tanks on account of their simplicity. i dependability and gigantic power. MT. Knights idea was four-fold when he invented this motor; to eliminate parts, to gain simplicity, to increase power and obtain silence.
 To you who have never seen the 1 inside action of the sleeve valve motor we will state briefly it's working parts and action. Instead of the ordinary poppet valves, there are two thin round sleeves sliding slowly one ninth of the piston speed, and smooth ly up and down. They travel one inch and only one ninth of the distance the piston travels. The action of the sleeves and piston is positive, and ab solutely certain at all times. As they aFe connected by small connecting rods, to an eccentric or cam shaft This shaft is operated from the main drive shaft. There is not a spring or anything of like nature in a Knight motor. Therefore the tension which the poppet valve motor depends upon on account of springs, is entirely elim- mated in the Knight.
 In these sleeves are large openings called ports The registry of these ports with the ports in the cylinder NdllS, IuTnlSn lIlS NdlN6 acton. Tn gasoline combustion motors, there are four types namely; Thead, L-head, valve-in- head. and the sleeve valve.
 The l. type motor is the most com monly used; both valve and spark plugs are located at one side of the narrow piston chamber. and not di- rectly over the piston as they are in the Knight motor.
 To those who are familiar with the working of the Knight motor. you, no doubt, Have noted that instead of the narrow chamber it has a large sphere 1 shaped combustion chamber, without any side pockets. This entire cham 1 Der is also directly over the piston. 1 and directly under the spark plug. and the result is an instantaneous com bustiOn This gives the effect of a square blow directly on the center of the piston.

tor ever manufactured. The English engineers said of this. that if Mr. Knight had been inventing the oiling system with nothing else in view, his fame would have been almost as great as it is today.
 It is the splash systemy and in addi- ton to that, it has a pressure feed which forces oil to all bearings. Please pay particular attention to the closing statement on this system. It is one of he exclusive features of the Willys- Knight motor. The flow of oil is con- trolled by the throttle lever. That is, if the motor is pulling hard in deep sand, or on a long hill, and revolving slowly, the splash system naturally does not splash. The pressure system does not work fast As you open the throttle the oil supply increases, and you are getting a sufficient amount of oil, just when you need it. Likewise, by retarding your throttle, you are diminishing the supply of oil, when you do not need it.
 To those who are interested. regard less of whether you care to buy a Willys- Knight car or not, our cour- teous ,salesmen- are always on hand at our local branch to demonstrate the Knight motor to you.

 When prohibition became effective in Colorado, January l, 1916, 1,615 sa- looms and seventeen breweries were closed. Denver then had a popula- tion under one-fourth million. The es- timated population is now 275doo. The arrests for drunkenness in Denver slumped from 3,219 in 1915 to 1,549 in 1916. The arrests for vagrancy also dropped 3,714 in 1915 to LAS in 1916 In other words, during the first year of prohibition, the arrests for drunken ness were reduced more than half

and the cases of vagrancy were re- duced more than two-thirds, as the direct result of prohibition.
 Before Denver became dry" the city established a rock pile" where prisoners worked out their fines. It has since been torn down, the rocks have been hauled away and the city buys it's crushed rock in the open market. The Denver county jail with it's 402 cells was nearly always filled to capacity. Now the number of pris- oners seldom exceeds sixty.
 One of the most striking illustra . tions in favor of prohibition is shown by the 40 per cent or more decrease in the number of commitments to the

state penitentiary at Canon City. The prison population dropped from TSP, May ,. 1916, to 676 April II, 1917. One entire wing of cell houses has been closed. The number of inmates Jan uary 31, 1916. was S46; December l, 1918, the number was 561.

The sudden hating of the Long trial
in Washington county court because Of
the illness of one of the jury seems to
point to the need for greater relaxation
and recreation on the part of the IL
men who to all intents and purposes are
prisoners while they are trying to de-
eide the merits of the case as presented
to them by the contending attorneys.
The vigilance maintained over juries in
capital cases is far more strict than in
the so-ealled minor cases, and the men
are allowed few real liberties in the open
air. They are given certain amount of
exercises in the open air but that does
not seem to meet all the requirements.
Relaxation is certainly necessary for
men who are required to sit quietly sew
en- or eight hours day. A long walk
under proper surveillance, or an automo-
bile ride would probably tend to guard
the health of the IL men greatly and
thus prevent the possibility of requiring
a new start after the trial is once start

The feat of Lieut.. Maynard of the
United States air forces in completing
the first half of the round trip across the
North American continent from Mineoa,
i, l., to San Francisco, rolls up the ma
tion into comparatively small area
after all, for the actual flying time
elapsed was less than 25 hours. The
distance is approximately the same as
the flight across the Atlantic ocean by
one of the longer routes. It takes five
days to span the trans-continent trip
by means of vehicles attached to the
earth, in spite of the best speed which
the locomotive is able to command. Call

Of the flying machine, coupled with the
daring Of the pioneer in long-distance
flying, has annihilated much of the dis
lance from coast to coast; and it only
remains necessary to make it possible
for sustained fight to bring California

mans would say, at our front door.

its institutions, its laws, and its highest

A Hazardous Occupation.

The hazards Of the publishing ability
were never better demonstrated than in
the non appearance Of a large number of
popular magazines on time this week and
their probable suspension for a number
of weeks. This suspension is due TO alb
solute inability on the part of publishers
and employing printers TO meet arbitrary
demands made by members of New York
pressmen's unions which coming upon
other vastly increased publishing ex-
penses has proved TO be the last straw.
It is probable that no other business
has been fraught with quite so many
vicissitudes as the publishing business
and faced with inability to promptly
pass every advance in prices on to their
readers as it has been possible for retail
ers to do with their trade has created
situation complex and serious.
The willingness Of nationally crcu-
lated magazines to suspend publication
at the risk Of seriously injuring both
their circuIations and business revenues
Is some indication of the real situation
in the publishing business to-day.
1t is at present a ''hazardous" oecu-
patton and the coming year with the
promise of higher paper costs and higher
labor costs offers small hope for improve
ment.
Daily papers in the west are already
going to five cents a copy with advertis-
ing rates advancing in proportion. An
actual shortage of print paper which
threatens in the meantime makes the
entire situation all the more depressing.
The net result Of the New York situa-
ton promises to be the loss of an i'm.
mense amount of business on the part Of
New York publications to those pub
lished in other cities which will in no
way assist the striking New York press.
