ON NOT GOING HOME.
A contributor to the Singaport Fren Perwrites:
There is no question that 1924 is going to be known as the year, in which nearly everybly weus an leave. It is a position, which is not likely to wear again; for this rear those who went on leave just after the War are again due, while those who came out on the four year's basis are also une. This article sums up the feeling bť those who like the writer, will be compell ed to remain in Malaya during 1994,
And what is the position? Den onu really wish to go home! Think of the in- 'finite, disadvantages. First of all you must have a safe, and this year of all bears will be had for that, as more people will be selling up than ever before. Then there is the packing! Oh the nightmare of it and the thought of warm clothes when one is already.

The Day of the Knight is Here !
. IT IS THE
WILLYS KNIGHT
15
Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.
It has the most distnctive and gracefully balanced body of any car
in the market.
1.-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the sir
unnecessary,
The Knight autor is a principle. The valve are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular lots or ports which when they register with each other and the ports in the binek allow the ingress and egrees of the gas without gistruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the cfbánst side, permit a man: thorough cleaning of the burnt is from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every qance of energy available in utihar) from the explosive mixture, which gives us such treniendons power,
2-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.
The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great beat "radiating qualities is red as neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets bot eiugh to bake the residue from the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintained to handle the explosire unkttar effectively. :
-It is the only type of motor that improves with use.
While carbon can not form in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the resilne from the burnt gasm works up lehind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head al, as this building in process obtain, it keeps pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chamber developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn...
4.-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out.
All parts in the Willys-Knight car are assemblest with wide clearance between each other gul oil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire amably is lapping or wearing in on these heary film of oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing insteail of a metal to metal hearing which is necessary in the construction of a popret valve motor in onler to keep it quiet with subsequent quick
wear and noise)
1
It has eliminated one hundred and wisty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylinderert poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as can striking against push rids, pasir vode ngainat valve stems, or valve heads snapping back into their wats through the naslium of heavy springs, etc.

HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM
MICHELIN TYRES.
Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. We can
tell you what this should be.
When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration."
Water, can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.
Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results.
Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.
Keep tyres free from oil and grease.
Start and stop gently and take comers slowly.
