The increasing demand. in this
country for cars powered by the
Knight sleeve-valve engine is set
ting a new trend towards this dis
tinctive motor, according to of
ficials of the Falcon Motors Cor
poration of Detroit, manufacturers
of the Falooa-Knight line of sixes.
This organisation is the newest to
enter the automobile sales field
with a car employing the Knight
sleeve-valve engine and la the first
ts sell a. Knight powered car in
America in. the 11,000 price class.
The trend toward this . type of
power plant also is strongly evi
dent in the commercial field with
the largest' manufacturer of taxi-
cabs in the country confining its
motor production for these ' ve
hicles to the Knight type motor.
Until the American patent rights
for the Knight sleeve-valve engine
-expire, in 1ISZ. manufacturing
rights will be vested only in those
companies -holding licenses to em
ploy this 'type of; engine in their
cars. In the passenger car field
today these licenses are vested in
but three companies the Falcon
Motors Corporation.', the - Willys-
Overland company and the F. B.
Stearns Company. ; ' ;
' In Europe, however, the bars
were let down more than a year
ago when the European patent
rights for the Knight sleeve-valve
engine expired. :' It was noticeable
at -that' time that numerous auto
mobile companies immediately dis
carded other types of engines and
adopted the Knight type. ' Many
American ' automobile' experts
frankly, predict that whe a Ameri
can . patent rights on the , Knight
engine expire, leading manufac
turers will follow. the example of
European manufacturers of fine
motor car and adopt the sleeve-
valve principle in their power;
plants.
Engineers who am familiar with
all types of motor construction de
clare that theoperation of the
sleeve valves In the Knight type
engine furnished a greater oppor
tunity far high power -development
with silent, smooth, efficient oper
ation than any other type of valve
construction which can be used.
The functioning of the Intake
and exhaust operations can be bet-;
tar controlled and the motor
quires practically no adjustments
during Ita entire life. It Is also
easier to regulate the speed of In
take and exhause of the gases tn
the cylinders to conform to mod
ern motor car . requirements with
out making- complete changes In
design, i With 'the Knight sleeve-
valve engine this is done by chan
ging the position or sine of the
porta In the sleeves while in other
types of motors it requires ev com
plete redesigning of the valve me
chanism.
Recent developments in the con
struction of the Knight type mo
tor have resulted In a greater flex-
tbllity which motor authorities
state Is broader la Its range than
that of any other type power plant
Public reaction to these facts
ts demonstrated in the increased
demand for cars employing the
Knight sleeve-valve engine, the
type of engine rased tn all Falcon-

Choosing the correct finish is as

To make an Intelligent purchase
of any kind It goes' without saying

product such as paint or varnish,
th consumer finds it difficult to

there are two requirements for
satisfactory paint. First' It must
be of good, quality, and -second it
must be the right paint for . the
purpose. As tor quality, the safest
guide Is to choose the produce of
a reputable - manufacturer. The
second requisite involves more.
For while -there are floor paints
tor floors, wall paints for walls.
and exterior paints for exteriors,
etc., there ts still within each -of
these classes considerable variety
from which the consumer must
choose. Some knowledge of the
materials used for paint and the
purpose served , by each should
help him in making an intelligent
choice. - . , . -
Paint is composed of pigment.
vehicle, thinner, and drier. . The
pigments commonly used are white
lead, ; sine oxide, llthopone,. etc.
While the hiding power of any of
these . is good; that of llthoplne is
te greatest. ' ' Zinc Oxide Is used
where pure' white or delicate tints
are required. 'It is also valuable
In making a hard-wearing' surf ace.
and in retarding the chalking' ten

The vehicle is a drying oil which
binds the dry pigment powder to
gether and to the surface: turpen
tine, benzine, mineral spirits, etc..
are used as thinners to make the
paint penetrate, flow freely, and
spread out smoothly; J while the
drier serves the purpose its name
indicates. Linseed oil is general
ly preferred as the binder, both
because of its moderate price and
the satisfactory results which It
gives. : . "r ,.:; . --.; ;
The proportion of drying oil and
thinner used determines whether a
paint Is flat or lossy. ' Unseed
of! and most varnishes dry with
a gloss, while a large proportion
of turpentine or benxlne gives a
flat finish, since these substances
evaporate entirely. Enamel Is
glossy because the vehicle used Is
varnish. It Is Important to know
the enamel Is more durable (for
interiors) than paint, and that a
glossy paint Is more durable than
a flat one. The hiding power of
flat paint, however, is better and
