Never in many years have more
important mechanical changes been
taking place with less understand.
ing of the fact. The explanation,
as given by one authority, is that
there has been so much to tell about
that it has been matter of ex-
pediency first to @well upon their
attractiveness.
But the motorist has opened the
package. Now he is startled. The
automobile Is changing radically
and he finds it changing in some
rather unexpected ways.
Compression Most Obvious
Higher compression perhaps is the
most obvious change. This is a
new development to those relatively
inexperienced in the ways Of the
automobile, but to those whose
memory goes back to the ''old days"
It will be seen that the compression
of 90 pounds now coming into gen.
eral use Is an idea borrowed from
the past. With the newer fuels
and newer design, however, high
compression takes on new mean
ing.
The manufacturers are divided
on the question of how this com
preston shall be used. One group
simply raises the compression with,
out materially changing the design
of the cylinder head. This neces.
states the use of special fuel pos.
aessing the ability to prevent de.
tonation.
The other group uses redesigned
cylinder heads SO that high COM
preston results can be obtained
with ordipary gasoline. Some of
the manufacturers in this group use
q patented head which has produced
power increases amounting to as
much as 40 per cent without in.
creasing bore and stroke. The re-
nainder are working along lines of
their own.
Another manufacturer has added
the welcome feature Of prevention
Of cylinder wall scoring during cold
weather starting. Like the car
that was offered with this plan
earlier, the latest product Is so
designed that when the engine is
started oil is shot into the
cylinders. This action Is controlled
by the choke rather than by the

The new form tax list circulated to
property owners this year is puzzling to
some extent. Two new questions appear
there as to how many buildings are and
are not intended to be rented out. Whe-
Their this refers to buildings primarily
constructed for rental or which the
owner inteSds or does not intend to rent
at his option is not clear to those requir-
ed to submit the report. Certain appen-
dages or separate structures may not be
rented because of their nature, such as
kitchen. toilet, etc. and j. is safe to as
sumo that these were not intended for rem
tai although in a way they are rented for
the.common use of those having residence
on the premises, but a perfectly haOita-

rebel soldiers broke out of the

gave battle to 500 federal troops

were left on the battle field and
nine have been brought to Aqua

line and mounted housetops to
watch the movements of the rebels
with field glasses. Blanco made
no attempt to enter Aqua Prieta
but circled the town and went to

Rail Artillery Post
 Always Ready to Move

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Nov. 29.-Ft. Abraham Eustis, even in peacetime, must sleep with one eye open. As the only railway artillery post in the United &tates, it's guns are ready to move quick ly to any part of the country.
 The huge railway guns can en train for any point on an hours notice, while even less notice IS required for propelled ar. tillery. These two types of artil- lery.s comprise the movable forts which were found highly valuable during the world war.
 Normally there are approximate ly 1900 officers and men at the fort, but in the summer it is the scene of citizens military train ing camp.
 A sound ranging battery, the only one of it's kind in the coul try, is charged with locating enc my guns during war. This is done with electric fasteners" which receive and record the reverbera tions of guns no matter how fai distant. The sound is plotted and the location of the gun may be told to an inch.
