Want to Beat the High Cost
Of Operating an Automobile?

The average motorist, who is con-
stantly complaining about the high
cost of operating his car, probably
does not stop to consider that he is
largely responsible for such a condi-
ton. He would do we'll to study the
problem and see if there are not ways
and means of effecting a saving OF
gasoline, oil, tires and lessening the
general wear and tear on the car.
After Is years of experience in the
automobile business, B. w. Twyman,
has picked out some of the more i'm
portant causes of the high cost OF
motoring which can be overcome by
each individual.
"The motorist who has his car at
his door practically all of the time,
and who jumps in and uses it to run
100 yards down the street. or on quar-
ter or half mile trips to execute little
household errands, or deliver mes
sages, must realize that such driving
can produce nothing but waste and
high cost of depreciation" says Mr..
Twyman.
with gasoline soaring as 1t has
lately, it behooves every driver to cut
out short trips. It is said that the
biggest expense in running train 10
the starting and stopping. The same
is true of an automobile, and the larg'
er the car the more expensive it is to
start and stop it.
ut is on the long journeys that the
motor car scores. It scores over the
bicycle and all other forms of loco
motion in speed and in avoidance OF
fatigue over long distances.
again, economy can be effected by
an amendment of driving methods.
Tire economy is secured by moderate
driving, by careful starting and stop
ping and by close scrutiny of the road.
Drivers who are in the habit Of speed
ing up between street intersections
and slowing down abruptly at the
street crossings are abusing their
tires.
"A maximum of Is miles. per hour,
when such speed is permissible, is
judicious driving. Perfect control OF
every adverse circumstance without
injury to the passengers, tires or
mechanism can be maintained if this
speed is never exceeded. 1t has very

go fast, but it takes a good one to
run slowly.
Speed is the little demon that
causes more trouble between manu-
facturer, dealer and owner than any
other cause.
"In regard to fuel, much saving can
be made by every owner. What causes
the heavily travelled city streets to
be shiny with oil? AS much as it may
crafty the oil companies to see their
product covering the pavements, still
the fault for such a condition can be
laid at the door Of the owner
IF the car is at fault for oil waste
the owner should lose no time in see
ing that the proper parties adjust mat
tiers. A look under the hood of most
cars will show you the cause for so
much oil being wasted.
Careful study of this point shows

The Coming of a
GREAT ENGINE
1t Makes High P0zver Out of Lozv Craze Gas

A new manifold, termed 1.-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
buretor hits the hot plate the dimensions
of which have been worked out very scien-
tifically, and then passes around the easy
curves of the smooth manifold in perfect
state of mixture and at the proper tempera-'
ture 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
farther than anyone ever before had Travelled
on land, sea or air.
If there's flaw in pattern, or part, a
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 Motor
Company, has put it's 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 Robesonian. [volume] (Lumberton, N.C.) 1870-current, 1917-11-08

Men who drive cars are face to face with
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, multi-cylinders, 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 lone 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
Compared with other engines of the
same size or therea bouts, it shows:
More boqver More rapid acceleration
Greater smoothness
And an a1na&ing ability to start quickly on
q cold day, and to "q0arm nb q0ithout 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 it's 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.

Constitutional Amendments
Are Planned to Relieve
Court COngestions.
(By United Press)

Sacramento, March PA series
CT proposals for amendments to the
state constitution that will work a
great change in the judicial system
cf California and materially affect
the rules Of practice before the
courts, have been introduced.
These measures are intended to
rake effective the recommendations
cf the special committee of the legis-
lature appointed to investigate the
causes for congestion of court dock
cts and suggest remedy. Senator
w. E. Kehoe, chairman of that COM
mittee, made the report, setting out
five recommendations. One of these
was to provide for two new divisions
OF the appellate court; one for the
codification of the rules of practice
under the supervision of the supreme
court; a third for a commissioner of
justice to be appointed by the gov
ernor and the chief justice of the
supreme court and who is to make
a comprehensive survey of the courts
and report suggestions and recon-
annually. A fourth rec
ommendation is for the institution Of
courts to have exclusive
jurisdiction with superior courts in
cases not involving title to real es-
tate and. where the amount in con-
troversy is less than $1,000.
These subordinate courts are to be
established in townships, counties, cit
les and counties and incorporated cit
les and towns having more than 150,-
coo population.
The numerous appeals from coun-
ties in all parts of the state for ad-
ditional judges and the condition of
the court calendars, which show the
courts to be sometimes years behind
with their work, was one of the
things that led to the appointment of
the special committee.
Bills already have been passed by
the legislature increasing the num-
Ter of superior judges in half a doz-
IN counties.

Baby Week Is to Be Observed

Mothers with delicate children are
selected as preferences. A general
in this campaign is ex-
pected to guarantee success.
Sunday, April will be observed at
Baby Day in the local churches. Du-
ring the week meetings will be held
at the Christian church. There will
be talks on Baby Feeding and vari-
GUS diseases. These will be given by
we'll known physicians. Baby meas
urements will be taken at the church
for all tots over six months and un-
der three years, provided they reside
in the Ell Centro school district. The
measurements will be made by ply
sicians according to national stand
ard. :" ,'
On Saturday afternoon at the Pak
ace theatre Manager James Cook will
provide a program especially for the
children. Mr.. Cook has generously
offered to donate percentage of the
receipts to aid in defraying the ex-
penses incurred during Baby Week.
Imperial Valley press., 1917-03-24

During the first week of April Ell
Centre will hold it's annual Baby
Campaign as recommended by the
Children's Federal Bureau at Wash
ington. The object of the campaign
is not that of the old fashioned baby
show, where baby beauty confounded
the wits of bachelors and spinsters
who acted as judges. On the con-
trary, the puny type and the worried
mother will be more welcome than
the prize baby and the proud par
ent.
The scrawniest baby will have its
chance to win prize, provided the
mother profits by what she learns
during the week. A prize is to be
given this year to the girl baby who
shows the greatest gain over meas
urements taken last year. A similar
prize will also be awarded in the boy
class.
Baby Week hopes to assist the
mothers in caring for small children.

SMALL DIARIES MUST
CONFORM TO STATUTE

The attention of the county health
department has been called to several
instances where small dairies have
been competing with those concerns
that undergo inspection at the hands
of the deputy county health officers.
The small producer with perhaps from
two to five cows has been selling milk
and cream in Ell Centre without GO
ing to the trouble to provide sanitary
arrangements is required by the
county ordinance and the state laws.
Deputy Health Officer Frank Read
ing stated today that prosecutions
will take place in the event that the
small dairyman does not change his
methods. The state law states plain
ly that all milk offered for sale must
first meet certain requirements and
must also be inspected by health Of
ficers. The penalty for violation is a
fine of $25 or maximum
of $500, with Jail sentence of from
10 days to 60 days.
