Autoists find various uses for old
felt hats. If a piece of felt is dipped
in kerosene and is then rubbed over
the windshield in a rainstorm, the
raindrops spread out in a thin sheet
instead of forming drops and thus ob

may be inserted along the edge of the

The use of motor trucks on the
Mongolian plateau in Central Asia is
an advance in the commercial devel
opment of the Orient. Motor trucks
have never before been used on the
Mongolian plateau, although passeng
er automobiles have been operated to
some extent on the caravan trail be
tween Kalgan, Urga, and Kiachta on
the Siberian frontier, which is one of
the oldest trade routes in the world.
The motor-truck transportation route,
initiated by the American Museum's
Third Asjaic Expedition, is from Kal
gan to Urga. Camels in winter have
' always made this trip in from thirty
to forty days, and during the summer,
when the grass is dry, oxcarts make
it in double that time. By motor truck
the distance is covered in not more
than five days.
FARMERS A POTENTIAL
TRUCK MARKET
Agriculture is the most important
activity that ihuman endeavor has,
but it receives the least attention,
so far as transportation goes. When
conditions become normal again and
the farmer is not handicapped as. he
is at present by having to sell his
produce at low cost and pay high
prices for commodities he needs,
there will be an enormous market
created for motor trucks in the agri
culture industry, just as there is now
in manufacturing industries.

acres. It has been stated" that any
farm of 80 or more acres can afford a
motor truck profitably. Adding a fac
tor of safety of 75 per centum to this
estimate, it is concluded that a farm
of 140 acres can be economically sup
port a motor truck.
It . is therefore, reasonable to as
sume that if every 140 acres of farm
land -will support, a motor truck, that
the possible . number' of motor trutks
that may be sold is 6,361,502. To be
conservative, suppose that only one
third of this number would be pros
pects, we find a potential market for
2,120,500 motor trucks. Comparing
this number with the number already
in use, we find that only 3.2 per
centum of the potential market has
been sold on the actual use of the
motor truck.
The fact that motor truck hauls
during a certain period from farms
to shipping points averaged '11.3
miles, while horse and wagon hauls
averaged 9 miles and that the motor,
truck made 3.4 round trips over the
longer route while horse made 1.2
round trips over the shorter, is evi
dence enough that the motor truck
is needed on the farm. In the bar

15c per ton mile against 30c by horse;
with even more favorable figures for
cotton. Scientific American.

Knight sleeve-valve engine. This en
gine, has given to the Willys-Knight
car the slogan, "I ts Motor Improves
with Use."
It is because of the sleeve-valves
of the Knight type motor that the
automobile world in general concedes
these seven advantages to this Willys
Knight motor.
First, it improves with use; second,
it requires no adjustments; third, it
is more powerful; fourth, it is more
flexible; fifth, it is silent in operation
and remains so; sixth, it is simple,
being free from complicated parts;
seventh, it is economical. Paid Adv.
WILLYS KNIGHT AND OVERLAND
REDUCE PRICES
A deep reduction in prices of Over
land and Willys-Knight cars, was an
nounced , today by officials of The
Willys-Overland Company. The new
prices are effective immediately.
The new price of the ' powerful,
easy-riding Overland touring car,
which by sheer merit of economy,
quality and comfort has attained a
dominant place in the light car field,
is $550. One year ago, this car sold
for J1035.
This is an additional reduction
since the reduction of 42 per cent
recorded from September 1920 to
September 1921, a total reduction of
47 per cent in a year and a half, the
most radical reduction in motor car
prices in the history of the automo
bile industry.
In 1916, the Overland sold for $615
a price that was thought could never
be bettered. Today it is J65.00 lower.
The Willys-Knight touring car is
now listed at $1375 a further reduc
tion of $160 since the startling reduc
tion of 34 per cent made last Septem
ber, a total reduction of 40 per cent
in a year and a half.
These new prices were made possi
ble by remarkable economies in man
ufacturing methods, the consumption
of high-priced material inventories,
the practical total elimination of ob
ligations for high-priced materials,
the operation of a new, more progress
ive and more economical marketing
plan, and lastly, the hearty co-operation
in the plan to build more cars
per man each day, by every employee
in the four plants the company oper
ates. These new prices place. Overland
and Willys-Knight cars in the front
price rank in their classes. For the
past year and a half, the records of
these cars have proved their economy,
quality, performance and comfort.
The new prices and those of Sep
tember 1920, follow:
Overland chassis $450 formeriy
$885; touring $550 formerly $1035;
roadster $550 formerly $1035; coupe
$850 formerly $1525; sedan $895 for
merly $1675.
Willys-Knight .Roadster $1350 for
merly 42300; touring $1375 formerly
$2300; coupe $1875 formerly $2950;
sedan $2095 formerly $3050; chassis
$1100. All prices are f. o. b. Toledo.
The powerful, easy-riding Overland
offers many advantages; economy of
operation; triplex springs, ., insuring
easy riding; three speed and reverse
selective transmission of heat-treated
nickel-alloy steel gears; Timken bear
ings; - all-steel body; baked-enamel
finish; spring base of 130 inches as
against wheel-base of 100 inches; 34
foot turning radius; ,27 brake horse
power motor; electric starter, lights
and horn etc.
