NEW PRESSURE REGULATE HAS
BEEN WORKED OUT IN MARMON

Engineers are beginning TO realize
more and more the great advantage
OF a positive force feed fabrication
for automobile motors. In order to
get the best results the oil pressure
must be at its highest when the motor
is producing the greatest power. It
it interesting to note the way this
pressure regulation has been worked
out in the Marmon "a, the product OF
Nordyke & Marmon Company of In
dianapolis, which has created such a
great sensation in motoring circles.
The pressure of the oil up to the
limit of the safety valve is automatic
ally regulated in direct ratio to the
power produced A safety valve al
lows the pressure to be set as desired
so that the range of pressure is be-
tween one and sixty pounds, accord
ing to the speed OF the motor, oil
temperature, etc.
There Is a valve which IS operated
by the throttle lever so that when
the motor Is throttled down, the oil
supply will be cut down. with Just
enough oil going through to keep the
oil In the system in suspension. As
the throttle is opened, the valve
opens and the pressure increases. up

TELLS HOW LOWER COSE
OF MAXWELLS POSSIBL 3
President Walter e. Flanders Says First-H Hand Study
Manufacturing Results In Remarkable Reduction.
Low Price Is Causing No Little Surprise

The reason why we can produce
such car at the price we have just
announced is because we are continu
ally learning about materials. about
construction, about what the public
must have" declared Walter E.
Flanders, president and general man
ager of the Maxwell Motor Company.
when told that the reduction in the
price of the Maxwell car was causing
some surprise.
We know more about manufacture
ing. we have put this knowledge into
work. and the result, of course. must
be better car at lower price.
And not only has this knowledge
been applied to the production work,
but to the buying of materials as
well. The cost OF materials in mo-
tor car is one of the big items TO con-
slider, and no manufacturing concern
is making real progress until 1t learns
to buy materials economically. In our
case We used our foresight to good
advantage, placing orders for a large
quantity of steels and other essentials
before the real high war prices went
into effect.
TT is indeed interesting to study
the development of the motor car in
dustry during the past few years.
What the manufacturers knew just n
few years ago was almost n negligible
quantity compared to today. In no
other industry has such progress been
made, simply because there has not
| been such close research work, such
close application to the solution of
the problems which had to be solved.
I'VE have eliminated the barriers
which kept prices up for so long, be-
cause we went about the solution OF
the problem in n carefully planned.
thoroughly thought-out manner. We
have been working toward an end. the
elimination of our ideal to produce
high-grade car at the lowest posi-
BILE price, and we believe that we
have just about reached the point OF
perfection in our work"

MANY FARMERS ARE NOW USING
MOTOR TRUCKS FOR MARKETING

The fruiterer, gardener and dairy
man can market fifty miles away from
home by using a motor truck as east

II. S. Daniels, of the Kissel kar
This fact Is an excellent illustra-
tion Of what a truck will do, not only
for farmers, but other classes as well.
With horsee these farmers were con.
lined TO limited territory in dispoa-

gives them a wider area of operation,
more competitive buying and hence
better prices.

Don is for Autoists

Don't start on that trip without ex-
amining your gas tank You should
also test your brakes.
Don't try to pass every car you
meet, because that may be one time
you pass and still pay.
Don't think when you reach the
Cary Street Road you are limited to
so miles an hour. More speeders are
caught right there than anywhere
else.
Don't tell people Won have the best
car on earth. Many factories have
become wealthy making good cars.
Don't toot your horn for your own
amusement. It's all right when it's
necessary and very annoying when not
needed.
Always pass that car to the left. al
though 1t looks like you had more
room on the right You don't know
what tho other driver Is thinking
you do.
Turn those big lights down. Don't
forget the DINNER ordinance. 1t may
get you Just when you least expect
It. A word to the wise Is usually suf-
ficient

not want to tnjure them.
Remember the public still have Ger:
tain rights on the streets. Don't try
to see how near you can hit them and
miss and then frighten them Off their
feet with that horn.
Don't forget that the public are

Not Running for Governor.

Friends in Bamberg of Congress-
man James F. Byrnes, representative
in congress from the second district,
read in recent issue of the News
and Courier the following Washing
ton dispatch with a good deal of in
terest:
"One rumor here is that certain in
terests in Washington are urging
Congressman J. F. Byrnes, Of the Sec
ond congressional district, to run for
governor. This report has gained
wide circulation and includes, among
other reports, that the South Carolina
delegation are nursing the Byrnes
BOOM"
Local friends of the congressman
will be further interested to learn,
however, that Mr.. Byrnes has stated
positively that there is no founda-
tion to the rumor that he will enter
the gubernatorial contest this sum-
mer, but that he will be a candidate
to succeed himself in congress.

