A lU-Jnch heat controlled Marvel curburetor la'attachcd to an entirely new typo of riser which is exhaust heated ut the dome, pro viding Initial evaporation of the lhuld particles Jn tho fuel stream. Automatic heat control i provided to accommodate varied atmoa phorlo tomperaturea. Theno fea tures provide hotter distribution and higher volumetric efficiency. Unlfjuo Itton Dchign Pistons are of light weight, heat treated aluminum, unicjuo In de sign, ground with a taper toward tho crown, tho Hplit Hkirt being .001 inches larger in diameter at tho bottom. HI nee tho skirt in al vays tho coolest portion, Its expan sion Is always, therefore, less than tho crown. This gives a snug lit- j ting piston ut all times, preventing piston slap and insuring a long life, quiet piston. Tho crown is equipped with four Vt-lnch rlngH. JJotli upper rlngH uro oil scaled, Krooved compression rings, tho two Jowor rings functioning an oil con trol rings. Tho outstanding fea turo of this construction is that tho Upper rlngH maintain good compression at u 1 1 speeds, result ing in good engine power und high er efficiency, while the lower oil controlled rlngH assist lubrication and Insure economical oil con uumptlon. Dual Flow Oiling NjMem An improved modern dual-flow fjplush oiling system Is used. The oil Is dollvered to both ends of the in,utor after which the streams flew toward ftlio center where they com bine und return to the sump. Tho oil pump is a new airplane typo with a ullent, high efficiency, posi tive short stroke, valveless, dual cllschurgo, largo oscillating plunger, Tho pump output is three times that of tho former plunger pump find delivers equal amountH of oil to cither end of the motor at alt jiglno apocdH, This equal oil dis tribution delivered in greater quantity than formerly, combined With tho relatively short path of tho oil stream travel, glvcH uniform engine lubrication with relative cool oil and subsequently cooler operating temperatures of the crunk pins and main bearings. New Body, New Beauty, New Motor ,A In New Essex Challenger Coach l4ftsLx 'irfigp mmxmmmmm This New Essex Challenger Coach, new from radiator to rear bumpers, with distinctive, modernistic lines and interior treatment, will carry the banner of the type that Essex pioneered and made popular. Larger and roomier, because of increased whcelbase, this Challenger model has a new collapsible scat which gives easy access to the rear compartment in which three full grown passengers can rest comfortably in the new luxurious cushions. New performance is achieved through an entirely new engine. Bronze Table Honors Indian ChiefOf 1855 WAMA WALLA (Special) Ail Indian who saved Ihe whiles at the world's largest Indian council, will j he honored by a university on wIioho campus the areut council met. 'J' bo Indian was Chief J law yer of the Sua forces' whoso grandfather was a friend of i.ewls and Clark. The white men, whose lives he saved In I S fj 5 , included Governor Isaac 1, Htevena of tho WuHhlnglon territory. Tin; univer sity is Whitman college of Walla Walla, named for .Marcus Whit man, fatuous missionary to the In dians, Tho announcement of the honor to bo paid Chief Lawyer comes from i'residont Htenhon 13. L. Penrose of Whitman whose funic as an educator lias made him more prominent In the who's who ot America than his cousin, the lalo Holes IVnroso, for years a domin ant political figure In tho United Htules senate. On Juno 3, iy:to. Governor Itun- ald T. Hartley of Washington will accept the Chief Lawyer memorial bihlet from the graduating class oi Whitman college. A granddaugh ter of Chief Lawyer, uceompunled by some of the GUO No, Perce In dians from the Lapwal, Idaho, res ervation will luke part In tho cere- ! mony. Governor Hartley will then entrust the bronze tablet Into the keeping of the college und it will j bo placed on a huge natural hotild- . or brought from tho forest where Chief Lawyer lived. Tho boulder Is so large, thai a special rial car is being constructed by tho Union Pacific to transport It to AValla Walla. Thousands are expected to visit Walla Wulla to witness tho unveiling. The Union 1'aciflc and other railroads serving tho terri tory, ut the request ot tho college, have agreed to offer special low round trip rates for the event. Tho history-making act of Chief Ilal-lial-Tlos-Hot, (called Chief Lawyer because of Ills skill us an orator) occurred June 3, J 855. There were five thousand Indians gathered on the site of Walla Wal la, the tribes including Cay use, Umutllla, Walla Walla, Yuklniu, Spokane, Klickitat und the Nez lVrces. Tho other tribes wore tulklng friendly und whetting their weapons, while the 2,000 Nez l'er ces wero sincere. The council was culled to persuade tho tribes east of the Cascades to uccept the res ervation policy. On June 3, Chief Lawyer discovered a plot of tho other tribes to mussucre Governor Stevens' purty. At dusk ho moved his wigwams over beside the tents of tho white men. The uttacklng Indians confronted by Ihe powerful Ness l'erees, withdrew und tho whites were thus saved from cer tain death. Chief Lawyer lived about 20 years after tho great council. Tho Ness I'erceH kept their treaties. Tho other tribes signed treaties but made war on tho whites ns soon us Governor Stevens hud departed. Whitman was founded by Gush ing Kels In 1809. Dr. Penrose bo wline Its president 30 years ago. He was then the youngest college president in the United States. He is now the oldest in point of con secutive years of Hervice with one college. The college, limited to 001) students, bus the highest rating at tainable from un educational standpoint.

