AUXILIARY PRESIDENT
OUTLINES 1928 AIMS
Mrs. ]. M. Bishop of Thief River
Falls, Starts Second Term As
State Leader.

In her message to the 1900 Min
nesota Auxiliary members upon their
reelection of her as department pres
ident, Mrs. J. M. Bishop of Thief
River Falls, thus outlines the aims
of the organization for the coming
year:
Again I greet you in the name of
service! My desire shall be to prove
worthy of the women I represent
almost seventeen thousand loyal, un-
selfish, patriotic women of Minnesota.
"The path of high endeavor does
not lie in smooth ways. For eight
years the American Legion Auxiliary
has travelled upward and onward in
the path of service, inspired by our
World War heroes. Each president
has blazed the trail little farther.
This year we go forward with a
united front-American Legion and
American Legion Auxiliary-a mighty
peace-time army of men and women
banded together for service to the
disabled man and his family, service
to the community, state and nation.
Joint meetings of posts and units,
joint rallies, joint. district conventions,
joint opening at the Hibbing con-
vention, a joint program for the year,
the American Legionnaire as our joint
paper-mean bigger and better
America through bigger and better
American Legion and Auxiliary. May
the unqualified support given us by
the men of the American Legion con-
tinue undated. 1t has made our
work a pleasure.
mo organization owes it's success
to its president, but to the woman
in the ranks who inspires her unit to
unselfish service; who perhaps makes
a layette for needy baby, or a pair
of pajamas for sick veteran in hos
pital; who helps establish a play
ground or plant a flower bed in her
own town; who brings cheer to the
family of an ex-service man in her
community, or visits week after week
the lonely buddie in the hospital.
"Our standing chairmen acted as
chairmen of their respective conven-
ton committees at Hibbing. The
recommendations there adopted, now
become convention mandates and are
added to our program. These pro-
grams will appear from time to time
in The American Legionnaire, our
state paper.
"The meritorious citations, the
trophies won and prizes awarded,
come to units and individuals through
their zeal in carrying forward such
programs as are outlined. These are
Unit Activities; Community We'll
fare; Legislation; Rehabilitation; Pop
py; Revolving Fund; Memorials; Child
Welfare; Hospital; Membership; Co.
operation; Emblems; Trophies-Awards
and Amertcanism.
"Since the beginning of time there
has never been a greater spirit of
service and cooperation than now ex-
lists in the American Legion and Aux
Hilary, for the betterment of commun-
ity, state, and nation. Let us go for
ward. My entire time and what
ability I possess are yours to COM
mand."

DRIVE CAREFULLY ON
SOFT SHOULDERS, NEW
GRADES, is WARNING


When driving on new grades or
shoulders after a rain, drive care
fully, is the warning of the State
Highway department. Washouts fire.
quently occur on new grades. When
these are filled, the new material may
remain soft for some time, and car
going at high speed and hitting one
of these soft spots may slide into the
ditch, with serious results.
Warning signs are posted near
washouts until the repair is made,
but it is not practicable to keep these
signs on the road after the washout is
filled. Careful driving when there is
any Indication of soft shoulders will
prevent accidents.

ON MOTOR ROW

limitations are imposed by other
types Of engines, but in the Knight
sleeve valve engine the moment the
intake port opens, all obstruction is
removed from the path of the in
coming gas, thus furnishing a
straight through" passage which
allows full use to be made Of the
energy Of the moving column of gas.
II is a known fact that the COM
bustion chamber in the sleeve valve
engine is notably free from detona-
ton. The reason for this is OBJ
vious. The entire surface of the
head and walls is smoothly mach
ined, with no projecting edges. With
the spark plug located in the exact
center of the compressed fuel charge,
the spark has the shortest possible
distance to travel, thus accelerating
the burning of the charge. In addi-
tion, the shape of the knight engine
combustion chamber is naturally
adaptable to high efficiency work
one engineer stating that "the com.
pactness of the sleeve valve com.
bustion chamber is unequalled."
Where sleeve valve engines have
been designed without deliberate
power restrictions their performance
has been notable. One Of the best
proofs offered for the Knight sleeve
valve engine is the fact that these
engines with a high impression
ratio, operate successfully on com.
mercial fuel without the slightest
sign of detonation.
1t is il .cresting to note that the
advantages claimed for higher com.
preston engines coincide with the
characteristic features set fol
knight sleeve valve motors with
regard to increased power, increased
fuel economy, smooth running ant
lack Of carbon formation.

