The Coming OF a
GREAT ENGINE
1t Makes High P01ver Out of Lo1v Grade Gas

\ new manifold, termed THE Rams-
horn, has been constructed OF simple pip
ing. 1t is on the exterior of the engine. 1t
is a manifold of easy curves so that there
are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge
against and be pushed into the cylinders.
The next development was to give the
gas the proper amount of heat aftc< it came
from the carburetor.
What is termed hot plate" is built in
at the top OF the throat of the carburetor 50
that the gas coming straight up from the car
buretor hits the hot plate, the dimensions
of which have been worked out very scien-
tfically, and then passes around the easy
curves Of the smooth manifold in perfect
state of mixture and at the proper tempera-
eure to each of the cylinders.
The case of this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
/. On August and 2, Joe Dawson
drove Chalmers equipped with this same
engine 1898 miles in "a hours-faster and

solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it.
2. There are over 1000 Chalmers
containing this engine now in use. They
check up past all expectations.
Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com.
pany, which has leased The Chalmers Mooot
Company. has put its o.. K. on this engine.
and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
90 per cent OF any automobile IS the
engine; and no Car can be bit better than
its engine.
So you are safe in writing your check

Men who drive cars are face to face with
a condition that becomes more and more
serious each day.
That condition is the constantly de-
clining grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment, and possibly for all
time, multi-cyllnders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
"gas problem.
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make zone drop of gas now do
the work Of two"
Just as great situations produce great
men, so out Of this condition has come a
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or therea bouts, it shows:
More bouer More rapid accsleration
Grsater economy Greater length ofHe
Greater smo0thness
lind an amazing ability TO start quickly on
. cold day, and to "avarn VI" without delay.
The Chalmers engine is simple one.
That is one reason why it is 50 good
In many engines Of the moment the gas
passes on it's way from the carburetor TO the
cylinder through tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder il is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completely mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been com.
pletely eliminated.

Purple the Color of Cematis, Wistaria, And Violet

Purple is a good color TO live with.
because it is borrowed from nature.
Il is borrowed from the color that
lies in the folds of distant hills and
along the far horizon. Il is the col
or OF clematis and wistaria. of the
iris. the violet. and the pansy of
grapes. Of plums and blackberries,
and of a thousand other accustomed
and beautiful things. Purple is a
color which does not improve for
being neutralized by the admixture
Of much gray or white in the dye.
Pure, strong shades are best, and a
perfect multiplicity of purple tones
may be mingled in one room. Speak
ing generally, puppies are more
lovely when the blue tone predomi-
mates over the red. The blue pur-
pie can be used in large masses, be
cause it's tendency is toward efface-
ment. As evening comes on and the
light decreases. the purple or violet
shades tone down and lose them
selves in shadow, but in sunlight, or
clear daylight, purple glows, and is
often at its best. 1t is indeed de-
lightful for everything but wall pa
per. 1t lacks. as wall paper, the
very qualities which give il such eX-
cessive charm as drapery, and are
due to its depth and changefulness
A purple wall consumes light and
makes a room somber, and besides
seems fat and lifeless, while or
cushions or as furniture covering, OF
! curtains, it is particularly responsive
to the changing light. Purple, in
fact, has moods.
The Persians use it in company
with true turquoise blue and deer

room is quickly exchanged for one
where the coloring allows the eye

Of orange or red.
The introduction INTO a modern
room. which is already principally
purple, of lemon yellow or orange,
splendid as these colors are in
themselves, is apt to prove fatal to
the repose Of the room and often
throws the entire scheme beyond re-
call. Beyond recall seems an arbit-
rary way of stating the case, yet il
is true one, because the eye so
often loses its quest while rioting
among wrong tones, and does rot
always succeed in discovering the
secret Of the mischief and casting
out the offender.

Candy Recipes

teaspoonful Of vanilla and one cup
OF chopped walnut meats. Drop

milk and a speck OF salt. When IL
spins a thread, take IL off the fire
and add one tablespoon OF peanut
butter "a little more, II very
strong nutty flavor is desired). Beat

