sPEED1ER MOTORS ARE
.,.. GAINING IN FAVOR
,Continued from page nine)

CONTINUED from page nine)
Keeps, the world laughed. The au'
tomobile would be alright for the
rich mans toy. IL would never be
practical. But the engineers were un'
daunted. They kept the lights burn
ing nights in their laboratories. The
world had laughed at Fulton. at
Whitney, at Bell
The d number OF cylinders were
changed-one, two, four, six. They
experimental with steam, naphtha,
kerosene. The first engines were
painfully intricate affairs that ran
laboriously They We're inefficient
They baked at hills, heavy roads and
sand. But the engineers kept on.
They knew they were on the right
track. Thus evolved the gasoline
motor that has shouldered the
worlds burdens.
So expert have the engineers be-
come that they have succeeded IN
Harvesting the pulling power OF
hundred horses in compact me-
chanism OF aluminium and steel
Speeds such as the world never
dreamed possible have been attained.
The motor car has come into us
own. It has made itself indispensa-
BILE in the modern system If life.
The evolution Of the Chalmers mo-
tor is one of inspection and test
ing from the rough casting stage to
the hral assembly. Out from the
motor assembly came the engines
mounted on wheeled stands that en-
able the workmen to turn the motor
topsy turvy for better inspection and
adjustment.
The first work for the motor is a
sinecure to what Is in store for it
later. In order to loosen up the
working parts and Intricate the bear
ing thoroughly 1t is hitched to dy-
namOmeter and run for two hours
without load. For the first forty
minutes it is set to turn over at but
300 revolutions per minute. 1t is
like teaching a baby to walk. High
speed at first might result in strain
and serious injury. The next forty
minutes holds the speed at 600 r. p.
m. as registered on the tachometer
on the instrument board. At the ex.
piration of this period. the speed is
keyed still higher and the tachome-
ter tells $50.
From the dynamometer the motor
is wheeled into the block test room.
Where fifty motors are hitting it off
on their own power The average
running time for each motor on the
block test is four hours. 1t takes
600 gallons of gasoline day to test
out the Chalmers motors which are
going through final inspection.
On the block test each engine gets
it's first taste of high speed For the
first fifteen minutes it turns over
without water. This is done to heat
the motor so that the piston heads
will expand to their maximum. Then
they are taken up by the workmen.
The run on the block lOosens up all
reciprocating parts thoroughly. Any
bad knocks or grievous faults are de-
tected here and the motor shot back
to be overhauled in the repair shop.
From the block test each engine
goes to the tuning room" Here the
eagle eye of Chalmers inspection
goes over the job from flywheel to
spark plug. With practised eye the
inspectors examine the gears and

bearings. The carburttor is adjust
ed, the timing gears set accurately.
Alert every second, they search for
knocks. smoke, oil and water leaks,
sand holes. Perfect balance is secur-
ed The oil pressure is regulated
properly.
Playing leading role In the auto
mobile manufacturers march toward
perfection is the anti-noise campaign
which has been waged since the ear
" days of the industry. Contrast the
rumble of the old chain-driven mod
els with the silence OF today's shaft
driven cars with efficient mufflers.
The latest noise an.tidote which has
been introduced in the Chalmers, fac.
tory is the silence room. After the
motor leaves the tuning department
it goes into one of these four silence
rooms. These com partments are
solidly constructed with tWenty.four-
inch walls. When motor lea"es the
tuning department it. is running as
quietly as well-constrllcted watch.
TO the ear Of the laynlan it is in per-
feet trim. But. the men with the mi.
croneter ears in the silence rooms
have yet to put their y. X. on the
product. In each of the four sound.
proof rooms is dynamOmeter stand
on which the motor is placed. The
one door in the room lis closed and
the inspector spends fifteen minutes
with each motor before deciding as
to its fitness. These, master me-
chanics detect \ the slightest alien
noise instantly, and the motor is
either passed on to the final assem-.
bly, or sent back for further tuning
up according to his decision.
So expert do the Sc men become
that they readily recognize the
slightest proof of mall adjustment and
can put their fingers ION the difficulty
in second. Before they will pass
on a motor it must give the hum OF
perfection" as the men shy.
Such perfect adjustment before the
motor leaves the factory is trouble
saver for the motorst later. He is
assured that all moving parts are
working in harmony. The stiffness !
has all been worked out of the pis- !
tons, the bearings are doing their
work properly. . ~t
The most remarkable feature about
the new SiX.30 motor is its high
speed. Heretofore when engineers
spoke of high motor spe eds they men,
toned 1000 r. p. m. A few did $500.
That was fast work. One reached
5000. The Six-30 at 34]0 r. p. IN. out
speeds them all.
At 1850 r. p. M. on THE dynamOme.
ter test it develops forty.five horse
power
Among the new features which
have been commented on most favor
ably in the new Six-30 Chalmers are
the aluminium pistons. This is one
of the most advanced features in.
stalled recently in stock car. Until
very short time ago aluminium pis.
tons were used exclusively in specil-
ly, built racing cars, but their adapta-
bility to high speed stock motors was
soon discovered by the eVer-watchful
factory engineer.
Although the aluminium pistons
cost five times as much as the iron
piston, it's manifest superiority over
the old type has caused its adoption
by quality makers.
The Chalmers pist0ns are made of
Ignite, new alloy of aluminium, ap-
proximately two.thirds lighter in
weight than iron. By the use of this
alloy the tremendous strain on bear

