o N PLAY WITH FIRE

Protection against fire does not lie alone in highly trained
hosemen, shining chemical engines and inexhaustible water sup
plies. Safety against fire lies far back of that, in straight-out,
hard thinking = in precauion, the highest form of caution, in
anticipation, the highest form of creative intelligence. In avoid
ing loss by fire, an ounce of gray matter is better than rivers of
water.
But the only thing that burns these facts home, it seems,
is fire itself. That is why, in appealing for preventative efforts
during Fire Prevention week it is inescapable that he who would
catch the public ear must talk in terms of holocausts. We can
end fires, some day, if we plan right, build right, and utilize the
proper agencies of government to safeguard US from new hazards.
In the meantime the humblest of us can protect our shop,

OF MODERN
ENGINE is TOWARD
HIGH COMPRESSION
WHY'S Knight Car is Among First
to Employ this Type Of
Power Plant

With the subject of high compress
sion engines in mote cars being
more widely discussed today than
ever before in the history of the
automobile industry. an investiga-
ton has revealed the fact that the
public in general has but a scant
knowledge of the basic principals
of this type of power plant.
High compression in an engine
means hat the gasoline mixture is
more highly compressed in the com
bustion chamber, with the result
that more force is impaired to the
piston on tht 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
engine is evidence of the increased
demand for such a power plant, this
demand arising from the greater
efficiency developed by engines of
high compression design.
Among the earliest opponents of
high compression engines is the Will
lys-Overland company. who, over 10
years ago were using a compression
ratio which closely Appropriated the
compression ratio now being en-
ployed by other manufacturers who
build high compression engines. The
patented design of the Knight sleeve
valve engine made 1t possible for
the Toledo manufacturer to give
motorists the advantage of high
compression performance since 1915.
An internal Combustion engine has
for its primary purpose the conver-
sion of heat into mechanical work.
1t is the ability of an engine to
convert fuel into energy, and the
rate at which this Transformation is
accomplished that measures the eff
ficiency of the power plant.

lance to travel, thus acceleratino
the burning of the charge. In add,
ton. the shape of the Knight en-
CINE combustion chamber is natur-
ally adaptable to high efficiency
work, one engineer stating that "the
~compactness of the sleeve valve
combustion 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 compression
ration. operate successfully on CON-
mercial fuel without the slightest
sign of defamation.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER RECOGNIZED

A. A. Anderson, secretary of the Pacific Coast Building
Loan association, in an address at the Pacific States saving and
loan conference, recommends newspaper advertising as the most
effective and economical means of reaching the public.
As Mr.. Anderson knows, it has been fully demonstrated
that the newspaper stands by itself as a carrier of messages to
the greatest possible number of people. 1t is the only medium
that is sure to reach the citizens of a community and be read.
This fact is being more fully appreciated every day.
The smaller city daiies and country weeklies are the great
medium for reaching the masses of people who represent the
majority of the reading and buying power of the nation.

WHAT MORE COULD THEY ASK?

Loading up several ships with malcontents and radical ex-
tremists, the President of Chile sent them to an island on the
Pacific with his good wishes and his hopes that they might
work out a civilization to their own liking.
Out there they can throw bombs, they can engage in any
violence or do any of the stunts which they were carrying on in
Chile.
If they object to established institutions in their own island
bailiw1ck, it will be their right to bomb them. Whatever is
wrong in the conduct of affairs, they can demoIsh with torch
and blasting powder.
Being of like minds, they can apply their philosophy of
violence without challenge from those who believe in govern
ments, laws and established authority. 1t is their island, and
there will be no captaistic hand to wrong them or oppose them
or humiEate them.
If they believe in the torch and the internal machine and
violence, why should they not on their own island domain pursue
liberty as they see it, and shoot up the town or blow up the
banks er burn up all the temples of authority? If with them the
bomb is preferable as an instrument of freedom to the ballot
box it will be theirs, if they so wilt, to bomb the ballot boxes.
If a written constitution is the concoction of capitalism, they
can spurn it or blow it into fragments and partition with injury
to no emissary of the capitaistic class.
Out there in the Pacific, where the ocean surf sings the
song of liberty on their own island, they can carry out their
inaienabe rights and every man be vouchsafed life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness, as he sees them-Portland, Oregon
