AL IL noon, MONDAY, March 26,
a stock Chalmers sevcn-passenger
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 1868
miles through Chicago's densest
traffic. The motor had never been
stopped. Nothing but high gear
was used.
To prove conclusively Chalmers
f1exibility 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.

An average of slightly over IA
miles per gallon Of gasoline was
attained, an excellent example of
Chalmers economy.
1868 miles, through the famous
congested Chicago loop" district,
is 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 reli-
ability. 1t demonstrates Chalmers
cooling. 1t shows Chalmers fex-
ibility and perfect control. 1t is
new achievement.
A condensed summary of the
signed certificate issued by the
Contest Board of the American
Automobile Association, under
whose supervision the test was
made, is reproduced below.

CTS fin the Free Command has resigned her position and desires to return with me to Russia. I fear you may think that I am taking prisoner instead. Lest you should feel bound to delay me till the matter can be investigated, leave with you a little present con- tained in this package"
 The colonel took the package into another room, examined 1t and found hundred thousand rubles. His eyes stood out of his head, but when he returned to Champlin he merely said:
 Il will not delay you.''
 The next day the Journalist complet- ed his inspection, and in the morning, just before break of day, he drove out of the prison yard with Lisa's keeper, thickly yelled. AS soon as they were out of sight and hearing the woman's veil was thrown off, and Lisa sprang into her preserver's arms.

How to Fit a Horse Collar.

A collar should be fitted 10 the horse and not the horse to the collar. The collar that is too large should not he used on horse in the hope that he will grow large enough so it will even tually fit. A collar that fits well in the spring may not fit at all in the fall.

All household furnishings should be exposed to direct sunlight for num- Der of hours every few days. Direct sunlight is the best disinfectant known. It kills germs ill few hours Diffused sunlight or daylight may have as good effect, but in much lcnger time. Shut ting the sunlight out 's the house is an unhygienic custom. It should go as has gone many of the ideas and customs belonging to the dark ages. Germs live and thrive in darkness. For that reason sunshine should find it's way into the home daily. and it's presence should be welcomed as mes senger of cleanliness ana good health. The drawing of shades and the closing of windows to keep the carpets and draperies from fading should be dis cOuraged. If is better to have carpets and draperies that are faded than to have boys and girls With checks that are faded. Roses in the checks are more valuable than roses in the ,arpet.

A Rescue Story of an Ameri- cans Adventure
 In Russia.
By ALAN HINSDALE

Fred Champlin possessed an income of $50,O00 year and was globe trot- ter. He was also an amateur sports man-yachtsman and everything else that affords amusement out of doors.
 One winter Champlin was in St. Pc tersburg mow Petrograd. Russia was then at peace with all of the world except herself. Revolution was brew ing. The government knew 1t was brewing. and the Russian secret police was keeping an eye on all suspected citizens. Revolutions are generally up heavals of the lowest classes. The late Russian movement was partic1pat- ed in by persons of first grade, includ- ing the nobles, or at least members or noble families. Champlin was not aware of what was going On-for everything was done secretly-till one night when he attended ball given at the Winter palace.
 The American minister had secured him his invitation and had warned him to exercise the utmost care in avoiding being drawn into a dangerous position toward the government.
 The advice was lost on Champlin who proposed to associate with whom he pleased. Being a free American citizen he demurred at being told by any government who should not be his friend However. he went to the ball, not dreaming that he would fall into the trap such as he had been warned against.
 He was dancing with a girl, the daughter of general in the Russian army. Her right hand was in his lert and held high. He felt something drop into his coat sleeve. The girl brought the dance to close. at the same time looking meaningly at the sleeve. LOW ering his arm. Champlin caught some thing in his hand. He put it in his coat pocket without looking at 1t. but as soon as he could do so unObserved he examined it, finding a powder wrap ned in a lit of paper. as medicines are put ID ny druggists.
 As Champlin was leaving for his h"- tel he saw the girl he had danced with LaSsing out. Two men, one on each side. escorted her. They were evi- dently not guests. The girl gave Champlin a look which he could not understand. but he inferred that 1t was an appeal for something. He pass Pl out of the palace behind the two men and the @irl and saw them enter a carriage. Jumping into his own con veyance. he directed his cOachman to f0llCw the one just driving away.
 Champlin saw the two men and the girl alight in front of a police station and go inside. There he lost her. He thought of following her in. but feared to compromise her by doing so. It was Twell he did not, for the powder remained in lis CCat porket. and r. he had been searched deadly poison v-~-''l howe honn found on him. sThiS

PavcholooN of Sleep.

