One of the major questions that confront automotive engineers to day is that of yalves, which are the controls on the arteries and veins of the motor. One opens up the way for the passage of the fresh gases to give power to the engine, the other opens up the way for the discharge of the dead gases to make way for a new intake. It known fact that the simpler the operation of the valves can be made, the greater the silence and efficiency of the power plant.

The goal of engineers is to eliminate valve noises, valve ad- justments and to overcome any natural tendencies in valve chatruction to hamper the operation
of the motor at any speed.

Possibly the most outstanding feature of these practically new creations is the mono-piece body buili inflexibly onto the wide chassis, giving perfect balance, rigidity and steadiness. With door and window apertures fashioned out of a single piece of metal there are no joints to squeak. The nar row profile radiators have a wing tipped cap with the Dodge inter laced triangles centred in the face of a seal. Fineness of line and graciousness of curve mark the icowi-bar and lamp tie rod. The use of chronium plate in all exterior metal parts adds to the beauty of the general appearance of the car and at the same time guarantees consistent brightness' and lustre.
The steering wheel is finger thin, with the headlight switch at the top of the column. Side ventilators are foot operated.
Other now specifications include the engine cushioned in live rubber and easily accessible; a crankshaft with seven mair bearings, each bearing held in place by a self- aligned bearing cap: wide-faced transmission gears; rear axle with double thrust roller-bearings; Chrysler weatherproof hydraulic 4. wheel brakes; Lovejoy shock ab. sorbers all around; roller-bearing steering gear and generous over- size tyres,
TYRE CARE
By actual tests on 'bus fleets, where tyres are subjected to eon- Atant usage under all kinds of weather conditions, it was found, according to an American com- pany, that at least 25 per cent. more mileage could be added by proper care. of tyres. In some cases the increased mileage-ran as high as 100 per cent. This means that when tyres are check- ed so that the right air pressure can be maintained, the wheels checked for proper alignment. tyres inspected so that small cuta and bruises may be repaired be fore they grow into costly and dangerous damages to the tyres, the result is much lower tyre cost.
WEAR OF THE TYRES
If you find a tyre wearing fast- er than the one on the opposite wheel. check the brakes; possibly. the brake on that side is grabbing
and causing the tyre to skid., This condition causes rapid wear.
The principle of two sleeves operating inside each cylinder wall; to control the inlet and outgoing. cases, seemed a logical solution of many of the problems confronting the designing engineer..
These sleeves automatically eliminated a number of parts and furnished an opportunity to carry the valves or ports in the sleeves themselves and the operation of the sleeves was a simple matter.

MOTORCAR ENGINE LUBRICANTS
So that you may all the more appreciate the difference in quality between our NEW MOBILOIL and the "JUST AS GOOD AS MOBILOIL" brands offered by competitors at a lower price, we respectfully suggest to you that you try any competitive brand of motorcar engine oil-regardless of price -- you may fancy.
You may think it queer of us to suggest to you that you give your money to competitors instead of giving it to us. There is nothing at all queer because we really desire that you should know that there is all the justification in the world for the price we ask for our NEW MOBILOIL; and the only way is for you to draw a comparison by actual test.
Drain the crankcase of your engine while the engine is hot, and refill with your choice of competitive brands.
