STOCK CHALMERS
 OKLAHOMA STUNT
 BREAKS RECORDS

A Chalmers four passenger stock touring car, driven by Joe Dawson, smashed the record between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, on Friday. November 23, and the day and the date only added to his speed The Chalmers covered the distance in three hours and 2S15 minutes, in spite of the condi- tion of the road, due a protracted dry spell, which left it little better than country road. The best previous rec ord was five hours, made when the road was in much better shape. Bound ing over the ruts and the dust holes and poor bridge approaches, Dawson covered the 130 miles at an average of over 37 miles an hour In order that there might be no dispute and in order to set a standard for any future att temptS, the driver was checked out of Oklahoma City by Charles W. Boggs of the Oklahoman and checked into Tulsa by o. E.~Shannon of the Tulsa World both of whom made affidavits to this effect.
 The motor wise said that the trip could not be made under six hours and tried to persuade Dawson not to at tempt the trip, but the driver seemed 
 enough and fast enough to stand the terrific pounding to which it would be subjected. The trip takes on added interest when it is known that 1t was made with the same four passenger Chalmers that made the record from San Antonio to Dallas, 303 miles, in 6 hours 55 minutes and 40 seconds and from Galveston to Dallas, 35l miles, in hours 30 minutes, few weeks ago. The motor used was the one with which all Chalmers are now equipped containing the hot spot and ramshorn manifold, making it possible to attain maximum efficiency imme diately. in spite of the cold weather An ordinary grade of gasoline was used. but so well is it yaporiZed and so quickly does it reach the cylinders from the carburetor that no energy is lost and no unconsumed gas remains to run down into the crank case, as is the case with so many motors, not equipped with the Chalmers perfec-

THE EXPERT DRIVER

One of the most eXasperating pests in automobiledom is that big little man the "expert" driver, observes a writer in the current issue of American Mo- torist. Continuing, the writer says:
 Speaking of him, we do not think of the painstaking mechanic who, by dint of study and experience gained in actual practice, familiarizes himself with motor cars until he is able to obtain from them maximum service with a minimum necessity for repair and adjustment; him we would call the expert motorist.' But we have in mind the fellow who is an expert 'driver,' nothing else.
 Tt is almost needless to say that since the exhibition Cf stunts in driv- ing is apt to be an expensive habit, the expert driver is rarely found among the owners. Usually he has graduated from the Washstand in a garage, while sometimes he is a spec.men or the so- called natural born mechanical spe- cies that neither mechanical prograss nor scientific training seems to have been able to exterminate
 Tt is the expert driver who is chiefly responsibility for the animosity of the pedestrian against tfrc motorist. It is he who scares old ladies into mysteries while bearing down upon them with a rush, only to clap on his brakes with a bang and bring his car to a stop half an inch from the pedestrians shin.
 If you want to watch him, stand in front of a busy garage for a while and you will have ample opportunity to ob- serve his doings. He will come out of the garage at full tilt, clear the oppo- site curb by ripping the steering gear around with all his might and disappear
Arizona republican., 1917-12-23

around the next corner in similar fash ion. When he returns he will rush down the block at speed of 50 miles an hour, throw on his brakes some eight or ten feet from the stopping point, and bring his car to halt al- most within its own length; all of which, Of course, looks very clever to the expert driver and costs money for repairs and excessive deterioration to the owner. This sort of driver is the one to whom an open muffler is music in the ears; who imagines himself a miniature Oldfield who would have broken every record had he only been given a chance.
 As to climbing hill on high gear every time, trust your expert driver to do it. Very often he will accomplish it, too, even though the motor knock it's head off, in utter oblivion of the fact that the lower gear ratios are made for hill climbing.
 If you do not drive your car your

