries the scalp, akes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut OF. (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls Till cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
In. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle OF dus+, dirt,
dandruff and excessive OIL The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every mem