Cfetonnes Used In
Many Useful Ways

Cretonne still holds its place
among stuns for household appoint
ments. and the displays this season
are charming Among the novel
ties are the circular work baskets in
many patterns and colors, 20 ht in
with the general scheme Of the
room or department for which the
article is made.
These are easy 20 make. and the
patterns are so pretty and the col
ors so varied In the cretonne that
one can wander in fancy in the
woods and fields, led there by the
wOodsy rural patterns on the ia
brics Two circular pieces are cut
out, about a foot in diameter. In
the center OF one, fasten a circle of
pasteboard about three or four in
ches IN diameter, for the bottom of
the basket Now line these pieces
with some colored silk that tones in
or contrasts with the colors in the
patterns. according to the effect de-
sired. Turn in the edges, and stitch
pasteboard bottom TO secure il in
its place. Catch the edges of the
two pieces OF faced cretonne to-
gether. the facings in. at intervals Of
about three inches. From these
points stitch diagonally 70 the CEN
ter, il you desire the pockets to be
triangular. or straight down, and
across, II you wish them square.
Double stitching will make them
stronger ." At the corners of
the pockets fasten little brass rings:
through these pass a ribbon which
harmonizes in color with the pat
tern. Pull these up.
Some other new shapes are worth
describing. One is a shield-shaped
bag of cretonne, the handles fasten-
ed at the point OF the top, giving a
peculiar shape to the article. These
are cut out and faced as the bas-
kets were. Bags OF every descrip-
ton and or every purpose can be
made. and so varied are the designs
in the material and the color that.
from kitchen TO bedroom, their use
is legion. one bag for crochet work
is made by joining two semi-circu-
lar pieces OF cretonne. with shir-
red strip OF the same. In the side
of one piece, insert a ring through
which the yarn or silk being used
may pass, thus insuring against
dropping the ball. The handle is
long enough TO pass over the wrist
Perhaps one of the most helpful
devices is the dolly roll. one may
have rolls even for the small place
doilies. and these are not difficult to
make. A large roll Of cardboard
glued together and covered with one
end of the yard-wide and yard OF
more length OF cretOnne, will make
IL. Then the edges are bound with
ribbon or tape. Within is fastened
10 the lower edge OF the roll, next
TO the cretonne. some japanese pa
per 20 keep the dOilies from soiling
or crocking from the cretonne. The
ends OF the tape or ribbon, with
which the whole is bound, serve e
tie up the roll. Any size may b,
made 10 the width Of the dolly fol
which II is made. Blotting paper
can be used for the roll. or any ma
terial that lends itself to the pur
pose OF keeping the dolly un.

in afternoon Frock

DAY something new is brought to the
attention; a certain material sudden
ly rises into prominence, a new way
of draping skirt is devised, and
sundry novel accessories appear up
on the scenes and are quickly taken
up with enthusiasm.
In opposition to the frocks that
are absolutely straight in line. there
are many ways Of draping skirts to
give that slight puffiness about the
hips which is now one of the accept
ed modes in the dressier type of
frock for afternoon and evening
wear. one OF the latest ways is by
gathering the straight lower section
of "A skirt 10 a yoke. and leaving the
sides free 10 form looped draperies
which fall very gracefully into posi-
tiOn when the soft pliable materials
are used. An illustration OF this
charming style IS shown in the
sketch. The dress is OF pongee trim
med with narrow bands Of ribbon.
The waist OF this costume is made
with kimOnO sleeves of the loose,
baggy type, the kind that were in
fashion some time ago. The unusual
N-shaped collar and fiaring cuffs add
the note OF distinction which all
such simple styles require.
Sometimes long. straight TUNES or
apron effects take the place OF drap-
cries in frocks Of silk. chiffon or
georgette. A beautiful dress OF
white satin for a bride was made
with a long pleated apron OF fine
white net edged with white glass
beads The transparent glass beads
are now being used for the bead
work. which is strongly in evidence.
Ginghams For Summer Suits and
Dresses.
Bright. Colorful ginghams in very
fine qualities have risen into prom
inence and are used in fashiOning
not only separate blouses and skirts
but also entire summer dresses and
suits In making suits, the latest
fad has been 10 combine gingham
with pongee and other sports silks
A skirt Of gingham is used with a
silk coat which has the collar and
cuffs and sometimes, rockets OF

but distinctly effective when one
gets used TO the ideal In other in
stances, plaid and plain ginghams
are used to make the popular MILDLY
dresses with slip-over blouses and
pleated skirts. With the plaid used
FOR the skirt and TO trim the blouse,
a dress of this kind is exceedingly
attractive for summer wear. Cling
hams are crisp and cool and may al
ways be kept looking fresh.
The separate skirt of plaid or

white wolfe and batiste waists. is al
SO a pleasing novelty for summer.
The skirts are sometimes made with
belts of silk in some bright color
matching one of the colors in the
plaid or stripes as the case may be.
Smart Bingham blouses are trimmed
with white pique collars and cuffs.
and buttonholes bound with the

coats keep rising i'm popularity. They
are especially smart in costumes Of
