ACHIEVEMENT
Of OH STUTz
MOTOR UNIQUE
Rapid Acceleration and Hill.
Climbing Ability Are Note
worthy.

How the "D.H" motored Stutz,
with with it's fundamentally simple
engine, is able to offer all the power,
speed. rapid aCcelaration, hill-climb-
ing ability. smOothness at all driving
speeds as well as all other desirable
attributes Of operation formerly as
soCiated only with multi-cylinder
cars, without relying on any Of the
complications of design required by
these latter meChanisms, Is one of
the really significant achievements
of the year in the motorcar industry.
Many factors. of course, are re-
sponsible in greater or lesser degree
for these qualities. But no one fea.
ture of the OH motored Stutz is
pointed to as being accountable for
the superiority of the cars perform
ance more than is the refinement Of
the sixteen-valve principle as en-
bodied in the new Stutz power plant.
The Stutz Motor Car Company of
America, Inc, was one Of the first
American manufacturers to Compre-
hend the advantages which were TO
be gained by siXteen-valVe design
and has devoted itself to the i'm.
provement and development of this

longer period than any other build.

bility advantages, while securing an
advancement in performance ef'
fiCiency that is only approached by
sensitive multi-Cylinder meChaniSms.
The sixteen values of the Stutz
"D-H" engine are arranged in T.
head layout. two intake valves to the
right of each cylinder and two eX-
haust valves to the left. The com.
bined area Of each pair OF valves, OF
course, larger than would be prac.
tiCal with a single value. yet, in the
"D-H' engine both valves combined
are not as heavy as single large
valve of corresponding capacity.
This extreme lightness makes pos
sible high valve lift with almost un.
believable quietness of operation.
The valves are operated by two
cam-shafts, mounted one on either
side Of the Crankshaft on three
bronze bearings of extreme size. The
The tappets are mounted in support
ing brackets which are very easy to
remove.
Though the large valve areas the
gases rush with unrestricted aspeed.
The ideal conditions of intake and
exhaust velocity tend to sweep the
valve seats clean. This, in view Of
the complete combustion of the gas
charge and virtual elimination of
any unburned gasoline, combine
with the complete water cooling of
the valve seats, should make even
the grinding of valves a very rare
operation.

RAIL WORKERS

Demands of railway executives
that wages of their employees must
be reduced in proportion to the rate

merce Commission brought loud pro,
tests today from railroad labor lead,
srs here.
Formal requests of the carriers for
wage reductions ranging from 10 to
20 per cent are now being considered
by the Railroad Labor Board at Chi.
cago, but labor chiefs contend the
railroads must effect economies in
other directions after July | instead
Of depending upon wage slash to
bring down their expenses.
1t is not possible for the Labor
Board to order further reductions in
railroad wages" William IL. John
ston, president of the international
Association of MaChinists, declared
today. Even now, the average rail.
way worker does not make a decent
living wage, and if additional cuts
are made, anything is liable to hap
pen. The men are in an ugly frame
of mind"
Johnston agreed with members OF
the Commerce Commission that the
railroads would be able to make suf,
ficient profits under the new rate
schedules to yield a return of 5.7j
per cent on the fixed value of their
properties.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion declined to express an opinion as
to what rates of pay should be. but
pointed out that the present wages
of railway workers are far above the
prewar level and recognized the con-
nection between necessary revenues
and present relatively high operating
expenses"