the state agency for the New Era
car, which is wonderful creation
in the $500 class.
They also retain Mr.. Opdykes con-
tracts and territory for the we'll
known REQ and Maxwell cars. With
this line of cars in Bismarck it is a
foregone conclusion that automobile
dealers and purchasers from all over
the state will be attracted to Bis.
marck in order to place their con-
tracts and purchases for 1916 and
1917.
The fact that such companies as
the ,Stutz, the Madison and New Era
are placing state agencies at Bis.
marck shows that the center of the
automobile business is gradually
moving in the westerly line. We
predict that the automobile sales of
this firm will add sufficient vol
ume of business to the already large
automobile business out of Bismarck,
to place her at the head of the col
umn as distributing center for au.

a large and ever increasing business.

periority is due principally to the
cutting off Of all excess weight in
the chassis. The Oakland improved
design means fewer parts, the use of
carefully selected. metals means light

and sane methods, this car is made to
weigh several hundred pounds less

Just how important part the re-

Effective March the price of the Chalmers Six 40 will be
$45O F. O. B. Detroit This is increase of 500 the
present price made necessary by the sharp rise cost
of raw materials
Aluminium which sold for 19 cents pound only few
months ago, brings SO cents.
Copper has risen from II cents to "a cents
Vanadium steel year ago brought $lS5 pound Now
it sells for $3.50.
High-speed steel formerly $O5 pound, is'worth
$685..
Leather formerly 20 cents foot brings 80 cents

The other to lower the quality
To follow the latter meant zone year. This

Therefore, raise in price the only procedure pos

We regret that an price is necessary, but
feel that other Of automobiles will be forced
either increase the price lower grade OF materials
For possible to buy superior products the open
market at any less price than Chalmers pays
We think it only fair those who have planned pu
chase the Six and have been quoted the $3.50 price, to

,LetsThe I.aC. C. Do It

..
 In every industrial strike there are three parties interested. instead of only the two generally thot of. E The third is the general public withrinterest in the aggregate far in exeessiof those bfraeither of the other parties. Such being the case it would seem very proper: for the third party to be consulted in de- claring a strike and certainly con- suited in the matter of settling a strike. .f .>
 The attitude of railroad corpor- ations in the not distant past, to- wards the third party has been of the s'people be damed"1 character. Time has brot a change, however, and now that a strike of railroad ,employes, of copsiderable magni- tudsf is :; threatened the railroad corporations are asking that the matter be referiedl to that body which particularly represents the third paTy, the Interstate Com merce Commission
 The News believes that the re- quest of the railroad corporation is eminently proper. Such a request should have been made long ago to the end that strikes in the past might have been averted. Not only should the l. C!'tC. be called upon to settle the impending strike. but that or some other public body should forestalI and prevent strikes by an investiga tion of grievances and an adjust -ment of industrial difficulties. With such interest at stake as are those of the third party, the gen. eral public. it is a crime for either of the other parties to precipita,e a strike. They should not be pre- mltted to do 1t. It is. foolish; for either employer or employee to say there is nothing to arbitrate. If either has grievance, there is something to arbitrate and some public agency like the I. c. c. is the proper body to .arbitrate in the interest of the general welfare.

