The Chevrolet yalVc-in-hcad motor is famous
Tor is power and economy.
These are the result OF simplicity in its con-
s,ru;tion. There are no side valve chambers
as in other types in which much OF the force
oi combustion is wasted and dead gases stored
NJ.
In the valve -in-hcal motor. fuel is introduced
directly into the piston chamber and confined
there. Combustion takes place directly over
the piston head, which receives the full down
ward force oi the blow. The result is more
power with less gasoline consumption and a
wider range OF control.
The cylinder head is easily removed, permit

 "Buenos Aires is not merely the capital and chief port of a South American republic. It is world cen ter-a city of superlatives, contrasts, and paradoxes.
 Its population of close to 100000 makes it by wide margin the metro polls of South America and the South ern hemisphere. It is the greatest of Spanish speaking cities, having nearly three times as many inhabitants as Madrid. It is greater than all Latin cities except Paris.

MT. Chamberlain in reply to a ques- tion as to the effect of the ad valorem duty on imported cigars shows how cas- fly some forms of heavy taxation may defeat their own object. or the first ten months of the year 1s1s-1920 the receipts from the duty were fS11.7 in the cor responding period of 1920-1921 they had fallen to f313,300. We need not sympa- thise too much with the cigar smokers who have had abstinence imposed on them, but 1t is hard in the growers of the finer leaf, who are suffering from sense of real grievance. MT.

PHILIPPINE CONDITIONS.

As has been stated by Secretary Weeks of the war department the sending of General Wood and Cameron Forbes, for mer governor general of the islands, to the Philippines is for the purpose of in- forming the administration regarding conditions there and as to whether the Filipinos have progressed to the point where, in tlseir opinion, they are ready for independence. l1o4 ISL z75l0 sf
 This country has taken the stand that the Filipinos should have their freedom just as soon as they are ready to ad- minister their own affairs and safeguard the interests of the islands. Strong ef- forts have been made on the part of the islanders for a long time to be cast of from this government. They have been i given an increased measure of self gov ernment from tirae to time and according to the last adnalnisttation itSwag believed that they #eseztos be cast adf4ft: : z There are those who have been, ant ] continue to be, in close touch with the opinion Having done so much for tht Filipinos this country has taken the stand that it would not be wise to remove oul guardianship and permit them to drif into chaos and trouble that would mear the waste of all that had been done ant call for going over the same ground ] again because Of premature relinquish

TROUBLE AYERTED.

Cause for qualification far outside of the circle of those directly concerned is furnished by the agreement which has been reached between the packers and their employees. There was time when the dispute reached menacing proportions lIasmueh as a threatend strike among the .mployes of the packers would have meant the interruption of the flow of such foods supplies as the packers distribute and upon which the public at large place so much dependence While it meant se- Iious business interruption and a cutting off of wages to large number there was ,-,e much more serious trouble of cutting own the food supply of the nation. It was a case where the consuming public would have had to bear the brunt of the hardships and to which little considera- ton was apparently being shown,
 By reaching an agreement that danger has been eliminated It has been found that the employer and employe could gel together, study the facts and come to g sane solution of the difficulty. This has been shown by the agreement which has 1 been reached in, which certain of the con. tentions of each side have been accept ed and will be respected. A reduction il
 
 wages, such as the packers announced will be continued, the reasonableness O l them, having been. admitted and follow | ing a six months period the war-tin agreement will be terminated
 There has been an excellent demon stration. however, of the advantages 0 arbitration in connection with the dis pute that arose between the packers an their employees How much preferable was to a strike with alI +lc hardship and losses that would have acconranie ii, -and the possibility that no better un derstanding would have been reached af ter the period of trouble

any other large, fierce fish. There is nothing particularly satisfying in this because 1t has not been determined with how much zest and appetite other large and fierce fish will attack a man, says the Kansas City Star.
 One inference that might be drawn from this is that sharks are gentle and harmless and might be turned into household pets. The best evidence is that the shark is a 'man-eater and that he will attack and eat anything that is fish-horse, COW, fish, dog, seal or man. He will eat flesh if 1t has been dead long time, and he will eat it alive.
 There are many families and varie- | ties of the shark. Some of these fami- lies are smaller. more. cowardly and less successful as killers than other families. They are not especially fierce | toward things that are bigger and | stronger than they. The dusky sharks and the sand sharks are not believed to be man-killers, but they are man. eaters when the opportunity arrives. | The largest and fiercest shark Is the | great white shark His disposition is
 to kill and eat and he is so large and

When Governor Lake at the request of the committee named by him to consider the proposal of the New England rail- roads for temporary increases in freight and Yassenger rates calls a public hear ing for next Monday at the state capitol it is move in the interest of publicity and affords an opportunity not only for providing the committee with facts which n seeks but for all who are interested in such . matter to give expression to their Ideas.
 The railroads have asked for approval n carrying out a plan that would give them sufficient revenue to meet require nents provided there was no falling off h business. The proposition has been under discussion for some days. There appears to be considerable opposition to the idea of increasing rates. There is strong sentiment to the effect that higher rates would E as instrumental in defeat hg the object sought as the last general Increase in railroad rates throughout the eountry was, and therefore it would make ronditi0ns worse instead of better Hear hgs which have been held in Boston bJ he joint committee of the New England rafes have disclosed the feeling that the relief should be secured in another man.

HIGHWAY SAFETY

Philadelphia has brought many to the bar of justice and imposed heavy sen- tences for the results of reckless driving h It's streets. It has even sent to prison and heavily fined a judge who while driving his car and under the influence of hquor knocked down and caused the death pf a woman, the second fatality for which he was responsible.
 But regardless of what has been done, and the indignation that cannot fail to prevail wherever there is a needless waste of fife through the lack of safety in the highways. fhere continues to be reck- lessness winch calls for even greater at- tention and better enforcement of the law. Apparently Philadelphia and other cities h Pennsylvania do not lack for laws un- der which the guilty can be properly prosecuted provided those who are guilty are located and brought to justice.
 With seven persons killed in a week the superintendent of police is moved tc ask for the cooperation of the public in putting an end to such a bloody car. nage." That there is an opportunity fol public sentiment to take a part seems probable It can make it manifest that there is a demand for the elimination o- the reckless driver through adeuuat, Dmishment for the violation of speed laws and highway regulations. It can dt something in the way of bringing tn, breaking of the laws by such people tt the attention of the authorities and i can impress upon the authorities tha something more than warnings and slap nn the wrist for those who disregard safe y Is expected.
 Al the same time 1t cannot be too thor cughly impressed upon the minds Of tn automobile drivers, particularly thos who are numbered in the reckless clas that the laws are established and regula tons adopted to be respected. Certaf of the Philadelphia authorities apparent ly believe that If those who are guilt of creating the highway menace are mad to feel the teeth of the law, condition Will improve, and there is no doubt tha lEw enforcement and an effort oh the pa1 cf the drivers to obey the law will elimi hAts c large percentage of the fatalitie, WeEA1ng for greater safety is certainly psMnendahle effort.