Snow and Thunderstorm.

When Bamberg people read in the
daily papers Tuesday morning about
a heavy snow, from three to SIX
inches deep, in the upper part OF the
State, they remembered that instead
of there being a snow in Bamberg
there had been a heavy electric storm
Monday night. Monday afternoon
snow was threatened here, and there
was what some people call "homlny
snow" and what others call sleet,
during the afternoon in a consider
able quantity, almost covering the
ground at one time. However 1t
turned warm before the forerunner
of snow got down to real hard work
and instead of snow it rained. Some
time after midnight those who do not
sleep very we'll recall that there was
an unusually heavy electric storm,
accompanied by loud peals of thun-
der, and rather a heavy wind. NO
damage has been reported from any
section of the county. 1t was some
thing quite out of the ordinary for
it to be showing in one part of the
State. and not very distant at that,
and having a thunder shower in an
other part.

Home Demonstration Work.

The Bamberg delegation to the
general assembly included in the
county supply bill this year an item
for the employment of a home dem
onstration worker for this county.
This appropriation will be supplement-
ed by the government in such amount
as is required to pay the salary of the
demonstration. Mrs. Blanche w.
Faust, of Denmark, has been appoint
ed to conduct this work. The home
demonstration work has been very
successful in the counties where it
has been instituted, and the work has
been found to be very helpful. Miss
Edith L. Parrott is State agent of the
home demonstration work, with
headquarters at Winthrop College,
Rock Hill. The home demonstration
work has grown out of the tomato
club demonstration, which was orr
ginated by Mrs. G. H. Seigler in
Aiken county several years ago.
Since that time the work has grown
in magnitude and Importance. The
appropriation was made by the Bam-
berg delegation upon petitions circu-
lated by several ladies of the county
interested in the work and freely
signed by the citizens.

CHAUTAUQUA OPENS.
Automobile Parade Yesterday Morn
ing Begins Festivities.

With the automobile parade yes
terday morning, the three days chau-
tauqua festival for Bamberg began
auspiciously. The chautauqua will
continue through today and tomor-
row, ending with the field day exer-
cises Friday morning and the chau-
tauqua attractions Friday afternoon
and evening.
The automobile parade yesterday
morning was a thing of beauty.
There were not as many cars in the
parade as last year-this no doubt
being caused by the very inclement
weather of the past few days.
The parade was formed at the
Graded school, ending at the Carlisle
campus, where the queen, Miss Mar
garet Easterling, was crowned. The
parade was headed by Kings band,
of Orangeburg, followed by the
queens float, which was beautifully
and artistically decorated. On the
float were the queen, with her escort,
DR.. Charles Wilson; the maids, Misses
Maude Massabeau and Vista Brab-
ham, and the knights, Messrs. S. E.
Beard and McGee Bamberg. DR.. Geo.
F. Hair and Mr.. w. D. Rhoad were
bo 1o of tho noroHp
There were twenty-one cars in the
parade, and the decorations were es-
pecially pretty. This year another
class of cars was added, that of ad-
advertising or booster cars, and there
were quite a number of these, with
appropriate advertising. Both the
decorated and advertising cars were
a credit to the owners. The parade
was witnessed by large crowd, there
being a large number of visitors in
the city.
The judges awarded the prize for
the best decorated car, $1,000 in gold,
to Miss May Brabham; and the prize
for the best advertising car, $500,
to the Glendale Spring car.
In the afternoon and evening chau-
tauqua attractions were presented
at the Carlisle auditorium.

Off the Course.

A good many years ago steamer
was sailing down a certain river, with
a shrewd old Yankee captain in COM
mand. Suddenly the engines stopped
and the steamer remained motionless
for several minutes. The passengers
began to talk among themselves, and
one of them, a portly, pompous per-
son, advanced to the captain.
"What seems to be the trouble, cap
tain?" he inquired. "Why have we
stopped?"
ITO much fog," answered the cap
tain, curtly. =
"But 1 can see the stars overhead
quite plainly" argued the persistent
individual. .... 3: tag. =.
'Mebbe ye can,'' admitted the cap
tain, grimly. "But unless the b'ilers
bust, we amt goin'~that way!"
