Richmond and Spring Grove WON

Of stories in the daily newspapers and
In the magazines of the country, which
give the impression that the United
States will lose the war;" declared
Miss Elizabeth Foulke, local school
teacher this morning.
Miss Foulke was expressiong the
opinion of hundreds of other persons
in this city and in Spring Grove in
reference to the tactics of some news
papers of the country in spreading the
fear of the country's state of prepared
ness. This. according to Miss Foulke
creates a bad psychological effect on
many persons and should not be toler-
ated.
One instance was pointed out where
an old lady in Spring Grove actually
believed that she would have to take
Up arms to defend the country and ex-
pressed her willingness to do So
This country can easily defeat the
German nation, or any other nation"
Miss Foulke said. 1.-THE fear spreading
stories of the newspapers should be
stopped"

ferred to was the principle of the
least weight for the required
strength.
AS q result Of this gene.al use of
Ignite, Chevrolet's engine weighs
only 400 pounds complete and his
Frontenac cars weigh but 1880
pounds. Chevrolet carries 40 gal
Ions Of gas, 8 gallons Of oil, 6 gal:
Ions Of water, ard 10 pounds Of
grease, bringing the total weight
without driver and mechanician up
to 1874 pounds or about 800 pounds
lighter when fully equipped and
carrying its crew than the average
car in the Chicago race when empty.
The unique feature Of the From
tenac car is that the body is scaled
from the fiywhecl back and that the
rear axle is enclosed in the tail of
the car, giving a perfect stream line
to get away from wind resistance
and prevent the air from backing up
in the tail.
An oil tank is mounted in front Of
the dash and the air that comes
through the radiator passes over this

the crank case. This helps to keep
the oil cool and the free passage Of
air also permits the Use of radiator

with a car ready to race that was
under 2,200 pounds. the other race
drivers shook their heads and said it
would never stand up under the
strain Of the race beca6se of the cx-
tensive use of aluminium in its con-
struction. Louis Wagner with a
similar car won the classic again in
1906. Since then, there has been
great improvement in the production
Of aluminium alloy and the Ignite
that Chevrolet has used in his From
tenac can hardly be compared for
strength and other desirable quail
ties with the aluminium alloys Of ten
or fifteen years ago.

When Chevrolet first brought out
his all-aluminum Frontenac car in
1916 at the Indianapolis race, Barney
Oldfield was one Of those who took
much interest in them and remarked
to newspaper men at that time:
