OPPELN, Upper Silesia, May 13.-
Unrestrained terrorism in Upper ST.
lesia was feared today. Polish TO-
lowers of Adalbert Korfanty, lack
ing supplies and funds, are getting
out of control.
Thus far the Poles have acted as
organized military bands. If not
held under control, it was feared a
reign of outlawry would be insti-
tuted.
A general strike Of German work
ers became effective here following
a German protest to General Lerond,
French commandant / over French
unfairness."
Lerond was asked by the German
p1ebiscite representative to tell the
truth regarding Polish claims that an
armistice has been arranged with the
Poles retaining possession of three
quarters of Upper Silesia.
Its a swindle," Lerond declared.
mo such armistice has been ar
ranged"

terday.
1t was believed here that even if a
general armistice has not been or
dered by the French, a truce has
been declared in various localities,
such as KrueZberg.
Italian forces have refused to agree
to a truce but have been arming Ger
man irregulars with rifles and light
artillery. A force of Italians and
Germans yesterday drove 1000 Poles
from Rosenberg, capturing a number
of machine guns in the attack.
German officials showed their an
ger toward the French whom they
charge with unfairness, and toward
the British.
The general strike here was be-
lieved to be an Indication of the ris-
ing temper of the citizens and posi-
bly, warning of worse difficulties to
come. The city now is without gas.

 KEEN FOR EASY
 RIDING QUALITY

The automobile buying public often speculates on why accessory max CTS appear to concentrate upon the man ufacture of an attachment so de- signed that it can be used only upon one make of car.
 While the number of cars Of cer- tain make in use by the public plays a part in determining the design or dn attachment, it is often found that the manufacturer of an accessory is able to interest capital in his invention only because he believes that 1t sup plies a feature which the manofac- turer has neglected.
 Probably one of the most moot questions among automobile owners today is that of riding comfort. The public will never be quite satisfied with the automobile until it can ride along uneven roads with no more dis comfort than that of "rock-a-b bye baby on a tree top" just previous to the time that the wind came up and baby and all" had it's memorable fall
 Upon this problem of ''easy riding the best engineering brains of tliC country have been centered. And a. result all manner of shock absorber:

absorbers of less costly design and material have been put forth. But to date no inventor has had the temerity to suggest a shock absorber for own CTS of the Overland model 4. the car which is made with the exclusive tripIex spring attachment, according to H. H. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company.
 "The Overland spring design Is such that the springs do not parallel the body" he says. ''They are set to the axles at tangent with the re- suit that the cars spring base is longer than it's wheel base. The car, therefore, is cradled upon springs which receive the jolts obliquely in stead of full on.
 At this time approximately 15O,- 900 of the new Overlands are in use, yet in all the reports of the perform ance and equipment of these cars never has it been reported that an owner had attached a shock absorber On the other hand the evidence is overwhelming that the Overland's en- gineers found the ideal comfort in a light car when they designed the triplex spring.

TOLEDO. Ohio, Sept. 17-(SpeciaD How are the reductions in automo- bile prices being brought about?
 With prices in many industries undergoing a treatment such as that sustained by the historic undershirt whose owner protested that his mother did not use wool soap, it is interesting to learn just how the shrinking process is carried out.
 In the main, according to leading manufacturers. the reductions are possible because of lower costs of raw material and lower labor costs. At the same time, there is a renewed activity among motor manufactur- CTS and their engineering staffs to work out new construction principles which will permit of even greater simplicity in the modern motor car.
 It is argued thai the fewer the parts the less cost and it is also being more generally recognized that the fewer the parts the lesser lia- bility for trouble to the owner with a resultant increase in reputation for the car and an increased sale. The greater the sales, the greater the production and the greater the pro- duction the lower the cost of pro- ducing each car.
 The Willys- Overland company manufacturers of the Willys- Knight motor car, are among those manu- 1 lecturers who are not forced to des- perate eforts toward simplicity of de- sign.
 l The Willys- Knight car is motorec with the famous sleeve-valve motoi which, although of American design won first recognition in the famous Minerva, Panhard and Daimler cars of Europe.

SAYS HEADL|GHT LAWS VIOLATED

SACRAMENTO. Sept. 17.-(Spe- c!al. .)-Automobile dealers of Cali fornia have a great beneficial work to do in personally administering sound advice to buyers of new cars relative to lights that are legal. This is according to Supt, c, J. Chenu or the state motor vehicle department
 There are two conditions relative to lights that Chenu urges the dcal- CTS to give their personal attention to- They are, first, the practice of placing red lights upon the front Of cars, and, second, permitting buyers to go away with lenses which do not comply with the law.
 Tt has grown common of late, said Chenu, for some owners to ex- hibit little red and green lights from the front of their cars This is not illegal. I am sorry to say, because an amendment to the state motor vehicle law prohibiting this was defeated when the entire bill was lost because of differences between the highway commission and the automobile clubs.
 Tt is a most dangerous practice 10 display red lights from the front end of the car, because in some dark roais driver might be led to think the front of the car is the rear, etc. There IldllE MdNS lnlS lS tAOASs N1 all that can be done is for the deal CTS to caution car owners about 1t, and by a sense of decency have the practice abolished"
 If the dealers of California have not sufficient regard for their own regulations they should have for the | safety of their customers" declared | Chenu. ''TLey are not showing the right spirit when they permit man | to buy a car equipped with illegal 1 lenses. and let him go away with Il liable to arrest the minute he turns | the lighting switch"

