An engine detail worthy Of mention
IS the shaping Of the cylinder-head
combustion spaces which. because
they give the incoming fuel mixture
increased turbulence, contribute ma.
terially to complete conversion Of the
gasoline into power.
Exhaust valve seats, Of special heat
resisting alloy steel, introduced BY
Dodge in 1888, are continued this
year. However, for 1885 Dodge pro-
vides still another innovation design
ed to lengthen the life Of exhaust
valves. The improvement takes the
form Of spray-cooling the exhaust
valve seats through steel tube ex-
tending through the cylinder block
This tube has openings from which
water is kept playing against the
cylinder side Of the exhaust valve
seats.
AS the exhaust-valve spray cooling
tube is directly connected to the
water pump. cool water is delivered
through holes In the tube and sprayed
on the six hot exhaust valve seatS
The main engine cooling system has
been further improved by extending
the water jackets down the full
length of the cylinder walls.
The aluminium pistons are Of an
improved steel-strut, controlled
pansion type giving an effective COM
preston seal regardless Of whether
the engine Is hot or cold.
Engine fabrication Is by forced

The new line Of Dodge cars will be
displayed March 1880 at the Bis
marck automobile and style show by
the NJ. B. Gilman Co., distributor,
and Rosen's Service garage, dealer.
It Is evident that the company's
engineers have applied considerable
time. effort and ingenuity to the task

able bodies with operating features
that do, automatically, variety Of
things which formerly had to be done
manually.
The touring sedans incorporate In.
genious inbuilt, streamlined trunks Of
such unusual capacity that their low
er sections may be used to accommo-
date the spare wheel and tire, leav-
ing In the upper compartments ample
room for luggage.
To provide the interior comfort Of
which the show visitor becomes con-
scious the moment he opens the car
doors, Dodge engineers have done two
fundamental things: they designed a
new chassis frame with greater flare
and they changed the method by
which the bodies are mounted on the
frame. The greater frame flare and
the improved body mounting system
have made 1t impossible to widen the
front and rear seats and to carry the
body sides and doors down to the
running boards. Although seats are
Of chair height. they are so construct
ed that the interior retains generous
head room. To get out Of the cal
row means as little effort as rising
from q living-room chair.
One Of the mechanical advances
seen for the first time this year Is
the Dodge "synchromatic" front

ly to performance. More room has
been provided In two sedan models by
re-designing the rear Of the front
seat. Extensive changes have been
made in upholstering and interior
trim, particularly in the lower priced
groups. In the series 40, mechanical
changes have been effected to add to
performance and improve fuel econ

rubber engine mounting, that more
effectively insulates the engine from

ed In this country by Buick, knee
action wheels have met with unusual
success since their introduction. They
are here to stay, In the opinion Of
automotive engineers. In the new
Buick cars this type Of individual
wheel suspension Is combined with
the torque tube drive, the sway stab
ilizer, balanced springing and weight
distribution and low pressure tires,
to produce a gliding ride that Is one
Of the outstanding characteristics Of
the new cars.
Automatic devices are abundantly
used In the 1885 Bucks performing
the functions for which they were
designed with unfailing mechanical
precision. These automatic features
include such items as dual controlled
automatic starting, carburetor heat
control, automatic idle control, water
temperature regulation. oil tempera-
ture regulator on the so, 80 and 80

Automatic operation Is q result Of

Mr.. Yates was administrative assistants

made complaints against the Governor TO
Harold lckes, Secretary of the lnte-

led to Yates resignation.
Since that time Yates has worked fer

ing in convincing the Senate that there
were grounds for such an investigation.
A subcommittee of the Senate started
the investigation in the Virgin Islands
but adjourned until such time as the