How to Protect The Border

5 Only two ways occur to us to protect Americans. living along the Mexican border from the in- cursions of Mexican banditti with death and robbery incident thereto. Our own government must be free to pursue such mauraders to the limit and pun .ish them or we must instil fear in Mexicans by administering a thoro drubbing. 7. : The former plan would be very stultifying. to the defacto Mexican government and would be resisted in the interest of national dignity. The latter plan would be war.
 Much as we favor peace we believe there can be no peace un- til we have had a trial of strength with Mexico. The hu- mane policy which has been fol- lowed in the hope that the de- facto government of Mexico would finally gain control of the Mexican situation and be able to restrain lawless Mexicans and prevent bandit raids has only tended to impress upon the Mex ican mind the belief that our humanity is craven spirit and Mexicans have been encouraged to increase their raids until con- ditions along the border have be- come intolerable.
 While we do not wish our government to seek an excuse for war, we believe it should take advantage of the first eX- cuse offered and carry war into Mexico with all the energy we possess. Let the war job be a thoro one. The lesson given Mexico should be one not to be forgotten for a generation, at least. Such a lesson would make the border safe and our people of the border states could devel- ope their various industries iin border territory in perfect secur- ity. - 5:t.:5@3i.r =f:

Liquor Trade Hopes to Profit

| -'% ~->~>'N'- i. That the liquor trade hopes to
 profit from the recent court de-
 cision which makes it mandatory
 on the part of transportation
 companies to carry liquors in tended for individual 4consump-
 ton, is very evident. Every kind
 of list is being consulted to get the names of possible customers. Newspapers are appealed to to carry ads intended to increase the trade in liquors. The mails are burdened with circulars and personal letters bringing individ- ual attention to the opportunities to get a supply of wet goods. A few newspapers are falling for the advertising proposition and liquor ads are now found in their columns. Among them the News has noticed the Northern sAri- 'zona Leader, of Flagstaff.
 Some individuals will, doubt less, take advantage of the op-. portunity to secure intoxicants which this court decision has made possible. The effect of the decision will be to stimulate boot logging and general law viola tion. The decision has made it plain that more legislation is needed to make prohibition effect i've.

National Guardsman's Dilemma

No doubt it would have been the proper thing for a member of the National Guard to resign when the conditions of his life had changed and become su;h that he could not respond to the call of service with out injury to those who had become dependent on h1m. He did not, however, and when the call came he refused to respond. claiming that his duty was first to wife and children who would be left without support in his absence,
 We shall sympathize with this. guardsman. We shall feel as he does that he is not being justly dealt with when he is judged a deserter and threatened with pun ishment for denying the call to the colors. r. Others quite as fit as he to serve remain at home to pursue peaceful occupations and the op- portunities for advancement which they bring. Others quite as fit as he to serve can continue to care for the dear ones dependent on them while he, should he go, must en-. dure the narrowing thot that his dear ones are suffering for the necessaries of life in his absence. He feels as shall we that tue gov ernment which asks of him so great a sacrifice should be responsible for the proper care of hls depend- ents.

 For several years now the railroad corporations of kourscountry have been-reaping Whfrlwind harvest for which they prepared, by -wind-i sowing some quarter of a century. ago. The attitude of such cofper-:: ations toward the public was we'll expressed by one of.the Vanderbilts, when he said in answer. to public, complaint of railroad extortion "The people be damned. ". The policy of railroad corporations bold ly declared by them, was to so conduct the railroad business that their patrons would be taxed all the traffic would bear. This
 policy of the railroad corpol ations and the grating of railroad officials off from both the general public and corporation stockholders have created a prejudice which it is hard to live down, hence it is that there is no public sympathy for railroad corporations when they plead that their burdens are greater than they can bear. ,.. .3 s...45e

The Mailed Fist, Not the Gloy-
 ed Hand

We honor the impulses of Pres ident Wilson's heart which cause him to procrastinate in the matter of waging war on Mexico. He has a horror of war with its dreadful consequences. He would try every possible means consistent with national honor to avert war.
 But We must think that in the case of Mexico the President IS simply wasting time. There will be no appreciation of ,hissmotives in Mexico. Such motivey do not appeal to Mexicans. They, respect the mailed fist but not the, gloved hand. They may /, be, driven by fear but they, can not be: led by love.
