had TO wrestle with new and unknown
conditions and has always found a
way out.
Being n new industry, there Oft
times were no precedents for it to fol-
low and il has been repeatedly obliged
to devise ways and means TO meet new
conditions. Moreover, the demand for
its product thrust the industry at once
into quantity production and made
necessary quick dction and quick de-
cision. That is one of the reasons
why everybody has taken such an In
terest in the automobile business
they like to watch the fellows that do
things.
"1he transportation problem has
always been full of veXatious situa-
tons and there seems to be no end to
them. But at no time have they been

straining every resource to move their
product.
"The rarest visitor to automobile
plants these days is the automobile
freight car that was built especially
to handle automobiles. They have
been diverted TO move government
supplies and the country's food prod
ucts. CSmall box cars, flat cars and
similar equipment are being used, but
there is not enough of them.
who would ever think of loading
automobiles with their front ends
sticking up in the air? Yet that is
just what the Oldsmobile traffic de-
partment is doing. They take a flat
car and build a heavy frame work
around it about feet high of 6x6
timbers. There are heavy cross men,
bers at the top of this frame into
which the front wheels of the auto
mobile rest while the hind wheels rest
on the floor and carry most of the
weight
THE Oldsmobile Is then loaded
under its own power, being driven up
on skids at almost a 40-degree grade.
When the front wheels drop into
place, the car rests at an angle of
about 33 degrees. 1t is then securely
anchored and covered with heavy
canvas. When the loading Is conn
pleted. ii looks something like four
circus elephants standing with their
forelegs on one another's backs.
obviously, a car must have power
and stamina, and brakes must be alb
solutely. dependable to load them in
this manner Labor is scarce and this
operation takes four times as long to
load machine as ordinary loading.
The material and lumber expense is
considerable. But ii enables four ma
chimes to be shipped in the space for

industry is doing more to conserve

CHALM H0T-SPOT
STARTS IN II SECONDS
This Attachment Reinforced by
the Rams Horn Manifold
Given Severe Test.

A gas explosion in five seconds; a
perfect start in II seconds land stand
ing exposed over Is hours in a tenn
perature that averaged eight degrees
above zero. is the brief summary OF
tn latest cold weather starting
achievement of the remarkable Chal-
mers hot-spot. Choosing one OF the
coolest December nights in recent
vars, an ordinary fiye-passenger Chal-
mers was left standing at the curbing
of the Detroit Athletic club, one OF the
coldest corners in the factory city, on
the night of December 10. At half
past i'm the morning. the starting
test was begun under the supervision
of j. T.. Schipper, technical represen-
tative of Motor Age, in the presence
of the following automobile editors or
New York newspapers Allan. Tele-
gram; Doneker, Herald; King Times;
Severn, Globe Burkett, Telegraph,
and Art Winter, well known motorist
of Detroit.
Before the observers, huddled and
shivering in heavy winter coats, had
realized the test was fairly under way
the engine had warmed up and within
three and one-naU minutes from tHe
time of first depressing the starting
lever, carburetlon was perfect, that is.
the car was accelerating as we'll as
tho II had been running all day.
Outside of the many features at
tached to the wonderful start, and the
cold weather acceleration, an added
item OF significance to the automobile
owner is the fact that the gasolTe
used in the test was even inferior TO
the average low grade gasoline of the
present day The gas used had an
end point of 4S4 degress-that is, on
analysis by the Detroit testing labora-,
tory showed 1t did not all evaporate
until It had obtained "a temperature of
4S4 degrees. The end point adopted
as standard by the city OF Detroit is
450 degrees-that is, "a degrees lower,
so that the laboratory test showed the
gasoline used was much poorer than
average fuel and contained heavy
run of common kerosene.
Tho Schipper, chief observer. testi-
fled that the car was carbureting per-
fectly at the end of three and one-half
minutes, the Vnotometer gauge had not
begun TO RISE and the water in the
radiator had not warmed to an ap-
preciable degree. thus denying the en-

gine customary warmth. Despite this
apparent handicap, the Chalmers hot
spot and Ramshorn manifold were
fnnctioning properly and setting at de
fiance the rule of the ordinary engine
which demands thoro warmth before
perfect carburetion is possible.

Austrian Held in Army
Federal Court Refuses to Aid
Minor Who Enlisted

CLEVELAND, Aug. 10. - Federal
Judge Westenhaver to-day denied a
writ of habeas corpus asked by John
Hackenburg, of Akron, a member or
the 9Th Ohio Infantry.
Judge Westenhaver held that an Aus
trian alien can volunteer for service.
Hackenburg, under arrest at Akron,
asked the court to compel the author
tiles to grant him his freedom from
Imprisonment and from service on the
grounds that he is an Austrian alien
and is under twenty-oue.
Judge Westenhaver said Hackenburg.

Westenhaver also ruled that the fact
that Hackenburg refused TO take the
Federal oath would not prevent mill
itary authorities from requiring him to
60 abroad with his regiment, inasmuch
a. he had taken a similar oath when
the regiment was called out for Mexi-
can border duty.
He is held for court martial on
charge of insubordination for refusing

Wilson Tells Troops
To Read the Bible

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-Bibles for
American soldiers and sailors, to be
given by the Scripture Gift Mission. Of
Philadelphia, will carry the following
foreword by President Wilson:
"The Bible is the word of life.
beg that you will read it, and find this
out for yourselves read, not little
snatches here and there, but long pas
sages that will really be the road to
the heart of u.
you will find it not only full of
real men and women, but also of things
you have wondered about and been
troubled about all your life, as men
have been always; and the more you
read the more il will become plain to
you what things are worth while and
what are not; what things make men
happy-loyalty, right dealing, speak
ing the truth, readiness 70 give every
thing for what they think their duty,
and, most of all, the wish that they
may have the real approval Of the
Christ, who gave everything for them;
and the things that are guaranteed
TO make them unhappy seiiishness,
cowardice, greed and everything that is
low and mean.
when you have read the Bible you
will know that it is the Word of God,
because you will have found II the key
to your own heart. your own happiness
and your own duty.

Nearly 100000 Men
Selected for New
Army, Poll Shows

At least one-third of the National
Army which is called to the colors by
the first draft is ready to take the
field to-day, according to preliminary
returns obtained from a nationwide
poll which The Tribune is conducting
by telegraph.
Reports from seventeen scattered
and representative states indicate that
their exemption boards have certified
for service a third. and in many cases
more than a half, of their respective
quotas.
Chicago has already picked 65 per
cent Of its fighting force, and the rest
of Illinois is not far behind. Utah re-
ports 80 per cent ready to go, and par
tial returns from Pennsylvania indi-
cate that half the quota has been filled
there.
The fact that the young manhood Of
the nation is sound to the core is
demonstrated by the extremely low
number of exemptions granted for
physical disability. In most states
which have reported, between 70 and
so per cent of those of draft age have
been found TT for service.
The youth of the nation, however, is
apparently reluctant to enter upon the
road to martial glory. The proportion
of claimed exemptions among those
physically fit varies considerably, but
in a majority of the reports 1t hovers
around the 70 per cent mark. All
states indicate, however, that this fig
ure will be cut when the exemption
boards begin to consider individual
cases.
