It was under these conditions the
new Marmon high efficiency motor
was built.
The net result is that we are en-
abled to present to you motor car

fine workmanship that will bear the
same relation to the finest thand-ftted
cars thatthe American aircraft motor
-whichwas admittedgenerally
the best in the world-bore to the
fitted, handmade motors of
our allies.
We have added new meaning to
the word motor car performance"

familiar with the exceptional per-

appreciate the full significance ofthis
statement. There is new sweetness
drumming, new freedom from the
unpleasant vibrations and motordis-
turbances of the past, new result
which only a demonstradonwillreal-

These results were accomplished
by no mysterious alchemy, but bya
practical application of the great les
sons we learned in building aircraft

Before you buy any car, you owe
it to yourself to see the new series

I'VE don't want any boys around this
garage" growled Mr.. Tompkins of the
Standard Motor Company. they are
just as likely as not to run one OF
the cars away or take off half the
engine to see what the other half
looks like"
What boy did you say did that
inquired Mr.. Peyton as he stepped into
his seven-passenger machine.
"None. we never gave one a chance.
Perhaps Mr.. Tompkins was right
and again perhaps he wasn't. Never
theleSS. there are a whole lot of boys
the boys that will some day be the
engineers and managers of the coun-
try's industries-who know much more
about engines. mechanics and motors
than the very men who own and drive
q the cars. Such boys are the ones who
should look for work Around tho
Garage"
Different Things to Do.
1t may be a business of washing reg
ularly the machines in the different
private garages of the neighborhood;
it may be keeping the garages in
order: it may be tending to the gaso-
plenty to be done. Such jobs make a
boy a friend of car so that before
long he becomes competent to make
minor repairs and thus gradually
learn about the motor.
What One Fellow Did.
Mr.. Peyton. the man who was not
skeptical about boys. had tried one.
Harry jackson lived on side street a
Iew blocks back from the Peyton resi-
dence. Two summers before, when on
warm evenings Mr.. Peyton would be
tinkering around the garage. Harry

ARGENTINA EXPECTING

BUENOS AIRES, December 20 (by

looking forward to a year of great
PROSPERITY, as there is world de-
mand for this country's food products
and raw materials, such as meat, ce-
reals, linseed. hides. wool and medic

the latter part of the last six months
have been measured only by the ca
pacity and number of ships able to
transport products to Europe and
North America and exports for the
whole year have been much in excess
Of those in 1918. Corn exports were
nearly quadrupled and it is expected
that foreign traffic next year will eX-
ceed all records.
Profits by Drop in Exchange Rates.

however, that the fall in European
exchange rates will mitigate against
the movement of exports, Argentine
business interests are anxious for a
