New Paige Method of
 Crank Shaft Forging
Develop Original Practice to Secure Smoothness of Operation-One or Salient Points Tn Construc-
 ton of Light Six

2 A method of crank case and crank smart construction, new to American automotive
 engineering and developed to assure gerat- CT smoothhess of operation. is one Of the
 salient points that is attracting special attention to the new Paige light six chas- sis.
 In the present stage of the industry power and speed are comparatively easy of attainment. Finer qualities, such as greater freedom from vibrations, greater freedom of operation and longer life. are now the absorbing problems or automobile engineers. Anything, consequently, 'nat purports to atrain these ends receives us due attention
 Our new method of crank case and crank shaft construction" says Harry NJ Jewett. president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car Company, was worked ouN and developed during the past three years when we were devoting most of our pro- auction facilities to war work. IL IS ex- clusively Paige idea among American made cars
 The principal -- idea is to attain strength, rigidity and stiffness in orscr to secure smoothnes of operation. The crank case is the foundation or housing of the crank shaft. In order to make 1t stiff and rigid the upper half of the case is cast integral with the cylinders, ths cylinder barrel cores acting as stiffners. The shaft is mouRted on three solid bear ings,
 An important factor in the method is the forging of the crank shaft in one op- eration, instead of twisting it after the forging. Greater stiffness and strength arc thus secured than if the shaft, after forging, had been twisted to place the pins in proper relation There is no dan yer in this method, of interfering with he logical flow of the grain of the
 metal and consequently there is less
 ,hance of fracture and greater durability. The method necessitates that each sec ion of the shaft be reproduced in the crm of model separately balanced so
 complete unit in model form, all sections
 ire uniformly balanced. After this is lone dies are made duplicating the model. This type of forging gives shaft which is balanced in such manner that the centrifugal forcas have tendency to throw themselves forward instead of outward At ordinary speeds, say from D to 50 miles an hour, there IS little or vibration, noticeable, and there is, onseuuent to this sfnoothness, less wear nd tear on bearings. greater economy # operation and longer life.

WHILE THE DOLLAR is CHEAP

! know a great many who read this
head line will say, 81 am glad that
something is cheap" There is more
money in the world than there used to
be--in gold, currency. and checks
the last doing the work of many dol
lars. But while the world is increasing
the number of dollars, it is producing
less goods that the dollar will buy.
When we take our dollar to the store
it only buys about one-third Of what
it used to buy. History does repeat
itself. What happened during the
Civil War, and after it, is almost pre-
cisely what is happening to US now.
This is an "era of false prosperity"
What must we do to meet the situa-
ton? There is one way, and only
one. That is, work more, produce
more, and save more. In the four
years that the men stood in the
trenches their governments at home
issued billions of dollars of new Sc
curity and currency, which divided the
purchasing power of the dollar. We
must not throw our dollars into lux
uries, for a REIMBURSEMENT some day,
sooner or later, will come. And the
loss to our country will be greater
than the cost of the war.

If Goltra decides to get into the
fight against James c. Jones, the st.

nounced his candidacy, it is said,
James J. Gallagher, former member
of the St. Louis House of Delegates,
will manage Goltra's campaign. Gal

campaign against Horace S. Rumsey
in 1916.
The first member of the Democratic
City Committee of St. Louis to de-

Ward Committeeman, who said the
eight delegates from his ward would
oppose Jones. The Fifth Ward, of

Michael Kinney is political chieftain,
also will be against Jones, it is known.

which led to the deposing of Sam A.
Lazarus as its president few weeks

Maj. Horace S. Rumsey, who was ele-

of Nations advocates compelled the
retirement of Lazarus, its founder, has
resigned.
Rumsey, in rendering his resigna-

GIVE THE PEOPLE THE TRUTH

In its issue of February IA the Sat
urday Evening Post announces an in
crease in subscription rates "to sub
scribers west of the Mississippi river"
to $3.50 year, while east of the Mis-
sissippi the price is to remain at 81
year.
This increase is based on the in
creased postage cost under the zone
system-and provides that the sub
scriber living west of the Mississippi
must pay for the longer haul on his
"reading matter"
The publishers of the Post express
their regret that they are compelled
to make higher rate to one class of
subscribers than to another class SIM
ply because they live in a different
part of the country, but they say they
have no alternative so long as the
postal laws impose zone rates on sec
ond class matter.
This announcement of the Saturday
Evening Post is an insult to the peo-
pie of the United States, who by their
patronage. have made the Post the
great periodical that it is. The pub
fishers of the Post deliberately state
that the subscriber is required to pay
increasingly higher rates of postage
on his reading matter, and that the av-
erage maximum rate will in 1921 be
about four times what it has been for
so years. 10 ''t naa'.'
The publishers of the Post know
that there is nothing in the zone law
that makes it cost them one cent more

to a subscriber whether he lives east
or west of the Mississippi, or whether
he lives in Trenton, N. j., or San
Francisco. They know that the sec
ond class rate on reading matter is
/ 1-2 cents a pound regardless of the
zone in which the subscriber lives.
They know that the zone rates do not
in any way apply to the reading mat
ter, but apply only to the advertising
which the Post carries.
The publishers of the Post know the
statements they have made are mis-
leading, and, whether deliberate or
not. it is a misstatement of fact that
may create in the minds of the public
a wrong impression as to the opera
tion of the zone law, and so create a
public demand for its repeal.
The readers of the Saturday Eve
ming Post do not buy the publication
because of the advertising which it
contains, and the publishers of the
Post know this, and it is on the adver-
Using pages only that the zone postage
rates are paid. The advertiser wants
his business announcement, to reach
the public, and he uses the columns
of the Saturday Evening Post for that
purpose, and because it is to his inter-,
est to do so.

force the readers to pay any of the
extra postage collected because of the
carrying of this advertising they are
