Willys - Overland
Engines Stand up
Under Hard Tests
Homeless
Records wiiirh are heinc worked
out by the engineering departments
of Willys-Overland Inc.. show that
there are ninny of these uutomohile
'which have been driven !s excess o:
100,000 miles without motor troubto
and that this service is normally ea
pectod by the average buyer of a
Willys-Knight car.
The investigation is eoverlng the
first models built ten years ago and
also covers many instances of ext:a
ihnrd service where cars have bee
driven up to 50,000 miles In or.e
(year.
In the Hood River apple country
of Oregon there is a Will. s-Knight
Coupe-Sedan which has averaged
better than 30,000 miles a year for
the past two years without a cent
spent for motor repairs despite thi
fact that the car Is put to unusually
hard service.
In central and eastern California
there are tVIHy.s-Knlght cars which
are used daily in mountain driving
with mileages piling up to 1.200
miles a week thut still have to un
dergo their first experience with a
mechanics tools.
A recent run by an owner fron
San Francisco to El Centro, thence
to Los Angeles and return required
an average of better than 375 miles
a day with one day calling for 47 2
miles through desert country cad
over steep mountain grades. The j Cosuer,
472 miles were made in IS hours
total elapsed time with no consider
ation given to the time spent for
meals.
The car which made this trip had
already been driven 27.000 miles
and the motor has never been touch
ed in any -way.
There are instances where Willys
Knight motors have been driven up
to as high as 3.000 miles and still
maintain tueir original smoothness
and power.
In every case where these old
motors Ira-ve- been tested out for
power, the rc3ults have 3hown that
they developed a higher power rat
ing than that which was considered
their best performance wien tney
were new.
The most recent development of
Willys-Knight engineers, the addi
tion of the Lanehester balancer to
the motor, is expected to have a
direct .bearing on securing wrai
greater mileage out of the new mot
ors than the abnormally high ach
ievements of tue past.
An important after effect of the
balancer, Which does away with i'll
motor vibration, is a dire:; and ap
preciable increase of power.

This three-year-old Van N'uv
(Calif.) boy. Thomas Dudley Arklo. is
bete to $S00.00o. more money tbaa
many men ever earn, yet he is home,
less. A Kentucky court awarded the
boy to hi3 father, then a California
court awarded him to his grand,
mother, and anojher California court
remanded- the boy )nto the keeping
of the sheriff until Uic cass is finally
settled.

Due to the fact that the mill site

to delay construction until the piling

When completed, every part of the
