PY0R RhE A
Can Now Be
POSITIVELY
CURED

To the Person with a foul
breath, loose teeth, bleeding
gums and bad health, this
should be mighty good news.
If the public knew how
many serious health troubles
came from pyorrhea, more
attention would be given to
this condition. Until recent
months there was no cure for
pyorrhea. Now there is a
cure; so, if your teeth are
loose, call and we will make
them grow in so tight that
a dentist would have trouble
in pulling them out. The eff
feet of this treatment is alb
solutely safe, sure and posi-
.tive-so you need have no
fear as to the result. No
charge for consultation.

not be perfectly content to live in

This is something for motorists

PAYMENT
PLAN WINS
MANY
Families of Moderate Means
Are Buying Now in
Great Numbers

Families Of moderate or limited
means, who heretofore hesitated
about purchasing cars, are coming
into the automobile buying field
in greater numbers than ever be.
fore, IL records of the Ford Motor
Company's weekly purchase plan
may be taken as an indication.
( The plan, launched not quite two
years ago, was started chiefly to
give such people an opportunity to
enjoy the benefits and pleasures Of
motor cor transportation; and those
taking advantage OF it are growing
in numbers every day. 1t is simple,
the prospective purchaser making
weekly payments Of an amount best
suited to his individual means, these
payments becoming part of bank
account until such time as the pur-
chaser has a sufficient sum to take
delivery of his car.
Details of the operation of the
plan, as just given out by the COM
panys show that from a compare.
lively few daily enrollments during
the first month, the number has
steadily risen until now more than
700 people are enrolling every day
throughout the country, a rather
remarkable public endorsement Of
the plan.
The records also show that there
are at present more than 10000
persons on the weekly purchase
plan roll and that more than 1885,.

Warrington, that the first ship

six would be made to us very short
ly.
ever since the first announce
ment in January that c. Harold
Wills was going to introduce
new six we have been beseiged with
requests for literature and demon
strations, and hundreds of people,
in the past two and half months
have visited the salesrooms for the
purpose of seeing the new car.
Interest Widespread.
I'm all my experience in the au-
tonobile business have never
seen such a widespread interest IN
a new car. This is due, no doubt,
to the fact that Mr.. Wills, Its de-
ei1ner anioys a worldwide reput:l-
fion as one of the foremost engi-
neers and metallurgists; and because
of the general knowledge that the
new six would be lower in price
than the well-known eight-cylinder
car which was introduced in 1921.
while the new six Is lower =
price than the eight cylinder, II
ia not one of the so-called small,
cheap cars. The new Wills-Sainte
Claire six is built with the infinite
regard for detail and with the
same precision tools; its limits are
held to the same close limits as
those which have caused the Wills
Sainte Claire eight to be known
as the most finely engineered and
thoroughly built car in either Eu-
rope or America.
Quality Throughout.
1.-The new six IS a quality car
throughout, emhodying those same
engineering principles which have
been proved by hundreds and hun
dreds of thousands Of miles on
the speedometers or the thousands
Of Wills-Sainte Claire Fights in
every section of the country.

preparations for the first showing

lions it will receive the warmest
reception which has ever been &C

Annual Meeting Shows Com
pany to Be in Fine
Financial Shape

J. l. Farley, president of the
Auburn Automobile Company, was
reelected president OF this organiza-
ton at the annual stockholders
meeting held in Auburn recently.
During the meeting Mr.. Farley gave
a review of the past years opera
tions in which he reported business
at the close of the year as the
most satisfactory since 1920. Finan-
cially the company is in fine con-
dition.
In forecasting the coming years
activities, E. L. Cord, the vice presi-
dent and general manager, gave an
encouraging report as to the in
creased interest in the Auburn line
by dealers, new prospects and the
large number of new contracts
closed with new dealers this year.
At the Chicago show prospects in
excess Of 900 asked for demonstra-
lions and more dealer prospects
took up the Auburn line than any
year since 1920. AT the New York
show the Auburn line attracted at.
tention. Many new contracts were
closed for the New York territory
for all models shown. The eight-in-
line proved a revelation in the field
of automobile building and was en-
Enthusiastically viewed by dealers and
the public.
Following these reports the cleo.
ton Of the board OF directors was
held, J. I. Farley and E. L. Cord,
of Auburn; Ralph II. Bard and
F. B. Hitchcock, OF Chicago, and
J. H. Rose, of Fort Wayne, being
named. The following officers were
elected to serve the coming year:
President, J. I. Farley; vice presi-
dent and treasurer, E. l.. Cord; as
sistant treasurer, 3. o. Snepp; secre'
tary, J. H. Rose, and assistant Sec
rotary, H. G. Hersh.

