"The Marmon factory, equipped with new and in many cases spe cially built machinery, has- been termed by many automotive au thorities an ideal 'straight eight plant, since in entire layout and equipment it is designed for quan tity production of straight eight cars and no other types," says Mr. Jarnird.

WEEK MAY 5 TO FOR SPARK PLUGS Iocal d e a 1 e r s In automotive equipment are uniting with their . colleagses throughout tho country in. urging car owners to Join In observing national change week, which has come to bo recognized everywhere as the annual' period when- motorists install new sets of spark' plugs in their engines. Na tional change week this yeur Is set fdr-Mny 5 to 11. Tho number of participants In national change week has grown steadily ever since - its inaugura tion and last year upward of three '-million owners wore shown by reports to tho Champion Spark plug company as having had' their spark plugs replaced. It irt predicted that' tho total- will be materially In excess of tho 192' number. This fore cast Is based In part' on tho gene ral Increase ot interest manifested each year about the custom. There Is also ft . concensus of opinion Among automotive exports that last winter's prolonged cold wea ther and the rough condition of roads in most parts of the country Imposed an unusually severe strain on spark plugs, with tho result that this spring, even more than after; normal winters, motorists find now spark plugs needed for easy starting and generally satis factory' engine performance.

That Is the reply made by W. A.
