Silently, smoothly, and economi cally, it conquers mountain grades, long stretches of roads that are barely trails or keeps its place at the head of the procession on the high-ways. In the first few thousand miles, or nt 50,000 miles, or 100,000 miles, it delivers tho same high standard of motor efficiency. Where other engines lose in power and performance and cost more to run as their mileage grows, the engine of the Willys Knight actually improves with use. Tappet noises, valve adjustments, car- ' bon troubles, loss of power through pitied vnlve seats, necessity for valve grinding are unknown in the Willys-Knight. The patented Willys-Knight motor im proves through the presence of carbon which deteriorates and kills the perform ance of other motors. ' ' . FOUR CYLINDERS Touring Coupe .

A fast running, much abused mo tor car, to which established road ways mean aa little aa they did to his company of two decades ago thesa are the trappings to day of The Arlxona Sheriff. What is your mental plcturt ot the sheriff? Wide and flowing chapareloes! Twirled mouttachlos? Six guns In each hand? A five-gallon som brero? A lariat at silver-mount ed saddle horn? In fact, his voice la low and gentle. His courtesy wonld bame Sir Walter Raleigh Ches terfield, third. Bofl-apoken and friendly ha is, as easy to know as an old ahoe. Hla automobile is as much a part of his equip ment as Is his gun or badge. . A clear, blue eye it Is uni versal In Arizona sheriff-dom that looks direct and belles any thought of age; that needs no spectacles to read the look-out card for an escaped murderer this feature alone links up his pleasant and ingratiating presence with the quickness of his trigger finger; with the suddenness of draw by which his huge six gun can come out into the daylight, smoking as It comes. "About the same line of crime that one finds anywhere," he says describes his work. But . . . The mountains of Ariiona run np into the sky for 12.000 feet. The roads dip a sheer mile Into yawning canyons, the greatest In the world. The scarce visible pathways, tar away from the broad, smooth roadway, up and down which he runs his car with less concern than a city driver on a by-street tilt tip 20 per cent; drop down another 20 per cent and twist back and forth across mountain sides with turns maae In the space of a dining room. For unbroken miles, as far as the eye can reach to the distant purple mountaina almost bidden in the shimmering hue, stretch smoking deserts where only a cac tus, a wan sage bush or perhaps shaggy sacahutta or bear-grasa can find sustenance: where a Jackrabblt Is a friend, a rattle snake or a Gila monster la a neighbor. His county is as large as two or five New England states. The maps In the Little Red School House geographies mark distances from town to hamlet at to many miles, but the speedometer on his Studebaker nearly doubles that distance, when he drives at night, often with lights out, at break neck speed to gain that little hamlet before his man has start ed dodging and back tracking back and forth down mountain sides or up deep gulches. Not whit less thrilling; no lota less desperate and dangerous la the life ot The Arsons Sherff to day than It was those two decades LI E Establishing a new sales record marking the firm entrenchment of Willys-Overland products in llrl tlsh territory, more than $250. 000 worth of Overland and Willys Knight automobiles were "sold during the Olymola Motor Exhibi tion In London, according to cable advices lust rerelvod at the Willys-Overland factory. Sir William Letts, 'managing director of Willys-Overland Cross ley, Ltd., European manufactur ing plant of wlllyi-Overland, cabl ed the following report concern ing the Olympla showing In Lon don: "High enthusiasm voiced vy everyone for new Willys-Overland produets.

Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Ceylon, Czecho slovakia, Rhodesia and other countries were on hand and ex pressed their delight for the Willys-Overland products; according to Sir William. . o ALL-STEEL COUPE Prominent speedway pilots whose daring and skillful driving thrills thousands of automobile race fans at the Important speed way races are fully aware ot the risk and danger to which the sport constantly subjects them. These men, contrary to popular belief, are almost Invariably care ful, thoughtful, considerate driv ers In the city and one the high way. "It Is only natural that a driver whose safety and life depend upon the car which he drives several hundred miles at a speed above two miles a minute," says J. O. Newlaad, local Dodga Brothers dealer, should devote much atten tion to the mechanical condition of his mount. Back of that he is Interested In the ability of the axles, steering knuckles, steering connections and other vital parts to endure the severe strains set up by the terrific speeds. "Harry Harts, who finished sec ond In a Miller eight cylinder car in the 250 mile Labor Day race, on the board oval at Altoona, Pennsylvania, bought a Dodge Brothers Special Business Coupe the day before the big event. When he drove this attractive new car to the track his friends began to ask him where he got It, why he bought It and what ho was going to do with It after the race. Harts explained, 'I Intend to drive It Instead of taking the train to the rest of the speedway races here is the East and then to drive back to California.' Whon asked why be bought the car, he I replied, 'Because there is no doubt as to Its absolute depend Ibillty the all-steel body Is safer than any wood framed body and It has all the power and more speed than I need on the high way.' " WESTERN STATES Kastern business men with In terests out here on the Pacific (Joaat are coming more and more to the viewpoint that the Kar Wostnrn slates have become an important factor from a financial and Industrial standpoint and that a closer association between the Kant and the West Is of mutual benefit. ' The Chevroli-t Motor Company baa long held this attitude and the preaent visit here of It. K. White, head of the Hales Promo tion Department Is In line with this policy of closer contact. "There Is no doubt In my mind that the close attention to d-taH given the design and construction ot Chevrolet Is appreciated by the owners of the new Herles "K" Chevrolet." aays White. "Of course the average owner cannot know to what great length. fac tory engineers and production managers really do go In turning out a quality car, but they at least can see how carefully the screws are Inserted in the door hinges of the t lnher bodies used on all Chevrolet enclosed cars; they can s-e the finished facings of the doors, the fit ot the win dows and the neatness and quality of the upholalerlng and the beau tiful and lasting Duco finish.

