A farm boy, he chanced one day into a courtroom at Cedar Rapids, Ta, and watched in silent admiration as two country lawyers tore cach other to tatters in a bit of frenzied litiga- tion over a dog. It fired his youth- A half century and more has rolled by since that day, but Senator Reed still tells that stcry. The de- tails of that famous lawsuit have come down to posterity, although nothing more is known cf the dog. Education completed, he sold a horse for $135 to buy a law library and was admitted to the bar at 24. | At 27, he married Miss Lura M.

Years rolled by, the World War was fought and won, and then came Reed's bitter battle with Woodrow Wilson over the League of Nations which, it seemed then, had wrecked Jim Reed’s chances for all time.

Reduction of Postal Rates Not Probable Washington, April 9.—()—Chair- man Moses of the senate postoffice committee told President Coolidge today that he did not see the likeli- hood of any reduction of postal rates at this session of congress, owing to the apparently irreconcilable views between the two houses of congress.

Why this type of engine is superior The superiority of the Knight engine lies in its improved valve action, and the shape of the combustion chamber. .Instead of poppet valves, bumped open and snapped shut, which are deteriorated by heat and carbon, the Knight engine valves consist of cylindrical metal sleeves, two to a cylinder, sliding silently and smoothly up and down, one within the other, between the cylinder wall and piston. No valve grinding, tappet adjustment, or cafbon removing is required. The spherical cylinder head directs the full force of the explosion straight down- ward against the piston, utilizing all of the highly compressed gas. Such carbon as forms serves only to seal the chamber even" more perfectly. The result is uniform high compression with any gas, and an engine that grows smoother with use. The Knight patented double sleeve-valve engine is the power plant of three famous American passenger cars=the Falcon- Knight, Willys - Knight and Stearns- Knight. No other current passenger cars are licensed to use this motor.
