MANIFOLD DESIGN AIDS IMPORTATION
 IN THE PAIGE CAR

A recognized factor in the operation of gasoline-driven engines is the fact that fuel must be as completely vaporized as possible. The finer the particles of fuel the more complete and efficient the pro- cess of combustion necessary to motivate the cylinders.
 After three years of intensive work inc Paige engineers developed new power plant with many features that mark a measurable advance, says Harry M. Jewett president of the Paige Detroit Motor Car Company. and not the least important of these IS the de- sign and arrangement of the intake ana exhaust manifolds that greatly increases the degree of vaporiZation of gasoline
 .sWhen gasoline enters the intake mani- fold from the carbur etor it is mixed with air and broken up into particles. Enter- ing in a chilled state, these particuies are rot sufficiently fine to result Tn as hlgh degree of vaporization as IS deslrapie.

GOLDEN WEST HEADS SALES RECORDS FOR
 AUTO SHOW WEEK

The golden west carried off the sales record for automobile show week, according to the telegraphic report just received from the California Mar mon distributor, the Al. c. Faulkner Company, who sold eighty-nine new series Marmon~34 cars at retail during the San Francisco show week. totally eclipsing the phenominal records set up at the Chicago and New York auto mobile shows.
 This is an indication of the demand the dealer in quality motor cars can expect from this nation. The unusual sales records set up first at the New York show in January where thirty eight Marmons were sold at retail and later at Chicago where seventy -one cars were sold at retail are very much surpassed and San Francisco with eighty nine retail sales made during the week of its show is in the lead and proves that the unusual demand for the cars is nation wide.
 The fact that all this, in advance of the active sellf seasot also shows that the demand for cars is still far ahead of production. Such records will give added confidence not only tN automobile dealers but to dealers in all sorts of quality commodities and con vince the mar/facturers that they were not unduly optimistic in increas- ing their facilities and production as greatly as Shey have. In other words, the insistent demand for increased pro- duction was sane and Ievel-headed These sales records totally eclipse all previous retail selling records for au- tomobile shows, and forecast the greatest selling year of history.

Tn commenting on the Dyer bill which recently passed Congress and is aimed against the tkievery of automobiles, w.. Eugene Turton, president of the Asso- ciated Clubs and A. A. U. legislation com- mittee said:

ask your consideration of the fact
that the Stock Exchange did not under
take the problem Of working out this

because of the insistcnt demands of
the New York banks that began about

themselves, largo part of what the

Tor them, particularly as regards the

1T is only because Of the knowledge
on the part of these institutions that
a committee Of the Stock Exchange
has been earnestly at work for over
