Electric Starter and
Generator on the Abbott

A special feature of Abbott-Detroit
cars is the electric self-starter and
lighting system. In speaking of Its
merits, c. d. Stewart, manager OF the
local branch, said:
THE Auto-Lite starter and genera
tor was originally built exclusively for
Abbott cars, and from the very be-
ginning it has been success. This
season we have incorporated every de-
sirable improvement, and now say
without fear or contradiction that 1t
has no competitor.
I'VE hae subjected this starter to
unusual tests during the months of
January and February, 1914, On a
number of occasions our cars have
been in zero weather for four and
five hours and then have been started
right off.
This started will spin our siX-cylin-
der motor 140 revolutions per minute

You Can't Afford to Buy Any Car
Until You Have Seen the Master "Six"
8 PASSENGER Touring Car SEEZS

We claim there is no car-either "four"
or "Six"-within $500 of its price that
is the equal of the Chalmers Master
six" in quality of materials, perform
ance or good looks. On the truth of this
claim we stake our business reputation.
and the capital we have invested in Chal-
mers cars.
IF what we say is true you want Mas
ter "Six" in preference to any other Car
under $4,000. That's only business sense.
Make Us Prove Our Claims
Now, we don't ask you merely to take
our word for it. But we do ask you to
prove for yourself whether our claims arc
true. Yes, we even go so far to say you
can't afford to buy any car at any price
until you have seen the Master six" and
made us prove its worth. E.
The Chalmers Standard Road Test is
the proof we offer
. This is not the ordinary kind of demon
stration ride 1t is real test which
shows you in deeds-not words-what
the Master "SiX" can do.
You see with your own eyes how this
Master car will creep along on high gear
at two miles an hour and at a touch of

You feel with your own body the alb
sence of vibration which only such a
Six can give; the comfort of the 1872

IS WORKING WELL
Indications Are Revenues
Will Not Be Decreased
More Than Expected.

Washington, April Six months.
ago today the Underwood Simmons
tariff act went into effect. Indications
are that it will not reduce customs
revenues more than was forecasted.
According to the treasury's March
statement revenues amounted to
$26,oOO,0O0, about 100000 less than
the Payne-Aldrich law produced in
1913.
Average decrease for the six months
is placed at $4,OO0,OO0, but officials
are confident it will be reduced in
the coming six months.
Forty-five million dollars annually
was the reduction estimated previous
to the operation of the new law.

IS SOUNDED
Increasing Infusion OF Negro Blood
Among White OF America Is the
New Danger. Says Admiral.

Philadelphia, Pa. April 3.-That
the time has outgrown the Monroe
doctrine Interpretation was the gist
of addresses made at the opening
session of he sixteenth annual meet

held at the Hotel Walton.
The speakers contended that the
doctrine has served the purpose OF
fostering the growth of Independent
states of Central and South Amer
lea so we'll that the attitude of the
United States towards them should
no longer be paternal, but fraternal,
join with the United States in assert
ing and protecting their own

Rear Admiral Chadwick, U. S. NJ
asserted that America is fact to face
with a new danger-an alleged in
creasing confusion OF negro blood
among the whites of the Americans
and that if the mixture is not
checked "our decadence has begun"
Admiral Chadick made the remark
while discussing the stated topic for
the meeting, "The Present Status Of
the Monroe Doctrine" He said IN
part on this subject:
ITO apply the Monroe doctrine in
the sense of standing by as pro-
tector is naturally an irritant to a
people in whom pride is predomi-
mating characteristic. We know that
assumption of such an attitude does
irritate"

Judge Sessions will establish a
