Materials that have different coeffictents of expansion are used so that one will compensate for the other. Thus if the valve stem ‘were to expand freely under the effect of beat the valve head could net seat property. On tho other hand, if the valve head did not expand freely it could not compensate for any expan sion of the valve stem. “Consequently, in the Wills Sainte Claire the head of the valve where it fits into the valye seat is made of sili- con-chrome because this motal actually epreads out under u comparatively low temperature. The stem, on the other hand, is made of 38 per cent nickel and there is practically no expansion from heat up to 200 degrees.

As a result, the estimated o month, and, of course, will set up a new high record in spite of the fact that the May output will sbow a sub- ntial previous est month. Ford sales have been constantly tn- creasing since the first of the yea7, the demand growing during the pi st months faster than it has been tble to increase production.

This was an in- crease of 16 over May 15, when the previous high mark was established On May 18, the six millionth Ford motor was assembled. Number five million came off the line May 28, 1921. Fort officials state that every at- tempt fs being made to build a suff!- cient number of cars and trucks to fM the retafl requirements of their 8,000 dealers. Ford products have been quite even- ly distributed throughout the United States as borne out by the fact that brough the sparsely settled communi- ties in the west to the densely populat- ed cities of the east, practically the same rutio of Ford cars and trucks to population exists. Ohio leads with a total of 290,- 769 Ford cars and trucks in daily use. Dlinols comes secona; Pennsylvania third; Texas fourth, and Michigan fifth, with a total of 234,081. New York, Iowa and Calffornia follow in the order named, each having more than 200,000. An idea of the tmportant part play- «a by Ford cars and trucks in the dcily transportation of goods and per- in the United States can be gain- realization of the fact that with Ford cars now, in operation, aver aging a minimum of 5,000 miles per year each, they would pile up a total of twenty-five million transportation mifles—equivalent to more than a mil- lion trips around the world, sine isp ab Neath ROLLING FRICTION IN CORD TIRES REDUCED Cord tires have only two-thirds as much rolling friction as fabric tires, according to a recent test in Yale uni- versity.

In the abstract loo.» underinflation and other tire abuses mean little, but at $25.00 per tire loss, they take on additional significance.
