Ever See What Is
Inside Your Head?

Automobile engines are like men in
one important Observation-Disclosures
success is largely determined by
what's inside their heads.
That's just why the Paige-Detroit
Motor Car company employs a bat
terry of costly automatic machines to
insure that what's inside the cylinder
heads of Paige engines shall be
just exactly right.
It Is common practice in auto
manufacture to leave the inside of
the combustion chambers in the
cylinder head just as they come from
the foundry. In other words, the
surface of the casting is not altered.
Paige practice, on the other hand, Ia
to machine the combustion chamber
carefully over all surfaces-the side
walls and the top-the operation be-
ing held within a variation of one
thousandth Of an inch. ~~
Smoothness of these surfaces is
a desirable feature, but the main
object OF the machine operation is
not to finish the surface so much as
to insure that the chambers shall
be of exactly the desired volume. The
new Paige engines were designed to
oprate with certain compression
,, ratio. If the volume Of the combus-
ton chambers varied, different en-
gines would have different compress
sion ratios; whether too high or too
| low, these engines would fall short
! of the ideal operating conditions and
their performance would not be up to
the high standards set for them.
When the variation Is held to the
close limits maintained in Paige
engines. then proper operation and
maximum efficiency are assured.
This machine operation, in addi-
| ton. has other advantages to the
owner, as compared with the rough
surface of plain casting. The Paige
combustion chamber surface is so
smooth that it greatly retards the
forming of carbon deposits: and
when carbon does accumulate, 1t is
much easier to remove.
Furthermore, the uniformity IN
| thickness of the cylinder head means
| better cooling, so that the engine
may be maintained at its most ef-
| ficient temperature.

sources: in fact there are people
who are and remain emaciated
without any apparent cause.
This emaciation called consti
tutional. happens sometimes to
whole families and transfers
itself by heredity, Finally, a
third category of emaciation Is
caused by insufficient food or
starvation which may result from
circumstances outside. the organ
ism, as poverty or famine, or its
cause may be in the organism
itself.
Among the cases so to be con-
sidered are those who lack appe-
tite because of chronic illness
or of nervous causes hysteria or
insanity. In other cases food
taken in sufficient quantity Is
not being satisfactorily utilized
by the organism on account of
digestive disturbances or irregu-
larities, especially with children.
In children emaciation may be
caused by bad Authorization or
a bad utilization OF the food dur
ing the first months of life even
in the absence of any malady.
One can treat cancellation in
two ways; either by attacking its
cause or by treating emaciation
itself. The maladies contributing
to emaciation must be treated &C
cording to their individual nature,
even surgicalIy if necessary. II
