fact that the sleeve valve entrine is'
K. ulntr full efficiency out of the '

The explanation for this faer is I
found in the spherical heat! of the j
fuel chamber in the sleeve valve ;
j nprne. This type of head is pos- 1
sible because of iho sleeve rnn-
struct ion which elmilnates valve j
pockets and which allows a high
compression ratio. :
As the fuel Is compressed in the )
cylinder,- it is forced into a true
spherical type combustion chamber
ami when It Is ignited by the spark, j
the ignition is complete and even. ;
Pockets in the cylinders, accord-
ing to well informed, engineering
authorities, retain dead gases!
which impede the full and rapid j
combustion of the new, fresh !
eh'irges of gas. j
The problem with fuel Is more
that of combustion than it is the

Mahamet Bey, driver of a DoJkc car in Constantinople believes in taking no cliances when
driving passengers from one place to another. He makes his living hv tranportinj his
lellow countrymen from place to place. By pulling amulets and blessed beads about the
radiator cap and steering column of his axi he wards off accidents. He swears that not long
ago four dogs in the streets of his home town clashed at him and would have caused an acci
dent had it not been for the charm of the beads. The charm of the heads, however, was so
potent that the dogs were changed into demons and rendered powerless.

in racing pars 'and aeroplane en

There has now been perfected a

is (.'astorlube. The secret of its
production lies In the new process
(patents pending) of de-gumming
and blending the two types of oil
to produce a perfect lubricant.
Through its ability to withstand
heat and at the same time flow
freely, it effects a considerable re
