WHEELING PARK NOTES

Where?
Wheeling Park, the Cooney Island
of West Virginia!
While not as great as the famous.
Cooney Isle, yet it is greater and more
beautiful than any park supported by
cities of one hundred thousand popu~
latfon, and for natural beauty and
comfort, Wheeling Park surpasses
Cooney Isle, because here you are
close to nature and every thing. is
natures work. while Cooney Isle is
artificial, hot, and to a certain extent,
Unhealthy.
If you want pure water, vote for the
Smith System.
No attempt will be made TO dis
cribe everything of beauty and inter
est which may be found at Wheeling
Park because it would require too
much space, so we'll confine ourselves
to informing you of some of the anu
sements and events.

certs morning, afternoon and even

Another feature Of this beautiful
place is that the cost is very small
when comfort and amusement is con
sidered.
Messrs. Griffith & Crane have been
building parks and amusement places
for twenty-five years and have built
parks in all the largest cities in the
United States and Canada.
In all their experience they find
that they get more work done in eight
hours from Union Men than in twelve
hours from nonunion men.

in May. >
Dalton Talks.
Arthur Dalton, of London, England,
who poke during the evenings of last
week for the party at Fourteenth and
Market streets, was present, and at
the conclusion of the business, ad-
dressed the meeting. Although it was
late when he started, and midnight
when he concluded, not a man left
the hall in the interval, ALI listening
with greas interest to his words. He
said that in England the workers had
come to recognize Socialism as the
ultimate, and that the Socialist Party,
the Trade Unions and the Co-opera-
tive Societies had combined into what
was known as the Labor Party, had
succeeded In getting fifty members in
to parliament and had put more So
c1al laws upon the statute books and
into force than any other country in
the world. He spoke of the methods
used, and mentioned the dances, par
ties, suppers, fetes, etc., given for the
purpose of binding the workers to-
gether, increasing their solidarity, and
raising funds with which DO fight the
political battle. He said that the
trade unionists had now come over
whelmingly to see that Socialism was
the goal. His remarks were well re-
ceived. II 4

ed upon for the immediate future are

UNEMPLOYED BEVERAGE WORKERS
fcontinued from Page l.,

CONTINUED from Page 1.)
1.-THE brewery workers, bartenders,
and other workers thrown out of their
jobs by the new law have a right to
hold a public meeting and discuss
their grievances. They ought to do
lit, so that the people may know the
true state of affairs. The people ought
to know that even though some of
them may be able to get other jobs,
they will simply displace some man
who is now working, and, in most
cases, will have to take job at far
lower wages than they are now re-
ceiving. Consider a beer driver, for
Instance: He made $21 a week for an
eight hour day, six days a week. He
did not have to do the stable work
for his horses. II he now lands a
job as a driver in another line in
this city he will probably have to
work twelve or fourteen hours a day
for about 50, and have to spend mis-
Sunday in stable work"
1t Is the general sentiment among
Labor men, that the conditions of the
workers in the affected industry have
been affected much for the worse by
the change in the law, and that the
public should help to make the trans
1t1on as easy as possible.
Whether a meeting will be held will
depend upon the developments of this
week.

This year the Chalmers Motor Car
who manufacture only skies. The
four has been discontinued, but In Its
place the company has announced
the light six. The new GAS was
made to answer the demand for a
| lighter weight six-cylinder car-one
bility, silence and efficiency of the
larger skies with the economy and low
| price of the average four The new
Chalmers is not little car. In carry
| ing capacity and general roominess it
is as large as any five passenger model.
Yet it weighs only sixty-eight pounds
per passenger.
| This latest of Chalmers Sizes has,
like its larger brother, the 'Six-60," a
six-cylinder T-head motor. The light
six" marks an even stronger tendency
! than previous Chalmers Skies to the
long stroke design. The bore Is Q II

wheel base is 1875 inches and the
| chassis is equipped with 34x4-inch
| tires. In the lighter model q three

| In every essential detail of construc-
| ton the little six is similar to the
| big "six-60." fabrication is by the
| combination force feed and splash sys-

stallable engine.
Calculating that the greater number

do their own driving. there has been q
| decided effort toward simplicity and
the reduction of weight. In the
''six-4S" the fuel is carried In a tank
beneath the cowI of the dash. This
| gives positive gravity feed. In econ
omy tests the new "six-4S" has shown
better than twenty miles to the gallon
gasoline. The Chalmers company,
however. does not offer this as an
| average for the car, but these trials
+, indicate the possibilities of a light
| six" as compared with the average
-four"
/ AS in the case Of the larger Chal-
mers "six." the new "six-4$" has a
| genuine stream1ine body. Doors are
fitted without holdings and with in
visible hinges. Tires are carried at
the rear, giving clean running boards.
Left drive and center control, per-
! mitting of entrance from either side,
! are also found on the new model The
new light "six" is furnished fully
equipped with top. Collins quick-actins
storm curtains, speedometer, five Con-
! tinental demountable rims, gasoline
gauge, Chalmers design electric head
lights, dash and tail lights, license
brackets, electric horn and the usual
tool equipment
In addition to the touring car the
''siX-4S' is provided in a two passenger
coupelet. This is a combination en-
closed and open car type. With top
raised it has the appearance and of.
fords the protection of regular coupe
body. For summer driving the top
may be folded down and the door
glasses lowered giving a strictly open
roadster body.

said
I'VE have substantial assurances

on this road during the year will run
into millions.
"The Lincoln Highway is at this
time the best marked continuous
highway in the world. BY July /
1t Will be completely marked from
coast to coast, so that 1t will be pos
sible to drive over the route from New

Then. passed between the big steam
heated rollers of the calender ma
hines, the gum is rolled into sheets Of
varying thicknesses depending on the

Meanwhile the fabric, the founda-
ton of the tires, has been prepared.
The best Sea Island cotton, of which
every inch has been inspected for
flaws, and which can withstand q

Before the actual work of building
up a tire is begun, the fabric must be

mesh must be completely and evenly
filled or fabric-separatio is likely to

such conditions. II is easily seen that
foreign makers invading this field Will
have to make changes in their selling
methods. IT. they are to stand on the
same footing with American manu-
facturers. or course, the recent cut
in American tire prices makes the ac-
tual invasion doubtfu thing.
Most tire manufacturers In this
country give 1t to be understood when
the tire Is bought from them that It
should give about $500 miles service.
They can hardly be said to give a.
guarantee in so many words. There
Is one firm that does actually give a
written guarantee Of 5000 miles SER
vice for Its tires. Such a procedure is
wholly unthought Of abroad and what
is more remarkable tires there do not
last anywhere near the mileage that is
attained by the average in this coun-
try. It seems as II the very freedom
from obligation has made the foreign
ers Indifferent.

CONNECTING CARBUREToR

When connecting the carburetor to
the intake manifold of the engine ii
should not be necessary to "drift" the
bolt holes in the fianges of the coup
lings in order to bring them into line.
If the piping Is In good order 1t should
go into place without difficulty. If IL
does not, 1t is usually the case that
the difficulty may be rectified by alter
ing the position of the carburetor on
it's bracket. Bringing the parts into
line by main force and awkwardness
Is very apt to strain the joints in the
piping and cause leaks.