The psychology of sleep is a vast and little explored subject. Sleep deepens to trance, trance to death. Therefore in life, speaking somewhat paradox ically, sleep is most akin to death. Whether the spirit is parted from the body and goes long journeys through space or whether it is tn state of one long dream, parts of which we are alone conscious of, is matter for the Society of Psychical Research. Yet many of us have dreamed things, seen things or even spoken and heard things in sleep which we have seen, heard or spoken later on in reality. We can more or less follow the stages up to the final sleep of all, but here we must pause and, with Hamlet. in vain at tempt to learn what lies beyond the veil, And in that sleep of death what dreams may come!'-London Globe.

Rlundarn by NoveIists.

Novelists, even of eminence, are prone to make blunders. Sir Walter Besant in "For Faith and Freedom" wrote after the Eykins had settled in Providence, "Barnaby- soon grew tired of this quiet life and went on board steamer bound for England, promising that we should hear from him." This was in 1886 or 1887, and the first steamer from America to. England did not reach Liverpool till July, 1919. Wilkie Collins also made. numerous amazing blunders.. In "The Duel In Herne Wood" he makes the story open with the receipt of a telegram, and the period is 1917, when twenty years had to elapse before the first telegraphic wire was laid. Three of the characters also talk of taking the express train to London" in defiance of the fact that the first railway to London was not opened till 1888.

Waste In Food,

Eat what is on your plate" may seem to many people to be a new table precept, yet it has been practiced for many years in certain little cOmmuni- ties nestled among the rugged hills of New England, where the waste of food is regarded as almost crime. Hang ing on the walls of many houses in these communities may be found the liable Monitor" perhaps worked in wOrsted or cardboard and setting forth this sentiment, which somehow has q characteristic old time New England ring:
 Prosperity may roll with ample flaw, Still to be priz"d, that it may widely
 bless.

 will not mock with selfish wasteful-
 ness.

People Who Rarely Wink.

There are people who rarely wink. How they manage to get along with out doing so is marvel, but some how or other they do. Some eyes are naturally more moist than others, and the very moist eye does not so much need the assistance of the lids to keep the eyebaII bright. It is a cOnstitu- tional matter, for winking, though under the control of the will, is done so quickly that it is practically an invOl- untary action. Men wink when they feel that the eye is uncomfortably dry, and when it does not become dry the necessity for winking is not felt,

TAX W0ULDUR
 IDLE LAND USED

That a measure to bring into use the 400, ,346,575 acres of idle farm land in the United States is the only way to settle the food question permanently is the contention of the Homestead Land and Loan league, which has sent letters to members of congress urging support of the Crosser bill for the taxation of the site value of land.
 Mentioning the idle farm land in the country, the letter says:
 "The greater part of these lands are held for speculative purposes the own CTS looking forward to the time when hey will sell them at profit and thus reap the increase in value which has been brought about by the growth and industry of these several communities. Besides this vast domain which is held unproductive, it is a conservative esti- mate to say that fully one-half of the land of every city in the country is va cant, held for rise in value.'
 But this condition,' the letter con- cludes, can be remedied by the use of the taxing power of the government. It is now proposed to raise the bulk of the war ravenue by taxing food building materials and the things which the people need every day fol existence. These taxes will have tC

WOMAN GOT RICH . IN WALL STREET

Miss Katherine M. Giles, one of the
 most successful women of Wall street,
 has announced her retirement from
 business.
 The announcement came as a sur
 prise and shock to the cotton trade,
 which for many years has looked to
 Miss Giles for authoritative reports on the cotton crop. It is reported that she will devote her time to home duties at Closter, N. J.
 Miss Giles demonstrated to her own
 satisfaction that a woman can make money in business if she concentrates on one line, and her frequent advice to girls who have sought her assist | ance in getting start has been to pick out a particular line and learn it to the minrtest detail.
 Miss Giles started as a bookkeeper in a cotton brokerage house, and soon | realized the possibilities of an agency which would give accurate crop re- | ports. So the agency was started Miss Giles acquired correspondents in 1 every county in the cotton belt, who | reported regularly to her on crop and 1 acreages. These renorts were tabu- l lated and retabulated until they came 1 out regularly in concise and compact ! form, each time several days ahead of
 the government figures.
 Most of the correspondents in the ] belt and large number of persons who I purchased her reporting service did not know that the bold TX. M Giles" with | which she signed her correspondence I was the name of a woman
 | Miss Giles is reported to have
 amassed fortune.

