New York and Chicago shows twelve
months ago, and Immediately recog

distinction, gained through the use
OF aluminium for motor parts, trans

The substitution of aluminium for
heavier metals marked an epoch in
the history of automobile design, con-
struction and development. Light

sacrifice. OF strength, and with the
elimination of excessive poundage
came an increase in riding comfort
and decrease in operating cost.
The aluminium Marmon appealed to
discriminating motorists. Less than
three months after the initial appear
ance of the car, Marmon distributors
and agents were forced to refuse or
ders and no deliveries were made for
ninety days. Twenty-Five hundred
cars were sold in 1916 There was
market for at least twice that num-

Few changes have been made in
the history-making 1916 model. They
consist of minor details and refine

progressive production. A thermosta-
tic system of control for engine cool
ing and rebound straps have been
added, the windshield altered slightly
to get better rain vision, the rear sea
OF the touring car made deeper and
more comfortable, and the starting
and lighting system slightly refined.

Realizing that by actually showing
sedan type of car and by demon
strating its all-year-round features,
more can be done toward having this
type of car widely adopted than can
be accomplished in any other way,
officials Of the Chalmers company in
structed each dealer and distributor
to drive sedan through every city
and town in his territory. In this
way, it was felt, prospects may ac-
tually see the cars themselves instead
of having to be told about them.
Up to. the present time the use OF
sedans has been restricted prcttv
much to the larger cities. In the
towns and country increasing num-
bers of them are to be seen. the rea-
son of their comparative scarcity in
the past being that residents there
have not had the merits of the all
weather cars brought properly to
their attention. Much interest prom
ises to be centered in this pioneering
effort OF the Chalmers dealers.

There will be no federal inquiry into the
report that farmers of Oklahoma are
feeding wheat to their ,hogs, De Forest
Piazzek, vice-president OF the federal
wheat corporation and agent for the
federal food administration, declared
here today.
Cases Believed Few.
"The government believes these cases

to hogs at this time of the year when
the corn supply is at its lowest point,
is a practice which has been prevalent
for many years" Mr.. Piarzek asserted
Within a week to ten days the
country will see the naturalization OF
one of the largest corn crops OF years
which will materially reduce the price
OF the grain and make its use as a feed
again possible and practical.
Wheat Cheaper Than Corn.
