NEW DEVICE INCREASES
ECONOMY OF PREMIER

srhe Premier's aluminium motor has
always been economical In the amount
of gasoIine it consumes. but this year
a new invention OF our chief engineer
makes the car unique in this regard"
said George J. Donahue, president of the
Donahue Motors Corporation, the local
Premier dealers. yesterday, at the show.
This invention Is the Nelson vapor-
izer, designed by A. L. Nelson, who
ALSO is responsible for the aluminium
motor. the only one of that metal used
in an American car. Mr.. Nelson Is also
the inventor of the Nelson machine gun.
The vaporizer, which Is located on the
side of the cylinder block. uses the
exhaust gas of the motor to vaporize
or dry out the incoming gas from the
carburetor. The result is that the
Premier. with its light motor. Is able
to make twenty-for miles to the gal
Ion of gasoline. The manufacturer
guarantee this as a consistent perform
ance.
~In the matter OF bodies. the Premier
Is as distinctive as in motors. We are
particularly proud of our latest model,
the brougham. This car. accommodating
five with more than comfort, as regards
space, and with real luxury as regards
upholstery and coachwork, Is the product
OF expert workmanship carried out upon
the best of materials. The car Is by
actual test one of the most economical
in the use of gasoline, oil and tires. OF

VALVE-lN-HEAD MOTOR
INTRODUCED IN 1902

The present day popularity of valve
in-head motor construction brings to
mind. the fact that this. development in
automotive design is not of recent orr
gin, but dates back to 1902. when the
Franklin Automobile. Company pio-
neered this type and introduced II for
the first time.
The 1902 Franklin cars equipped with
the valve-in-head motor were the sub
ject of much comment. but il was not

Gain. wiped out at Close.

Early gains were practically all
wiped out in the reactionary last hour
of yesterdays stock market. The reasons
for the sudden influx of selling orders
were not apparent and brokerage houses
generally had not changed their opinion
that II was not the time to sell stocks.
1t is true that there was considerable
realizing by those who did not care to
wait to take profits they have seen
mounting over a rather lengthy period.
Another angle OF the situation was
found In the explanation OF commits
sion house, which pointed out that many
of its customers, who had unusually
good profits in some OF the stocks that
house had been persistently bulling. had
put stop loss orders Just under the mar
ket in them and had moved those orders
up as the market advanced. thus as
suring themselves OF most Of their profit
at all times. In markets as broad and
active and with such wide fluctuations
as yesterdays a stop loss order. at all
near the market. is apt to be caught,
and It was reported by that house that
many of it's customers were sold out In
that manner.

Consolidated Gas.

The Consolidated Gas Company's
shares have usurped the position oc-
cupied for many weeks two years ago
by Reading. 1t has become fashion
able in Wall Street now to buy Gas
every Monday morning on the theory
that a favorable decision of the Su-
preme Court on the pending rate case
may be made during the day and cause
the stock to advance sharply. In the
cid days when the Reading case was
before the high tribunal traders bought
Reading every Monday morning and,
when no decision was annouced,
promptly sold 1t again. The result was
always sharp rise in the morning
and a corresponding sharp decline after
court adjourned and usually. notwith-
standing tieset wide fluctuations, net
changes on the day were small. Con-
solidated Gas advanced yesterday
nearly four points above 9S. yet when
the court failed to make any decision
on the rate case, all the stock bought
in the morning was sold and the days
net change was a decline Of only -
point.

years before the Santa Fe Railroad com

clared w. b. Storey, president of the

remarks were occasioned by printed re-
ports that the road planned to double
track its system between Chicago and
California by the end of 1928. Con-

timately be necessary as business of the
country develops to double track to the
coast. but we have no definite plans for
completion and I do not think this will

quotations are at the bottom of the re-

quoting 12& cents pound. although
last week they were asking 1874, and
only few of them reached as low as

Texas and Pacific Rumor Denied.

Reports that plans for the consolida-

Missouri Pacific Railroads were under
way were denied yesterday by a New
York man who serves in the director
ates of both roads. He expressed the
belief that John L. Lancaster. receiver
OF the Texas and Pacific. had been mis-
understood and misquoted in El Paso
dispatches stating that that road would
soon be taken out of receivership. AL
though plans for It's reorganization are
receiving consideration, they have not
been reduced to writing, according to
the director. Furthermore, It is con-
sidered extremely unlikely that such a
plan can be completed before the final
settlement of appeals which have been
taken from last summers decision re-
specting the roads financial relations
with the Missouri Pacific.
