CHALMERS CARS UsE
 GAS ECONOMICALLY

The following letter. a copy of which has just been received by R. D. Roper of the Roper Motor company, distrib- utor for Chalmers and Maxwell cars. is of interest at this time when so much stress is being laid on the fuel situation and the necessity of conserv- ing on gasoline.
 Dear Sir:
 I have just completed some gasoline tests made with a five-p passenger stock Chalmers car. The results were as follows
 An average of fl miles per gallon was maintained for 154 miles of city driving. This was made through traf- fife and without economy cn fuel in view.
 Seventy miles around boulevards. out of traffic, driving under same con- ditions otherwise and likewise with no especial economy in view averaged 15 miles to the gallon.
 Hundred and twenty-two miles of cross country on dirt, gravel and con- crete and driving at an average of 22 miles per hour showed Is miles to the gallon for the trip.
 On three single gallon tests driving at AU inlIeS per nOur the car showed, lS.-. 1894 and 1S.6 miles, respectively.
 From these tests I believe it is pos sible to guarantee the public from IA to IS miles average. Also that if a car were especially prepared a record of 25 miles a gallon could be made.
 The Stromberg carburetor as used on this model was very simple to ad- just and handled the motor nicely.
 Yours very truly, RAY F. MCNAMARA. Road Engineer Chalmers and Maxwell
 Companies.
 These records. states MT. Roper bear out the conservatiness of the statements we have been making as to the unusually low fuel consumption of the Chalmers. The patented rams horn type of intake manifold and the Chalmers hot spot are features that were incorporated into the 1918 Chal- mers with this view of economy as well as for the purpose of taking care of low grade fuels.

SUGGESTIONS FUR PROLONC|NC LIVES
 0F CARS |S GIVEN

There is much that any car owner, whether or not he is a mechanic can do to make sure he is getting the most out of his machine" says MT. Fergu- son of Ferguson -Keeler who handle Oldsmobiles in this vicinity.
 "1n the first place, he can make sure that his carburetor is set to feed the leanest practical mixture of gas into his engine. This makes a world of difference not only in the amount of fuel consumed but in the condition of the motor. If too rich mixture is used the combustion chambers and valves will foul quickly and this means a trip to the service station that will involve considerable expense, If a man does not trust himself to make this slight adjustment, it is only a mo- ments work for an experienced garage man. or course, everyone finds It necessary to change the carburetor when winter comes but it is advisable to check up three or four times during the year to make certain of best pos sible results.
 Here at the Oldsmobile garage we never get through warning new own CTS particularly, that fabrication is the very life blood of an automobile. An improperly oiled and greased car is on the short route to the junk heap, and in these days especially it is a shame to allow good machinery to deterio- rate through negligence
 "Of course there are dozens of things" continued MT. Ferguson. that contribute to the long life of a car, but here are few tips that will prove ot every day usefulness. The use of good graphite grease in universal joints will give far more mileage than ordinary cup grease. In this connection, it is absolutely essential to screw the plug in tight after filling to prevent other wise unavoidable leakage
 Very often the front wheels of car are thrown out of alignment by some trivial accident such as glancing off a curb. This goes unnoticed until hard steering, or excessive tire wear, or both. warn the owner that some thing is wrong. It is a good idea to make an occasional inspection. This is simple enough matter because the front edges of the rims should be 3-S of an inch closer together than the rear edges.
 Practically all ignition, starting and lighting troubles can be avoided by 1 having the storage battery tested at 1 fortnightly intervals and by checking up once a month or so to make sure that all the electrical connections are snug"

FACTORIES SOON ID STOP TURNING OUT
 PASSENGER CARS

The only cars on which we can quote prices, states Mir. Roper of the R. D. Roper Motor Company. distributor of Chalmers and Maxwell cars, are the cars actually enroute or on our show room floor. This statement indicates the proximity of a raise in price bet ter than anything else that could pre- sent as evidence and is the essence of 6 letter just received from the Chal- mers and Maxwell factories.
 sln addition to a raise in price comes the news of placing both these factories which have been on a sixty per cent war basis, on a hundred per cent war basis as soon as possible. This of course means that we will soon receive our last shipment of cars.
 The only thing that we can speculate on now is how high Chalmers and Max well prices will go on the used car mar ket and at what figure we will have to sell the few we may get in the future. The price situation is unusual in that the enormous output of the Maxwell and Chalmers plant has allowed the present prices to be maintained for over five months in spite of the fact practically every other car has raised it's price. The cars that we are able to sell at present prices will surely prove to be bargains.

