OF four-cycle engine being in the ma
ture Of an innovation.
In a two-cycle engine, there is q
| power impulse upon each down
ward stroke of the pistons whereas,
| is the four-cycle engine, there Is q
rower impulse on the piston upon
| every other one of its down strokes.
I The older type of engine was
discarded because there always was
certain amount of inefficiency as
q result of mixing the intake and
| exhaust gases, as well as from
other complications. The four-cycle
| engine did not offer this annoyance
and therefore was accepted gener-
| ally.
Engineers for New Designs
At the present time, however,
conditions are such that greater
| flexibility is being demended Of
engines, with the result that the
design embodying q power impulse
ON every other down stroke of the
piston is not everything that could
! he desired. Engineers are attempt.
ing to iron out the wrinkles in the
| Lwo-cycle engine. and once his is
definitely accomplished, the whole
trend of engine design may be
reversed again.
If balloon tires go out Of vogue
| 1t will be because of vast change
| in the conditions under which au-
| tomobiles are operated. From re.
liable sources, it is learned that
the elimination Of the balloon tire
may come as a direct result OF
significant improvements in devices
which operated between the springs
| Of the car and the chassis.
1t has been found that despite
! the cushioning effect Of balloon
tires some cars without them, but
equipped with exceptionally fine
spring control devices and other
shock absorbing equipment, ride as
well. If not better. than cars with
the low pressure tires, but without
| the shock absorbing devices.
1t has been the experience OF a
number Of drivers that the shock
absorbing qualities of the springs
| Of the car itself are Of greater I'm
| portance insofar as comfort goes
than the air initiation in the tires.
Old Tires May Return
If road builders succeed in laying
highways that are absolutely
smooth, and such road building be.
comes sufficiently widespread to
make it practical to design cars
specifically for them, the high
pressure tires may come back into
vogue again.
It sometimes is difficult for mo-
florists to visualize these reversions
to the more primitive form, for it
is not always possible to understand
what changes are taking place.
There are, for instance, on the
road today many crs which could
| not be operated over mountainous
country roads with any degree of
| comfort or safety. These cars have
been built for modern highways and
are intended to be used almost ex.
clusively over them.
The innovations of yesterday may
return to become the innovations
Of tomorrow. The times dictate
the styles, and as everyone knows,
times change.
They are changing in motordom
and changing rapidly. Who can
tell what relics of the automotive
past they will revive?

Three New Long

Lines Installed

ice, three new direct long distanc,
wires were installed recently be-
tween the two cities.
These new direct lines were
made necessary by the increased
use Of long distance telephone
service between Mandan and Bis
marck and their surrounding ter
ritories. Under this new arrange
ment, Mandan becomes long dis
lance tributary to the Bismarck
long distance office, which will re-
suit in faster service for users of
long distance by eliminating the
necessity Of switching many calls
from Mandan at Bismarck.
Calls Average 265 a Day
The average number of calls
made over these wires has been
265 per day.
In addition to stringing 81 miles
Of copper wire and placing more

sion. We have served our
city to the very best of our
ability, and are highly graft
fled that our administration
has been endorsed by the
votes Of so many of you, and
particularly so in view of
the unfair methods and stor-

This is to thank our
friends, and also to assure
the opposition that we have
no friends tc reward and no
enemies to punish. We shall
continue to serve our city
honestly, dispassionately, and
SO far as in us lies, eff

May we suggest that po-
Icing a city is always the
source of campaign attack?
Our force is perhaps too
small, but we are assured by
competent judges that Bis

The undersigned, and, indeed,
