SUPERIORITY OF
SIX IN BALANCE
Makers Say Average Buyer
Cannot Distinguish Differ
ence in Running of Motors
BY r. II. COLLINS
General Sales Manager Buick Motor
Company


If the advantage of the six-cyIinder
motor had to be defined in one word,
that word would be balance" Max
ers of six-cylinder motors contend that
this type of power plant yields the
maximum of smooth power that can
be obtained without the necessity for
more or less costly mechanical sacri-
fees.
Theoretically, of course, the smooth
ness of the power developed by a mo-
tor increases as the cylinders are in
creased In number. Makers of skies
contend, however, that beyond a GER
tain point this extya smoothness of
power has no significance to the aver
age motorist. They argue that for all
practical purposes the six-cylinder mo-
tor supplies power that is smooth
enough to be defined as practically
liquid in its flow.
Makers of skies do not contend that
| a greater number of cylinders than
six are impracticable in a motor. They
contend that beyond a certain point
in motor smoothness any additional
smoothness is undiscernible to the av-
erage user. 1t is just like thousand
dollar watch; a nice thing to own, per-
haps, if one has the money to spare,
but as a timekeeper not one whit
better than a watch that can be pur-
chased for a hundred dollars.
The Buick Motor Company received
thousands of inquiries after its "sixes
exclusively announcement asking why
its output would be confined to that
one type. The reply in each instance
was to the effect that the six-cylinder
motor offered the greatest possible
motor smoothness and balance that
could be built into motor of simple
construction.
The Buick Company contends that
in the present stage of engineering de-
velopment to go beyond six cylinders
would involve a mechanical completely
and expense which would not be war
ranted by the advantages gained.
The Buick Company also takes the
position that the six is the logical mo-
tor, from the standpoint of public fa-
vor as well as the standpoint of me-
chanical efficiency. Since the an
nouncement that all Bucks would be
siX-cylinder models the company has

FORD PENETRATEs WILDs
LkUTI

The first automobile to make its
way intothe town of Cervantes, the
capital of the nonChristian subprov-
ince of Lepanta, Philippine Islands,
was a Ford.
Lepanta is In the northern part of
A1uzon, and heretofore it has been
presumed that 1t was impossible to
reach it by motor car on account OF
the wild and difficult nature of the
mountainous country. The Ford trip
was made by ]. J. Fox fromTagudin,
a town on the east coast of Luzon.
Among the several gauges, meters,
ETC., adorning the present day motor

been swamped with demand for its
product.
Buick six-cylinder motors are built
with the valves directly in the top of
the cylinders; hence the name valve
in-head"-so that on the exhaust
stroke the dead gases, in order to get
out, travel in a straight line. When
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-02-19

the piston starts upward the valve
opens, and the dead gases, carbon, ETC.,
take a straight shoot for the opening.
They do not have to turn corners of
any kind. The opening lies straight
ahead. Thus the valve-in-hea motor
lends itself to the accommodation of
the natural tendency of air, or gas.

car, if there is any single one which
it would seem should be easily and
quickly read, it is the speedometer.
An example of the care exercised in
this direction is seen in the Cadillac.
The speed indicator is set in the in
strument board directly in line with
the drivers vision so that he can see
it without moving his head, and
scarcely needs take his eyes off the
road.

PRUSSIA APPEALS no GERMANY

A contemporary calls attention to
the fact that the Chancellor, in laying
before the Reichstag the man-power
bill, appealed to that body. ION be-
half OF the confederate governments
This is significant Prussia no longer
commands, through the will Of the
Prussan King, who is German En-
peror, but urges cooperation from
all the duchies, principalities and
Kingdoms that constitute the German
empire. Heretofore, it has been Prus-
STA and the iHohenZollern, who assum-
ed the divine right to dictate the
course of Germany. Now all Germany
is besought to uphold the Hohenzol-
lern hand As yet, the confederate
governments" are holding firm. How
much blind obedience they will con-
tinue to yield, after it is all over, is
another question.

IMMORTAL SUGGESTIONS

Thinking people encounter many
things in this world which remind
them of their Immortality. Cato had
doubtless realized this Unborn instinct
before he read Plato's production. \

planets and consultations should ne.
sufficient evidence that there are
''other worlds save this small planet
upon which We live and move and
have our being.
When Sadducees, who denied the
existence of angels and scoffed at I'M
mortality, approached the Great
Teacher with a hypothetical question
which they supposed would non-plus
Him. He told them that God was a
God of the living, not of the dead. j
This great truth and great COM
fort was probably brought home to
the large assemblage IN the Elks'
Auditorium last night during the
services in respect to the memory Of
deceased members of that order. An
Illuminated letter OF star represent
ed each of the forty-four Elks of AL
exandra, who had passed from earthly
scenes during the past fourteen years,
and which flashed as the roll Of the
dead was called.
There are times when our immor--
tally asserts itself, and those present

called and letter OF star beamed
forth. They remained as fixed lights
