How Proposed Will Will Increase
High Coot of Living.
Washington, June 5.—According to
Congressman Hare, of Saludst, nearly
everything is to cost more Xmder the
new tariff law, he said today. Taking
only a partial list of his necessaries, a
farmer will pay $166.4Q/a year tariff
taxes under the new bjil as passed by
the house.
‘‘If the farmer’s hoy wants a $20
bicycle, it will take/nim an entire week
pickirg cotton W $1 a day to earn
the $7 tariff on it,” said Mr. Hare.
"A $4 rabbitskin hair trimmed coat
would cost him $6.50, if he wants an
ordinary simple barrel shotgun, he’d
have to pick cotton two ard one half
weeks to /arn the $15.50 represented
by the ‘Wriff tax. Some one in. the
family dies and the farmer wants to
buy a/tombstone valued at $100 he
will have to pay ar extra tariff tax of
50./ Two blankets containing any
o/l whatever and valued at $3 each
’will cost $4.80 extra. A $20 suit of
othes will cost him $11.25 extra for
ariff alone. A plow valued at $20
will cost him $4 extra. A $1 pocket
knife 50 cer*« extra. A cross-cut saw
valued at $5 carries an extra tariff tax
of $1, and $10 worth of nails will cost
him $3.50 extra. A $20 saddle will
cost $7 extra and a set of wagon har
ness valued at $10 will cost him $3.50
extra.
“Meanwhile his wife will be payirg
$12.70 for aluminum kitchen ware val
ued at $8 and 92 cents for a 50 cent
pair of scissors, $6 for $4 hats and
$10 extra on the “family’s year supply
of shoes.”

When- the wheels of the row Good
year factory at Gadsden, Ala., the
first major tire manufacturing plant
in the South, start turning, the name-
of Barnwell might well be imprinted
orrthem—to mark the expansion of a
great major industry in the South.
For the Barnwell Filling Station,
local Goodyear dealer, is among the
foremost in insuring the success of
the big plant. This firm is joining
with other dealers in this territory to
celebrate this new unit in Southern
industrial progress by selling, in ad
vance, an entire day‘s output f° r
big plart—5,000 tires.
If you stop at the Barnwell Filling
Station’s place of business, you will
see it bedecked for the occasion. If
you talk with any member of the or
ganization, you will be ir/ected by the
enthusiasm that the Gadsden plant
has inspired.
The local dealers are all set to go—
on a one-day drive that will smash all
tire saleg records for a territory of
this size.
“We are going to make ‘Southern-
made tires for Southern-owned cars’ a
slogan with a ^UNCH”, says Lloyd
A. Plexico.

The regular monthly meeting of the

delightful refreshments were served.
In response to an unexpected num
ber of inquiries fo'r an explanation of
the unusual power found in the new
Chevrolet six. James M. Crawford, re
cently appointed chief of ergineers of
Chevrolet Motor Company, discussed
this subject with technical editors last
week.
“The abundance of power found in
the new Chevrolet six is made pos
sible by its short stroke engine de
sign, which embodies an advanced
method of cooling,” he said. “This
cflr.stiuction bring! water around both
inlet and exhaust valve seat#' It'dif
fers radically from the Siamese sys
tem of valve ports, and make for
greater durability of the valve train.
“In* starting off any new engine de
sign, one of the early considerations is
how motor be in order
to lay out the chassis into which It
must At. On account of the Import
er ce of wheel base, it is desirable to
keep the motor length down to a min
imum. This is ore of the conditions
which has brought the small bore, long
stroke, high speed engiiye into the
picture.
“Durability being one of our first
requirements, we did not feel that we
should shot ter* the engine to meet a
certain wheel base. We chose, rather,
to design a motor of the short stroke
and medium bore type. In order to
insure round cylinders, we decided to
circulate water completely around all
the bores. Therefore, after the bore
was determired the cylirder length
was automatically governed by the
bore size, and the bore eiae wag de
termined after taking the stand that
a short stroke, low speed engine was
the only way we could insure dura*
bility.
’ “This is quite the contrary to the
way most engines are Laid down,
where c*v?t is an important considera-
tiqr. Generally, the designer short
ens the motor by increasing the stroke
and reducing the bore. In this case
the length* of the cylinder block ig them
determined by the valve area rather
than the piston head area. On ac
count of this limitation, in taking ad
vantage of the small bore and keeping
the cylinder block as short as possible,
the water is invariably taker, from be
tween the valve ports, at least between
the inlet and exhaust valves. Racing
experience and dynamometer test
work, where high engine output is
mamtained continuously, have defi
nitely proved that a compromise in
this direction is responsible for a fall
ing off in horse power on account of
valve warpage caused by uneven tem
perature at the valve seats.
“Ir* the Chevrolet six design there
has been plenty of room allowed for
water completely around all the valves,
both on account of the piston diameter
and the fact that the valves are com
paratively small. A large diameter is
not recessary on account of the com
paratively low maximum speed of the
engine.
“In addition to the value of well
cooled valve seats, it is important th 41 *
the proper valve clearance be main
tained at all times. In this respect
the overhead design is at a considera
ble advantage compared to the LJiead
construction in that the adjustment for
the valve clearance i* much more ac
cessible. Ir, the ordinary aide valve de
sign, K is necessary to remove several
plates to get at the valve adjustment.
Invariably the valves are located in an
inaccetaible place and spoc al