USING
 FL|MSY PLIERS

A notable feature of the recent air fighting has been the tendency of Ger man machines to break to pieces soon after being shot out of control. Ordi- narily German machines have been re- marked for their great stability and maneuvering powers, but lately many of them have been seen to fly to pieces in mid air, their wings breaking off and the whole structure collapsing.
 It is known that the British air of fensive since April l has placed a heavy strain upon the enemys aerial resources, and it is possible that the speed with which he has had to send machines to the western front to re place losses may easily account for the frailty or faultiness so noticeable nowadays to British pilots. Numbers of air planes have also been brought from the eastern front, and there has been the same massing of air effect ives opposite as of guns and fighting divisions

TELLS SOLDIERS HOW
 ID HANDLE FEET SO
 MARCHINC |S EASY

A successful march, according to the field service regulations of the United States army, whether in peace or war is one that places the troops at their destination at the proper moment and in the best possible condition. In war marches are of daily occurrence, and success depends in great measure upon the skill with which they are con- ducted.
 Good marching is assured by careful preparation, strict discipline and the due observance of march sanitation. While conforming to other require ments, marches are conducted so as to reduce to a minimum the hardships of the troops.
 So much the officers in command of the units of a marching column are re sponsible for but there is another fac tor which enters into the equation, and which the individual must determine for himself The distance which troops can march in a day is limited only by the endurance and marching ability of the slowest unit in the col umn. This distance is great or small as the men know, or do not know, how to eXpend their energy most econom- ically
 A man has just so much energy to eXpend. If he wastes some of it it will move his body forward just so much less in the course of a day. Walking so that the body is raised and lowered unnecessarily with every step is a waste of energy, and not only makes each step shorter. but requires more work of the muscles in moving the body forward a given distance.
 In drills at attention the prescribed step for the soldier is thirty inches and 100 steps are taken every minute Marching in the field, however, is usu- ally at route step-that is. the men are not required to maintain the rhythm nor to keep step with each other. Ii is here that the individual can save his energy to the best advantage
 The feet should be moved forward in straight lines and planted without shock. The arms swing naturally at the sides, most of the motion being ir that part of the arm below the elbow

NAVAL RESERVE

Eight new cOastwise patrol bases will be established before fall along
 the New England coast from Eastpor-,

 ment to this effect was made by Assist
 ant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D.. Roosevelt recently upon his return to
 Washington from a tour of inspection
 of the North Atlantic coast. For Obvi-
 Ous reasons, no announcement will be made of the location of the bases. which will be in addition to those of the Boston HarbOr patrol, which will operate from Pumpkin Island and Commonwealth Pier.
 Forty five hundred naval reservists, practically New England boys, will be stationed at the bases soon to be established or will be on patrol boats operating from the new bases. Two
 thousand reservists will be on the pa | trol boats which will swing up and l down the New England coast on the
 constant lookout for hostile craft. Eff l bases, ready at a moments notice to 1 relieve the men on the boats
 There will be one thousand other re- l servists on special duty.

be borne by the consumer. We urge that these taxes be levied in such way as to make for the increase of food production, the lowering of rents, for the reduction of the cost of food and for the prevention of the holding of land out of use and land specula- tion.
 "The levying of a tax on the unim- proved value of land will accomplish these ends peedily. No man will con- tinue to hold land out of use in the face of a national policy which makes it unprofitable for him to do this, by taking for government purposes the annual site value of the land due to the industry and social capacity. These ground rents belong to the people as a whole, not to private individuals and should be taken by the state and na- tional governments in lieu of other taxes"

This maintains the balance of the body when the weight is on one foot.
 The rifle can be carried at will by troops marching at route step. Alto gether, the easiest way to carry it is at right shoulder arms, although, of course, a change of position is very restful.
 The position of right shoulder arms finds the rifle sloping across the shoul- der at an angle of about 45 degrees, barrel and muZZle to the rear, trigger guard in the hollow of the shoulder. The heel of the butt is between the first two fingers and the right forearm horizontal, elbow close to the side.
 In this position the soldier is doing less work in carrying the rifle than in any other way. The center of gravity is just a trifle in the rear of the shoul- der.

"SAMM|ES" COIN
 NEW WAR SONGS

The inherent ability of Americans to coin new and startling phrases is il- lustrated by dispatch from France which states that the men of Persh- ing's expeditionary force are singing an attractive ditty entitled, T Did Not Raise My Son; He Had Four Aces
 Among other war songs which bid fair to back such old timers as "There'll Be a Hot Time" off the boards are Push All Your Nickels in the Automat and Chew, Chew, Chew and "Grandpa's Raising Whiskers for His Country These highly patriotic hymns" are actually becoming popu- lar in the camp of the American sol diers. the dispatches say.
