BEST ENGINE IS
LIGHT AND SPEEDY
Expert of Oakland Company
Says Lightweight High Speed
Motor Is the Best
BY A. C. HAMILTON,
Chief Engineer of the Oakland Motor
Car Company

| Car Company
From every angle the light high
speed motor is the best engine for
automobiles. Not only does it give the
motorist economy, fleXibility and a
the heavy, slow speed type, but it
is the most logical from the point of
technique in motor construction.
Coming after the steam engine in
| ternal combustion motors naturally
| followed the best steam engine design.
| At the outset engineers had nothing
| from which to work except the steam
engine. The best principles of steam
engine design called for large bore
and a short stroke in an engine whose
piston speed never exceeded q thou
sand feet minute.
1t was considered dangerous to at
tempt a higher speed per minute with
steam engine, and the first internal
combustion engines were designed
with a large bore for the cylinder and
short stroke. Experiment and test
showed the weak points of such con-
struction.
The larger the heated surface of the
combustion chamber the more waste
of heat and consequent loss of effic-
| iency, engineers found to be one draw
back. Then, too, the speed was held
down by the inertia of the reciprocal
ing parts - energy lost when the
heavy piston was stopped at the end
! of the upward or downward stroke.
The big heat surface of the large
bore, short stroke motor also prevent
ed the use of high compression be-
! cause it produced pre-ignition, COM
monty called spark knock" was eX-
tremely hard on the bearings and dis
agreeable to the motorist.
! To reduce the inertia of the recip-
rocating parts and the charging and
scavenging of the cylinders.
With view to reducing the heat
surface of the cylinder and elimin-
ating all the waste heat possible the
! bore of the cylinder was reduced and
the stroke heightened. This not only
adds power by reducing the heat
! losses, but it lightens the reciprocal
| ing parts, thus reducing the inertia.
| These points of construction gave
this type of motor a distinct advant-
| age over other types. 1t reduced the
| heated surface SO that "Spark-knocks"
were eliminated. 1t permitted the in
stallation of the same sized power
unit in q shorter space, getting away
from the long heavy motor and en-
abling designers to have more latitude
in the exterior lines of q motorcar.
Having established the superiority
of the long stroke small bored motor,
engineers discovered that the over
head valve gave the best results. This
is due to the fact that there are no
pockets in the combustion chamber
in this method of construction as op-
posed to the L-head or T-head motors.
While harder to build, this type is
worth while, and its success as a pow
er producer is well recognized by
makers of aviation motors and auto
mobile racing cars.
In the construction of Oakland
Sensible Six" both the overhead
valve and small bore long stroke
motor have been worked out to a
point of maximum efficiency. Oak
land Six motor represents the very
latest in approved practice of engine
construction.

Tells Inspiration For
Geared-to-Road Tires

when the motorIst has to turn out
on narrow road for a steam or gaso-
line tractor he is usually peeved, when
in reality he should be glad to give
it the right of way" says f.. C. Mill
hoff sales director of The Miller Rub
Der Company.
you see," continues Mr. Millhoff.
long before the automobile and pneu-
matte tire was even thought of, steam
tractors used a non-skid tread to give
them traction, and prevent skidding.
and it is this tread that Miller engineers
adopted to their pneumatic tire. They
call 1t the 'Geared to- the Road tread
and it is similar in design and denti
cal in action with the tread used years
ago, and still universally used on trac-
tors.
1.-The sharp -geared teeth of the Miller
Cleared to- the-Road tread cut through
the slush and mud and mesh with the
pavement. They literally get your car
to the road.
so you see the motorist does owe
something to the efficient. yet none too
handsome tractor which sometimes
seem to hog the road"

u. S. Army Engineers
Endorse Jefery Trucks

To pass muster by United States
army engineers. a motortruck must
accept the time honored challenge OF
the army mule and demonstrate it's
ability to "go anywhere a four-mule
team can CO." This challenge has
been met successfully by the Jeffery
Quad again and again not only in
severe tests but in actual workaday
service down in Mexico.
The technical qualities that n mo-
tor vehicle must meet to be selected
for service in this department of the
army are: Positive nonslipping drive
on all four wheels. high ground clear
ance both under axle and center Of
truck (the reason is obvious to any
one who has seen a motortruck cross
desert or an unbroken field) ability
to revolve on all four wheels under
almost any road conditions.
In addition to possessing all the
above features the Jeffery Quad is
rendered all the more desirable by
having the ultimate in tractive abil-
| ity-namely it's locking differentials
and special tire chains.
The Jeffery line is handled exclu-
sively in Harrisburg territory by the
Bentz-L lands Auto Company OF Lo-
gan street.

when they shall indeed participate in
the aid of our allies.
The committee in charge of the sec
ond drive in Dexter are deeply appre-
ciative Of all assistance given them
during the campaign and they are par
ticularly grateful for the wonderful
work of the Dexter 10y Scouts and
of the First Baptist church, these lads
securing to their credit during the past
few days the magnificent sum of $4,000
for the purchase of Liberty Loan
bonds Sixteen Of the enthusiastic lads
sold a sufficient number of the bonds
to entitle them to wear the war serV-
ice emblems given Boy Scouts by the
United States government. One scout.
Kenneth Burrill, was a happy boy
when he obtained from one of Dex-
ter's citizens the pledge for a $4,000
bond and this pledge was not the only
one secured by him. Other scouts sold
bonds of the denomination of $1,000
also of $1,000. The boys are rejoicing
concerning the happy results of their
efforts and it is quite needless to state
that Dexter citizens are finding keen
delight in noting the very manifest
ioy and eXuberance of spirits in which
these hustlng scouts are now indulg-
ing The second Liberty Loan was cer-
tainly a great victory as far as Dex-
ter people are concerned.

YOUNG LADIES TO
SELL RED CROSS
CHRISTMAS SEALS

The committee in charge of the sale Of
Red Cross Christmas seals met Wednes-
day evening a the home of the chair
man, Miss Rosamond Connor at 16 Elm
street. and made plans for the coming
weeks Of work. An order for 10000 seals
has already been placed and the plans Of
the evening made it seem possible to sell
many more. so that a vote was taken to
duplicate that order, making Augusta S to-
tai 10000 Red Cross Christmas seals. 4
new idea in the system of selling the seals
will be introduced this year by a house
toulouse canvass.
Teams will be formed Of the young Ia
dies Of the city, who will have certain
streets to cover and by this way 1t looks
as if Augusta viii be quite thoroughly
canvassed and that everyone will have a
chance to help in this work. Places of
business, the hospitals and other public
institutions have been arranged for and
the various committees appointed.
Churches and local orders will be asked
to help also in the work.
