longed when two pretty girls at the
closing line of the song stepped
forward and stretched before the
audience an immense American flag.
There was great handclapping and
cheering when Strossman's Guards

building and took positions around
the wall of the auditorium. At
torney John A. Judy then intro
duced with appropriate remarks

A Typical Chalmers Performance

At - noon, Monday, March %,
stock Chalmers seven-passcngcr
touring car with first and second
gears removed, was started north
on Michigan Boulevard through
Chicago traffic.
At noon Tuesday, March 27,
the Chalmers was stopped at the
starting point. 1t had gone 586.8
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic. The motor had never been
stopped. Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conelusively Chalmers
fexibility on high gear, the low
and intermediate gears were re-
moved from the transmission.
The car was a standard Chalmers
seven passenger touring model,
complete with standard body, top
and full equipment. The same
model you can buy today.

Mt. Sterling, Ky, April 6, 1917.
To the President,
Washington, d. c.,
Members of Mt. Sterling Lodge OF
Elks endorse unreservedly the course
of action suggested in your recent

The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1917-04-10

An average of slightly over IA
miles per gallon of gasoline was
attained, an excellent example of
Chalmers economy.
586.S miles, through the famous
congested Chicago loop district,
is a wonderful feat. This perfor-
nance on high gear is even more
wonderful. 1t is without an equal.
1t is an endorsement of the
motor. 1t proves Chalmers reI-
ability. 1t demonstrates Chalmers
cooling. 1t shows Chalmers flex-
ibility and perfect control. 1t is
new achievement.

signed certificate issued by the
Contest Board of the American
Automobile Association, under
whose supervision the test was
made, is reproduced below.

system OF the Hindenburu line defenses
on the whole front between ST. Quentin and
