LlilCiTl MUST BE GOOD III AUTOS Willys Knight Presents New Great Six Model Declared Greatest Achievement in Company's History; Entirely Different Body Design; Greater Speed, More Power The amount of damage done to Oregon State Motor association road signs by, boys of school age is extensive, according to results of a survey made over the past two years. According to the Road Signing department of the motor ists' organization more than fifty per cent of signs replaced during the past two years were damaged by rocks or small fire-arms, pre sumably in the hands of boys. Only ten per cent of the signs used as targets were damaged by high powered rifles. Hallowe'en activities and pranks always cost the Motor association quite a sum of money. Signs are torn down from pure cussedness, other signs are turned so as to point the wrong way, still others are removed bodily and placed in some bizarre place such as church lawns or court house and addi tional crews of sign men have to be put out immediately following Hallowe'en to correct the damage done. The Automobile association calls attention to these figures to. im press the need of instructing youngsters in the value of the road signs to the community. These signs guide and protect hundreds of thousands of motorists daily and their damage or removal fre quently results in lost time or mileage to many motorists. The ever Increasing number of the new Superior Whippet four Collegiate roadster models that are now seen on the streets, the rural highways and at the coun try clubs throughout the nation is an indication of the popularity of this smart model Designed to carry four passen gers two in the front seat and The water-prQof collapsible top, which attaches firmly to the wind shield, may easily be lowered or I raised while the detachable side curtains provide utmost protec tion when driving in inclement weather. , Metal steps on: the rear bumperette and on the light rear fef der jrovide , easy entrance and exit at the rumble seat. visiting his brother Waited Wolf of the Wolf tire shop.

Perfect lubrication, which in creases engine life, reduces main tenance costs, and adds to oper atlng 'efficiency has been develop ed by Chrysler engineers in the "65, "I "75" and Chrysler Imperi al cafs after "intensive study and research. Among the most important fac tors that determine the extent to which engine, lubrication is effi cient lis the action othe oil in the cylinders. The engineers dis covered that a special type of pis ton ring is required to innsure against the loss of power, and at the same time keep the oil in cir culation in the cylinders. After experiments of more than two years, the "tongue and groove" ring, used exclusnvely in Chrysler engines, was developed. This ring, while allowing the free passage of oil over the walls Of the cylinders,, also seals the cylinders effectively, making loss of compression impossible. It al so has an advantage over the old type of square sectioned ring by preventing the accumulation of carbon in the piston grooves be hind! the rings. In addition, it lessens the amount of "blow by" gases! that escape from the com bustion chamber into the crank case through the piston rings. HITCH-HIKERS E n Whes the motorist gives a hitch-hiker a "lift" he is helping to create a social problem which is engaging the attention of au thorities throughout the United States, points out the Oregon State Kfbtor association. Accord ing o Dr. George B. Mangold, so ciology professor, who discussed migratory child workers before the recent social workers confer ence in San Francisco, the in creasing prevalence of migratory child labor in this country can be traced largely to the automobile. Hundreds of children are becom ing '"gypsies" because of the temp tation to. boys to travel around, expejcting '.'lifts" from motorists, he said, and these little nomads, insead of learning habits of stead iness and industry, are subjected to a wide variety of contacts which is bound to have a far- reaching effect.

Heralded as the greatest artistic and mechanical achievement in 22 years of Willys-Overland history, the new Willys-Knight great six is announced by W. L. Anderson, local dealer. This model, with the popular Willys-Knight "70-B" series, completes the Willys Knight line of quality cars. Four models are Included in the new line, these being the 5 pas senger sedan," 5 passenger coupe standard coupe and the 4 passen ger roadster, fhe latter accommo dating two in' the front seat and two in the rumble seat. Vitwed from any angle the new great six presents a striking picture and is totally different in appearance from any car hereto fore built by the company. The low graceful lines of the new model from the smart, trim radiator to the carefnlly tailored rear quart ers, definitely forecasts a trend of future style development. An effect that is entirely new in motor car; design is found in the treatment of the molding. By means of a sweeping curve the- molding on the sides of the car is brought up to the hood at the center of the cowl and then direct ly forward to'a diminishing width at the radiator cap. This innova tion in design is perhaps the most distinctive feature of the car and permits the effective color treat ment employed. Inbuilt Power and Speed The front view shows the new design of radiator and hood and gives the car every appearance of of inbuilt power and speed. This front view picture is completed by the tie bar between the smartly ! shaped headlamps with smaller parking lamps mounted on the for ward fenders. Beauty of lines and color is ma terially enhanced by added touch es of refinement which reveal the unusual heights that are possible when creative work is placed in the hands of a master designer. The smart wire wheels have large chromium plated hub caps. The radiator lamps and door handles also are finished In chromium plate. Heavier one-piece full crown fenders give it the necessary streamline effect rounded out by the smartly mounted spare tire wheels in the foward fender wells. In the closed models each win dow is enclosed by a depressed panel, which is a definite improve ment of smartness over the con-' ventional reveal. These windows, which are ! exceptionally wide. provide greater visibility. Comfort, luxury and smart ap pointnients characterize the interi ors of the models. The heavily cushioned seats are upholstered in Bedford cord, with the wall3 in broadcloth to match. All interior hardware is bronze finished which blends perfectly with the walnut finish of the woodwork. A modernistic touch la lent to the Interiors through the use of corner lamps with amber colored ground glass. Embraces Many Features Construction features incorpor ated in the great six are as 'out standing in a mechanical way as the design of .the body is advanced over the present types.

In each cylinder, two sliding sleeves combine with the dome shaped cylinder head to form a tightly sealed combustion chamber. This cylinder head directs the full force of the explosion straight downward against the piston, making the most efficient use of the highly com pressed gas. The great turbulence of the gases in the spherical chamber causes a faster burning of the fuel and therefore a more effective explosion and extra power. The Willys-Knight engine gives uniform compression at all times, at all speeds and with any gas. - - TP Coach 1045 Coup tlOAtt Sedam ptdtl i tter'f04Si tearing $4J. Wirt miknhiatladed, Prunf.,a.
