New Oakland Is Called Silent

The new Oakland 6-44 models have been termed the Silent Oakland" by thousands of those who have pur- chased these new models
 Every feature Of these new models has been designed with the view of obtaining just this silence. It is de- clared that noise in automobiles is caused by just two things, the rub ping together or friction of two metals, and il1-fitting parts. Conse- quently, silence indicates the absence of these two annoying causes or per fectly-fitting, perfectly-working me chanism.
 The use of the adjustable silent Morse chain in place of timing gears is a most important change in the motor. It is of the latest type and highest class for this purpose The Morse chain drives the camshaft and generator.
 The cylinders are accurately bored and machined. Then they are honed to perfect smoothness. This process unique with Oakland, consists of honing stones revolving as they move slowly up and down within the cylin- der walls, giving perfect wall finish.

Motors Have
 ~ Own Language

If you would learn the language of the automobile, let your motor talk to you my means of it's own private telephone exchange.
 It can be done. Every car is equipped with an instrument to trans init its own voice, an instrument as old as automobiles, and as much needed as gasoline.
 The gear shifting lever is the tele- phone On your car. You have prob ably never used it for any other pur- pose than changing speeds
 Picture an immense room, perhaps space occupied by the Maxwell Motor Corporation in their Detroit factory. There are long lanes of wooden stands on which are mounted several hun dred gasoline motors, each running under it's own power at a speed that would drive car about 30 miles per hour. They run this way for hours eight, ten, sometimes longer. The roar in the brick-walled room is con stant and all-enYe1oping. In here the human voice must be pitched at just the right note even to be dis tinguished above the motor-tumult.
 The perfect motor is dintinguished ed by low, almost musical humming. Foreign noises, however slight, are indicative of improper adjustment. Before any motor can pass the edu- cated ear of the inspector it must be in perfect voice without trace of com plaint

New Standard
 Eight Features

Standard Motor Car Company Inc, of Pittsburgh, has brought out new series Of the Standard Eight, desig- mated as the Sterling model. Types included in the new series are the four and seven passenger touring car, the roadster, the. coupe, sedanette' sedan and vestibu1e sedan.
 Improved lines and qualities of 1uxurfousness in riding are embodied in the new Sterling Standard. An other important feature is the air plane system of motor fabrication. : "This airplane system, developed during the hectic days of aircraft en- couners over the battle Hnes.' said Don c. McCord, president and general manager, 'is exclusively a Standard feature.
 It eliminates the ha1f-fl1ed crank case, all oil being supplied to cylin- ders, pistons and internal mechan- ism. by a suction feed pipe leading from an oil reservoir entirely apart from teh engine itself. Oil is drawn in throuhg one pipe. dfstribu uted by force of a simple gear pump, returned to the reservoir, cooled and filtered, before it again makes a forced circuit through the motor.

CHAMPAGNE DRUG IN

fault lies chiefly with the Partisan

Ordinary wine may not add the

Il Is far more within the reach OF
the customary client at a time when
champagne retails at anywhere from
60 to 100 francs a bottle. according
to the brand and the locality in
which II is consumed.
An INFERIOR brand OF so-calied
champagne may be had at from 30
to 40 francs a bottle, but there is
almost no market for this. 1t being
noticed that the client who will
spend this amount prefers to have
the real thing.
The export of champagne has al