CARS JAN bE USED YEAR AROUND WITH
 WONDERFUL CLIMATE

There is a wonderful advantage says MT. Duffy of the Overland Ari- zona Company, fin owning an automo- bile in the Salt River Valley. Here we enjoy three hundred and sixty-five au- tomobile days. Days when the sun is shining and when the temperature is always conducive to a spin in the country that is pleasurable. The city man in delivery work has the same experience, he can use his trucks all the year round, can make his Christ mas deliveries as well as those at the fourth of July and with no more trouble. Take the East, for instance, at this time of the year when nine tenths of the cars are laid up and have been for the past two months. They will stay in storage until the middle of March or April IT however, the car is not laid up it is always one con-
 stant source of grief Anti-freezing solutions are in all radiators. The garage must be heated the same as the house; if the car is left standing for any time in the open it is well nigh impossible to get it going again. Chains are in constant use, not only account of wet and slippery roads but also on account of ice. This causes extra wear and depreciation of the tires. As a matter of fact it costs fully 50 per cent more to efficiently operate an automobile in the winter than in the summer. If the car is laid up it de- preciates just the same. Six months use and six months storage is the usual cry. In Arizona, and especially the Salt River Valley, no such conditions as this are met The investment is the same as in the cast and we get full twleve months use Of our cars. It costs no more to operate them in January than it does in June, no depreciation from storage, no large amount of money tied up in a car for six months of each year with no return. In fact our climate makes this locality favored mobiles. Every day adds to the reali- zation of the people of this locality that above all others for the use of auto today is the day of automobiles ana that life is scarcely worth living with out the lsnefit, the joy, the happiness and the economy obtained only through the power propelled vehicle.">

BOMB GREAT WEAPON
IN EUROPEAN WAR
Hand Grenades, introduced by
Germans, Accepted by All
Warning Nations,
MANY KINDS ARE IN USE

correspondence OF The Associated Press)
With the French Army, Feb. H.
In connection with the importance
attached to the hand grenade and
bomb in trench warfare, it is inter-
esting to note that the FIRST use OF
these weapons in the present war
was by the German forces in the Ar
gonne and in Belgium in December,
1914. The forces employing them
were the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Ger
man corps. 1t was from these corps
that the garrisons of Metz and Strass-
burg were drawn, so that it is proba-
bic that they had been provided with
their bombs from the stocks OF these
fortresses, and trained there in their
employment.
Up to this time the minenwerfer,
which had been studied in Germany
before the war, does not seem to have
been regarded as anything except a
fortress weapon. Its use, however,
in trench warfare, became general on
the German side in January and Feb
ruary, 1915, so that it must have been
manufactured in considerable guam
titles at the end of 1914.
Shrapnel Cases as Weapons,
The French displayed their tradi-
tional powers OF improvisation in the
reply they made to these new weap-
ons. They collected the shrapnel
cases that had been fred by the Ger
man II field gun, of which there
was an abundance. They mounted
the shrapnel cases on wooden stands,
on which they had something OF the
appearance OF toad, whence came
the word "crapouillot," now a general
term for trench mortars, and used it
as a miniature mortar to throw ex-
plosives into the enemy trenches, 1t
was a simple and not ineffective weap-
on, with the great advantage OF being
Supremacy cheap and easy to manu-
facture, Its official name was the
Cellerier, after the artillery captain
who invented it.
In addition to the .Cellerier era
pouillot, a number OF six-iuch NOR
tars were sent to the trenches from
the arsenals, and in March they were
reinforced by complete system OF
scientific trench artillery, including
the admirable observation-disclosures
trench gun.
Many Hand Grenades
Meanwhile the use of hand gren-
AIDES was steadily advancing. The
first grenades available were OF the
most ancient model, fitted with an
exposed time fuse and drawn from
the stocks still preser, siege ma
terial. In February, 1915, the Ger
mans, proiiting by their superior
manufacturing power and their state
of preparedness, were already provid-
ed with offensive grcnadcs, that is,
grenades which either produced no
splinters at all or splnters that car
ried so short distance that the man
who threw them was in no ~danger
even il he was without cover.
At all times, the Germans made use
of two kinds OF grenadcs, the one
consisting of high explosives without
any metal envelope, the other having
a steel envelope in two parts, fitted
together like the shell OF tortoise.
Despite this important material ad.
vantage, which was Of the greatest
value in hand-to-hand fighting, the
Germans failed to make any impress
sion on the French lines during the
spring of 1915, and about July of that
year the French troops were provided
with grenades of both the defensive

China Proposes to Stop the

Correspondence OF Tho Associated Press1
Canton, China, Feb. l2.-Governor
Chun Ching-lan has instructed the

for France. Many thousands Of Can
tonese have already been sent from
Hong Kong to assist the French in

ging and building OF roads behind the

The forcible seizure by the French