MAKERS NIT SACRIFICING
 QUALITY TO LOWER COST

may be said to comprise in general way, cylinders in which the gas ex- plosions take place, and the pistons which receive and transmit the power of the explosions to the crankshaft- The complexities of the motor lie in the electric system, which must give off sparks at regular intervals in each cylinder. and in the valve sys- tenn.
 In the poppet-valve motor, push rods operated from a cam shaft must push a valve stem thus raising the valve head to permit the thrush of gas or the outlet of burned gases. With springs, valve stems, push rods. cams, etc, it is obvious that the valve arrangement is anything but simple There are many moving parts with consequence of opportunity for wear, noise and misadjustment at many points.
 The Knight motor. however. does away with most of these nov ing parts Two cylindrical sleeves within the cylinder move upward and downward impelled by an eccentric shaft. Slots or ports in their sides permit the fresh gas to enter and burned gas to leave the cylinder. They and they alone play the major part in the success of the Knight | type motor because carbon cannot l gather except where needed for the better efficiency of the motor. It is because of their simple and true de- sign that it has been fully estab- lished by thousands of owners that
 the Willys-Knight motor improves with use.
 To the motorist who has never seen a Willys Knight motor. study of
 this simple yet ideal construction will
 prove most Illuminating.

TIGHT MARKET |S INCREASING SALE
 IF APPERSONS

Tn these days of practical econ omy, when everyone is turning over the dollar several times before buy ing, it is very gratifying to report the really brisk demand there is for the Apperson,' reports T. F. Jarrard, vice president of the Apperson Bros. Automobile company, Kokomo, Ind.
 "A tight market induces every buyer to look every piece of mer- chandise over carefully. This is be- coming more and mere true with automobiles.
 ''The principle of the eight with 80 less parts is the specific economy feature the public are looking into While the basic design of the Ap- person motor is of the eight cylin- der type in reality it is two simple four cylinder motors merged at the base. Thus you get eight cylinder smoothness in addition to four cylin- der economy. As no other motor is so designed this engineering achieve ment is becoming more and more known to the public and as a result great many new buyers of Apper- sons will have no other car"
 Also the fact that the Apperson | is built complete in its own plant i insures greater value and finer con struction. These big facts coupled
 with our recent price reductions are developing an excellent demand fol the highly regarded lines of Apper- l son motor cars"

Coolidge Springs
 Good Auto Yarn

From faroff Boston comes a story about the nations second most im- portant executive. It is. of course, an automobile story and it throws an amusing sideiight on the charac- ter of this truly great man.
 The ''story" regarding Coolidge is featured in the current issue of the Oldsmobile Pacemaker, the national publication of the Olds Motor Works. The first and only car that Vice President Calvin Coolidge ever owned is an Oldsmobile. which he purchased while he was governor of Massachusetts His first motoring experience in this car Is both inter esting and amusing and is still talked of in Bostor- motor circles when his name is mentioned
 While learning to drive he stalled his motor on a busy corner. A crowd soon collected. larger in numbers than the ordinary crowd. because even at that time Coolidge was Massachusetts foremost citizen.
 New at driving, the vice-president could not get the car started. There was a moment of embarrassing from the crowd paraphrased Coolidge's campaign slogan. which was. Have faith ir. ssachusetts.' to Have faith in the Oldsmobile Cal"
 A big smile curved the lips of ths executive while his friend stepped on the starter and taking the wheel shot him out of the heavy traffic zone It is characteristic of the man to keep his head at all times and to rely on a ready sense of humol to extricate himself from trying sit nations.

MOTORISTS ARE . CAUTIONED ID
 WATCH WHEELS

Watch your wheels" is an admo- nition given to motorists by the ser vice department of the SpreckeIs "Savagev Tire company. Careful attention should be given to wheel alignment Many miles of tire ser "out of true" This -parallelism or faulty alignment of the wheels may have been caused by an acci- dent, improper adjustment of steer ing apparatus. or by hitting the curbstone diagonally. Tires used on wheels in this condition do not re- volve straight forward as they should, but rather slide over the ground diagonally. the sidewise mo- ton thus continually grinding off rubber from the tread. The effect is the same as though the tire were held against an emery wheel and slowly turned so as to grind down the tread on the entire surface.
 A toe-in of a quarter of an inch should be allowed on the front wheels. This is to neutralize their tendency to spread while in motion. The true running qualities of each stationary point close to the wood felloe of the wheel. The distance between the point and the felloe should be uniform when the wheel is revolving. Otherwise it is out of alignment. The result of wheel misalignment can usually be detected by the appearance of the tread. which Is worn down on one side and shows a sharp shoulder.
 Whenever the motorist has reason to believe that the wheels on his machine are not running true, he should have them tested. If it is found that they are out of alignment. the condition should be corrected
 without delay. Neglect to do so will prove costly. according to the Savage bulletin on the subject.
