The United States army officers and the Reclamation officials have joined hands and made something unique in the way of dancing pavilion. The floor is built in six sections, which when put together makes a pavilion 40x6O feet. The first dance was given by army officers last Saturday week in the driveway into Reclamation headquarters. It was splendid sue cess. The next one will be given by the Reclamation boys at the same place The idea in building the pavil- ion in sections is to permit the nov ing of it from one place to another. During the coming summer it will undoubtedly be used quite frequently on the army campus.

thought. The whole force of con- structive effort was focused on the chassis. When the engineers and ma chinists had completed the running considered that the automobile was as good as finished. They reasoned that all that then remained was to send it to the coachmaker and have him put something in the shape of top on it that would accommodate the levers and operating attachments, rather than the passengers.
 The body of the car Tyas but slightly considered by the designers of the chassis. That was an incidental ap- bondage to be added by the coach- maker. But gradually the early mo- tor car builders began to see the ad- vantage of drawing closer to the men who were to design and build the body of the car. This approach by the two different sets of artisans was slow, toilSome and suspicious. This retarded the realization of riding comfort and ! delayed the general popularity of the power driven pleasure car
 Creation of Marmon 34
 While the insistent pressure of pub- lie demand compelled these two groups of artisans to see that they really must cooperate in order to secure anything like passenger comfort and a body that would not be quickly shaken apart, the idea of the dominance of the chassis and subservience of the body prevailed in the minds of motor car makers un- til the new ideal of supreme passenger comfort came to the man responsible for the creation of the Marmon 34 Now, say the builders, the tyrany of that dictatorship is done for and they have what they announce, "The Easiest | Riding Car in the World"
 What were the mental processes that went into the making of this ideal mo- | tor car comfort? The builders say this question can be answered definite ly and with authority. As an engineer | and designer of high class cars. with an ambition to compete in output with MT. Ford, this builder found himself one day speculating upon the refine ments still possible to the motor car not handicapped by low price. He ar rived at his ideal of motor car com fort mainly by process of elimination.
 What, he asked, was the cardinal fault in a pleasure car that fell down m It's attempt to define it's name and fulfill it's purpose? Unpleasant riding, Of course. Discomfort to passengers. and operator, of course. There could De no other answer to this question.
 What other fault would take rank to this? The necessity of overhauling a car after long and hard drive. When Q car must be carefully overhauled after day of hard work in order to be in a safe condition for another days work the term pleasure car" goes to discount and becomes a reproach in- stead of a definition.

transferred to the crankshaft. and thence to the rear axle. and from there to the rear wheels. Heat all the way through is therefore the power that drives an automobile.
 This is the principle of all automo- bile motors. Wherein does the Buick valve-in-head differ from other types?
 It is to the utmost interest of the automobile owner to have a car which uses the highest possible percentage of the heat derived from gasoline to push the piston. All the gasoline that goes elsewhere than against the piston is waste.
 When gasoline Is exploded in the cylinder of an automobile motor there are just two places it can go-just to avenues of escape for it.
 First, it can find an outlet by push- ing the piston downward.
 Second, it can escape through the cylinder walls into the water that is used to keep the cylinders from get ting too hot.
 The automobile owner wants ths highest percentage of that heat to % against the piston. In the Buick more heat goes against the piston and less into the water than in other motors. This IS because of the Buick valve ar engagement
 Tn the Buick motor the valves are in the tops, or heads, of the cylinders. hence the name 'valve-in-head." This means that the valves are in a snot that is already water jacketed. so that no additional water jacketed snace ie necessary to accommodate them. Thus there is less opportunity for heat to escape into water in the Buick valve in-head motor.
 The Buick motor will develop from fifteen to twenty per cent more bower | than similar sized motors of other ] types, and this is simply because there | is from fifteen to twenty per cent less waste of heat in the Buick.
 Straight Line Exhaust
 Due to the fact that the exhaust valve in the Buick valve-in-head mo- tor is directly in the top of the cylin- der the dead gases which result from, i each explosion are more completely expelled, thus leaving the cylinder clean for the introduction of the next charge of gasoline.
 If you had two pumps at work fore ing water through two sets of pines one set of straight pipes and the othe, curved and crooked, you would find that the pump attached to the straieht pipes, using the same amount of DOW. CT, would pump a great deal more wa ter than the pump attached to the crooked pipes.
 This would be due to the fact that water going through the crooked pines would meet with more frictional resist. ance along the side walls of the pipes At each twist and turn of the pipes the water would be held back. The Buick valve-in-head motor has always a snar and Hveliness because of it's straight line exhaust and consequent lack ot friction.
Arizona republican., 1917-11-14
Ideal Summed Up


 Again he reflected that motor car has not reached a really high state of refinement and efficiency that cannot be controlled without imposing con- scious strain upon it's operator and will not move at a greater speed than its operation and passengers think it is de- veIoping. This builder of some sixteen generations of racing and pleasure cars put his new ideal in about these terms:
 q want to push passenger comfort to point of unprecedented luxury, and operating comfort to notch where strain is softened to the vanishing point. It is my ambition to build a will believe themselves going thirty miles an hour when the actual speed is perhaps fifty or sixty miles an hour; a car that is so easy to take care of that it may be relied upon to run many thousand miles without demanding any attention aside from being supplied with gasoline and oil for its motor-a car without an elaborateIy charted system of grease cups to be turned up at fixed and varied intervals.
 "No car that squeaks or rattles is really refined and it is possible to build a car of sufficent rigidity to do away with these comfort destroying condi- tions."
 Filled with this determination he worked for months, cautiously feeling his way along the trail of elimination to a point from which he could com- mand an outlook upon the problems of his big task sufficiently clear to put some of their main elements upon pa per- After his ideas became definite enough to be expressed, in a tentative

Comfort at any speed, is the way in which. the Marmon 34 IS an- nounced to the public. This car was recently added to the list of high class automobiles handled by the Babbitt-P Poison company. Story of the building of this car is told below from facts furnished by the Nordyke & Marmon company, makers of the car. at Indianapolis. The story is the story of evolution in automobile making, showing how the automobile is advancing toward perfection, and telling something about the great prob lens that confront mechanical en- gineers in. the creation of an inn provement in automobile construc-- ton. In the building of the Mar mon 34 the body was built first; or it might be said, that the car was built from the top down, rath- CT than from the bottom up, which is the usual way of doing things. | This was done in the process of elimination in a determined effort to increase comfort and efficiency.
