II Makes High Pozger Ouf Of Logy Crude Gas

A s 81 81
Men who drive cars are face to face with
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-cylind 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 sone drop Of gas now do
the work Of two
Just as great situations produce great
men, 50 out Of this condition has come
great engine.
It is a Chalmers.
It makes high power out Of low grade
Compared with other engines Of the
same size Or thereabouts, it shows:
More bouyer IA are rapid 0cceleraton
Greater economy Greater length cf
- Greater snpoothness
And an amazing dbiilliity 70 start quickly on
q cold day, and 70 'q01,,n ab aUitloat delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why It is 50 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 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 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.

Warren sheaf., 1917-11-07

A new manifold, termed THE Rams
horn, has been constructed Of simple pip
ing. 1t is on the exterior Of the engine. It
IS 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-
tifically, 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.
The case Of this Chalmers engine has
been proved.
l. On August i and 2, Joe Dawson
drove q Chalmers + equipped with this same
engine 1898 miles in "a hours faster and
on land, sea or air.
# there's flaw in pattern, or part,
solid day Of bitter, brutal speed will fndit.
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 @. <. on this engine,
and accordingly on the Chalmers car.
80 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.

REPLY TO WHEY.


A few weeks ago a poem, purport
ing to be from a wife of member OF
the Idaho legislature, caused consid.
cradle amusement when read in the
house. Now, Representative Lucas OF
Adams county comes back with a
reply. Both poems are good, and are
given below:
Appeal 10 Hubby.
Husband, dear husband, come 10 me
now,
I'm shifting the odor of spring;
You've stayed long enough in the
capital there;
You're much safer under my wing.
The old horse is paving the stable
like mad;
The colt is in a terrible stew;
The small brindlc heifer has got
white calf,
And the cattle are bawling for you.
The voice Of your Betsy is calling
you, dear;
II is nearly time to make soap;
And some of the women are saying,
my dear,
That I'm giving you too much rope,
They say there is desperate flirting
up there
With widows and maids not a few;
haven't been kissed since the morn
ing you left
But, dearie, how is it with YOU

Idaho Northern Compelled to Resort
TO Snow Plow TO Clear Road.
Drifted snow on the Idaho North
ern branch of the Oregon Short Line
Monday completely blocked traffic
on that line, the blockade occurring
near mile post SO. The downbound
train Monday noon was unable to get
through, and passengers were taken
back 10 Cascade. In order to attack
the drifts as quickly as possible it
was necessary for the Short Line to
borrow rotary pillow from the O.-W.
X. Il N. This was sent up Tuesday
morning. In the vicinity of Mccall,
several big snowslides are reported.
Up to a few days ago il has been
possible TO get mail by sled into Nc
Call-something unusual; but the re-
cent slides stopped that. An effort
was made TO break a road through,
but the last slides have not packed as
usual. and the mail has had to be
taken through by man on snow

another load at $3.50 There was a
good spread of steers that brought
1895 to 1918. Good light 1000 pound

went at $S.75 and $S.S5. A number
of sales of medium beef steers were
made at 1925 and $3.50, which made

dairy cows sold from So to $6.75.
Hogs.
Hogs made further advance of so

supply, barely enough to let each
buyer get on a pen. One load sold
at $3.50, while the bulk of the sales
were made at S13.25 and 1888. Pigs
We're in good supply with an excellent
call. Best pigs brought STEPS with
the bulk of the bids at S12. Feeders
sold mostly at $11.50.
Sheep.
Sheep and lamb prices made further
advances yesterday. There was a
liberal supply on the market with
good demand. Best lambs sold read
lily at $3.50 to $3.50, yearlings
$40 for several decks, while
several loads of good ewes sold at

conductor declined them as fare, but
the conversation attracted the at

HOW UNION WOMEN WORK.

An appeal was sent out from Red
Cross headquarters last week for help
to finish making the garments which
the committee had cut out. No soon
er than it became known that help
was needed than dozens of workers Of
fered their services and the garments
placer, and the chairman, Mrs. l.. j.
Hames, said many more could have
been placed as the women were eager
and willing to help in any way. The
committee purposes sending a box of
supplies this week and sent out this
rush call.
Mrs. Hames says there will soon be
work for everybody as the cutters are
busy every day and if you want to
work communicate with her or any
member of the committee.
The women of Union are to be high
ly commended for the noble way in
which they responded to tie call for
help, but it is characteristic u the
Union people to do their part in e,ery'
thing and is no surprise.

Operations OF First Draft viii Be
Studied by Provost Marshal
Before Next One is Ar
ranged-First Increment
Will Fill All Train
ing Areas.

Washington, Aug. ga full sta
tistical report on the operations of
the draft law will be prepared by the
provost marshal generals office as
soon as the mobilization of the first
increment of 6S7,000 men of the ma
tional army has been completed some
time early in October.
Pending preparations of the report
and the careful study of the analysis
it discloses, no steps towards calling
a second increment to the ColorS will
be made.
General Crowder said today he
calling of the second increment had
not been considered at any conference
at which he was present and he had
no indication that it had been taken
up in any way by President Wilson
or Secretary Baker.
The first increment will fill all the
training areas, Is national guard
camps and 1G national army conton-
mentS, to capacity, and there will be
surplus of men besides those as
signed to the regular army The reg
ularS are now 10000 above full au-
thorized war strength by voluntary
enlistment and the national guard is
in a similar situation. The training
facilities already are taxed to make
ready for the front men now available
and it is regarded as very unlikely
that organization of an additional
500,0 men Of the national army can
begin until early spring of 1918.
Neither quarters nor personnel to
train the force will be available be-
fore that time.
Inequalities of an unavoidable ma
ture will be shown in the statistical
report. There probably will be some
-.ended regulations, based on actual
experience with the first increment
and some amendments in the law may
be thought desirable by congress.
It is possible that some provision
s2ade whereby all the sons of
definition cf che status. Is. IT otalksa ken led men
may be one of the things acted upon.
President Wilson's letter to Senator
Weeks is taken by many to indicate
feeling that more liberal policy
may be found desirable.
At present, under regulations, a
condition of actual dependency must
be established to obtain exemption.
The condition of marriage in itself is
not considered. Another matter to be
worked out is the status of aliens.
Still another is the status of men
who have passed beyond draft age
since bing drafted and that of those
who have become of draft age in the
meantime.
