he tried out his new ideal upon his as- sociates.
 Teamwork On the Task A'meeting of the executive commit tee of the Nordyke X Marmon com pany was called, in February, 1914. It was gathering of general officers and department heads. This unexpsctant group of executives experienced sud den identification when the man with the new ideal of supreme motor car comfort briefly sketched, in boldest outline, the vision that had been haunt ing him for months.
 The symposium that followed made motor car history. It showed that not a man present had failed to respond to the new ideal; that the significance of the hour and task was instantly recognized; that every man there be- gan to do high pressure thinking.
 The ideas advanced in that sym posium were finally simmered down into this crisp, simple code of car dinal requirements:
 A car of perfect balance, easy to handle, which might be driven for long journeys without fatigue to operator or passengers.
 A car that would answer every req sonabe demand without effort.
 A car of such refinement in detail as to eliminate incessant attention.
 A car of great economy in fuel and tires.
 A car of artistic individuality.
 Then followed the fixing of the com mercial and mechanical limitations of the engineers problems. It was agreed that it should have six cylinders and cantilever springs; that it should weigh three thousand pounds and that it should be able to to do sixty miles an hour with it's full quota of passengers. Its dimensions were not dictated but it was stipulated that it must carry d seven passenger body of a size that should give absolute comfort.
 Motor Not Defined
 The meeting did not define the ex- act character of the motor beyond the stipulation that it's pickup and hill climbing ability should he faultless.
 
 the size of the wheel base. This was left to be worked out later.
 The general disposition of the meet ing was to leave the engineering de- partment a free hand and the greatest possible leeway in the dealing with de- tails. The main thing was that the big ideal of pushing passenger and operating comfort to new and revo- lutionary point of attainment should not be lost sight of for an instant and that all other considerations should be held subservient to this supreme pass enger comfort-that was the key pitched for the whole engineering sym phony.

stand that all automobile motors are heat engines. Regardless of their form of construction or their number of cylinders, all automobile motors are heat engines. By that it is meant that heat is the force which furnishes the power of the motors. To reach an un- derstanding of automobile motors it is necessary to get this fundamental fact fixed firmly in the mind
 Gasoline is the fuel which supplies the heat. In other words, gasoline is the raw material, from which the heat is made, just as cotton is the raw ma terial for making cloth.
 Engine Explosion
 When the gasoline is taken into the carburetor it is vaporized and mixed with air. That is, it is transformed into gas. This gas is then taken into the cylinders, and by means of an electric spark it is burned so very quickly that We speak of it as an explosion. If you could burn stick of wood as quickly it would explode"
 This burning or exploding of the gasoline creates very high degree of heat. It is the expansion of this heat against the piston which causes the automobile to move
 A fresh charge of gasoline is taken into the cylinder with each alternate downward stroke of the piston, called the power stroke. At the end of the power stroke the heat desrived from this charge of gasoline is gone. Ii was used up in the effort necessary to drive the piston downward. Then comes the exhaust stroke and then another DOW CT stroke. This process goes on con- tinually in each cylinder while the au. tomobile is running.
 Heat Does the Work Heat pushes the piston downward and this movement of the piston Is

