Do you remember. taking something from the shelf and putting it into your trousers -1 a rather stout, and have often to arrange my trousers to prevent them coming down:

Do you always stand by a shelf when you arrange your trousers -The wit- ness made no reply.

Are you aware that clothing was miss- ed when you left after arranging, your trousers do not know.

Two waiters testified to Wearing cries of Save life," and described how the taree defendants hit the complainant.

His Worship" said that there was no doubt that the complainant Lad been nisaälted, and whether the defendants thought he was a thief or not, that wis no justification.

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.

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

nnnecessary.

The Knight motor is steun principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with rectangular slots or ports gases without which when they register with each other and the porta in the block allow the ingress and egress of the obstruction. Thewy wide open passages, particularly on the exhaust sile, permit a more thorough cleaning of the Barat gases from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that prey 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 hea radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber not the head of the piston gets hot enough to bake the residue from the exposed gas to form carbon while there is still cough heat maintained to handle the explosive mixture effectively.

i)

-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 burat gases works up behind the wide sealing ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it keept pushing this sealing ring more tightly against the inter sleers until it completely seals the compression chambur developing more power with every mile the motor is drawn.

-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears out

All parts in the Willys-Kaight car are sembled 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 these heavy films of oll instead of wearing out. In other words, every braving in this motor is an oil besring 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 enbeequent gaick west and coine.

་

It has eliminsted one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylindered poppet raive motor. There are no hammering parts such as cam shriking against push rods, pash rods against valve stems, or valve heads snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc..
