new CHEVROLET
MOTOR ROUSES
AVIATION AMAZE
Plane Using Engine Made in
Indianapolis AStoundS
Cleveland Fans.

Powered with a motor developed
by Arthur Chevrolet, Indianapolis
aviator engineer, a Travel Air "mys-
terry plane" astonished even veteran
fiiers by its antics when it made its
first appearance at the Cleveland
air races Tuesday.
The baby plane with its six
cylinder. air-cooled, in-line Chevro-
let motor, climbed steeply from a
quick take-of at the hands Of
Douglas Davis. Atlanta, Ga. AS it
zoomed upward, Davis threw it into
barrel rolls and the plane appeared
even faster than army pursuit ships,
according to wire dispatches.
Mrs. Louise McPhetridge Thaden,
Pittsburgh, Woman's derby victor,
will fly the new plane in an en-
deavor to set new women's speed
record. She holds the present rec
ord, 166 miles an hour.
The new Chevrolet motor, with
the same piston displacement as the
ole wartime 90-horse power Ox5
motor. still in general use, develops
leo horse power at 1900 revolutions
minute. with much greater horse
power at a higher speed.
The motor is very narrow. due to
its incline arrangement Of cylinders,
and presents a minimum of head
resistance.
1t is similar to a four cylinder
motor also developed by Chevrolet.
Chevrolet and his assistant, B. P.
FrInk, are in Washington with TIE
fcur-c cylinder motor. 1t is being

them to health. what is there
about this new medicine, that it Is
able to succeed after all the others
failed?" this and similar questions
are being answered by the Konjola
Man, who is daily explaining all
about it at Hooks Dependable Drug
Store, Illinois and Washington
streets, this city. Even the most
skeptical almost invariably return
after they have given this new
medicine trial, to add their words
of praise and commentator to its
powers. Konjola succeeds after the
others failed because it is different
medicine, a modern medicine. just
a. short time ago a very interesting
experience with this new medicine
came to the Konjola Mans atten-
ton. Happy in his new found health,
Mr.. Paul Sipe, Route No. 3, Green
field, Ind, near indianapolis, made
the following statement:
"Konjola proved to me that 1t is
a. medicine of merit, and that it is
worthy of all the wonderful praise
that it is getting. About two years
ago, 1 took over my fathers farm,
and the work at first was simply
too much for me. I was nervous,
and my kidneys, liver and stomach
caused me an awful lot Of distress
lost weight and strength, and tired
very easily. I didn't sleep well at
night. The work was just plain
drudgery to me. grew disguised
and discouraged.
my wife had used Konjola for
some different ailments, and I saw
where this new medicine was rec
commended as a tonic. 1 decided TO
see if it might not help me. Wen,
was amazed at all that 1t did for
me. 1t has built me up wonderfully.
My nerves are calm, and my whole
inner system has been cleansed and
regulated. I am rapidly gaining in
weight and strength. I rest well at
night, and get up in the morning
ready for whatever the day has IN
store for me. My work is no longer
drudgery, really enjoy it. KonJola
made me feel like new man. u
proved itself to rue, and I am glad
to recommend it highly!"
That is how Konjola works, quiet
IL, quickly, thoroughly. 1t is a mod
ern medicine, medicine that deals
in results, not words and promises.
II only needs the chance to prove
that it is worthy of all the wonder
full praise it is getting.
The Konjola Man Is at Hooks
Dependable Drug Store. Illinois ana
where he is meeting the public
daily, introducing and explaining
the merits Of this modern medicine.
