between its two cylinder blocks. The
design Of the radial airplane engine
is a series of "Vees" radiating in all
directions from the cr~snkshaft.
This gives the two engines certain
advantages in common. The short
rugged crankshaft gives a maximum
of studiness and maximum smooth
ness in operation. The resulting
shortness or the engine also econo-
mizes the use Of space. This econ
omy Is essential in the airplane; and
in the motor car it leaves more room
on the chassis for the body and so
for passenger comfort.

The new trucks are now on display
IN the sales room of Jesse bennett.

factory production has been speeded
up to met the increasing demand for
six-cylinder engines in commercial

Four-wheel brakes on all models,

are standard equipment on the Com

MOTORIST IS
ENGINE Wise
Interest Is Gradually
Turning From Body
To Mechanism

The motoring public Is again be-
coming engine conscious" After
a period in which interest has GEN.
tered upon automobile bodies-their
design, beauty. color, upholstery and
comfort-the motorist il again ask
ing about the power plant which
makes the a 90. Probably aircraft
activity. which has demonstrated that
the engine is the plane, is to be
credited with much Of the reawakened
interest in engine performance.
In the air. new nonstop endurance
flights of So and 60 hours have DEM
onstrated the brilliant progress which
has been made in developing engine
ability and dependability. On the
highway the thousands OF motorists
who have made long-distance trips
have seen the same improvement in
automobile engines.
Passenger planes travelling at 100
miles per hour have created a new
conception Of the value of time; and
Il is generally conceded that within
the next three or four years the same
motorists who have just been fight
ing to prove the safety and reason
ableness Of IS miles per hour will be
NAahCAiLk MQNu 41cLGE anu with KIE4l-
er safety than now.
These two factors have again
placed the engine ut the center OF
interest.
This change in interest has been
noted by our charlottesville dis
tributing organization. Because en-
CINE performance Of late a had
been s. s%upremely fine and trouble
free, the public had taken a good en-
CINE for granted and had turned its
attention TO other things. At some
points we found that as high a. 95
per cent of sales had been made
without as much as raising the hood
to explain the power unit Of the car.
Now the picture is entirely
changed. Public attention for many
months has been riveted upon the
spectacular performance Of airplane
engines. And in the motor cars the
constant raising Of the standard Of
sustained high speed has again drawn
attention back TO the power plant.
The public wants TO know how the
results are obtained.
We have found an unusual new in
terest in U V-type, 90-degree engine
because Of its similarity TO the radial
airplane engine which Is performing
so successfully. The Liberty air
plane engine built for the govern
ment by a number of automobile
manufacturers during the World war
was a V-type; and the power plants
of many of our fastest speed boats
are Of the same basic design.
Points of similarity between a "
type engine and a radial airplane en-
CINE include the V-type principle Of
cylinder location. The V-type auto
mobile engine has a single V-angle

Their great drive to the top, dur
ing which the Athletics overcame a

took all the Philadelphia club had

"Andv' Brooks, the colored boy

Those who witnessed the battle at

then but four more blows before he
hit the canvas settled any question
as to whether or not he would stay
down.
Andy tried to set up at the count
of six but he couldn t make the

There are a lot of fans that
think Andy has a good chance to

Wagner on the floor just before he,

that the San Francisco youth is
