Experts in every bianch of the wool and cotton trades. from producers to con summers, met at Wembley during the secont week in June at an Empire conference ( arranged by the Textile Institute. On the roth it, the visitors, who ineluded deles gates from practically the whole of the oversea dominions, were officially wel comed by Mr. John Eisley, of Bradford, the president of the Textile Iratiqute, who announced that, they were hoping Very Body to get a Royal Charter, wher the textile trade would be raised to the status of a profession, y
Sir James Will, of Bradford, presidesli over the opening part of the conference. at which a rather disquieting review of the position engerning the supplies and consumption of wool was contained in a paper subunitial by Mr. S. Harland. president of the British Wool Felera tion. There had fren, he said. Seriola diminution in wool production in recent years, and during the last three or four Years actual consumption has been on a colossal, one might well say an extra-j vagant, seale In regard to supplies he quoted Sir Arthur Ciclinch, formerly Director of Baw Material Supplies, as authority for the statement that the ne cumulated steeks of the war period had been totally wiped ant, and a "standard of consmuptim set up which, on an aver

Under the stimulus of an active demand Rural Building Let So. and Kellett Lodge,
at high prices, he thought the next few years should see a marked hereas i the number of sheep ared in Europe and in the United States, especially as in the fatter entry farmers were pyalected by a high tariff on imported wool. In the United Kingdom alone there was n valid reason why the sheep population should not be raised from "The present level of about 1 million to 35 million. The number pastured in this country f teen years ago; and as one eans of at taining this object. farmers should be strongly urged to consider the advis ability of refraining from slaughtering! their owe lands. In Australia-12,000,000 sheep could be added to the present total. and the number then would only be equal to the stock carried in the Cennion- wealth fifteen years ago.
Cotton was discussed inter under the chairmanship of Lord Stanley, M.P., who emphasised the importance of the textile j industry from the point of view of As the younger colonies general welfare. Leveloped, he said, they would show qui increased demand for machinery and the meas of communication. Therefore any encouragement given to cotton-growing in our oversea possessions must have B good effect on the employment in other industries at home. The part played by our Colonies in the production of cotton was described in a paflet by Mr. W. H Himbury, of the British Cotton Growing Amanciation, who emphasised the secasty for closer attention to the Im aspect of the subject, by declaring that the day was not far distant when the United States would require the whole of their erup for their own mills. A strong plea for a better system of tarifs for he protection of Intian manu, facturers was a striking feature of al paper on the present position of textile industries in India and trade with Britain, contributed by Mr. K. Sanjiva Han, textile expert to the invernment of Bihar and Opissa. Supplies of cloth ing in Judin" for years, to come were band. he said, to fall short of the de mand, and therefore Lancashire, with its privileged position, must ursinhteilly maintain itself in a better state thin hai bitherto been the case. In the course of general discussion.

There was no need to go outside the Empire for a pound of their wust or a pound of their cotton. But there would have to le development up and down Je Empire.

The Day of the Knight. is Here !
IT IS THE
WILLYS-KNIGHT
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.
ری
1-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder, motored car that makes the six-
unnecessary.
The Kuight motor is steam prizeiple. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular alots or porta which when they register with each other sad the ports in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly the exhaust side, permit a more thorough cleaning of the burnt gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energy available in utilized from the explosive fixture, which gives us such tremendous power
יד
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 best radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the pistea gets hot enough to lako the rendus from the erposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough best mani sined to handle the explosive mixturs 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 residue from the barnat gases works up behind the wide scaling ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it keepe pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner slave 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 sembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is formă into these clearances ander beavy prewars so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of ..oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valte motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick "wear and noise.
It has limitsted oas hundrol andlisty two quick wearing parts necessary is the operation of a cylindersu Foppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as came striking against push rods, push rods against Talve stems, or raive heads mapping back into their ants through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
