CHALMERS MODELS
HAD SEVERE TESTS
New Cars to the Public, But Old
70 the Engineers Who De-
signed and Built Them

Lee Counselman, vice-president and
general manager, Chalmers Motor
Company says:
THE Chalmers Motor Company has
this year announced two new models,
new from the ground up.
These cars are different from any
previous Chalmers models. They are
different from bther cars on the mar
ket. They embody new features of
design, new principles of construction.
new style.
ITO the public they are just what
I have called them-new cars from the
ground up. To the engineers who
built them, they are old cars.
For the building of an automobile
involves an amount of experimenting,
building and rebuilding, testing and
retesting, of which the buying public
has little conception.
THE Chalmers 'Six-60,' for instance,
was started more than two years ago.
1t was months before that, that the
original idea of this car came to the
engineers. 1t was only after many
conferences among the officers of the
company and Chalmers dealers from
all parts of the country that the gem
eral specifications of this car were de-
cided upon.
Then, about two years ago. follow
ed a period of construction of which
only the Chalmers engineers knew
much.

ed. Mr.. Drumpelman has taken IN
practically all of the large national
automobile shows and says the PAID
admissions at the New York show
were 1000 more than the combined
paid admissions of the two preceding
years. According to this there Is no
falling off in the interest of the publlc
in automobile shows. The Lozler

salesroom and for demonstrating pur-
poses in the streets of Harrisburg Mr..
Drumpelman states that 700 of these

March and that February was the
greatest month in the history of the
company, even thought snowstorms

CROWDS CONTINUE
At THE AUTO SHOW
Attendance Greater Than on Cor
responding Day Of Last Years
Automobile Show

Although it would be difficult to
exceed in numbers the crowd of Mon
day night, Yet yesterday and last even
ing showed great many more paid
admissions than the Tuesday of last
year. The show is now getting down
| to real business and many people from
Central Pennsylvania cities and towns
are beginning to come in to inspect the
cars. The factory men are coming in
from the Boston show that closed Sat
urday evening and the expert spoilers
are there demonstrating their elo-
quence as we'll as proving themselves
conversant with all the fine mechan-
ical details of the chassis in the vari-
Gus exhibits. These men are worth
listening to even though one may not
be in the market for a motor car at
the present time. Not only do they
explain the mechanical operations of
their respective cars, but they can
draw fine mathematical distinctions as
to the why and wherefore of the ad-
vantages claimed. These men would
not be here under ordinary circum-
stances, but considering that the local
show comes late in the season, after
the larger shows are over. This en-
ables them to come here and gives
the public an opportunity of hearing
the most expert automobile lecturers
sent out by the largest automobile
factories In the world

ITO sentimental Americans, the de-
liberate way in which the Jap
i anese conduct their courtships
and marriages seem wOefully
unromantic and businesslike.
Togo wishes to get married. He is
nineteen, and his education is complete,
so he speaks TO his father about il.
Father, having no particular young
lady In mind. calls on a marriage
broker. few days later the broker
calls on Togo's father and suggests the
name of Miss Chrysanthemum, and IL
she is acceptable both to father and to
Togo he then approaches the parents Of
the prospective bride. Togo being ac-
ceptable to Miss Chrysanthemum' par
ents the first meeting is arranged.
This is called the 'look-at-each-othe
meeting" and It takes place at the home
Of the brides father. and i'm the presence
of the go-between himself It usually
takes the form OF a conventional tea
party. at which the prospective bride
does the honors. You can imagine the
eager. timid glances the young people
steal at each other. for they must not
speak. and may only try to discern what
dained for them.
Everything being satisfactory. the
terms OF the marriage are arranged. and
lucky day for the ceremony is
chosen. not 10y the bride. but by her
parents. On that day Miss Chrysanthe-
mum is dressed i'm her prettiest clothes,
completed by the wedding kimono with
sleeves thirty-scven inches long in con-
trast 20 the usual kimono sleeve of six
teen inches. and the bridal veil which
resembles a tea Caddy. Then the cerc-
monial obj" or sash, is donned, and
tho bride and her parents go to the
bridegroom's home, where the wedding
ceremony is performed.
Miss Chrysanthemum is carried past a
tiny fire kindled at Togo's door, and in
that FIRE are burned her dolls and play
things to indicate that she has passed
out of girlhood into womanhood. 1t
also represents the flame OF true love.
only ten persons are present. including
the marriage broker and his wife. who
acts as a bridesmaid. and butterfly
who serves the ceremonial saki. The
drinking OF the wine is a. sacred as