That the next annual good roads enn-1 ventlon and exposition ot the Am erican Road Builders' Association to be held In Chicago, January 11-15, 1926, fneluslve, will be an International and especially a Pan-American affair. Is Indicated by the fact that all the Central and South American countries are being asked to send delegates. Last year 16,000 registered dele gates, many of them unofficial noes from South America, attend ed the convention. A request Is being made of the Central and Houth Amorican countries this year, however, to take official cosnlzance of the meeting and send offlelnl repre sentatives, the Invitation being presented personally by rrang Page, chairman of the North Ca rolina 8tate Highway Commission, who Is a past president of the American Itoad Builders' Associa tion and who la now at lluenos Aires, attending the Pan-American Hood It one! j Congrosa, as one of tho American delegatus ap pointed by President Coolldge. Mr. Page Is also vice president of tpe American Association of Stalo Highway Officials and Is a brothor of the later Walter lllnes Page, American ambassador to flreat Britain during tho World War. He will visit practically every country In Central .and South America and personally pre sent to Its government the Am erican Invitation to participate In the Chicago convention. FDR HUDSON-ESSEX Hudson and Enseg cars were sub stantially reduced In prices In an announcement to the public last week by the Catching Motor Co., distributors for the ltriseburg area. No comment was mado with the re duction, on the Hudson Essex theo ry that the public la more Interest ed In the fad than In explanatlona. Rut the presumption In motor cir cles was that It la further step In the agaresalve Hudson-Essex pro gram of making their cars available to a still wider circle of buyers. Along with the reduction In the list price came cuts also In war taxes and other expenses, so that the delivered prices In this elty are ! now even more favorable thaif the mere reduction la list price would i have effected. "Now the question among ano : mobile men," said Mr. Catching, "Is, nor does Hudson da It?" Tue I ? COACH t) public has seen Hudson-Essex make tills and other price announcements when least expected. The buyers are asking what there Is different about Hudson-Rssex manufacturing and selling methods which have made these cuts possible. "The answer Is this: No one method or stunt either In manufac turing or selling can be held respon sible. Rather, there la a general cooperation all along the line to make the cars as carefully and aa economically aa possible, and to merchandise them to the public In the same way. "Of course Hudson-Essex has basic- advantages la being the lar gest manufacturer of six syllnder cars In the world and in being the greatest closed car specialists, with over 95 per cent of their volume In this type of business. Rut these advantages are augmented by so many detailed methods that the rea son Is ' highly complicated and many-sided. ."The theory In every department of Hudson-Essex business Is that the car must be continued aa The World's Ureatost Values' wtlh this phrase considered aa no mere generality but as a truth fully back ed by facta." o- BEST SELLER YET Despite the growing general tendency toward the closed type of car, the touring car Is the biggest selling automobile in America. Se vere weal Iter gives closed cars great sales Impetus and In the north sections of the country where the climate la rigorous, the closed types are favorites. In "fair weather" districts, however, the preference for open cars of family size Is sufficiently pronounced to turn the balance for the entire na tion. - In this connection reports of the Ford Motor Company show a de mand for tearing cars which Is un usual for this season of the year and which called for a' production of 100,000 of these cars during Oc tober. The touring car alwava has been the most popular In the Ford line. , World' Lc-it ZzeZr. j The excoptldnal demand at til present time, however, may em, met counted for by (he new features of comfort and convenience which .. have been incorporated la the, to, proved types. ,t Addition ot a door at the driver's ' left, storm curtains which afford complete protection and open wlJ,.' the doors, greater leg room and .a . more attractive appearance In the general lines of the car have aft contributed to bringing- Increased . popularity to the flve-passengex open type car. mwmememmeft 4 .
