In these days two things are plait: No one ca,n rest ott his oars. No one has .a monopoly of (tub lie good will, no matter how high pioduelion mounts in millions of units. Mount Vernon, the home of (h-onsf Washington, was named in. hoHor (if Admiaf Wrnon umii-r whom Lawrence Washington, once owner of the. estate, had fought itl a war against Mpaitt. One of the most Imjiortunt de velopments of the year in uutomo bilo design has been the at'tady trend by many manufacturers' of entities to the Kgl compression type. Marked evidence of this trend can be noted in the special grades of gasoline for high com pression motors now; being widely distributed alt over the country by I the larger oil companies, accord -ins to the Jorai d-aler firm, tat tings and Hanlts. This trend, however, merely fol lows a fiace set more thftii ten yearn ago by the Willys-Overland company. It was back in 1 Stii that, the Willys-Knight sb-eve valvo engine first etuployed high com pression and since tlmt date own era of this car have been able to enjoy the- ndviintaRes of lncrascd power, greater vitality, nnuHual hilt climbing- ability and a ffenerai smoothness and economy of opera tion throughout. Knsineers point out that trie patented design of tho WiJiys-JCailR-tit ;tig;iiio readily lends it self, to the. requirements of Itigti compresslDii, tho limitations inw posed In on her types of high com pression engines being t'nlively ab sent in the Knight sleeve vaP'" power plant. Ono of the best proofs offered to justify the claims thai the Willys Knight engine Is natui'nVy ndnpf ablo to hifrti conipr'sido;t work Is the fact that 'tills engimt docs not ret wire a sperbif gmde of gaso line to obtain the- maximum effi ctc ncy. .1 1 is not aide that ot her manufacturers of high compres sion engines recommended use ot special grades of J'neJ in order to secure ttie results claimed and ti eliminate knocking; The Willys Knight engine, it is .said. opccaAes as snrcessfnlly on the JbrdSnaiT ftjei as H does on Ifn- grades re quired for high compression en trhics of other design.
