alike. Also, there was a brisk
breeze cool one-which
picked up the dust from the dia-
mond and swept it in all directions;
but most of it was deposited upon
the countenances of the crowd.
The way our team throws away
opportunities and kicks away
games is sad thing to contem-
plate. Most of the teams errors
are of the commission variety and
they are simply inexcusable. The
base running verges on the ridicu-
lous. 1t is time the boys realized
that such methods of playing
make the team a laughing stock.

The Coming of a
GREAT ENGINE
1t Makes High P0zCer Out of L0zO Grude Gas

A new manifold, termed The Kains-
horn" has been constructed OF simple pip
ing. 1t is on the exterior OF the engine. IL
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 II came
from the carburetor.
What is termed 'hot plate is built IT
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 sclen-
tifically. and then passes around the easy
curves of the smooth manifold in a perfect
state of mixture and at the proper tcmpera-
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-faStcr and
on land, sea or air.
solid day OF bitter, brutal speed will ind it.
2. There are over LOCO Chalmers
containing this engine now In use. lhey
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.

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 tor all
time, multi-cyindcrS, 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

1t is Chalmers.

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 tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder i 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 marifod h" been COM
pletey eliminated.
