He Didn't Start That Little Fuss.

A Kansas editor, O. w. Weaver OF
the Sedgwick Paragraph, recently
raised the price Of his paper from 81
to Fl. so year, and in replying to some
complaint heard about the change. says:
"You may be Of the opinion that the
paper isn't worth Sl.50. Neither is Il
gallon of gasoline worth q cents. nor
eight pounds Of sugar worth 81, nor a
pound of veal worth 80 cents, nor a
bushel of corn worth 81, but these are
the prices the people are paying Po-
tatoes are retaiied at 81 per bushe and
SOW bosom at % cents a pound. So
don't get mad at us. Goodness knows.
we didn't start that fuss in Europe.
Newspaper publishers in America are
forced to pay total of more than thir-
ty-siX millions of dollars this year ow-
ing to the high price OF paper.

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
of which have been worked out very scien-
tlflcally, 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.
lhe case OF this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
l. On August l 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 its o. K. on this engine.
and accordingly ly on the Chalmers car.
~ 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 P02Oer Out of Loz0 Craze 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-
clining 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'a
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes high power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thereaboutS, it shows:
More bO0Cer More rapid accele,ation
Greater economy Greater length of life
Greater Sm00thness
44nd an amasing ability 10 start Quickiy on
cold day, and TO "1Oarm UP qUith0nt delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is SO good.
In many engines of the moment the pas
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 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.
