PISTON RING IN
MOTOR. MUST NOT
Be OVERLOOKED
Manager E. H. 0aIbey Of Gill
Piston Ring Co., Explains
Importance Of This \
Feature. n

THE importance OF Piston ring
quality and adjustment to secure
continuous efficient operation of an
automobile motor cannot be over
estimated declares Ernest n. Dali
hey, manager of the Gill Piston Ring
company, Twentieth and Farnam
streets.
"The Piston ring packing between
the motor and cylinder and the Pts
ton holds the compression in the
combustion chamber" he explains,
"and at the SAME time prevents oil
from coming past into the combps-
ton chamber. In order to be eff
ficient in its duties the Piston ring
must press firmly against the cylin-
der walls aQd the joint must be Of
careful construction.
y piston rings are made from cast
iron and necessarily are softer than
the motor block, in order not to
wear the block undu1y. Under the
heat generated in the motor the
rings are bound in time to lose their
tension. But it remains true that a
ring made from a separate casting,
where the scale is left on the inside
of the ring, will last much longer
than those made from pot castings,
having the scale ground out.
Gill rings have double step cut
and simple joint, making the ring
easily installed. When properly in
stalled they never fail to give salts
factios." \
Mr.. Dalbey, located here for three
years, says he is now carrying more
than 700 sizes of standard and over
size Piston rings in stock.
This stock is the most complete
IN Iowa or Nebraska and enables us
to furnish the best possible service" ;.

Lion Scared Neveless
By Movie Camera and
Bunch Of Children

Budapest, Feb. 28.-During the
filming of a play at Lipsebe, near
here, in which the circus was repre-
scented, one OF the lions, frightened
at the clicking of the camera, broke
out from the precincts of the movie
factory and, to the horror of the
players, jumped over wall into the
yard of a boys and girls elementary
school, where the children were at
play.
To the surprise of the animals
keeper, who feared the worst, the
lion showed no hostility to the chill
dren, whose years ranged from 4 to
7. The children appeared to well
come the king of beasts as a comic
relief from the school studies. When
the. tanner arrived, revolver in hand,
he found the lion covering against
the wall mutely appealing for pro-
lection.

Suffrage Acts Like
Boomerang, In Opinion
Of Kentucky Judge


Frankfort, KY, Feb. 28.-Crime
has defeated suffrage in the race in
Kentucky for complete emancipation
of women. A law hundreds of years
old the supreme court of the state
declares no longer exists.
Mrs. Edith King of Owensboro,
sold liquor without license and
was convicted. Her defense was
that the crime was committed CO.
jointly with her husband, hence un-
der his coercion.
Not so, says the court; that used
to be the law, but since woman
wants the ballot and owns her prop
erty separately from her husband she
is fully emancipated

 It is said that the results from the use of automatic machinery are mo- where more manifest than in agri- culture A farmer is at last in a po- sitfon to operate q tract of several thousand acres Of land all alone, or just with the aid of his family and mach ines, such as tractors capable of hauling three or four blows at one time, power grain planter and culti-
 vatorS a one man binder for oae and wheat, and the great husking ma chimes to gather the corn crops, etc.
 The same efficiency is being wrought in the factory by the use of automatic
 machines to take the place of labor. These machines, with the aid of skill ed labor, will be the only savers of the situation. If the manufacturer meets the demand or overproduces the stock then, and then only, will the high cost of articles be reduced. If the manufacturer can reduce the cost of his~production, the farmer will be able to reduce the cost of his pro-
 duction; the result will be a;-fcontin-
 ual reduction till we reach normal
 prices once more.
 There are many manufacturers of autonratic machines in the market to supply machines so abnormal in their workings that they do all but talk; these machines can do the work of human people, but never know dis ] satisfact ctton, cannot organize, and will never demand higher wagessor short CT hours.