close friends claim for him the fast

To these same fast-stepping feet
MacNamee gives credit for preserv.
ing the reputation that the afore-
said tongue and wit have so quickly
built.
It happened at the Philadelphia
Radio Rodeo. Graham admits he
got careless. After introducing the
Silver Masked Tenor in his own
sparkling manner, MacNamee
strolled away from the mike and
started m inspection Of the nearby
radio exhibits.
At the Sparton Radio Booth he
met J. v. Kane. The two began

ACT was picking up" the Silver
Masked Tenor for the crowd. Mac
Nance and Kane talked some more.
The Silver Masked tenor kept on
singing. So did the Sparton.
Kane and MacNamee still talked
MacNamee swears that he forgot
where he was, and unconsciously
thought that the mike" was right
1t his elbow-and that the Silver
Masked tenor was singing into it.
So he kept right on talking, awaiting
the next number.
The music stopped. MacNamee
cleared his throat and stepped over
to-nothing. The mike was far

famous "dogs" went into action. The
floor sizzled, the crowd parted, and
MacNamee painted. He reached the
''mike" in breathless condition
and proceeded to make desperate use
Of the nimble wit and the facilt
tongue which his listeners love. His
apology was as follows:

Trend Of Modern
Engine Is Toward
High Compression

With the subject Of high COM
preston engines in motor cars being
more widely discussed today than
ever before in the history Of the
automobile industry, an Investigation
has revealed the fact that the pub
lie, in general, has but scant
knowledge of tAe basic principles Of
this type Of power plant.
High compression in an engine
means that the gasoline mixture is
more highly compressed in the COM
bustion chamber, with the result that
more 'cc is impaired to the piss
ton on the downward stroke after
the explosion. The natural result Of
the greater force is increased power.
The noticeable trend on the part
Of leading motor car manufacturers
toward the high compression type
of engine is evidence Of the in
creased demand for such a power
plant, this demand arising from the
greater efficiency developed by eng
ines Of high compression design.
Among the earliest eXronents OF
high compression engines is the Will
lys-Overland company who, over ten
years ago were using compression
ratio which closely approximated the
compressio. ratio now being employ
ed BY otter manufacturers who build
high compression engines. The pat
ented design Of the Knight sleeve
valve engine ladc it possible for
the Toledo manufacturer to give mo-
florists the advantages of high COM
preston performance since 1915.
An internal combust' \ engine has
for its primary purpose the CONVEX
sion Of heat into mechanical work.
1t is the ability Of an engine to con
vert fuel into energy, and the rate
ct which this transformation is &C
complished that measures the ef.
ticiency of the power plant.
Automotive engineers point out
that the Knight sleeve valve engine
such as is used in the WilIys-knight
cars, seems to- be unusually wei
adapted to high efficiency work
many Of them declaring that fol
such service it is superior to Tho
best poppet valve engines. Certain

Many Of the shining lights Of the
radio world witnessed and applauded
MacNamee's great dash. They offer
to back him for any amount against
all Corners over the same course.

times to the Sparton booth, bring
ing friends to hear the perfect
Radio voice that tricked him SO
neatly. But he didn't forget again.

Their new one is $685. miles an
hour. They broke the old 24-hour
record of 1880 miles in slightly more
than 20 hours.
The run was started at 5 p. m.
and finished at the same hour the
day following. 1t was timed, checked
and certified by representatives
of the Royal Automobile Club of
Australia, which have certified all
records made as new official Aus
tralian marks.
Australian newspapers, which
commented at length on the feat,
point out that checkings reveal the
remarkable steadjpess under which
the car travelled. The first hour
was reeled off at $3.50 miles an
hour; the first 100 miles at 6S.964
miles an hour, 500 miles at 68.4
miles an hour; 1000 miles at 68.568
miles an hour. The time for 1000
miles was 875 minutes, and for 500
miles 438 minutes and IS seconds.
Checkings and certifications made
by the r. A. c. men also reveal the
cars steady performance ability. The
engine was never stopped through
out the runs duration. Only one
complete stoppage Of the wheels was
made-to replace a punctured tire
during the last half Of the run. No
water W S added to the radiator
from start to finish.
