Equal to a fine liqueur
To judge whisky, pour out a small measure of it and add an equal quantity of water. Roll it round in the glass and "nose" it for bouquet. Then sip it, rolling it on the tongue and against the palate. Finally swallow. If it seems in every way the equivalent of a fine liqueur it is "White Horse."

A LIGHT LEGACY
INSOLUBLE PROBLEM
AT READING
Reading, Jan. 17, "How long does for ever go on? If something never stops, how long does it continue?' And If a thing is clernal, what does it mean anyway?**
Theso elementary questions when put to the Town Clerk of Reading to-day he was not able to answer.
"But look," it was pointed out, "outside your Town Hall you have an obelisk with a light on it. Underneath the light is a plaque which says that Edward Simeon, merchant of Reading and Director of the Bank of England, caused the pillar to be erected in 1804 and supplied enough money to koop a light burning day and night, rain or snow, through thick and through thin, for ever. How long is the porlod Implied?"",

For every 54 inches which the Ford V-8 travels, its engine produces one power impulse.
If "impulse" is not clear to you, say "expansion," or "explosion,”.
One drop of gasoline, hardly as large as a grain of wheat (there are 178 of these drops It is the result- in a teaspoonful) is vaporized as gas and burned in the combustion chamber.

A mile at 60 is only a minute long. small, closely-spaced explosions occur.
And every mile your V-8 travels, 12,000 of these The power impulses of the V-8 are so closely timed that they blend in one smooth continuous flow of power.
Now, it is natural that the small, confined combustion chambers should become pretty For remember, at 60 miles an hour, this is 1,500 hot, each with its 1,500 explosions a mile.
With fewer cylinders there would be just Heat, therefore, is not

Where cylinder heads are of cast iron, as many are, this heat cannot escape as rapidly Thus, cast iron as is desirable, And so the engine has a tendency to "knock" or "ping." makes it necessary to hold a lower compression in the firing chamber, and this prevents getting the full power of the engine.
But the cylinder heads on the Ford V-8 are aluminum, which allows excess heat to escape three times as fast as cast iron does. Housewives who use aluminum cooking pans know that this material distributes heat evenly. Add to this that it dissipates excess heat quickly, and you get the reasons for its use in the Ford V-8,
Our aluminum cylinder head adds 10 horsepower to the V-8 engine, by permitting high compression—and it gets this increased horsepower without increasing the gas consumption. In fact, it uses less gas.
Any grade of gas-with our aluminum cylinder heads-will give you more power and