models of the Jordan line for the com ing season. according to an announce ment by Babbitt Brothers, local dis tributors for Jordans.
 This feature is especially important in view of the demand for light car which will consume minimum Of gasoline and which is light enough to be handled by the owner himself. The characteristic body style of the sub- urban seven is the long straight side lines with beveled edges. The top runs in a straight line from front cowl to rear of tonneau without the usual bulge found in the old fashioned tour ing car, yet giving full seven -passen- ger capacity.
 This car, with the 127-inch wheel base and all aluminium body weighs only 3100 pounds. The name "Subur- ban Seven has been adopted because the car was designed for the suburban resident, who picks his home site away from the noise and hustle of the city and some distance from the electric and steam railroads.

SPARES

The question of what spares to take on reasonably extended tours is one that bothers most motorists. Here are few useful spares that are frequently forgotten. For instance extra bulbs for the headlights ought always to be carried. A few dry cells may be in valuable in emergency. Two or three pairs of plier instead of the customary one. should certainly be carried. Spare tire valves and hand tire pump for emergencies will be friends in need on occasion.

MUD SCRAPER

A convenient home made mud scrap CT may be made by cutting a shallow oval in the running board before the door. Across the outer edge of this oval a piece of bar steel is screwed,
 corresponding to the thickness of the running board. It is very simple to scrape mud from the shoes and the dirt so removed falls through the oval cut out in the board

Efficient Plant

Automobile production experts who have visited the factory of the Chev- rolet Motor company of California at Oakland pronounce the big plant one of the most efficient they have ever seen. The work is so systematized that a quantity of material starts at one end of one of the huge upper wings and comes out three floors below a finished automobile in every particus lar. No detail of the work calls for a car doubling on its tracks" for any operation in it's construction.

D|ST|LLATE MAKES
 FUR CHEAP MILEAGE

Carl Brockhagen, one of the best known newspaper publishers on the Pacific coast, is firm believer in dis tillate as fuel substitute for gasoline According to his verdict, given after actual experience, it saves money and delivers fully as much power as the more expensive liquid.
 On a recent tour from his home in Oakland to Los Angeles and southern California points and back Brockhagen travelled l492 miles in his Baby Grand Chevrolet on 72 gallons of distillate, an average of better than 20 miles to the gallon. And since the cheaper fuel cost him but ten cents a gallon, the entire run was made for S7.20 Figured down to gnats bankroll, this was a cost per mile per passenger of .0051s cents, as four persons rode in the Brockhagen Chevrolet.

MORE men NEEDED FOR
LUMBERMFk'S S REGIMENT

Washington, Feb. 2.-Six thousand
additional men are wanted at once to
bring the Twentieth Engineers (For-
est) regiment up to full strength, ac-
cording to officials of the Forest Ser
vice who have been requested by the
War Department to aid in securing
the necessary recruits. This is the
second forest regiment formed by the
War Department and will be the big
gest regiment in the world.
The first forest regiment has been
in France for several months, busy in
cutting and getting out of the French
forests timber, lumber, and other ma
erial for our army. Some battalions Of
the Twentieth have also gone across,
and other will follow as their equip
ment and preliminary training are
completed. Men who enter this unit
are therefore assured, the officials
say, of early service abroad.
Men can join the regiment by en-
listment if not of draft age and if
within the age limits, which are from
18 to 40. Registrants under the selec-
tive draft law who have not been noti-
fled to hold themselves in readiness to
report for duty at a camp can be "in-
duced' into the regiment if they can
show that they are qualified for it.
Applicants for enlistment or indie
tion may apply by letter to The For
