Powerful bort Motor
Saves Factory Shutdown

Flint, Mich, April 22.-The power
fuI bort motor. which has shown
such wonderful efficiency in the bort
touring car. had an opportunity again
10 demonstrate its remarkable worth
IN n novel way last week
The Spring thaw and unusually
heavy rains combined in raising the
Flint river, beside which the bort fac
tory is located, to a height of sixteen
feet above its normal level. A
miniature flood resulted, and drove all
the workmen from the shops. But for
happy idea of J. d. Mansfield. the
general sales manager. the shops
would have been shut down for sew
eral days, very serious thing at this
time of the year, with dealers all over
the country clamoring for bort cars.
Two chassis were run out of the
motor assembly department and their
engines attached to a large four-inch
centrifugal force pump lent by the
local fire department. In less than two
hours the water level in the entire
bort factory has been appreciably re-
duced. and by afternoon all the men
were at work again. In spite of the
fact that the river continued at its
high level for two or three days,
there was no trouble in keeping the
bort shops and offices free of water.

Service Feature Essential
to Even Best of Trucks

1T matters not how good the tire or

Is wanted sometime, somewhere. When
the service is wanted, it is wanted
badly, and the house that gives PROMPT

and costly delays" said Alfred II.
Shaffer, local distributor of Gibney
solid tires, in an interview to-day.
Continuing, he said: "'How soon is
the purport of the message flashed by

New Empire Roadster
an Addition to Line

A new roadster of four-passenger
capacity is the latest addition to the
line of the Empire Automobile Com
pany. The car, which made its first
appearance last week, is one of the
most attractive types announced this
season. In general the lines conform
with those of the touring car models
with the high cowl and Sides but prob
ably the most noticeable feature is the
roominess of the car. There are two
doors in front and two passengers are
accommodated by the individual type
front seats. Between these seats is an
aisleway ten inches wide to give easy
entrance TO the rear seats. The width
of this, SO inches. gives exceptional
seating space for the other two pas
sengers. Utmost comfort is assured
the occupants of this rear seat by full
1S-inch space between this and the
front chairs.
An exclusive and striking feature is
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-22

distinctive in line, giving the car an
appearance of marked superiority.
This roadster body is mounted on
the siX-cylinder chassis, which has
Continental motor, single bearing fun
floating rear axle, electric starting and
lighting, etc. With the long wheelbase
of 120 inches and perfected spring
suspension, exceptional easy-riding
comfort is attained. Deliveries of this
new type are scheduled for May.

found in the luggage compartment.
This occupies the entire rear deck and
is reached, not at the rear, but by
means of an entrance afforded by the
dropping of the rear seat upholstery,
the cushion being hinged at the bot
tom for this purpose. With this pad
in place the compartment becomes
dust proof, giving perfect protection
to baggage. The compartment is so
large that two suitcases, in addition
to many other accessories needed in
touring, may be carried there.

turns up 3400 revolutions per minute. Her crank

Though there are three built in the U. S. A.
that get bit beyond 300 r. p. m.
It's like electric fan, which turns up 1000

Of course, the Chalmers engine doesn t hit 34OO

horse power of your car is 40. You mean by that

34OO r. p M is just another way of stating horse
power. It's the modern way. Becausa9t shows
power through supreme engine speed and not
through large bore and stroke, which means brute
of an engine, and hence a vehicle of great weight.
The day of such car has gone by. You and
want light, spunky beast that responds to the
slightest touch of the accelerator, that puverizes
hills, that drives straight as sunbeam, that has
the lure in her lines, and obeyS.
That's the 34OO +. p. m. Chalmers. I've never

A Kino's Ransom.

The expression worth kings ran
SON. though generally supposed to
mean the ransoms paid for a king.
more probably refers to that paid to a
king. In early times. when armies re-
ceived practically no regular pay and
the soldiers reward was the booty TAX
en- from the vanquished. each soldier
had right TO the bodies as well as the
goods OF the prisoners he captured.
The conqueror might slay his prisoner,
sell him to slavery or set him at liberty
on payment Of ransom. But, though
It was the common practice In feudal
times for the individual captor to re-
ceive the ransom for prisoners Of low
degree. those for princes or great no
bles were always paid to the king;
hence kings ransom.
