GAME AWÄITED 20 YEARS.

ADVENTURES OF A SET OF CHESS EN

Two men sat down the other day at Simpson's-in-the-Strand to a game, of chess, on board and with a set of chess men for which they have been searching for over 20 years.

..

It was at the beginning of the present century that the most valuable of the old chess sets used daily in "Simpson's Divan" in the Strand, "as it was then called, disappeared Two of Simpson's most inveterate chess players, Jr. George Dalgleish and Mr. F. Moulton,

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 disinctive and gracefully balanced body of any car

in the market.

L-The Willys-Knight car is the four cylinder motored car that makes the

unnecessary.

"The Knight motor is ataam principle. The valves are two cylindrical aleeves with rectangular slots or porta which when they register with such other and the porte in the block allow the ingress and egress of the gases without. obstruction. These wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permait a more thorough cleaning of the baret gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every osace of energy available i utilized from the explosive mixtuso, which gives us such tremendatis power

"

2-It has no välve to grind and no carbon to clean.

The combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston natal for ita grat haa 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 gasis to form carbon while there is still songh Bent, maistained to badle the explosirs mixture effectively,

-It is the only type of motor that improves with use

While carboh cm not forin in the combustion chamber, still a certain amount of the residue from the burur guses works up behind the wide waling-ring in the cylinder head and, nn this building in process obtains, it koepe pushing this vealing ring more tightly against the inner alveve until it completely reala the compression rammber 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 awmbled with wide cleainnen between each other sod oil is forced into these clearance under heavy pressure so that the entire sarembly is lapping or wearing in on these heavy films of ail instead of wearing cat. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing intend of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a peppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subaequant quick woar and noise.

ין. -י

...ft has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parta necessary in the operation of a cylindered, poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such se cans striking against push rods, push rodė againat valve stems, or valve bendi mapping back into their besta through the medium of heavy spuings, etc."
