The Coming OF. a
GREAT ENGINE


Men who drive cars arc 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 high7gradc gas.
For the moment, and possibly for all
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 Whereabouts, it shows
Mere pouer More rapid aeceleraaon
Greater economy Greater length of life
Greater snoothness
ind an amasinq ability to start quickly on
cold dag, and TO "eo0,n, ab ,oithoat delay.
The Chalmers engine is 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 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 docs
not become completely mixed with the air.
Ibis 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

SAYS SUBS MAY WIN

American people have conception of the serious of the present phase of the war; according to w. C. Gilbert the Washington correspondent for the New York Tribune, who recently penned the following:
 "The people of this country have no idea how near they are to losing the war.
 Besides threatening to StaWe England the German submarine aims to gain control of the by attacking the fuel supplies of the Allied naves Fuel is to navy what food is to people, Every time Germany sinks an oil tanker she strikes blow as serious when she sinks food ship.
 "The Allied navies are living from hand to mouth so far as fuel oil supplies are concerned The French and Italian naves practically tied up in their ports for lack of fuel No naval activity is ndulged in than is ab SOlutely necessary The United States has bigger and important task upon its hands than to keep the AL lied naves supplied with fuel oil until such time the submarine is overcome Confidence expressed here that this duty be fulfilled But the gravity of the case is appalling.

 News from Anchorage that the branch line to the coal fields will be completed through to Chckaloon within the next two weeks is encouraging.
 Concentration of effort on Turnagain Arm for the next ninety days will work wonders
 Even though it can be produced in small quantities ony during the coming winter every ton of fuel that be mined will aid that much in winning the war.

Soap an Antiseptic,

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases in
recent years. are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
terment of conditions not to medical
science, but to the increased use of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with a clean
house and clean person no one need
have much fear Of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says: :
Soap is now recognized to be anti
septic and to be etficaciOus must pro-

soap or dropped on it's surface are in
capable of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being

number will die in a minute. The
thorough use of pure potash soap is
not only mechanical method of cleans
ing. but is an active favor in cutting

There will be two fashionable Sill
houettes this spring. The slim silhou-
cite, with its straight clinging lines
will continue to be first in favor, as it
has been all through the winter, but
the new barrel skirt will give women d
chance to indulge in the bouffant effect
which will, doubtless, be welcomed by
those who have complained of being
tired of the eternal straight line.
True to it's name, the new silhouette
is in the outline of a barrel, bullying at
the hips and drawn in at the waist and
ankles. There are many ways of ac-
complishing this puffiness over the
hips. One is by the clever draping of
the material at the waistline somewhat
after the fashion of the "peg-top''
skirts that were used some years ago.
This type of barrel skirt is shown in

The Rubber Situation.

We as people are almost absolutely
dependent on Great Britain for our
supply of crude rubber. as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos
sibilities for making us independent Of
any other country for our crude rubber
supply. One is plant called guayule.
which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised in Mexico.
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. But the largest field
seems to be the Philippine Islands.
where plantation rubber can be pro-
duced cheaply and well. Capital has
held off. owing to the uncertain future
of these islands. but local conditions
there are ideal for large rubber in
dustry.-Andrew FL. King in Metallur-
gical and Chemical Engineering.

ideas are noticed in the developments
of these materials. On suit Of gold
colored silk jersey, black velvet was
used for the collar and for a band at
the lower edge of the coat. Some
suits of rajah silk are trimmed with
stenciling in attractive color combin-
ations. The stenciling is done On the
fronts of the coats or only on the belts
just enough to furnish some contrast.
This is one of the newest trimming
ideas.
In spite of the great vogue for col
ors in all the brightest hues and in all
manner of combinations, a great deal
of black and white is used. When clev-
erly handled, this combination is al
ways attractive, and it is agin very
fashionable in Paris and New York.
Solid black and white checked mate
rails with rather large checks are con-
sidered smart for coats, both for the
long separate coats and for shorter
coats to be worn with white serge
skirts.
The Importance of Ribbons
Ribbons are coming in for great
deal of prominence this season. They
are not used only for small accessories
such as girdles and collars, but have
become much more important and
have been employed for parasols and
hats. Very wide striped ribbons COM
bining three or more harmonizing COL
ors have been used very effectively to
make parasols and to cover the entire
crown and top of the brim of light
weight straw hats for sports wear.
Matching parasols, hats and hand
bags made Of ribbon or the pretty fig
ured silks, are seen over and over
again.
Narrow grosgrain ribbon is en-
ployed in rows, one overlapping the
other, to cover the crowns and brims
of some hats. Sometimes two colors
are used alternately. The brim of a
white panama hat was covered in this
way with old gold and dark green
ribbon, only the crown remaining in
view to tell that the hat was pana-
ma. An idea for remodeling your last
years panama, you will, no doubt,
think! Another panama was faced
with black velvet under the brim and
the crown draped with black and white
silk with a tassel placed at on side.
