", i . , In the language of the layman. sign compression merely means that the gasoline mixture Is more - highly compressed in .the combus . tioa - &aivfeer, thus Imparting greater force to the piston on the downward stroke afetr the explo sion. This, of course produces Higher degree -of. power than is obtainable 1 in engines of low or -. medium ; compression. The ' in creased -power Jin the- . Willys- Knight is obtained according . to experts, without Increasing the ; amount of 'fuel. ';,' "i-.'J- - Engineer point out that three Important factors enter into the design of the successful high com pression engine. First, the. com pression space muat be as compact as possible to reduce to a mini mum the length of flame travel. "-Second, the shape of the combus tion chamber must be such as to promote turbulence, which in turn produces a jspeedler burning of the . charge. .Third, the combustion chamber must be free from I&cal root spots. , It is pointed out that the -coxn-- bustion: chamber in the' patented Knight: sieere Valve engine Is die-' , tine t ire for its 1 freedom from " de tonation. This la brought" about by the smoothly machined surface of the head and walls, with no projecting edges. This frees th chamber from the possibility - of - local "hot spots' or edges which might become Incandescent. - The ishape of the Knight com bustion chamber is a true cylinder surmounted with a dome-shaped head. This Is said by "engineers to be the Ideal type for obtaining ! 1 the greatest degree of 'efficiency from an engine of the high com , pression type. - ". rK: The spark plug is located In the r exact center of the , compressed . fuel, charge with the result that the spark has the shortest possi ble distance to travel.' Since there are no odd shaped spaces . In the Knight engine for gases to be con fined in. .whefl jthe piston eom " presses the mixture. ready for tir ing, the entire bulk" of the ex plosive charge is confined directly above the piston.

For two years in succession the grand prixe in the national fir waste contest has jpone to the city, of Albany, Ga, where the per capita fire loss is 44 cents.

A stranger, unshaven, bad ly dressed and without luggage came, in and took ji-place. The reporter not only abandoned all thought of going to sleep, but de elded to share his worries with the conductor. The conductor 'quietly made . an investigation and' then told the young man he could doze in peace.
