ENGINE SPEED IS SHOWN BY NEW DEVICE Graham-Paige Uses Tachotnoter to Demonstrate Efficiency of 4 Speeds.

Engine Runs Slower The < inef advantage of the Gra-ham-Paige four-speed drive is not. it", additional speed, but the fact it makes possible lower engine speed at any road speed, through the use of p high-gear rear axle. Asa result the engine of the four-speed car going sixty mile per hour is turning over slower than the engine of a three-speed car going forty-five miles an hour The tachometer show.- tips plainly. In a four-speed car 'gear ratio 3.6 to 1> a;, sixty miles per hour the engine speed i: only 2.495 revolutions per minute. In a three-speed car 'gear ratio 4.7 to 1> at sixtv miles per hour the engine speed i, 3.337 revolutions per minute while at forty-five miles per hour the engine speed is 2.502 revolution per minute. flets Rase and Comfort The tachometer-equipped Gra-liam-Paigc car makes dear certain (ret-, c hies of a inch is that low engine speeds mean ease and comforl, and that jp an automobile capable o f high road speed at, a low engine ■ pe*d. the driver and passengers are not conscious of going fast.

SILVER FLASH GAS POPULAR Product Used by 600.D00 Motorists in Month. The stars of the second year in which Silver Flash Anti-Knock gasoline has been on the market has been ushered in, and the Western Oil Refining Company whifch lias its headquarters in this city, is confident that another record in the way of sales will be established before the summer months are over. The fact that more than 600.000 motorists drive up to the stations of this company each month to fill their tanks from the green pumps in all sections of the state leads to the belief that the million mark will be reached before the second birthday of the new gasoline which met with such wonderful success the first twelve months it was placed before th° motoring public. "We attribute our remarkable growth in sales for the Anti-Knock gasoline to one thing." said Lucius French, general secretary of the Western Oil Refining Company, "that being merit alone. When we first placed the product, on the market it was only after months of careful experiment. "Not a gallon was sold until we knew that we had just what the public needed, a pure, undoctored, crystal clear gasoline that would meet with instant approval, one that was best, fitted for high compression motors.”

COOLIDGE HALE DESPITE YEARS IN PRESIDENCY •Death Warrant' Theory Seems to Have Failed for New Englander. Hii ScriiiiiK-Hoii'inl .\dc*i><ijirr Alliance WASHINGTON, July 24.—Calvin Ccolidge probably will smash the notion current in this country that to take the presidential oath is to sign ones death warrant. So believes Willis F. Dunbar of the department of history, Kalamazoo colllege, writing in the August issue of the National Republic. "There was a good deal of this sort of taik 'death warrant) at the time of Harding's death,” says Professor Dunbar. "However, Coolidge seems to have not only survived but to have left Washington as hale and hearty as any man of 57.” The average ex-President survives 12.2 years. Dunbar says. Presidents Younger Though the presidency is undoubtedly becoming more rigorous, at the same time incoming Presidents 'incc the Civil war have been rather younger than before. Before that time the average age was around 58, whereas now- it is around 52. However, those first Presidents lived an average of 16.4 years each after they were inaugurated, whereas later ones have lasted only 11.8 years on the average. Normal expectancy for a man of so is rather more than the expectancy of ex-Presidents —14.15 years.

Average Age 59 Roosevelt was the youngest man ever to take the oath as President—he was not quite 43>when McKinley was assassinated. U. S. Grant was the next youngest. He was only a little over 46 when he was inaugurated. No man over 57 has ever been elected President since the Civil war. The average age of retiring Presidents is 59.9 years. Dunbar believes that the wisdom and experience gathered by a man in the presidency should be utilized in some manner in this country after his retirement. The usual obloquy into which the American ex-President is plunged, lie says, is a regrettable feature of our government known to such a degree in no other government on earth.
