HEAT RUNS AUTO,
NOT EXPLOSIONS
Essex Dealer Explains What
Makes the Wheels
Go Around.

There is hardly one driver of an
automobile in hundred that really
knows what makes his car rum"
said Mr.. Lambert. Ninety nine per
cent or the people you meet will say
that their car is operated bv explo-
sions in the cylinders.
~As matter of fact, nothing even
remotely resembling an Explosion
takes place in. an automobile engine
when the = gasoline vapor Is ig-
nited by the spark. Every gas en-
CINE Is heat engine and derives its
power from converting the fuel used
into heat. 1t Is the expansion of
the heated gases in the cylinders
that results in the impulses neces-
sary to run the motors.
so far as the motor Is concerned,
a gallon represents SO many heat
units. and the greater the percent
age OF these heat units that can be
converted into power, the greater
the efficiency OF the engine and the
lower the cost OF operation.
The combustion of the gasoline in
the cylinders 10 a comparatively
slow operation. This is the reason
for advancing the spark. When the
spark is advanced the combustion is
started before the piston reaches the
upper half OF its stroke. Thus the
full force OF the expanding gas is
utilized the instant the piston begins
its downward journey.
One OF the secrets of the remark
able performance of the new essex
Is the care taken to utilize the heat
generated from every drop Of fuel
AS result the motor develops more
than so horsepower, although il IL
only rated at IS and is only 30 inches
in length over all.
The manifold carrying the car
buretor is bolted directly to the head
OF the cylinders and the inward pas
sages are given a downward slope
from the carburetor through the
valves. Perfect conditions for start
ing are thus obtained. together with
the greatest efficiency. since the
combination OF gravity flow of the
mixture and the hot manifold in
sures perfect distribution and COM
plete combustion of the fuel. Every
drop Of fuel Is atomized and burned.

crates with Automobile
Chamber Commerce.

Never since the organization or
the automobile industry. has there
been until within the last few days
any definite attempt at cooperation
between the manufacturers of auto
mobiles and the producers of gaso-
line. The recent formation of the
American Petroleum Institute fur
nished the first opportunity. Dis
cussions between representatives of
that organization and the National
Automobile Chamber OF Commerce,
led to a meeting at the Manhattan
Hotel on Wednesday evening at
which there were present, repre-
senting the gasoline interests. T. A.

The immediate object OF the meet
ing was merely the formation OF an
acquaintance between the two
groups, in the expectation that more
formal results would follow. Mu-
tual problems were discussed. how
ever, and IL was decided to form a
conference committee OF Ave mem
bers from each side, each with
power to appoint such sub-commit'

The opinion was freely expressed

FOR B0LSHEv|SM
Picnics for Poor Suggested
To Counteract Evils of
Red Propaganda.

Why all this talk about Bolshevism
should not a bit of common sense be
applied every day by every Citizen

Do not merely talk about it. Apply
the golden rule to everyday life.
Bolshevism is based on Ignorance.
dissatisfaction, envy and greed. more
than on poverty and hunger, although
the latter do cause desperate acts. 1t
cannot thrive in the open air and
bright sunshine of Gods country"
One suggestion to help make the
poor happier Is that automobilists. in
Guiding truck owners, organize free
picnic trips at frequent intervals and
take parties into the country for a
happy day, requesting the guests to
bring their own lunch baskets. though
these might be supplemented by con-
tributions. This is on the same broad
and generous principle of giving a lift
to men in uniform at all times, and
tiking their relatives to visit them at
camp. Last year many visitors also
took Sunday papers TO the camps.
1t only requires one "organizer' in
each locality to start the plan and
keep ii going. Then occasional news

motor owners to cooperate for a fixed
time. place and journey would bring
many volunteers. Have friendly talks

1t is well in organizing such trips
to interest at least one. garage man
who can direct operations should any
OF the cars in the "'fleet' become
stalled" otherwise some of the party
might miss the days pleasure. One
frequent cause of trouble is ignition
going wrong where batteries are used.
but cars equipped with magnetic igni-
ton are always found to be depend
able. Tire trouble would not be serious.
as these journeys would only average
ten or twenty miles. In fact, car
owners would only need to take their
party to the agreed place and call
again for them at the time fixed for
returning.
An incalculable amount of happiness
could be given to the workers of this
country II this could become "A Ma
tional Volunteer Movement for Weekly
Automobile Outings" for there are
5000 available cars in the country.
Giving strangers lift in isolated cases

is not money the workers want as
much as an occasional day in the
country to enjoy themselves as they
otherwise could not.

London, Sept. 13.-Nearly 100000,
including $4,000 ex-service men, who
marched in procession to Hyde park
attended the memorial service to
men fallen in the war.
The bishop of London told the
story of a mother whom he knew
we'll whose boy, aged l9, had been
killed by falling 10000 feet in an
air battle. On hearing the news she
was broken hearted.
Suddenly she saw a bright form
clothed just as her son had left her.
She felt his arms round her, his lips
on hers, and in voice of indescrib-
able tenderness he said: mo. num-

to you on earth again." and van
ished. Those visions were only very
seldom vouchsafed and faith did not
depend upon them, the bishop said.
but they enforced what they were
promised, and that was that their
son, their husband, friend or COM
rade was the same person five min
utes after death as he was before.
He advised them, however, to
have nothing to do with spiritualism.