WHAT BUICK VALVE -IN-HEAD MEANS; PRINCIPLE EXPLAINED
 REDUCES WASTE n MINIMUM

Statesmen at the Babbitt-Polson company are frequently asked by peo- pie not familiar with automobile terms what the Buick valve in the head means. When they first come they leave an impression upon the sales men that they think it means a new kind of cure for insanity or bad cold. The Babbitt-Polson company, which sells the Buick cars here and else where, finds this valve in the head good drawing card for. prospective buyers, for when it is explained what valve in the head means the prospec- tive buyer of an overnight cold cure becomes a buyer of a Buick automo- bile.
 The Buick valve in head motor" the salesmen reply, "conserves and uses larger percentage of power con- tained in gasoline than any other mo- tor" Then they tell what that valve in the head means. Here in substance is what they say:
 A great many present and prospec- tive users of motor cars have the idea that all motors are substantially alike, and that they differ only in detail. There Is a fundamental difference be- tween the Buick and other cars, and that difference is due to the Buick valve in head motor.
 The Buick valve-in- n-head motor diff fers from the other types of motors in both appearance and action. It is diff ferent in appearance because the valves through which gas enters and leaves the cylinders are in the tops, or heads. of the cylinders. whereas in other motors theses valves are placed in pockets on the side of the cylinder.
 Because of this different method of placing the valves in the Buick cylin- der. the Buick motor in action, has two fundamental advantages over other types of motors.
 Two Advantages
 First, the Buick valve-in head motor conserves and uses larger percentage of power contained in gasoline than other motors.
 Second, because of it's valve-in- head construction the dead gases resulting from each explosion in the Buick cyl finder are more completely expelled than in other motors, thus preventing the next incoming charge of gasoline from being weakened through mixture with remaining portions of these dead gases. consequently increasing the power of each explosion.
 The first 0: these advantages. while stated in fewer words, is by far the more important.
 Now for the real meaning of the valve-in-head:
 The buyer should understand, the sslesmen will say, that an automobile motor is by far the most important part of a car and the whole question , of the cars worth depends upon the motor. Next, the buyer should under

There are some things mechanical so close to man, so vital to his comfort, that they are almost as much alive to him as if they were born, instead of made by the human hand
 The modern motor car is the most conspicuous example that may be cited to show how near the animate a me- chanical object may approach. For three centuries or more the watch held this distinction, but the automobile has pushed the watch aside and taken it's place as the most alive, the most anil mated of all man made things. No other piece of mechanism is so mar velously responsive to the touch of man. The possibilities of intimate, working companionship between a dis eliminating man and a. thoroughbred car are almost beyond belief.
 Action is the demand of the age. The high class motor car meets this demand in every way. Deep down in the hearts of men is one common desire-a yearn- ing for comfort and power.
 Power! This is the expression man l CIdNtS III every I0ldtlOH Ol He. w Heu 1t comes to mechanical convenience and satisfaction he finds this power in the modern motor car. It fairly breathes power. The pressure of a lever re- leases a volume of power that would have humbled the ancient emperors.
 About three years ago new ideal of passenger comfort came to the en-
 
 ton that a degree of ease in riding and driving not yet attained in any car was possible. With this idea came the determination to realize it. For almost fifteen years he had been building pleasure cars and racing cars. Four teen years of steady, consistent, con- structive thinking focused on the single purpose of embodying a certain ideal of refinement and service in 8 motor car-this is the right back tground for distinctive achievement The kind of experience that counts il the higher attitudes of mechanical en, gineering is not the brand that can bt borrowed, was the conclusion reached by this engineer.
 Closer Harmony Sought
 One of the first details of this nev engineering enterprise that emerged from the mists of inventive speculation and took definite form was the recog hilton of the fact that the ideal O perfect comfort in riding and drivin; could not be obtained without a close harmony between body and chassis that the forced union between thes two units must be transformed into relationship so close that all though of their separate existence could b. eliminated It was seen that to realiz the supreme passenger comfort the. must be perfectly fused into a single light, rigid and powerful unit.
 Back in the beginning of automobil building, the body was almost an after

The MENTAL type is distinguished
by triangular features, an over active
brain and slighter, often frail body.
Generally high-strung, the MENTAL
child links most strongly with life
through it's nervous system.
When the three primary tempera-
ments are about equally balanced a
harmonious blend results, and to the
mixed type most American children
belong. They are particularly YER
satile.
Usually, however, one or the other
predominates, and where it does the

readily applied.
Study the accompanying illustra-
ton types and fix in your mind the
features that go with their respec-
tive temperaments.
In addition it is necessary to know
that certain portions of the brain or
head reveal particular qualities.
The front brain embraces the in
teIlectual, reasoning faculties.
On the sides are the faculties indi-
eating force, executive ability,
shrewdness, diplomacy-the quail
ties making for selfshness or its OPP
posite, according to their develop
ment.
The back brain contains the social
and domestic traits, the affections.
The top head holds the moral quail
tiles.
The relative largeness or smaIlness
of any of these regions indicates the
most or least active parts of the
child's makeup.
These various brain areas can US
uaIIy be developed or restricted by
being appealed to and excited, or by
being neglected.
Parents and teachers may thus
