NEW INVENTION IN BUICK MOTOR More Than Five Years Spent in Perfecting Torsion Balancer. Forest City Motor Co. Display ing the New 1927 Models— Attracting Favorable Attention. The new Buicks for 1927 were placed on display by the Forest City Motor Co. last week-end, and at tracted much favorable attention. Large crowds visited the show rooms daily and all were loud in their praises of the beautiful new Buicks. There are 16 body styles mount ed on chassis lengths of 114 1-2, 120 and 128 inches. The line is made up of four sport open cars and 12 closed cars. According to E. O. Thomas, the Buick engineering department has developed a chassis which is built around Buick features of the past, but with additional improvements which are in most cases entirely new in the industry. "The problem of period vibration has been solved in the new Buick," Mr. Thomas said. "This is accom plished by a counter-balanced, four bearing crankshaft in combination with light, cast iron pistons, a heavy flywheel and an exclusive Buick creation called the torsion balancer. "Counter-weights are used to keep the crankshaft from deflecting. They also balance the shaft so perfectly that there is no high bearing pres sure or whipping out of line, which are the main causes of engine rum ble, noise and roughness. Any crankshaft, no matter how scientifically worked out, has periods of torsional vibration. The torsion balancer absorbs the tendency of the shaft to twist under the power im pulses back to the shaft after the piston forces are spent. In this man ner it irons out vibration periods and gives the engine a smooth flow of power throughout the speed range. The light pistons and heavy flywheel help obtain this result. "It will be necessary to completely change the oil in the new Buicks only four times a year. This is possible because of the solution of the crank case dilution evil has been found, and the oil is kept full-bodied for long periods of time. "This is accomplished by a vacuum ventilator without moving parts, an air cleaner and oil filter which keep all abrasives out of the oil, and with the help of thermostatic temperature control. "The water and raw gasoline which are by-products in a gasoline engine get into the crankcase in the form of vapor. The vacuum ven tilator sucks them out before they can condense and dilute the oil. The thermostat which controls the water flow blocks the water when the en gine is cold, so that a temperature of 120 degrees is reached before cir culation is started. This prevents ex- ••' 1 ■ ' Headache dizziness "T HAVE headacha once in a while, usually coming from constipation or torpid liver," says Mr. L. A. Morphi3, of Pottsville, Ark., "and the very best remedy I have found to correct this condi tion is Thedford's Black-Draught. It acts quickly and easily, and it just can't be beat. "Black-Draught is the very best laxative I have found. I always feel so much better after taking it. "My wife takes Black-Draught, too. For dizziness, costiveness and any little stomach disorder, we find it most satisfactory, and consider Black-Draught a family medicine." Constipation, with an inactive liver, locks up poisons Jin the body and allows them to aotheir dangerous work.

The en gine is unusually quiet because of perfect balance and lack of period vibration. This silence is enhanced by new valve springs which mini mize noise from this source. There is a newly designed muffler and ex haust system which is very quiet. "Transmission ancl gear noises have been reduced by use of new giant teeth and by an improved mounting of the transmission case to the engine. The transmission case is designed especially to dampen gear hum. The transmission bell housing and the flywheel housing have been strongly reenforced to* prevent dis tortion. The result is positive align ment among all units, which elimin ates clutch rattle, clutch release, bearing noise and gear noise. "The engine is mounted at all three points of suspension in rubber. This insulates the body from the en gine. There is a remarkable freedom from closed car rumble as a result. Silence has been developed to a high point throughout the car, in fact. "Custom body design and finish is found throughout the line. Every closed car is upholstered in mohair, with broadcloth optional in some models. Open cars are upholstered in genuine leather. Hardware is of new design. A dash temperature indicator and dash gasoline gauge are included in the equipment of several models. Color combinations are in Duco. Many are in two tone shades. "The rear decks of roadster and coupe model s are designed to give a streamline effect. Dickey seats pro ject only slightly above the deck, al lowing the passengers to sit in a low and comfortable position! "The color of the body is carried out in the window recesses of the closed cars, in order to bring the color scheme in closer harmony. The tires and rims are jet black."

CAPONIZED COCKERELS BRING BETTER PRICES The price ?f young chickens now is low. They bring only 30 cents a pound on the local market. Some of the boys of the Cool Springs high school agricultural class do not in tend to sell their extra cockerels for 45 cents. They are caponizing their pound and a half cockerels and ex pect to put them on the winter market. The price of capons is always good; as a general rule it is higher than turkey, averaging 40 to 50 cents. The meat is delicious, it is as tender as young chicken and the capons grow to large size and they are always in demand. A one-pound cockerel caponized now will weight six or seven pounds by Christmas, or eight to ten pounds by February or March. Any breed of chickens may be successfully cap onized. The White Leghorn is rather small, but even they will weigh six to seven pounds by February. Mr. Sutton has given five demon strations in the township in the last two weeks. The boys and men who saw the operation have usually per formed it successfully. The boys think that $3.50 at Christmas time will be much better business than 45 cents now so they are very enthusi astic over the work. The boys will have a good number of capons ready for the winter market.
