The engine Is about the same size
as present engines, maybe even
larger. But it develops much less
power. You would have to shift
gears on small hills; you would be
left behind at every traffic light;
you could not maintain high speed.
The noise would aggravate you; the
vibration would shake the whole
car. There is no harmonic balancer,
no air cleaner and intake silencer,
no fuel pump or crankcase ventila-
ton
The brakes are on two wheels
only, and are not hydraulic. The
windshield wiper-if any-is oper-
ated by hand. The protection of
solid steel top is missing, and safety
glass has not yet appeared. And. of
course. there are lacking all the de-
tails and refinements, all the i'm
provements in design and manufac-
turing which have contributed 80
much to driving safety.
Knowing all this, what would you
bid for the car? You probably would
not want 1t at all, but someone
might pay $50 or 800 for it. Yet
this car sold readily for $500 In
1920.
The car has not changed. Nothing
has happened to alter its value ex-
cept the march of time and the prog
ress Of research. The difference Of
s1400 between the price in 1920 and
the price today is the figure at which
you, the prospective buyer, rate the
results Of research and engineering
during the intervening years.

theme just mentioned, and also a
very interesting model of the "high-
ways of Tomorrow" is displayed in
the General Motors building. This
display seemed to be one of the most
popular as there was always long

from the display itself might pos

in each there was some sort of pro-
motion of Good Will and Interna-

more of them.

Equine Sickness
Laid to Insects

Sleeping sickness among horses OF
the northwest and especially the
Yakima valley is being closely
watched by valley physicians and
veterinarians as a result of a re-
cent statement of DR.. K. F. Meyer
director of the Hooper foundation Of
medical research at the University
of California, regarding danger to
humans from the disease.
Horses in the Kennewick, Prosser
Toppenish and Wapato districts
have contracted the disease this sea-
son. There were q few cases of the
disease near Kennewick last year
but until the start of hot weather
this spring few cases had been re-
ported nearer than Yakima. George
Sellick recently said the disease is
transmitted by mosquitoes and other
blood sucking insects.
Khyber Forester, who recently
wrote an article on the subject Of
equine encephalomyelitis, as medical
authorities. term the disease, said
new method Of combating the dis
ease has been, developed through
! the use Of embryo chickens, A vac
cine is obtained by placing live
virus within, chicken egg that
contains q living embryo about II
days, developed The embryo chick
dies in 48 hours and is, then remov-
ed from the shell and treated with
formalin to produce vaccine.
Cases of the sleeping sickness
among humans have been reported
in California, especially in the San
Joaquin valley, in Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island and Kansas. Expert
ments are now under way to de-
termine the value Of various types
Of vaccines for humans. The dis
ease is characterized by fever, irri-
liability. drowsiness and commissions.
No cases Of this disease among hui
mans has been reported in the Yak
ina valley.
Horses affected by the disease are
afflicted with vertigo and sleepiness
and soon become so weak they can
not stand, veterinarians said. Vac
cine treatments are comparatively
low priced and vaccinated animals
are safe from the disease even tho
exposed frequently, veterinarians
added.
Mr.. Sellick has used an innocula-
ton locally with excellent results
and it is thought that the disease
can be controlled If handled in the
early stages.

lighted by gas jet lamps. AS one
walked down the cobblestone street
and viewed the different store dis

window announcing the celebration
of the tenth anniversary Of the

through a passage way, opens a
large door and is surprised to find
himself entering an ultra-modern
city street with all the modern
lighting equipment displayed in the

which showed the extreme progress
of electricity.

amounts to. $3.50, OO0. With the ex-
ception of one or two state build
ings I believe washington had one
of the finest exhibits. All Washing
ton residents should also be remind
ed of the fact that our state helped
start the fair. Since the entire To-
cation of the New York Fair grounds
is built on swamp land, there had to
be some foundation for the build
ings. Some 80, ITO and 120-foot
Douglas fir trees were transported
on several different railroads and
are used as the pilings underneath
the buildings. It is said that Grover
Whalen, president Of the fair as

What was your impression in the
comparison Of the two World Fairs?
The above question or similar ones
have confronted me, the Courier
Reporter office girl, by many Ken
newick people since my arrival Fri
day morning from one of the most
educational trips I have ever taken.
In answering this question will
have to admit that did not do JUS
tice to our western exposition be-
cause of my limited visit to one
evening. However, I believe I walk
ed over the major portion of the
grounds and must say that the
Golden Gate international Expo
sition to me is just miniature as
compared to the great New York
Fair.
Treasure Island impressed me as
being an ideal setting for the UNI
behevable "Fairyland" with the
most gorgeous and Undesirable coll
ored lighting reflected in the water.

in structure, conferred by the lofty

Clinic Here Is
Considered A
Great Success
so Cases Examined In Clinic
Sponsored By Rotary
Club Friday.
DIR. GAUL IN CHARGE

Smiles of courage appeared on
the faces of many Ashe county
crippled children who attended
the first clinic to b. held for
them in West Jefferson, which
was conducted at the Methodist
church here Friday under the di-
rection of DR.. John S. Gaul, un-
der the sponsorship of the JEFF
Persons Rotary club.
DR.. Gaul who is an outstand-
ing orthopedic surgeon and has
conducted number of clinics for
crippled children said that this
was one of the most successful he
had ever taken part in. There
were SO people who reported for
examination, most of whom were
children.
Assisting DR.. Gaul were mem
bers of the county health depart
ment, Miss Ruth Tugman, well
fare director, Miss Augusta APP
pelt, district nurse of the Grip
pied children's division of the N.
c. health department, and Mrs.
Elizabeth Wooley, his office
nurse from Charlotte.
Lunch for those attending the
clinic was served by the Woman's
club and milk was furnished by
Rotarian Gwyn B. Price.
Members of the Rotary club
furnished transportation for the
clinic in order to give all of those
interested in attending, an op-
portunity to do so.
Sponsoring the cause of Grip
pied children is one of the pro-
jects recently adopted by the Ro-
tary club; and the group hopes
to be able to sponsor other eli
MICS here from time to time. The
Rotarians were in charge of the
sale of Easter seals for crippled
children of Ashe county. There
are a number of crippled child
rem in Ashe county who will be
greatly benefited by these eli
MICS who would not otherwise
have an opportunity to secure
proper treatment due to desti-
tute circumstances.
