the village constable one day, hitting
him heavily on his helmet.
The perpetrator of the outrage es,

closely the missile which had struck
him, the constable remembering hav.

Of house, whose youthful occupant
he forthwith charged with the assault.

A 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 after it came
from the carburetor.
What is termed ''hot plate" is built in
at. the top of the throat of the carburetor so
that the gas coming straight up from the car
buretor hits the ''hot plate, the dimensions
tifically, and then passes around the easy
state of mixture and at the proper temPera-
ture to each of the cylinders.
The case of this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
l. On August and 2, Joe Dawson
drove Chalmers equipped with this same
engine 1898 miles in "a hours faster and
farther than anyone ever before had Travelled
on land, sea or air.
If there's flaw in pattern, or part,
solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it. 7
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 Motor
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
for Chalmers.

The Coming OF. a
GREAT ENGINE
1t Makes High PO1ver Ont of L0ao Grade Gas

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-
Ginning grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-grade gas.
For the moment, and possibly for all
time, multl-Cyl1nderS, 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
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
gas.
Compared with other engines of the
same size or Whereabouts, it shows:
More bOOCer More rapid acceleration
Greater economy Greater length ofkJe
Greater smOOthnsSs
Ind an Gwasi1g ability to start quickly on
cold day, and to "Uarm up 0OfthOHt delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is so good.
, In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder through a tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it 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.
