MOST ARRANT" HYPOCRISY. REPLY TO CRITICS OF TAXING BETTING.

In the House of Lords, during the dobeto on the betting resolution. Lord Newton contended that betting in Great Britalu has spread to an almost incredible extent, and that it is impossible to prevent betting under the present law. He urged that a system of licensing and registering of book-makers, coupled with a tax on bet- ting, would certainly lead to a diningtion in, betting.

the House of Lords called attention to the master, and moved for the taxon of betting, which he said, was both desirable and practicable. Land Arnold, on befif of the icyeriment, disagreed with both these claims He declared such taxation would not achieve the desired object of decreasing betting because the machinery to control betting which would be neo-hry for taxa. would increase facilities for betting.

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.

1.-~The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the six

unnecessary.

The Knight motor is steam principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular blote or ports which when they register with each other and the ports in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases withent obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on 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 is utilized from the explosive mixture, which gives us such tremendous 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 heat radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough beat maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectively.

....

3-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 burnt. gasos works up behind the wide saling ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it keep pashing this sealing ring more tightly against the inner sleeve until it completely seals the compression chambar arveloping more power with every mile the motor is drawn.

4-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears ont.

All parts in the Willys-Knight car are assembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is forced into these clearances under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly is lapping or wearing in on those heavy films of oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an od bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the constraction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick

wear and noise,

It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylindered poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such as came striking against posh rods, pash rods against Talsu stems, or valve beads snapping back into their seats through the modrama of heary springs, etc,