Automotive engineers know as
well as anyone else the shortcom-
ings OF the average automobile, but
the problem is to make improve
ments without creating greater prob.
lens.
Even when the seIf-starter was
first thought OF there were some
basic objections. A manufacturer
could always count on the drivers
elbow power for the cranking proc.
ess, but the use OF the self-starter
necessitated constant battery energy
which, In turn, was dependent upon
q generator, the efficiency OF a cut
out device to prevent discharge Of
battery current into the generator
at low car speeds and the willing
ness OF the driver to take care of
all these new features. 1t so hap
pened that the car owner preferred
q little more responsibility to the
agony Of q broken arm, and so the
electric seif-stafter came into vogue.
Had the danger and annoyance
Of hand cranking not been so great,
many believe the eelf-starter would
have been q long time coming, for
the reason that the care required
Of the newer electrical equipment
might have been regarded as a
greater nuisance. In these days OF
. virtually trouble-proof self-starting
system 1t Is q bit difficult to APP
preciate this, but the situation is
less surprising when one recalls
that the early self-starters were
troublesome. Batteries were no.
where near as dependable as they
are today, and generators were al
ways giving trouble.
Reason for Every Omission.
This sheds some light on the rea-
6on why many improvements are
not being made at the present time.
Engineers and manufacturers do
not care to risk the possibility OF
giving the public more trouble by
compiicating operation. There is q
definite reason for every omission
in car design and equipment.
1t has taken q long time for q
mere handful Of manufacturers to
place on the instrument board even
the simplest form Of carburetor con-
troll, and the average motorist has
been plainly puzzled. he has always
considered . handy carburetor con-
troll as an excellent way to get max

and fully occupied when at the
wheel in handling the gears. the
clutch, the choke, the spark, the
throttle, etc.
Since semiautomatic spark adj
vance first made its appearance
many motorists have wondered why
it hasn't become standard equip
ment on all cars. Spark controls
are of three varieties. There is the
hand-control kind, the semiauto'
matte advance and the automatic.
The automatic eliminates driver in
competency and is thus favored by
some car makers as the ideal for
practical purposes. The hand con-
troll is adequate. and can be used to
get interesting results from the
engine, but 1t admits of varieties OF
damage through human error. The
idea OF semiautomatic advance is
that when the oar travels at a
certain speed a sort of governor
action in the distributor automati-
cally advances the spark. beyond the
point possible with normally adj
justed hand control
Needs Capable Driver.
Obviously the semiautomatic type
has an advantage over the other
types in that it can be used to give
a wider variety of results, but that
is just what many manufacturers
fear and it explains why this type
of ignition control is appearing first
on cars that are to go into the
hands Of a more competent type OF
owner. Because it is possible to
crank the engine without fear of
backfire with the hand control fully
advanced and because the spark
control is left in the advanced posi-
ton for normal running, there is
tendency to forget to retard the
spark If the engine starts knocking
on a hill. A knock is likely to be
heard if the car is driven over

thirtysfive miles an hour on steep
grade unless the hand control is
retarded a little.
Knocks from a too Tar advanced
spark cause piston pin and connect
ing rod bearing wear, which is
reason enough for stepping lightly
into the newer type of ignition con-
troll. Furthermore, every manufac
turer clings to the hope that per-
haps if he waits a little longer an
even better idea will come to light.
There Is a good reason behind
every manufacturer refusal to
adopt an improvement, and by I'm

sides, with so many people just
learning how to drive. a carburetor
control on the instrument board
would be merely something else to
confuse the driver.
Must Study Market.
A manufacturer has to study his
market very carefully before adopt
ing an Improvement. There Is one
make of car that has used q car
buretor control for needle valve for
q Number Of years, and with con-
siderable success, but the man who
buys this auto is invariably one OF
the old guard who is conscientious
enough to want to understand his
machine. This make OF car enjoys
a reputation for repeat sales, which
means that IL an owner doesn't get
full value from the carburetor con-
troll from his first car he makes up
for 1t with the second one.
There is another reason why this
particular manufacturer could at
ford to risk adding the innovation.
His car, being unusually light and
flexible, could offer a very salts
factory gas mileage, even though
the owner didn't use the control to
best advantage. Something along
this line OF reasoning applied to the
ready adoption Of balloon tires by
a manufacturer whose car had al.
ways enjoyed reputation for ex-
cellent riding qualities. While other
manufacturers were adapting their
springs, the weight, ETC., to the
low-pressure tires, he was able to
adopt them without material chas-
sis changes and without fear Of
making misstep.
Heat Control Device.
Last summer the carbureter heat
control began to appear on the in
strument boards of several popular
makes. Misuse Of this device could
not put the carburetor out Of whack,
but with proper handling it could
be made to facilitate starting and
to effect economy. In other words.
the time was ripe for that stage OF
an Improvement which, in time,
will doubtless appear on all, cars.
Just at present no manufacturer OF
a popular car dares go much fur