Issue of Church, State Come In For Discussion NEW YOHIC, Feb. 1 (AP) Tho Issue of tho church and the state and the passing of the homo us the social unit, with Ita attendant problems, uro tho principal sub jects treated la a report on "social work of tho churches" compiled by Investigators for the federal coun cil of Iho Churches uf Christ in America. Tho report, written by K. Kuril -est Johnson, after several years of research, lists the problem; of church and statu under three- cap tious: Should the church uttempt to influence government on behalf uf legislative proposals such as social insurance or factory legislation? To what extent should tho church participate n partisan political activity In order to secure the election or defeat of certain can didates for office? To what extent should the church accept dictation from state in matters ulTeetiiiK Christian con science, particularly with reference to war? it the church independ ent enough to oppose the will of the state? Touches on Homo Lire Kegarding modern home life the report said: "The home apparently has ceased hi most of our coniumnltlea to be tho unit of human association. At tho base this phenomena is eco nomic. The home oner was the place v hero many uf the life sus taining process were In largo mea sure carried on, such as the pro duction of food and clothing." Tho reasons givtm for the lessen ing significance of tho homo are: Tho relatively advanced ago at , which murrlaKo occurs; the growth or cities and tho crowding of homes into apartments.

Hy Jtodnoy Jhiu her (NBA Kervico Writer) WASHINGTON Calendar aim plificution is rapidly becoming an issue of more linmedlato Inter est und tho champions of almpllfi cation uro working for rcsulta by ll23, which will be tho easiest year to chango tho calendar thin sido of 1139. In tho United States tho favor ite "new calendar" idea appears to bo that of a year divided Into J3 months of daya each, with ono extra day tho 3t5th to be known ua "Veur Uuy" und not by any other name. January first would bo Sunday und a given date in nny month would ulwuys fail on tho sumo day of tho week. The new month would be placed be iwccn Juno und July. Why (Jlmiigo is Urged Tho main arguments for aub stituting such a culendur for the one wo have now arc these: Business and economic II fo has to measure ila progress 'in months and weeks. Statistical compari sons are now not so good because there are months or 28, 30 und 31 days and each year a given dulo falls on a different day of the week. Without tho sumo number of wecka In a month a mouth cannot bo divided Into c(ual parts. A week this year can't be compared with a week lust year becauae It Isn't tho same week. JJifferent daya of tho week have different values to different businesses, und so witli months-. A month with fivtv Sundays is different than a mouth with four Sundays. Statistics ore so vital in these days that all this means a great deal to business. With the 13 moulh calendar all months would have the same number of work days, Saturdays and Sundays -and thus be directly comparable, family und business budgeting would b0 simplified, much clerical work und expense would bo saved and them would be a faster turn over of money with 13 monthly settlements. The chief arguments hi opposit ion are: Confusion, complications und ex pense would result from calendar change. The number 13 Is not dl visable by two, three, four or six, the ((uartors of the 12-month year do not contain a whole number of months, 13 business closings in stead of 12 would Involve increased bookkeeping, Friday the 13th would come J3 times a year in the ,face of a superstilution difficult to overcome, the regular occurrence ; of Iho seventh day Sunday would be interrupted once each year und twice In leap yours, liirthduya und anniversaries would Jiavo to be changed, Jewish rabbis are among tho bitteres foes of this proposed cul endur, busing their convictions on the Old Testument and tho con tinuity of the sequence of the seventh-day Sabbath. The Seventh Day Advenlisls and tho Seventh Day Itaptisls support them. Insert ing "Year Day" means that the Sabbatli must come on un eighth day once each your. Nevertheless, more than n hun dred large American business con cerns are now using a system which divides tho year into 13 per iods for their own businesses und the calendar simplification move ment is backed by a host of the largest national trade, fiuuncial, scientific, educational und labor or ganizations and scores of very prominent men and women serv ing on th(. national committee on calendar simplification und lis special subcommittees. Ono of the V. S. chamber of commerce referenda shower a ma jority of business men favoring cal endar change by international conference.
