They usually regulate the acceleration or prevent excessively rich mixtures under certain condi- tions. There are times, however, when these other adjustments may need to be touched, particularly if the service station mechanics have failed to obtain proper results with the regu lar_adjustment or adjustmnents, That gasket leaks, spark plug leaks or petcock leaks can be detected by squirting a few drops of engine oil “laround the suspected points? If | there are leaks present bubbles will form.

Surfaced roads in the United States will total close to 500,000 miles by the end of this year. In addition to surfacea roads. a considerable mileage has been graded arld drained according to engineering standards. There were 236,204 miles of such road at the end of 1924 and 13,689 miles had been constructed dur ing that year. These flgures are believed to indicate that the improved road mileage of ull classes will proximate 740,000 by the end of 19 State reps s show that 128,347 m of road were surfaced on the State svatems at the end of last vear and it the total mileage of surfaced ity roads was 339,538, the -entlre | surfaced mileage being 467,905. | Stnce 31,541 miles of r faced in 1924 by the States and coun | ties, it is Lelieved probable by the Bureau of Roads that the total sur faced mileage in the United States will exceed 435.000 at the end of this year, because it is known that prog | vess has been equally as good this j‘r for the inexpertenced speeder fo gather the fact that the terrific noise was the howl of a blown out tive.

Not such an impressive total as automobile registrations, en masse, are recorded today. But—Willys-Knight owners are not ‘“‘mass’’ owners . . . They are a select lot. Select, and selective. The motor- car sophisticated. An owner- group is value-wise. Ask any Willys-Knight own- er why he bought his Willys-Knight. Ask him for a full and frank expres- sion as to the sasisfaction he has had in hiscar. .. Ask him about engine-repair bills— about enforced lay-ups because of valve-grinding or carbon cleaning. . % uestion him about pcrjflrmanfe»‘ out the condition of his engine, at 5,000 miles, at 25,000-and-50,000, at 7w 000 miles or better . . . And, above all, ask “If you ever had » buy mt/zer, what car mwould you next huy?’’ Anoverwhelming majonryof Willys- ht owners will tell you they ‘bought their present Willys-Knights for one of two reasons— Either they had previous first-hand experience with another Willys- Knight, or because one fourcytinder "TOURING COUPE « COUPE- SEDAN ISEDAN . -~ 31450 .BROUGHAM <« 31595 Al prices - 0.b. Toledo $1195 $1395 $1395 or more other owners told them in empbhatic terms a Willys-Knight was the car they ought to buy! . . . Anyone of the quarter-of-a-million will tell you that the service he has enjoyed has been literally flawless, through his entire period of owner- ship— that his engine-repair bills have been practically nil. As for valve-grinding or carbon complica- tions of any character, these are outside his experience. He has never expended a dollar because of either, nor has he been without the use of his car for a day or a single hour! . .. There has yet to be discovered the Willys-Knight owner who does not appear to exaggerate when the ques- tion of performance is to the fore. A swcet—runmng car, power- ful, quiet, smooth, from the first turn of the engine—at 5,000 miles, as at 25,000-to- 50,000, it is still more pow- erful, still smoother, still quicter. And at 75,000 miles-and-over, an even greater improvement is in evidence. For this car is driven by the patented Knight sleeve-valve engine, the only motor-mechanism that smproves with use —the only engine that, up to a mileage- pomt still undetcrmmcd after 16 years’ use, increases in power, increases in smooth and silent run- nnt)f increasesin all—around efficiency every mile! . . . ‘“‘Another Wi]lys -Knight’’— this is the answer, szevizably, to the query as to what car any one of the 250,000 present Willys-Knight owners again would buy. Extraordinary satisfac- faction. Extraordinary performance. Extraordinary long life. Naturally, your Willys-Knight owner is an en- thusiastic ownrer. And he is steadfast in his loyalty. He will buy another Willys-Knight. He will recommend the same course to all who enquire. He knows that neither nor he can realize such perennially magnifi- ccnt'savuceinanyo car! Conventent terms.
